After breakfast, drive to the famous Stone Forest. Located in Lunan Yi Nationality Autonomous County, the Stone Forest is about 120 kilometers (75 miles) from Kunming. It covers an area of 400 square kilometers (96,000 acres). The Stone Forest is divided into several scenic areas with names like "Greater Stone Forest", "Lesser Stone Forest", "Outer Stone Forest", "Underground Stone Forest", "Stone Forest Lake", and "Da Die Shui Fall". The Stone Forest was formed by karst (a sort of land formation caused by dissolved soluble rocks like limestone) two million to thirty million years ago. It contains peaks, pillars, stalagmites, depressions, underground rivers, and caves. The incredible stone pinnacles rising from the ground resemble a huge, dense forest, hence the name. Visitors are awed by this natural wonder.
A local Chinese meal will be served for lunch.
In the afternoon, the tour continues at the famous scenic area of Jiuxiang. The exceptional scenery includes the caves, mountains, rivers, waterfalls, and deep valleys. With over 100 caves, many showcasing the karst formations, it is also known as the “Museum of Karst Caves”. If time permits, you will visit the highlights of this scenic area including the Yin Cui Xia (Shaded Jade Gorge), White Elephant Cave, Goddess Palace, Lying Dragon Cave, and the Bat Cave. A cable car ride is included for incredible views of this scenic area.
You will be driven back to your hotel at the end of this incredible tour.
