Kunming: Stone Forest (石林)

After our health screening at the village, we took a detour to the famed Stone Forest which was a little way down from the village...

It is quite amazing that these rock formations are totally natural! The formidable Eastern counterpart that puts the Stonehenge to shame, heheh. Very breath-taking indeed...

Close-up of the majestic rocks...

Squeezing through crevices of all shapes and sizes...

A window to another world...

According to our guide this twisted formation is said to bring luck on the love front for those who touch it... *wink*

The background looks almost like those fake pull-down scenery things in the photostudio don't you think?? :p

Tea demonstration... Yunnan is especially well-known for her Pu-Erh tea.

Cheers! :)
