The Stone Forest

Today, we drove about 2 hours (not including stops) to the Stone Forest.

On the way, we nearly had a head on collision with a truck which had spun out of control on the slippery road. Luckily, our driver saw the truck coming and went in reverse. As as a result, we only got slightly clipped in the corner.

Shortly after our accident, we stopped by the small Sani minority village of Qixing, which means Seven Star village. From there, we stopped for lunch at a restaurant near the Stone Forest and then visited the Stone Forest afterwards and then headed back to Kunming.

While in Kunming, I bought some Pu Ehr tea cakes. This time of tea is tightly compressed into bricks or cakes and get better with age. They make interesting decorations.
