Honest note: the stone itself is spectacular, but the park management is not. There is a long walk from the car park to the gate and the shuttle queues are slow in high season. Come early and it is fine.
Stone Forest · Jiuxiang caves
Limestone above ground in the morning, an underground river in the afternoon
老实说
这一天到底怎么过Limestone above ground in the morning and a river through caves after lunch — the fuller version of the stone forest day, and half of it is underground.
适合
- Travellers who want a full day
- Anyone who likes caves
什么情况下别订
If you dislike enclosed spaces or wet floors, the Jiuxiang caves are not the place to test it.
The two halves are 40 minutes apart by road. Booking only one of them is cheaper and leaves you with a lot of waiting.
一天的起点与终点
以下时间皆为出发时间Pick-up anywhere inside the Third Ring Road; a 7-seat vehicle at most, so the start time is flexible
一天,细到每一分钟
6 个停靠点Local time (GMT+8). The start time can move by up to an hour, agreed with the driver.
Pick-up inside the Third Ring Road接送
A five-seat car for two or three, a seven-seat MPV for four or five, a nine-seat van for six or seven
Stone Forest景点
About three hours: Sword Peak Pool and Wangfeng Pavilion in the Major Forest, the Ashima rock in the Minor
Lunch (own expense)用餐
Sani restaurants outside the gate — black goat hotpot and pan-fried rushan cheese are the local order
Jiuxiang景点
About two hours: Yincui Gorge, the Lion Hall, the Terraced Fields, and a boat through the underground river. A steady 18 °C inside
Back to Kunming车程
About an hour
Arrive in the city返程
Hotel or agreed drop-off
坐高铁前来
高速铁路这条路线的起点与终点都在昆明。多数旅客从Kunming South Railway Station抵达——接送集合点离出口只有一小段出租车或地铁的距离,行程结束后也来得及坐晚上的火车。如果你从别的城市过来,可以先查直达高铁,以及首班与末班的时间。
进与出
依路线而异What’s included
- Stone Forest admission (¥130)
- Jiuxiang admission
- Vehicle for the full day, sized to the group
- Driver-guide
Not included
- Lunch
- Stone Forest shuttle ¥25
- Jiuxiang cable car (optional, about ¥50)
- Personal expenses and gratuities
- This is a no-shopping small group with a driver-guide rather than a dedicated lecturer: less depth, more flexibility.
- Jiuxiang holds a constant 18 °C, so bring a light jacket even in summer, and wear shoes with grip — the cave floor is wet.
- Students and 60–69s get ¥40 back from the driver on the day; serving or retired military, disabled travellers and over-70s get ¥80. Bring the documents.
- Two karst sites in one day means roughly 10 km on foot — moderate to hard. With small children, book the Stone Forest alone.
- Boat queues at Jiuxiang in high season can push the return past 18:00. Allow three hours before an evening flight.
A seven-seat group is private and easy for a family, but two sites in one day is a lot for children under six.

旅客怎么说
18,770 条评价Pair the Stone Forest with the Jiuxiang caves and you have a full day: limestone above ground in the morning, a river through a cave system after lunch.
The scale is hard to photograph and harder to describe — pinnacles in every direction, paths threading between them, and total silence once you leave the main loop.
