[🇨🇳Kunming] Have an amazing experience at the natural stone labyrinth "Stone Forest"

A work of art created by nature Located about an hour and a half by car from Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province, Shilin is known as one of China's most natural wonders. Thousands of limestone rocks stand like a forest in the area, and its magnificent scenery has earned it the nickname "the greatest wonder in the world." This terrain, formed by tens of millions of years of crustal movement and erosion, is a precious place where you can feel the history of the earth. Maze-like walking trails and legends There are several walking trails in Shilin, and you can enjoy the mysterious terrain and natural sculptures of the rocks while walking among the maze-like intricate rock formations. Among them is a legend of an ethnic minority group surrounding a beautiful stone statue of a woman named "Ashima," and visiting with a guide will give you a deeper understanding of the cultural background. Experience the culture of the Yi ethnic minority group The area where Shilin is located is also famous as the residence of the Yi ethnic minority group. There are people dressed in traditional costumes and performances of music and dance unique to the Yi people, so it is not just a natural tourist spot, but also a cultural element to enjoy. Access and recommended time slots You can take a day trip from Kunming city by bus or car, but to fully enjoy the vast site, it is recommended to visit early in the morning. The rocks are especially beautiful in the soft light of the morning, and are perfect for photography. The stone forest allows you to experience the overwhelming scale of nature. If you visit Kunming, be sure to visit it. #KunmingTrip #China'sBeautifulScenery #StoneForest #YunnanTourism #EthnicMinorityCulture #MiracleOfNature #Let'sGoToChina
