Stone Forest, Sani Villages, Flowers and Birds Market

You will be picked up from the hotel after breakfast around 8:30 am, and then it will take about 2 hours to drive you to Stone Forest. The stone forest is around 90km to the south of Kunming. Due to a process of weathering and erosion, nature has created an art gallery of stone sculpture there. The stone forest is marveled by numerous stone peaks with various sizes and shapes. Hence it is the reason that this magnificent scene has earned its name as the "First Wonder Under Heaven". This area is also home to Ashima. Ashima is a name appointed to unmarried young girls of Sani who is one branch of Chinese Yi ethnic minority. After lunch, you will walk into Sani Villages with your guide. The village is located by stone forest lake, where makes it possible for you to acquaint with their folk songs and dances. After the tour, be transferred to Kunming and visit the Flowers and Birds Market in the downtown. At last, transfer to hotel.

Note: A Passport or ID card is mandatory for visiting the Stone Forest.

Yes everything was spectacular and fascinating very professional and prompt services. There were beautiful places to explore and to see in the 4 hours that we had. The comfort and beauty of the China was incredible, The history, culture and way of life of the local people we bumped into during the layover was beyond our expectations. Hiking on the Great wall after driving through a small remote countryside was very relaxing and rejuvenating. It was the best trip ever to experience on a few hours.

We had not previously used a travel agency for touring. The crew including the driver and tour guide were really funny, friendly and knowledgeable. Despite having limited time we still had free time allowing for shopping and grabbing a meal and drinks. Highly recommend this layover in Beijing.

Booking from South Africa on ChinaTour.net was so quick and easy, however I had to mail customer service as I had not received my confirmation within the 48 hours that the original mail had stated. Once done I received confirmation for all my train and internal flights within 20 minutes of sending the mail. I would highly recommend this website for booking trips through China and i will use it again in future.

Well worth it! Jenny was really nice and incredibly helpful with the immigration process after airport personnel originally escorted to the wrong area and didn’t want to allow leaving the airport. She takes great photos! Beautiful views and fun to take the toboggan down. Wasn’t too crowded on this day - and definitely worth doing with a 7 hour layover. Nice car and driver too.

Great app to buy train tickets. If you don't know the language you just show the e-ticket that the app gave you and the seller will give the tickets to you without the need to talk.
