Day 2 Kunming
A full day excursion takes you to the Stone Forest, one of the natural wonders of the area. The majestic and peculiar rocks in myriad forms seem rising above the ground and create a forest made of stone. It is one of the most famous karst landform attractions globally and has been hailed by international karst research experts as a "Natural Museum of Sculptural Landforms." The Stone Forest also serves as an important venue for local ethnic Yi People to celebrate the Torch Festival in memory of a legendary beautiful girl who sacrificed herself to love.
