Super cool stone forest in Kunming

This huge stone forest in Kunming is worth a visit to explore all the cool rock formations! There are rocks which look like people, birds and other things, and some twisting together in interesting shapes. One is called “A thread of sky”, with many sharp formations converging together to reveal a little bit of sunlight through the top. The Major Stone Forest is much nicer than the Minor one though in my opinion, and definitely should walk inside it for a better look, not just the outside. #yunnan #travel #kunming

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
