We have heard of Yunnan of China for long. Finally, my husband and I took part in a Private Day Tours held by china travel depot.

What surprised me first when we arrived at Kunming was the airport is so near to the urban area that it only took about 10 minutes for us to get to the downtown by bus. After checking in, we were free of any activities as our travel agency arranged.

At about 08:00 o’clock in the next morning, our guide picked us to visit Stone Forest. The first sight I saw is Ashima Statue which was molded life-like as what the story says. Leaving it, we walked along the narrow path aside, went through several narrow gaps, and finally came to an open space surrounded by huge stones and green trees. I couldn’t help to lie down on the green grass under the blue sky and white cloud. Walking through the small stone forest, we arrived at the big stone forest area which is the true stone forest I read on the internet. There are tens of thousands of stone posts and peaks standing side by side, but each of them is with its unique feature. What extraordinary workmanship of nature!

Then we visited the Dragon Gate on West Hill and had lunch there. It’s a perfect journey!!!
