A unique landscape - and if you venture off the main tourist paths, you can truly see no-one and feel like you're alone when in reality there are thousands of people there. Well worth a visit - the children loved exploring. You have to put up with the usual nonsense of having to queue at different counters for adult and...

Fantastic rock formations dating back over 270 million years. Beautiful gardens and peaceful. Lots of small areas to relax and enjoy the beauty. A very small area of this historical place has been uncovered

A nice day out, especially with nice weather. Quite a lot tourists. Though pretty easy to escape if you just dig into the stows and narrow hikes and stairs through those little mountains.

We stopped in Kunming for the sole purpose of seeing these truly amazing karst formations, located about 1.5 hours outside of Kunming. Everyone in our group was glad that we made the trip, as this park was incredible. Plan for several hours of walking around and bring an umbrella/sunscreen depending on the time of year.

A spectacular bit of nature , a bit less appreciated by the number of Chinese tourists there. Arrangements to get around first class, even the 5 star toilets were a sight unexpected but overall very glad that they put that on my list of things t do.

one of the main attractions in Kunming. Magnificent stone structures. As in every in China, entrance fee is exorbitant.

The stone forest is beautiful, but very crowded and a little commercial. Recommendations: 1. Wear comfortable shoes and take water . 2. Take one of electric cars next from the ticket office ( about 3 km to park). 3. Bring an umbrella you will need for rain or sun.
