How a bout a stone forest?

#myhiddengems I’ve been to forests, jungles, tropical rainforests and then I found out about this place, a stone forest! It’s a big park filled with natural stone formations that makes one wonder about the history, how it was formed as there aren’t any caves or oceans nearby. It’s listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site. The park is located a short drive outside of Kunming city and a have to visit for young and old if you’re in the area! The park has a lot of walkways and a great picnic area. There are vendors selling snacks and soft drinks. #china #kunming #historicallandmarks #unesco #localguides #familytrip #trip #instatravel

The Stone Forest (石林) near Kunming is a remarkable geological formation. Aeons of sedementation, erosion and volcanic eruption have left sharp, jagged pillars of stone rather like trees, which rise singly and in groves over a large plain. Whether looking down from above or walking through cave-like passages between the rocks, marvel at the alien landscape nature's forces have left. I highly recommend bringing a picnic lunch, as there are no places to get food in or around the park aside from some expensive and unappetizing snacks. It's worth setting aside a whole day for Shilin, as the park is large and there are many different views. We travelled to Shilin Town by bus and stayed in a local hotel, but the park could also be visited as a day trip from Kunming, especially if you have a car. #leaveyourmark #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #stoneforest #石林 #kunming #yunnan #views #photography #geology #amazingplaces #naturalwonders
