In the morning, you will visit the Yuantong Temple and immerse yourself in the rich atmosphere of the intermingling of three Buddhist sects.
Afterwards, we will drive 85 kilometres to the Stone Forest, known as the "essence of the world's karst landscapes". Listed as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site, the spectacular stone peaks covering 12 square kilometres of land are a breathtaking sight to behold. Taking a sightseeing bus, we will go deep into the Boulder Forest Scenic Area, as if entering a labyrinth of giant boulders.
Next, we will continue by bus to the Little Stone Forest. Here you will have the opportunity to see the iconic stone "Ashima" up close. This realistic boulder looks like a graceful young lady standing quietly in the wilderness.
As the sightseeing bus slowly pulls away from the scenic area, we will end this wonderful day's journey. You will then be transferred to the airport or railway station for your flight or train to your next destination to continue your travelling adventure. This journey will surely leave you with unforgettable memories.
