Breathtaking stone forest in Kunming

Less known, but one of the most authentic and breathtaking places I have ever visited in my life. It is the Stone Forest (Kunming Stone Forest, Shilin in Chinese), a spectacular set of limestone groups and representative of the karst landscape of southern China. Known since the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) as the "first wonder of the world", it is one of the most important attractions in Yunnan. You can get there by a bus available from Kunming city, since this attraction is located in a bordering county. It was so fun to get lost in those rocky labyrinths, among which you meet the women and men of the Yi ethnic minority with their colorful clothes and musical art. Then, the waterways, the dense vegetation ... In short, if you pass through Yunnan for Kunming and you don't make a trip here, it's like not having been there. Unmissable. #yunnan #kunming #stoneforest

The Stone Forest (石林) near Kunming is a remarkable geological formation. Aeons of sedementation, erosion and volcanic eruption have left sharp, jagged pillars of stone rather like trees, which rise singly and in groves over a large plain. Whether looking down from above or walking through cave-like passages between the rocks, marvel at the alien landscape nature's forces have left. I highly recommend bringing a picnic lunch, as there are no places to get food in or around the park aside from some expensive and unappetizing snacks. It's worth setting aside a whole day for Shilin, as the park is large and there are many different views. We travelled to Shilin Town by bus and stayed in a local hotel, but the park could also be visited as a day trip from Kunming, especially if you have a car. #leaveyourmark #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #stoneforest #石林 #kunming #yunnan #views #photography #geology #amazingplaces #naturalwonders
