Kunming Jiuxiang, Stone Forest and Dianchi Lake play time

02/19 2023

We will charter a car to Jiuxiang, Stone Forest and Dianchi Lake in Kunming. If we only focus on the key points, we don’t need to visit every corner carefully. How much time will it take for each scenic spot? Because I'm going to Dali that night, I want to know what time to set the train. Both of us are strong and fast walkers. Thanks!

It takes 2 hours from Dianchi Lake to Jiuxiang. It takes more than half an hour between Jiuxiang and Shilin. Jiuxiang and Stone Forest scenic spots each take two hours to go around. Dianchi Lake has no scenic spots, it's just an open lake, you can see how long you want. Calculate the time yourself. .

I didn't go to Jiuxiang, but if you don't like stones, you can skip the stone forest. I think the stone forest is meaningless, just like the botanical garden, but the botanical garden is a plant, and the stone forest is a stone! Just a suggestion, Shilin and Dianchi Lake are a bit far away. We didn’t transfer to Jiuxiang and it was about 6 o’clock by train.

I set off at 8:30 in the morning and chartered a car for 1 hour to Shilin. If you browse along the main line, it will take at least 2 hours. If you take pictures along the road, it will take 3 hours. Shilin is an open environment. You can also ask a tour guide if you miss the main attractions. You can ask the tour guide to quickly take you along the main routes and explain the history. It is about an hour away from Shilin to Jiuxiang. Jiuxiang does not turn back, so it is basically impossible to speed up here. There is a section where if you don’t want to walk, you can take the slide, 30 yuan/person, or walk about 400 steps to reach The next scenic spot, you can also take a quick walk in the karst cave. Jiuxiang is very commercialized. If you don’t need it, you don’t have to go shopping, just follow the stone steps. Finally, take the cableway down, and it took 40 minutes to line up during the May Day period. Usually, there should not be too many people. The whole time is about 3 hours. We returned to Kunming at 18:30. We learned about Dianchi Lake and consulted about it before. There were no seagulls at this time, and it is said that the environment is not very good, so we didn't go. If you need to control the time, go to Jiuxiang first, then to Shilin, and finally to Dianchi. The chartered car will usually be chartered until 12 o'clock in the evening, so you can leave Kunming according to the time of the last train to Dali, and it will take more than 2 hours to drive to Dali. If you only have one day in Kunming, you can give up Dianchi Lake, have dinner in Kunming or go shopping in Kunming Old Street before leaving.
