What People Are Saying About Shilin

Stone Forest Scenic Area

avatar
不吃就是饿
The Stone Forest Scenic Area is world-famous for its majestic, strange, dangerous, beautiful and secluded landscape features, and is known as "the world's first wonder". It is the world's most famous karst landform tourist attraction and is called the "natural museum of shaped landforms" by international karst research experts.

It is worth a visit, but the sightseeing bus of the scenic spot is not set up in an aboveboard manner. It is a bit vulgar. The parking lot is set up three kilometers away from the gate of the scenic spot, and then you are forced to take the scenic sightseeing bus, which is of course charged! This is very mean!

Snow Park

qy云上
We drove there, it's not too far, parking is pretty cheap. I went there with my family, my son really liked playing here, there are a lot of new things, the most recommended one is Flying over Yunnan, it's very exciting, I took it twice, but the queue is too slow, I don't recommend the Jellyfish Express, it's very boring to stand for 10 minutes, you can try the tree house climbing, anyway, I was fearless at the time, I almost got hung halfway after climbing up, I was exhausted, I was in good spirits when playing other things, but after playing in the tree house, I felt exhausted, I will go there again next time, but I will never climb a tree house again

Jianfeng Lake

chaojile
Looking up, there is a ray of sky; looking down, there is a pool of water. This is the portrayal of Jianfeng Pond. Jianfeng Pond is shallowly hidden among a group of stone peaks and has a small area. This is the deepest and most mysterious place in the Big Stone Forest, and it is also the lowest point in the scenic area.

Qifeng Cave

avatar
刘闲人
Qifeng Cave is located 5 kilometers northwest of Shilin, between the strange peaks of Shilin on the east side of Ma'anshan at the junction of Beida Village and Shuitangpu Village. Qifeng Cave is the most peculiar one among the many caves in Lunan Shilin Scenic Area. It attracts attention because it can breathe like a human.

Yunnan Stone Forest Geological Park

欢乐随喜
Interesting attractions are: small stone forest, big stone forest, Zhiyundong, big stack waterfall, stone forest long lake. Karst landscape, composed of many tall lime karst columns. Its formation is mainly due to the pressure of limestone, in the vertical direction of more than two groups of cracks, in the plane of the rock divided into grid shape.

Moon Lake

牛奶海
Yuehu is located in the Shilin Scenic Area of Shilin Yi Nationality Autonomous County, Kunming, Yunnan. A beautiful small lake between Yuanda Shilin Scenic Area and Xiaoshilin Scenic Area is a good place to take pictures.

Naigu Stone Forest

M89***76
Located next to the main scenic spot of the stone forest in the five-A-level scenic spot, the brown and black stone forest has evolved from the sedimentary evolution of the karst landform for thousands of years, and has become an ancient stone forest in the Yi language. Although this place is not as large as the main scenic stone forest, the scenery is very quiet, and there is a spectacular Persian chrysanthemum sea. Every time the National Day is blooming, the ticket price is conscience, and the full score is praised!

Stone Forest Hot Springs

avatar
M25***31
Life needs a time limit, so that you won't be bored. Soak away your fatigue and worries, live a simple and warm life, we are all heading for a better future, soaking in the hot springs under the starry sky is a special experience. While the sun is shining and the breeze is not noisy, come to the Stone Sea Hot Spring Resort Hotel with your loved one, and see that everything is lovely and beautiful (•‾̑⌣‾̑•)✧˖

Keyi Town And Ancient Village

avatar
M44***63
Keyu Village is located 22 kilometers away from Maitreya County, and is a settlement for the Yi people of the Yi branch. This is one of the birthplaces of the famous Yi song and dance "Axie Jumping Moon". It is worth a visit, calm down, stroll slowly, and feel it.
