The Stone Forest scenic area is very large. There are more than 170 scenic spots in the big Stone Forest. Many people go there to see the main attractions. Otherwise, if you look at all the big and small attractions there, you need spend more than 3 days. If you have this plan, you can choose the Yi people’s torch festival on 24th June every year and live in the scenic spot.

The Yellow Mountains is actually made up of a series of peaks, so it is not to just climb one mountain. It has a lot of peaks to climb, and there are many entrances, but most people choose to come to Tangkou Town. They can buy tickets at the scenic transfer center to take the bus. Taking the bus is the must thing to do for every climber, even if you are traveling by self-driving tour, you should park the car in the Tangkou and take the bus into the mountain. As for the choice of Qianshan (Ciguangge) or Houshan (Yungu Temple), it’s depending on everyone’s itinerary. Keep in mind that the front mountain is steep and there are more stairs. The back mountain is a little gentler, with less stairs, and it will be certainly a little more relaxed.
