Stone Forest Ecological Park, you really had a blooming good time! The Stone Forest, a popular 5A-rated tourist spot in Kunming, we came here in spring. Since we were staying right next to the Stone Forest, we planned to visit the next day. Therefore, after dinner on the first day, we went for a walk in the nearby Stone Forest Ecological Park. Unexpectedly, the flowers were in full bloom. Even more unexpectedly, the flowers were shrouded in a hazy beauty under the glow of the sunset. Walking under the trees bathed in the sunset's glow, with the gentle fallen petals accompanying us, our leisurely stroll took on a romantic air. ❶ Sunset Flower Viewing Journey We took a quick look and found that there were at least several types of flowering trees in the Stone Forest Ecological Park, including crabapples, pear blossoms, and peach blossoms. Different types of flowers were equally tender and lovely under the sunset. These intensely or softly colored flowering trees crisscross every path in the park. Shy blossoms and beautiful branches always accompanied our walk. ❷ Small-scale Stone Forests Interspersed As an urban park near the Stone Forest scenic area, the 'Stone Forest' theme is indispensable. The park is intended for locals and tourists to relax and have fun, so the stone formations here are not spectacular, mostly low-lying. However, the undulating stone forests interspersed among the flowering trees also have their unique charm. 🚙 Practical Tips for Self-driving Tours 📱 Navigation: Set 'Stone Forest Ecological Park'. 🛣️ Road Conditions: Urban roads, overall good condition. 🅿️ Parking: The large parking lot next to the ecological park allows self-driving cars to park at night, but not during the day, as the park has direct access to the Stone Forest scenic area. ⛽ Fuel/Electricity: Refueling and charging are very convenient near the Stone Forest scenic area. 🎫 Tickets: No admission fee. 🌸 Best Time to Visit: March. ▶️ The above content is summarized based on personal travel experience, please forgive any omissions. ▶️ Subject to timeliness, some scenes may have changed, current conditions prevail. ▶️ Address and location information provided by the website, please leave a message for more detailed information. ▶️ All the scenic spots that Cai Cai Juan Er and Mr. Dog have traveled to are accessible by car. 🔸🔹🔸 If you like self-driving tours and prefer the road less traveled, please listen to the stories from Cai Cai Juan Er.
