    "The cliffs in the Stone Forest are truly amazing in their natural beauty which is still preserved. it's better to come in the morning and avoid coming too late because it's dark here at night"
    Shilin
    66.6km from downtown
    Highlights: The Stone Forest is one of Kunming’s must-see sites. Boasting a classic karst topography, the Stone Forest is full of rocky peaks, jagged rocky outcroppings, water caves, and underground rivers. The Stone Forest is centered around the Major Stone Forest and Minor Stone Forest scenic areas. The Minor Stone Forest is thick with outcroppings of rocky peaks, and the Ashima Stone stands here, named after the legendary Yi maiden who turned into the stone when she was forbidden to marry the one she loved. At the Major Stone Forest scenic area, visitors can enjoy the reflection of the Stone Forest in the Lion Pool, or take a boat ride on the Stone Forest Lake.

    "It was good to play, and I saw the elephant. It was not like Douyin Tucao. We watched every performance, and our ticket for the battery car was bought by 3 people with a baby in a car. Uncle Li was very good. Handsome and caring. Also intimately gave us a stroller. All the way to explain to us, even the tour guide saved. I watched 5 performances in the circle, and the baby also fed the elephant. Mrs. is great. Take the child to save worry and effort. Awesome 👍🏻 is not like Douyin Tucao at all. Really, I found that Douyin's recommendations are not fully believed."

    "We went up from the Haitang Park cableway. The volunteer service was very good. The explanation was clear. The scenery of Xishan was good. It took time and effort to take the cableway up the mountain. Longmen is beautiful to see Dianchi Lake. Huating Temple is worth seeing. Another temple does not know why the driver did not stop."
