Today, I visited the 石林 (Stone Forest), a UNESCO World Heritage Site located near Kunming. The stone formations were truly impressive, and it felt like I was walking through a fantasy world. I also had the opportunity to learn about the local Bai ethnic group, who live in the area. They have their own unique culture and customs, which I found to be very interesting.

Afterward, I took a stroll around the old town of Dali, which has a unique blend of Chinese and Western influences. The architecture and the atmosphere were both enchanting.
