Stone Forest: A Unique Wonder of the World!

The Ultimate Lazy Traveler's Guide to the Stone Forest 🚗Transportation: 1.5-hour drive from Kunming | High-speed train to Shilin West Station + taxi 🎫Tickets: CNY 130 (including electric cart) ⏰Recommended visiting time: 3–4 hours "Ashima, under which stone are you waiting for me?" Wander through a giant stone maze sculpted over 270 million years, and you'll feel as if Yi folk tunes are drifting through the air🎶. Legend has it that the beautiful Ashima was transformed into a stone statue, forever waiting for her love—the "Ashima Peak," with its head held high, is the Stone Forest's most tender poem. Touch the rough stone walls, trace the thousand-year-old legends with your fingertips, and hear the whispers of the Sani people's stories in every gust of wind. --- In-depth experience | Be a Sani girl for a day ▪️Rent an embroidered costume just like Ashima's (CNY 30/hour), and stroll through the stone alleys with the jingle of silver ornaments. ▪️Encounter an impromptu "Ashi Dance"💃, and don't hesitate to join in and swing your sanxian! ▪️Savor the Sani flavors: Braised mutton soup in a clay pot + buckwheat baba dipped in honey, the sweet and spicy flavors of the mountains will burst on your tongue.
