Stone forest and Jiuxiang One Day Tour
Stone Forest Geopark is situated in Yunnan Province, which covers an area of 400km2 with karst geological landform as its main geological heritage. It is a karst geopark dominated by stone forest geomorphologic landscapes. In Late Paleozoic here witnessed littoral-offshore environment and deposited some thousand meters of limestone and dolomite, laying a foundation for forming the stone forest in the area. This piece of land was originally formed by late uplift of the crust and then were undergone multiphase corrosion by the both groundwater and surface water flowing through fractures in the rock, finally forming various types of composite stone forest geomorphologic landscapes. The first phase of stone forest was formed in the late period of Early Permian 250Ma ago, while the latest phase is being formed. In the history this area was covered by basalt and lacustrine clastic sediment, and undergone several phases of uplift and erosion. Under the special geological, climate and hydrologic conditions, multistage superimposed and well-stratified stone forests were inherited and developed.

Day 1 Kunming – Jiuxiang Karst Cave – Stone Forest – Kunming (Lunch)
In the morning, your private tour guide will meet you at your hotel in Kunming and begin your day trip to two of Yunnan’s most famous natural attractions.
Drive approximately 90 km from Kunming to Yiliang County, where you will visit Jiuxiang Karst Cave. Jiuxiang is renowned for its extensive network of underground caves, dramatic rock formations, underground rivers, and spectacular karst landscapes. Take an elevator down into the scenic area and explore the fascinating underground world, including impressive caverns, stalactites, and natural rock formations. After your visit, take the cable car back up and enjoy views of the surrounding karst landscape.
After lunch, continue by vehicle to the Stone Forest (Shilin), a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most remarkable karst landscapes in China. The vast scenic area is filled with towering limestone formations in a variety of unusual shapes, creating a spectacular natural “stone forest.” Follow the walking trails through the maze of stone peaks and discover some of the most distinctive formations in the park.
The Stone Forest is also home to the Sani people, a branch of the Yi ethnic group. During your visit, you can learn more about their traditional culture, customs, costumes, and local way of life.
In the late afternoon, drive back to Kunming. Your guide will transfer you to your hotel, bringing your Kunming day tour to an end.
