The Stone Forest

There are many tourist attractions in Kunming. The West Mountain of Kunming is like a sleeping beauty and lying on the top of the Dianchi Lake. The long view of the Daguan Upstairs describes the magnificent feeling of the 500-mile Dianchi Lake. The statue of Chen Yuanyuan in the Golden Temple stands in the heart of the lake. After centuries of vicissitudes, things have changed.

The main geological relics of Stone Forest World Geopark are karst geological features, which are karst geological parks dominated by stone forest landscapes. The stone forest preserves and displays the most diverse karst forms. The tall limestone columns such as sword, column, mushroom and tower are typical representatives of the stone forest. In addition, there are caves, stalactites, dissolved lakes, natural bridges, cliff waterfalls, cone-shaped peaks, etc., almost all the karst forms in the world are concentrated here, forming a panoramic view of karst geological features.
