Karst Wonders Check-in Guide

Detailed Explanation of Must-Visit Areas The Stone Forest Scenic Area is vast, mainly divided into four regions: the Large and Small Stone Forest, Pushao Mountain, Liziyuanqing, and Wannian Lingzhi. The core and must-visit area is the Large and Small Stone Forest. 1. Large Stone Forest — Giant Stone Maze, Majestic and Grand This is the main scenic area of the Stone Forest, resembling a huge stone maze. · Check-in Spot 1: Stone Forest Scenic View (the most classic cover photo) · Location: Visible shortly after entering the Large Stone Forest. · Highlight: The giant stones inscribed with the characters "Stone Forest" are the first photo for almost all visitors. The stone peaks behind complement the inscription perfectly and symbolize the Stone Forest. · Photo Tip: Visit early or late to avoid peak crowds. Try shooting from a low angle to emphasize the grandeur of the stone peaks. · Check-in Spot 2: Knife Mountain and Fire Sea · Highlight: A cluster of sharp, blade-like stone pillars, very unique and great for dynamic photos. · Check-in Spot 3: Extremely Narrow Passage · Highlight: A narrow passage between two stone peaks that only allows one person to pass sideways, offering a very immersive and fun check-in experience. 2. Small Stone Forest — Delicate and Beautiful, Searching for Ashima Compared to the grandeur of the Large Stone Forest, the Small Stone Forest is more delicate and open. · Check-in Spot 4: Ashima Transformed into Stone (must-visit) · Location: By the Yuniang Pond in the Small Stone Forest area. · Highlight: From a distance, it looks like a Sani girl carrying a basket on her back—this is the famous "Ashima." This spot is the cultural and legendary core of the entire Stone Forest, so be sure to listen to the guide or read the information board. · Photo Tip: Take photos of the reflection from the opposite side of the lake for the best scenery. You can also pose imitating Ashima for a photo. 3. Pushao Mountain & Liziyuanqing — Climb High and Look Far, Explore the Wilderness If you have enough time or enjoy hiking, come here. · Check-in Spot 5: Pushao Mountain Summit · Highlight: This is the highest point of the Stone Forest, offering a panoramic view of the entire Large Stone Forest, very spectacular. · Check-in Spot 6: Liziyuanqing · Highlight: Relatively more primitive and secluded, with even more bizarre stone shapes, as if you are in an ancient wilderness.
