• Yunnan Stone Forest Geological Park - An English-speaking guide and private car will meet you in your hotel lobby. The journey to Yunnan Stone Forest Geological Park takes approximately 1.5 hours. During the drive, the guide will share fascinating stories, and you are welcome to ask any questions. The Yunnan Stone Forest, also known as Kunming Stone Forest, is a stunning collection of limestone formations and a prime example of South China’s karst landscape. Since the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), it has been hailed as the ‘First Wonder of the World’. Around 270 million years ago, during the Carboniferous period of the Paleozoic era, this area was a vast sea. Over time, tectonic movements caused the sea to recede, giving rise to the limestone formations. Continuous erosion by natural elements has shaped the landscape into its current form. The park is a vast natural treasure trove. Upon arrival, follow your guide to explore the park and use your imagination to uncover its wonders. The guide will share legendary tales and point out the best photo spots. You will spend 2 hours visiting both the Big Stone Forest Area and the Small Stone Forest Area.
• Dian Lake (Dian Chi) - After enjoying lunch at a local restaurant, head directly to Dian Lake. It is the largest freshwater lake in Yunnan Province and the sixth largest in China. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the lake offers stunning natural scenery. Follow your guide for a leisurely walk around the park, taking in the beautiful views and observing the birds in flight.
• Kunming West Hill (Xishan Forest Park) - Next, take a convenient cable car ride to explore West Hill. Known for its lush flowers and dense forest, West Hill offers a serene environment and breathtaking views. It is renowned for having one of the most pleasant environments in the world.
• Kunming Dragon Gate - The first stop is the Dragon Gate, where you can enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of Dian Lake and Kunming City.
• Sanqing Pavilion - Continue to Sanqing Pavilion, which is perched on a cliff and resembles a ‘castle in the air’. Wander through the temple’s halls and courtyards, learn about the history of Taoism in China, and enjoy the stunning panoramic views of Dianchi Lake.
• Taihua Temple - Depending on your schedule and interests, you may choose to visit Taihua Temple. Originally constructed during the Yuan Dynasty (1206 - 1368), it is the oldest temple in the Western Hills and is renowned for its rare and beautiful flowers.
• Huating Temple - Spend some leisure time exploring the Dragon Gate area, then descend via the ski lift. Take the battery bus provided by the attraction to visit Huating Temple. Inside, you will find three golden Buddha statues with serene expressions, 500 lifelike arhats that appear almost real, and golden figures of the Laughing Buddha. Additionally, there are numerous colored clay figures vividly depicting various mythical animals.
