Jiu Xiang and Stone Forest

by iracubet

Does anyone know whether we could tour both JiuXiang caves and Stone forest in 1 day? We're thinking of hiring a cab (Rmb200-250??) to take us there and back?

It takes about 2 hours to get from Kunming to the Stone Forest, then about the entire morning to sightsee there. I was there from about 0730 to 1330. It should be possible to do both in 1 day. Do you speak Chinese?

1 day tour to stone forest and jiuxiang from/back kunming by hiring a cab, i am afaid it will cost you about 400-500.

Hi! Ellyse.

Thanks for the reply. Yes..I do speak chinese although I must say...I'm a little rusty! So, you are suggesting that I go to Stone Forest first then to Jiu Xiang? Or should I go the other way round? Which is a better plan? Someone else replied and said that a cab would cost me $400-500. Any chance of rm 300?

RE: RE: RE: Jiu Xiang and Stone Forest

stone forest first,then jiuxiang. round trip is about 250 km.
for hiring a shabby mini van, may cost you rmb 300; for a cab, at least rmb 400; as you can be recognized as a foreigner, they might ask for more.
remember, you must comfirm with the driver that you go/back via highway, and the payment includes the toll for highway(rmb 35 one way).

Sorry, no idea if it'd be better doing either first over the other. I only went to the Stone Forest.

Hi,

It is best first to go to the Stone Forest, because after 09:00 AM , it is become VERY busy (every day and special on holidays)

I when i say Busy i mean really busy...
There a lot of small paths, and sometimes you have to wait 15 minutes to pass...

Greetings

Dongba Cultural Museum

by Sharrie

DONGBA CULTURAL MUSEUM.

What is the Dongba culture & characters?

Dongba shamans use the Dongba characters which basically are a living pictographic language still in use today. There are about 1400 Dongba characters. These characters are somewhat like those ancient Egyptian characters.

I joined a local tour to Stone Forest due to the long distance from the city. If you can, try to hire a cab instead & don't join a local tour here. It's amazing the number of shopping stops the company will bring you to - 5 in 1 day! Not much time left for sightseeing at all!

Kunming's western fastfood

by hooiluangoh about de ke shi

Aside from KFC and McDonald's which everybody know what it tastes like, this is another fastfood restaurant.

I don't like the food so much however. The chips were cold, and the chicken pieces soggy.
