Stone Forest Scenic Area

Located in Shilin Yi Autonomous County of Kunming, this 5A global geopark boasts vast clusters of towering grey limestone peaks shaped by ancient water erosion. The general entry ticket grants 3-day repeated access to five core zones including Great Stone Forest, Small Stone Forest and Liziyuan Valley, alongside the Karst Geological Museum. Rooted in Sani Yi minority culture, the scenic spot features the legendary Ashima stone formation and hosts traditional Yi folk performances. Mandatory intra-park sightseeing shuttle buses connect dispersed viewing areas across the vast parkland.
