Magic Stone Forest Hiking Path

#hikingtime This is one of the most characteristic and representative scenic spots in the Jinfo Mountains. Compared to other stone forests, there are also stone peaks and stone curtains, and the landscape resembles a stone forest. But the difference is that the local stone forest is a symbiotic miracle, full of vitality, like a sage hidden in the primeval forest of the sky and the sun. This is a real Shilin forest (Shilin 石林, which means stone forest), with many fantastic compositions of bamboo, moss, trees reaching up to the sky and making their way through granite boulders with their roots. There were a lot of art titles and descriptions, such as “dragon's foot on a rock” or “white horse" . From this place, you can go out onto the road and take a minibus to any end of the park at the top of the plateau that is really interesting. However, it is better to continue walking through the stone forest and the azalea garden and returned to the path leading to the cliff. At one point, I would like to share all pictures I took during this amazing travelling in the Stone Forest. It was interesting to see how the lighting changed during the day. After the main entrance to Yan Kou Cave, then a little further, past the collapsed entrance to Ling Guan Cave. We actually saw the swallows after which it was named. Another path to the rocks, and then an observation deck. This stone forest is a real maze! Thank God, there are a lot of arrows pointing where to go and tourist maps at intersections. Visiting this stone forest was an unforgettable experience. If compared to the other stone forests I have visited, this one have a magic grid, the feeling like you entered fairy tale forest, because of ubiquitous moss. Highly recommended to visit for true hiking lovers!
