Wuliang Shan

It is a branch of the Yunling Mountains, part of the Hengduan Mountains, and serves as the watershed between theLancang Riverand the Babian River. The mountains are majestic and imposing, with continuous ridges and deeply incised river valleys on both the east and west sides, resulting in significant relative elevation differences. The area has a subtropical monsoon climate with distinct vertical climate characteristics, presenting different natural views as the altitude changes. From the valleys to the peaks, the vegetation is layered and lush. Wuliang Shan is a habitat for many rare animals and plants. Western black crested gibbons leap and call among the trees, and wild animals such as Phayre's langurs and Chinese gorals are often seen in the depths of the dense forests. Scattered throughout the mountains are natural views such asLiangjian Lake, Huangcaoling,and the Gongping Grand Grassland.Wuliangjian Lakewas formed by alluvial deposits from a waterfall; its water is clear, and it is surrounded by lush forests.

Between winter and spring, cherry blossoms bloom among the tea ridges, creating a pink and green landscape shrouded in mist.Jingdong · 12.7 km from downtown

Stone Forest Scenic Area
The Stone Forest Scenic Area is located in Shilin County, Kunming, and is one of the key attractions in the city. This scenic area showcases typical karst landforms, featuring stone peaks, pinnacles, sinkholes, and underground rivers. The towering rock formations take on various shapes—sword-like, pagoda-like, mushroom-like, and more—creating a breathtaking and fantastical landscape. The Stone Forest Scenic Area is divided into several widely spaced sections, with the Greater and Lesser Stone Forest attractions at its core. The Naigu Stone Forest is located approx. 12 km north of the main attractions, while the Dadie Waterfall scenic area sits approx. 29 km southwest. The Changhu Lake area is positioned 26 km southeast of the main site. When visitors refer to touring the Stone Forest, they typically mean exploring the Greater and Lesser Stone Forest sections. The Greater and Lesser Shilin are located in the same area. After purchasing tickets at the main entrance and walking along the path for 20 minutes, you'll find the smaller and more gently sloped Lesser Shilin Scenic Area on your left. Amidst the dense cluster of peaks stands the famous Ashima Stone, where the majestic karst formations resemble a graceful Yi ethnic maiden named Ashima, seemingly waving to visitors—a favorite photo spot for travelers. Beyond the striking Ashima, the Lesser Shilin area features other captivating views like the Steed and Pillar Supporting the Sky, each with unique shapes. This is where your imagination is put to the test. If you find your imagination lacking, we recommend hiring a guide who can offer fresh perspectives on these remarkable formations. As you drive leisurely along the highway, you'll encounter a series of remarkable rock formations lining the roadside—the Tang Monk Stone, Stone Prison, Phoenix Combing Its Wings, and Lingzhi Mushroom Rock—each vividly lifelike and exquisitely crafted by nature's artistry, presenting their unique postures to showcase Earth's wondrous creations. Strolling along the pathway, you'll unexpectedly arrive at the Great Stone Forest Scenic Area. After marveling at wonders like "Two Birds Sharing Food," "Rhinoceros Gazing at the Moon," "Lotus Peak," "Shilin Grand View," and "Stone Screen," you might feel slightly fatigued. Take a peaceful break at Lion Pavilion while admiring the inverted peaks reflected in Lion Pool across the way. After prolonged exposure to these karst formations, visual fatigue may set in—making it the perfect moment to shift perspectives. Board a cruise on Shilin Lake, where mountain vistas and water scenery converge into one breathtaking panorama, dissolving all stress and worries. If you prefer not to walk, electric carts driven by Yi ethnic women shuttle between attractions and stop upon request. You can still marvel at the wonders of the Stone Forest Scenic Area, and some friendly drivers may even share interesting local anecdotes along the way. Naigu Stone Forest, also known as New Stone Forest or Mozhai Stone Forest, is located 13 km north of the Stone Forest Scenic Area. It features a landscape composed of stone formations, Baiyun Lake, Shifeng Mountain, and Yougu Xianpu Waterfall. Compared to the Stone Forest Scenic Area, this site offers a distinct style. The towering gray-black stone pillars here are densely packed, resembling castles, towers, and mushrooms. The rugged, primitive rock formations surge skyward like waves, creating a majestic atmosphere. Walking through these dark peaks feels like stepping into a primeval world.China · Shilin

There is a Wuliang Mountain in Nanjian, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture. I never thought that the world is so small that there is also a Wuliang Mountain in Jingdong, Jialing. Dali is famous for its romantic scenery and winter cherry blossoms, and the tea trees here have become a landscape.

Location: Haigeng Park/No. 16 Hubin Road ↔ Xishan Longmen (West Mountain Dragon Gate), not near the old street, you have to go to the Dianchi Lake area.
Experience: Crossing the lake + climbing the mountain, about 20 minutes one way, views of Dianchi Lake, Sleeping Beauty Mountain, and city scenery, great for taking photos.
Ticket Price: One way about 59-60 RMB, round trip about 98-100 RMB.
Advantages: Easy for lazy people to climb West Mountain, no climbing required, unique views; seagulls in winter.
Disadvantages: Stops during strong winds/thunderstorms; long queues during peak season; separate ticket/walking required for Longmen after climbing the mountain; don't confuse with the "Xishan Longmen Cableway".
Conclusion: First time in Kunming, taking the Dianchi-Xishan route → worth it; if just exploring the old street → not worth a special trip.

I saw a lot of small animals... The tour guide explained that you shouldn't handle a caterpillar, but I encountered one at the Sun River, played with it, and then developed a rash... You really should listen to professionals!

The scenery is beautiful and should be great for taking photos, but unfortunately we had a child with us… We went in the morning, and the lighting was excellent! There's a fish feeder inside, and the carp and catfish are huge, as well as black swans and a Kapibala interactive area. Since we went to the Wild Elephant Valley, we didn't go see the elephants. Highly recommended!

It's definitely worth a visit. I fed the elephants and saw a song and dance performance. It's worth mentioning that the performers were very dedicated and professional on stage. I also had an elephant meal at the scenic area. The price wasn't expensive; it cost about 200 yuan for four people. After visiting Wild Elephant Valley, you can also go to Manzhang Village to do handicrafts. A taxi from Xishuangbanna city to Wild Elephant Valley cost about 70 yuan.

The architecture is distinctive, and it's quite photogenic. However, it's essentially a modern, man-made tourist attraction; it's not particularly interesting, with nothing particularly fun or story-driven. People who enjoy taking photos and checking off landmarks can come here; it's definitely suitable for posing and taking pictures.

The scenic area isn't very large overall, so I highly recommend buying round-trip sightseeing bus tickets. The price is reasonable, it saves a lot of effort, and it's especially suitable for traveling with elders! 👍 Take the electric cart to the core area, then explore at your own pace. The entire tour takes about 2 hours, a comfortable and relaxed experience.
Along the way, you'll see various geothermal landscapes, with the Big Boiling Pot Hot Spring being the most impressive. The billowing steam is truly breathtaking; seeing it with your own eyes is a testament to the wonders of nature. The trails are well-maintained with clear signage, allowing you to see the hot spring pools and fumaroles while enjoying the rich sulfurous aroma.
The mountains are lush with greenery, the air is fresh, and a stroll is very pleasant. For elderly travelers, the electric cart is essential, saving you the effort of long uphill walks. You don't need to allocate a whole day for Tengchong Hot Spring; half a day is enough to see all the key attractions.
