Visit the Earth's Epic Sculptor - A Trip Through Lijiang Stone Forest

#Mysterious Landform Adventure #Kunming is not the only place with Stone Forest #Lijiang Secret Attractions 📍Lijiang has more than just snow-capped mountains and ancient towns, there is also a geological world that makes you feel like you are walking into "The Lord of the Rings" or "Interstellar"—— 👉 Lijiang Stone Forest, a real creative art museum of nature! 🧭 Lijiang also has a Stone Forest? Don't get me wrong~ Many people hear "Stone Forest" and their first reaction is to think of Kunming's World Natural Heritage "Stone Forest Scenic Area", but did you know? In fact, in the Tai'an Township of Yulong County, Lijiang, there is also a little-known but super shocking "Karst Stone Forest Landform", which is also called "Little Stone Forest" by locals. Although the scale here is not as spectacular as Kunming Stone Forest, it is primitive, quiet, undisturbed, and full of "natural travel" atmosphere, which is super suitable for friends who want to take an adventure route + avoid crowds. 🔹 Three highlights, reasons why you will regret not seeing them: 1️⃣ The natural wonders of karst landforms After millions of years of weathering and water erosion, various stone pillars, stone peaks and cracks have been formed here. Each rock has its own "story face". Some look like giants, some look like castles, and some look like animal statues. It is basically a "natural geological sculpture exhibition"! 2️⃣ Surreal travel photography background There are wild grasses and mountain flowers between the stone forests, and the distant view is blue sky, white clouds and green trees. Standing in the cracks of the rocks to take portraits, the whole picture directly raises the Instagram quality index! It is recommended to wear white, red or ethnic style clothing to take the strongest contrast~📸🔥 3️⃣ The primitive charm of the uninhabited secret place This place has not been developed by a large number of tourists, and you can walk freely like an explorer. No need to queue or squeeze, every corner is a surprise. Sometimes you can see local shepherds passing by, as if you have strayed into a world forgotten by time.
