On our second day (15 Apr 2017) we left at8 amfor the Stone Forest located about 90 km southeast of Kunming. It took about an hour plus to reach our destination. The Stone Forest, as the name suggested is a forest of over a thousand limestone stalamites looking like petrified trees. There are many different shapes of karst landscape formed naturally due to millions of years'movement of earth. It is scenic World Natural Heritage. We walked and hiked the various landforms over almost 2 hours. A fantastic picturesque geological transformation. There are slopes as steep as almost verical and gaps between two cliffs of less than 20 inches wide. One needs to be fit and slim to go through these obstacles. There are other easier paths or routes to venture through the Stone Forest and still could enjoy the wonder of nature. We took the difficult path under the guidance of our guide Miss Ching from China Highlights.

It is always full of people especially the tour. The entrance fee is high, you can take photos with the stone. Nothing special.
