Next to Kunming, a Lost Giant Man-Made Tree Stump

Exploring Around Kunming's Delianya|Hidden "Alien Tree Stump"? 🌳🛸 While staying at Delianya Hotel, a local friend recommended this ultra-niche spot—just a 20-minute drive from the hotel, hidden in the suburbs: a "giant man-made tree stump." The first sight was truly shocking! From afar, it looks like an abandoned colossal tree trunk, but up close, you realize it's an "art installation" made of concrete and steel, with surfaces mimicking tree bark textures, crisscrossed with grooves, and dotted with circular holes resembling cut sections of a stump. Climb up and stand inside the "tree heart"—looking up, you'll see the sky fragmented through the holes, and when the wind blows, it creates an eerie whistling sound, giving off an inexplicable "alien relic" vibe. The area is quiet, with only weeds and a few real trees as companions. Sunlight filters through the holes, casting shifting patterns on the ground, and photos taken here naturally have a retro film aesthetic. Wearing dark clothes under the stump or peeking out from the holes amps up the atmosphere! ⚠️ Heads up: The spot is quite remote, so taking a taxi or driving is recommended. There's no shade around, so bring a hat for sun protection on sunny days. Staying at Delianya Hotel and want to avoid crowds? This "lost tree stump" is totally worth the trip—it feels like stepping into another world!
