Don’t be fooled by the crowded entrance

When you arrive at the park it’s likely you’ll see crowds of tourist groups gathering up. Don’t let this put you off. Once you get into the park and onto the trails you’ll find plenty of time to be alone with the stones. They will recommend you buy a bus ticket for an extra 25 rmb to get you to and from the ticket booth to the entrance of the park since it’s a bit of a walk. You can drive straight from Kunming or stay in a local hotel near the stone forest for convenience. If you plan on more than one day I’d recommend staying locally. I found this park to be incredibly beautiful and could have spend days walking here. #stoneforest #kunming #kunmingtravel #summervacation #summertrip #china #chinatravel

Stone Forest Scenic Area

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
