Stone Forest Scenic Area

avatar
不吃就是饿
The stone forest scenic area is famous for its beautiful, beautiful, beautiful and secluded landscape features, and has the reputation of "the first wonder in the world". It is the world's most famous karst landform tourist attraction, which is called the "natural museum of shape landform" by international karst research experts.

It is worth a look, but the sightseeing car in the scenic spot is not above-ground, it is a bit cumbersome, set the parking lot at the gate of the scenic spot three kilometers, and then force you to take the scenic sightseeing car, of course, it is charged! This is a small person!

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

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
The interesting attractions include: Small Stone Forest, Big Stone Forest, Zhiyun Cave, Da Dieshui Waterfall, and Stone Forest Long Lake. Karst landform is composed of many tall limestone columns. Its formation is mainly because the limestone is squeezed by force, which produces more than two groups of cracks in the vertical direction, dividing the rock into a grid on the plane.

Moon Lake

Yuehu Lake is located in the Stone Forest Scenic Area in Shilin Yi Autonomous County, Kunming, Yunnan. It is a beautiful small lake between the Yuanda Stone Forest Scenic Area and the Xiaoshilin Scenic Area and is a good place for taking photos.

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.
