Nidang Stone Forest
泥凼石林
A karst stone forest in Nidang Town, south of Xingyi, with dense stone pinnacles that resemble a forest. Nearby is He Yingqin's former residence. The site is natural and uncrowded.
Nidang Stone Forest lies in Nidang Town, south of Xingyi City, and is part of the Xingyi National Geopark. Stone pinnacles and columns are scattered across hillsides and farmland, with striking shapes. Compared with the Yunnan Stone Forest it is smaller in scale, but it is more natural and far less visited. A trail winds through the stone forest, and you can climb up for views over the stone forest and the villages. In Nidang Town stands He Yingqin's former residence, a Republican-era architectural complex, which you can visit on the way. It is about 45 km from Xingyi city, along many winding mountain roads, so driving or hiring a car is recommended. It is often combined with Wanfeng Lake and Nidang Old Village as a day trip. Admission details are subject to on-site information.
