Day 2 Kunming
Today your Kunming city tour continues to Shilin Yi Autonomous County, where the renowned Stone Forest is located. After about two hours driving, we will reach this large site. The Stone Forest is a set of limestone formations, most are in the shape of stalagmites, looking like a forest made of stone. You must be curious to know how those formations were made. Once upon a time, this area was a vast sea. After millions of years’ accumulation and erosion, the limestone was shaped and uplifted until the water was drained. The magic Stone Forest is like a maze, but our guide will navigate you through it.
After lunch, we will show you the Golden Temple, located on top of Mingfeng Hill, about 5 miles from the downtown. It is a Taoist temple and the largest copper temple in China. You will climb up on a series of winding stone steps and pass through three heavenly gates and then finally arrive at the Golden Temple. The hillside around the Golden Temple abounds with many sorts of trees and flowers, most of which are Camellias
