It's a pretty big park, and the stones are pretty impressive. A bit far from the city, so it takes about half a day to visit there.Full review by mz4jun

The hi-speed trains from/to Kunming are the fastest way. There's a shuttle bus from the Shilin high-speed station. the only downer is that some of the high-speed trains use the Kunming Main station, which is nightmare.

Hi Valentina! I took a taxi to go and the bus to return from the stone forest. I don't know about the train, but the bus is cheap and convenient. Have fun in the stone forest! It is really nice!
I have 1 full day in Kunming (first place to arrive when coming from the USA ).We are in our mid-sixties and my question is : should we spend that one full day visiting the Stone Forest or should we rather visit Kunming,the nearby lake and the other surrounding attractions nearby ?

Personally I would stick to the Stone Forest. The view there is really gorgeous. However, the journey there will really take some time if you want to take the public bus. It will eat up most of your time. It takes about 1h 30min on a one way trip by bus. It will be good if you get a personal driver. However, be careful of the locals there who ask you to take their 面包车(mian bao che) , they will try and cheat your money especially if you do not know Mandarin.
