Our tour guide of the day ~
You can seee the tourist...going in...like alotttttt
Breathtaking view ~~
OMG This map is.....insane
The downside is the place is overcrowded.
HAD YOU SPOT THE HEAD ON THE STONE? HMMM
I suggest if you wanna get to to the small stone forest, just walk there instead of taking the bus. It's worth it and definitely less tourist! So we are on the shuttle taking us to the stone forest that have lesser people ~~
Seeing this quieter area makes the visit a totally different experience but it takes time to enjoy it all.
Photoshooting start!!!! ahhaahha
seeking around ~~

Its all about traditional cuisine~ quite a good experience !

Then we start to climb up n down in the caves~
The main scenic spots of the Jiuxiang Scenic Area are Green Shady Valley, Grand Underground Valley, Grand Lion Hall, Twin Waterfalls, Fairy Fields and Bat Cave.
Yes you can see we hiking up n down ~~
Different-shaped stalactites and stalagmites, highlighted with colored lights, are bright and mysterious. On crossing Diehong Bridge, you enter Lying Dragon Cave.
This is really really nice when on the spot!
Continuing on, you can see Fairy Field, off to one side of the path. Layers of stalagmites, highlighted with colored lights, look like terraced fields. There is a huge conical stalactite shaped like a grain of cereal, bathed in a gold-yellow light.
PRAY
The next spot to visit is Bat Cave, also known as Underground Downturned Stone Forest. It used to have many bats living there, but now there only remains a stone ‘forest’ hanging upside down from the top of the cave.

Visit Yunnan's Modern Historical Site - Yunnan Military Junwu Hall
The museum is in three sections with bilignual information boards and artefact labels.
Photos from the collection of Auguste François (1857-1935), who served as French consul in south China between 1896 and 1904, during which he spent several years in Kunming.
All of the works exhibited there were installations having to do with the idea of the classroom, looking to interrogate the changes in both Chinese traditional education and the Western educational model, and thinking about reactions to the process of modernization.
Lunch - 過橋米線 is a rice noodle soup from Yunnan, China. It is one of the most well-known dishes in Yunnan cuisine.
Feeling adventurous and want to try your hand at making this dish yourself.. put all the ingredients to the soup.
