Underground Shilin

Twenty or thirty years ago, Shilin Nine Towns was Kunming people's favorite place to travel. 100 kilometers away, it wouldn't feel like too close, nor would it feel too far, most suitable for families to travel together. Now, whether we take tourist buses or drive ourselves, we must stop at the parking lot 3 kilometers outside the Shilin Scenic Area, and then walk into the Shilin Scenic Area, which greatly preserves the tranquility and ecology of the scenic area.
Shilin, Nine Towns, are 2 scenic areas, because they are on the same direction, so they are often visited together. In the morning, you can set off from Kunming, and after driving 86 kilometers to Shilin, you can play in Shilin, and in the afternoon, you can drive another 25 kilometers to Nine Towns to play.
