Kunming Stone Forest | Little Stone Forest

❥ The Little Stone Forest is one of the main attractions of the Kunming Stone Forest Scenic Area, also known as the Ashima Scenic Area. It is the birthplace of the Ashima story, and the famous Ashima stands here. The Little Stone Forest is regarded by the local Yi people as the incarnation of Ashima. The Yi people's reverence for nature is just like their worship of the goddess Ashima, and they hold great awe for this stone forest. ❥ In the midst of a dense cluster of peaks, you can reach the Little Stone Forest along the scenic path. The Ashima stone stands tall here, with the majestic forest transforming into the figure of a graceful Yi girl named Ashima. This stone records the legend of Ashima and her brother Ahei. The Ashima stone statue, the most famous attraction in the Little Stone Forest scenic area, is a natural weathered figure that is exquisitely lifelike and vivid. It is as if the 'Ashima' girl is wearing a towel on her head, jewelry on her chest, and carrying a large basket full of fruit on her back, walking forward with her head held high and chest out. ❥ The stone peaks stand quietly, and the solid stone walls act like screens, dividing the Little Stone Forest into several areas, resembling a beautiful small garden. The sharp rocks and dense greenery depend on each other, exquisite and delicate, wild and handsome. Compared to the dense Big Stone Forest, the nearby Little Stone Forest appears more open, elegant, and graceful. ➠ Geographic location: Inside the Kunming Stone Forest Scenic Area.
