Shilin Stone Forest Park

Shilin Stone Forest lies about 100 km east of Kunming and is a one day trip.

The Park is a labyrinth of grey limestone towers reaching heights of some 30 metres.

It has been known since the days of the Ming Dynasty ( 1368-1644 A.D. ) as the " First Wonder of the World ".

Walkways meander through the weird rock formations.

Sani tribespeople from nearby villages sell handicrafts and offer their services as guides.
