Detailed Itinerary with Kunming Day Trip Tour Guide
1. Yunnan Stone Forest Geological Park – Explore the “First Wonder of the World” with Your Kunming Day Trip Tour Guide
Your Kunming day trip tour guide will meet you at the lobby of your Kunming hotel on time. The drive to Yunnan Stone Forest Geological Park takes about 1.5 hours, during which your Kunming day trip tour guide will share interesting stories about the formation of the Stone Forest and local legends, so feel free to ask any questions. As the representative of South China’s karst landscape, the Stone Forest has been hailed as the “First Wonder of the World” since the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Formed about 270 million years ago during the Carboniferous Period of the Paleozoic Era, this once-vast sea area evolved into the current spectacular limestone landscape through crustal movements and long-term erosion by wind and rain. Upon arrival, your Kunming day trip tour guide will lead you to explore the Big Stone Forest Area and the Small Stone Forest Area—two core scenic spots of the park. With the guidance of your Kunming day trip tour guide, you’ll use your imagination to spot various stone shapes (like animals, figures) and visit the most photogenic locations. You’ll spend 2 hours here, fully appreciating this natural treasure gallery.
2. Chengzi Ancient Town – Immerse in Ethnic Culture with Your Kunming Day Trip Tour Guide
After visiting the Stone Forest, your Kunming day trip tour guide will take you to Chengzi Ancient Town. Upon arrival, we’ll first enjoy a local-style lunch (arranged by your tour guide) to recharge. Chengzi Ancient Town is a peaceful village inhabited by the Yi, Han, and Miao ethnic groups, boasting the best-preserved Tuzhang house clusters in Southwest China—over 1,000 houses with a history of more than 600 years, hence its reputation as the “Living Fossil of Residential Architecture.” Under the leadership of your Kunming day trip tour guide, you’ll stroll around the ancient village, admire the unique Tuzhang houses that combine Yi and Han architectural styles, learn about the rich culture and history of the Yi people, and even have the chance to watch or join local farmers in their daily work. Your Kunming day trip tour guide will adjust the pace according to your needs, allowing you to freely communicate with local villagers, take photos of the ancient lanes and courtyards, and feel the simplicity and warmth of rural life. After the tour, your Kunming day trip tour guide will escort you back to your Kunming hotel safely, concluding your wonderful one-day trip.
