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
