🪨Stone Forest, Kunming – A Surreal Masterpiece of Nature!

#chinatravel At first, we didn’t expect much from the “Stone Forest,” but once there, we were completely amazed! This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a geological wonder where towering stone pillars rise dramatically from the earth—each with unique, otherworldly shapes that feel straight out of a fantasy realm. Wander through winding paths, secret alleys, and narrow stone corridors like a natural maze—perfect for kids and adventurers alike. A highlight of the visit is the legendary statue of “Ashima” (阿诗玛), the iconic Yi heroine, standing gracefully under the sun. The entire landscape is so photogenic and immersive, you’ll find yourself walking for hours and still wanting more. One visit simply isn’t enough! #travel #trip #china #staycation #thingstodo #myitinerary
