1 day
About this activity
Meet with your tour guide at 08:00 from your hotel lobby. 90 minute drive to the Stone Forest.
The Stone Forrest is an UNESCO World Heritage site. Enjoy the spectacular view of the bizarre karst formations while listen to the folklore shared by your informative tour guide.
In the afternoon, visit beautiful caves in Jiuxiang, It is noted for its limestone caves, mountains, streams, deep valleys, minority customs and cultures. It consists of five major scenic spots: Diehong Bridge, Sanjiao Cave, Dasha Dam, Alulong, and Mingyue Lake. Wander freely to explore this wonder of nature.
Coach transfer back to Kunming and arrive at your hotel at about 18:00.
No tourist shop, no factory visit
You will not be asked to visit any gift shop opened for tourists, or visit any kind of factory.
Why? In the early years when communist China opened its door to the outside world in 1980's, foreign visitors were asked to visit some state-owned factories and Friendship Shops, because Chinese authority wanted to tell you that communism is better than capitalism. Later more and more factories and gift shops found out it was a good idea to sell products to tourists. Eventually many tourists decide that they have the right to say NO.
