Kunming is the capital and largest city of Yunnan province in southwest China. Kunming has long been regarded as one of Chinas most liveable cities. Known as the Spring City for its equable climate, it remains a very pleasant place to kic few days.
Today, enjoy your full day city tour starting from a visit to the Western Hill & Dragon Gate, located at the west bank of the Dianchi Lake of Kunming, is set in mountains well covered by evergreen woods and filled with sweet songs by lovely birds. And then continue your trip to Yuantong Temple, Green Lake Park, and Kunming Old Street.
After breakfast, drive about 1.5 hours to the Stone Forest in Shilin County. Weather and time have sculpted a massive karst labyrinth that feels like you are walking through a forest, with ancient stone trees looking down on you. Every rock formation you pass has its own touching story or thrilling legend, passed on by the natives who have lived in this area for ages. The natives belong to the Sani minority, a branch of the Yi ethnic minority, which you can still find inside the park, jamming together singing folk songs or making embroidery.
After lunch we'll transfer to visit the Jiuxiang Caves, part of the largest cave group system in China, with rivers, gorges, waterfalls, forests, natural stone bridges, and anything you image you would find in a fairyland. Entered the caves through narrow green canyon, you will see the entrance of the caves hidden inside the forests from above as you fly over it in the cable car. Thereafter, drive back to your hotel in Kunming.
You are free leisure today before transferred to airport or train station. Say goodbye to Kunming and continue your tour to next city.
