Kunming, city of eternal spring, is my temporary reprieve from the damp cold of Chengdu for several days. The West Hills, with their steep cliffs facing the city, also overlooks the large lake the city borders. I wandered from random dirt trail to trail, past hamlets and gardens. Eventually I ended up climbing through the Little Stone Forest. Visited some pavilions with great views, and got close to the tall cliff. Guessing on mileage until I look at tourist map for a little help.
