• Yunnan Stone Forest Geological Park - An English-speaking guide and private car will meet you in your hotel lobby. The journey to Yunnan Stone Forest Geological Park takes approximately 1.5 hours. During the drive, the tour guide will share fascinating stories, and you are welcome to ask any questions.

Yunnan Stone Forest Geological Park, also known as Kunming Stone Forest, is a breathtaking collection of limestone formations and a prime example of South China’s karst landscape. Since the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), it has been hailed as the ‘First Wonder of the World.’ Around 270 million years ago, during the Carboniferous period of the Paleozoic era, the area was a vast sea. Over time, tectonic movements caused the sea to recede, giving rise to the limestone formations. Continuous erosion by natural elements has shaped the landscape into its current form. The park is a vast natural treasure trove. Upon arrival, follow your guide to explore the park and use your imagination to uncover its wonders. Your guide will share legendary tales and point out the best spots for photos. You will spend 2-3 hours visiting both the Big Stone Forest Area and the Small Stone Forest Area.

• Naigu Stone Forest - A short drive will bring you to Naigu Stone Forest. This 30-square-kilometer scenic area is renowned as a natural museum of karst formations. The term “naigu” means “ancient and black” in the Yi ethnic language, aptly describing the dark limestone formations that date back about 270 million years. Unlike the sword-shaped stones of Yunnan Stone Forest Park, Naigu Stone Forest features robust stone columns resembling animals, figures, towers, and blockhouses.

Spend 1-2 hours exploring the park with your guide. Afterwards, enjoy a traditional Yi-style lunch at a local restaurant before returning to Kunming city.
