Jiuxiang is located at Yiliang County in Yunnan Province; and though together with the renowned Stone Forest it is a vertical landscape of the karstic topography, the karst caves there are of its most characteristic feature. Numbering over a hundred in total, the caves in Jiuxiang are huge in scale and large in quantities; hailed as a "Museum of Karst Caves", it is a must-see tourist attraction outside of Kunming. The main tourism sites include Yincuixia (the Valley of Shadowy Greenery), Jinghunxia (the Valley of Freightend Soul), Xiongshiting (the Lion Hall), Cixiong Feipu (the Waterfall of Androgyny), Shentian (the Heavenly Field), etc.

Stone Forest Scenic Area

8.7

4.7/5

18.9k reviews

Stone Forest Scenic Area is located in Shilin County, Kunming, and is one of Kunming's key attractions. Stone Forest Scenic Area is a typical karst landscape, with stone peaks, stone buds, sinkholes, and underground rivers everywhere. The peak forest transforms into various forms—sword-shaped, tower-shaped, mushroom-shaped, and more—bizarre and magnificent. The entire scenic area consists of the Major and Minor Stone Forest, Naigu Stone Forest, Dadieshui, Changhu, and other sections. These sections are relatively scattered, and regular tours are mainly concentrated in the Major and Minor Stone Forest area. The Major and Minor Stone Forests are located in the same area. Walk along the path for 20 minutes, and on your left is the smaller Minor Stone Forest Scenic Area with relatively gentle stone peaks. Amid a dense cluster of peaks stands the famous Ashima Rock, where the towering peak forest transforms into a graceful Yi girl named Ashima, as if beckoning to you. This is a favorite spot for visitors to take photos. Besides the pretty Ashima, the Minor Stone Forest area also features views such as Shenjun and Cushi Qingtian, each with its own distinct shape. This is a test of your imagination. If your imagination is not vivid enough, it is recommended to hire a guide, under whose guidance you will gain a whole new understanding of the peak forest before your eyes. As you slowly drive along the highway, the roadside unfolds in turn with Tang Monk Rock, Stone Prison, Phoenix Preening Its Feathers, Lingzhi Rock, and more—each vividly lifelike and exquisitely true to form, displaying the wondrous craftsmanship of nature to you in all manner of poses. Walking along the passageway, you will unexpectedly arrive at the Major Stone Forest area. After passing such wonders as "Two Birds Feeding Each Other," "Rhinoceros Gazing at the Moon," "Lotus Peak," "Stone Forest Wonderland," and "Stone Screen," you may be feeling a bit tired. Taking a short rest at Lion Pavilion and admiring the reflection of the peak forest in Lion Pond across the way is a serene pleasure in itself. After seeing so many peak forests, it is only natural to feel some aesthetic fatigue. It is time to enjoy the water scenery. Board a cruise on Stone Forest Lake and drift across the water, where mountain scenery and lake views come together in one place, and all your stress and worries simply melt away. Naigu Stone Forest, also known as New Stone Forest or Mozhai Stone Forest, is composed of the Stone Forest Scenic Area, Baiyun Lake, Shifeng Mountain, and Yougu Xianpu Waterfall. Compared with the Major and Minor Stone Forests, this place presents another style. The peak forest here is overall grayish-black, with tall and densely packed stone pillars in castle, tower, and mushroom shapes. The simple and rugged grotesque rocks surge skyward like waves with magnificent momentum. Strolling through the black peak forest feels like entering a wild and primitive world.

Jiuxiang Karst Caves

5.1

4.8/5

26 reviews

Jiuxiang Karst Cavesare home to hundreds of large and small caves clustered along both banks of the river. The caves here developed within siliceous limestone formed by sedimentation in the Sinian ocean approx. 600 million years ago, and the rock layers still retain stromatolite fossils formed by layers of ancient marine microorganisms; subsequent intermittent crustal uplift has given the cave group a rare, three-dimensional, multi-layered structure. It is densely packed with sedimentary views such as stalactites, while the lower levels often feature underground rivers. Partial collapse of the cave roofs has created underground canyons and natural bridges, with caves, canyons, underground rivers, and waterfalls unfolding layer by layer within the same mountain.

Minor Stone Forest - Ashima

4.6/5

Minor Stone Forest - Ashima is a representative view within the Minor Stone Forest peak cluster. It is primarily composed of naturally formed karst peaks, stone pillars, and peak clusters, where long-term geological processes have shaped the rocks into a diverse stone forest view with varying heights and unique forms. "Ashima" is one of the most recognizable figurative rocks here. Its silhouette is said to resemble a graceful Yi woman in traditional ethnic attire, hence the name. It is not only a natural stone view of the Minor Stone Forest but also closely linked to the Sani Yi people's narrative poem "Ashima" and related ethnic culture.

Jianfeng Pond is located in Shilin Town, Shilin Yi Autonomous County, Yunnan Province. It is a pond under the Lotus Peak. There is a curved bridge on the pond that winds above the water and meanders between the stone peaks. The water is clear and bright, and the sky, clouds, and peaks all fall into the pond. There is a collapsed stone peak by the pond, shaped like a sharp sword, with the sword body exposed above the water and the hilt submerged in the water. Unfortunately, the sword has been broken, but the tip of the sword can still be vaguely seen on the water surface, as if waiting for a peerless sword-making master to bring it out of the water, recast the sword body, and pierce the sky again.

Dianchi Lake

4.7/5

Dianchi Lake, also known as Kunming Lake, is the sixth-largest freshwater lake in China. Its expansive and magnificent surface has earned it the reputation of "five hundred li of Dianchi Lake" since ancient times. As one of the larger plateau lakes in Yunnan Province, Dianchi Lake is surrounded by numerous waterfront parks and wetlands, making it an unmissable stop when visiting Kunming. Every winter, large flocks of black-headed gulls fly all the way from Siberia to Dianchi Lake to spend the winter. This spectacle has occurred faithfully every year since 1985, and feeding the black-headed gulls along the lakeshore has become a highly popular winter experience in Kunming. Strolling along the sightseeing road on the east bank of Dianchi Lake is a great way to experience the lake up close. On one side is the vast, misty expanse of water, with the Western Hills stretching across the distance; in winter, the sightseeing road is especially lively, as residents and visitors alike stop by the lakeside to interact with the black-headed gulls. For a different perspective, you can take the cableway from the lakeside to Dragon Gate in the Western Hills and look down from above, taking in the entire Dianchi Lake at a glance. In the Caohai area at the northern end, you can also take a boat out on the lake and experience its vastness from the water. In recent years, through sustained governance, the water quality and lakeside ecology of Dianchi Lake have gradually improved, the wetland views along the lake are also continuously being restored, and the sightseeing environment has been significantly enhanced compared to the past.

Yunnan Provincial Museum

7.9

4.8/5

2.2k reviews

The Yunnan Provincial Museum is a comprehensive museum showcasing Yunnan's history and ethnic culture, housing over 200,000 cultural relics (sets), with strengths in ancient Dian Kingdom bronzeware, Nanzhao and Dali Kingdom Buddhist statues, and historical calligraphy and paintings. The building itself is distinctive: its reddish-brown exterior is composed of irregular stone prism shapes, resembling a stone forest rising from the ground, making it memorable even before entering the exhibition halls. The permanent exhibition follows a chronological sequence, with six themed halls—"Ancient Yunnan," "Dawn of civilization," "Dominance in southern China," "Land of fragrant Buddhism," "Frontier expansion and defense," and "A century of upheaval"—taking visitors from prehistoric times to the modern era, offering a condensed overview of Yunnan's history. Located in a multi-ethnic border region, the artifacts here differ markedly from those in inland museums: bronzeware depicts vivid scenes of animal combat, rituals, and warfare, while the Dian Kingdom's unique shell containers resemble lidded bronze "piggy banks." The Buddhist statues bear the distinct regional style of the Nanzhao and Dali Kingdoms, warranting closer attention. The museum's crown jewels deserve dedicated viewing time: the Warring States period bronze ox-tiger table, unearthed from the Lijiashan tombs in Jiangchuan, features a small ox hidden beneath a large ox and a fierce tiger biting the ox's tail, earning the saying "In the north, there's the galloping horse treading on a flying swallow; in the south, there's the ox-tiger bronze table." The Dali Kingdom gilded Avalokitesvara statue with silver halo from the Qianxun Pagoda of Chongsheng Temple in Dali has a unique golden form. Other treasures include Song Dynasty Guo Xi's "Travelers among mountains and streams," Yuan Dynasty Huang Gongwang's "Visiting Dai in Shanxi," and the Ming Dynasty gem-inlaid golden crown. After the visit, you can stop by the nearby Guandu ancient town, making it possible to explore both sites in a day.

Yincui Gorge is located in Jiuxiang, Yiling. The two walls are stalactites hanging in a staggered pattern. The whole gorge is 1,000 meters long. It is a place where you can linger while boating. The two steep cliffs stand on the green; the spring water in the river meanders through the deep mountains and dense forests. The water is gurgling, the oars are melodious, and the water in the gorge is a beautiful pink-blue color, which dyes the reflections of tourists green, and also reflects the blue sky like a tent and the white clouds like a boat.

The Stone Forest of Yunnan is a symbol of Yunnan. Stepping into the Stone Forest, one is greeted by jagged peaks rising abruptly from the ground, a masterpiece of karst landforms sculpted over millions of years. Wandering among the crevices, one can seek out the legend of Ashima. The uniquely shaped peaks offer breathtaking views at every turn, allowing one to fully appreciate the wonders of nature.

The Jiuxiang Caves were one of the most surprising parts of our Kunming trip. We didn’t expect them to be this massive — waterfalls inside the cave, rivers, and bridges connecting glowing chambers. The lighting highlights the natural textures without feeling too artificial, and some corners really felt like a dream world.There was even a peaceful boat ride along an underground river, which gave us a break before walking the rest of the route. It’s a bit outside the city, but 100% worth the effort.💡 Tip: Wear shoes with good grip. The cave is cool, damp, and full of stairs. The path is long

Here, the sparse yet vibrant stone peaks are a highlight, the most striking being the Ashima Stone—a rock pillar resembling a beautiful maiden from Yi folklore. At dusk, when the colorful lights illuminate the landscape, the stone formations are bathed in a kaleidoscope of colors, creating a scene of breathtaking beauty! The lake reflects the stone shadows, the grasslands stretch endlessly, and the vegetation is abundant, the air so pure it feels like natural oxygen. Strolling through this area, the tranquility and mystery are captivating, as if stepping into a living garden painting. Note: It's recommended to visit in the evening for better photos under the lights; remember to wear comfortable shoes to explore the stone paths.

Pleasant place to visit. The area is big and is not overcrowded when we visit. Wandering in a sea of pink. Lots of picture opportunities.

Jianfeng Pool is a particularly beautiful place, with water and rocks, making it perfect for taking photos. You can walk around the entire pool. It's also quite interesting, with its winding and meandering paths.

Standing on the lakeshore, one can see a breathtaking panorama of clear water, blue sky, and soaring birds, all blending seamlessly into a harmonious scene that soothes and calms the soul. Every autumn and winter, the arrival of red-billed gulls from across the mountains and seas creates a unique and romantic spectacle at Dianchi Lake. There's no need to chase after the scenery; simply stroll along the lakeside, watch the gulls dance, and listen to the interplay of wind and their calls.

What does it feel like to drift in a deep canyon? In Kunming, a city of spring all year round, there is actually such a canyon. It is really a place with lush greenery that makes you linger and forget to leave. It is worth the trip.
