What travelers say:
Cangshan Scenic Area generally goes up the mountain from three cableways, Gantong cableway (more attractions), Ximatan cableway (up to the top of the mountain), and Zhonghe cableway. There are Gantong Temple and Jizhaoxuan near the Gantong cableway (a particularly petty bourgeois and beautiful monastery, worth seeing). After going up the mountain, you can walk along the Yudai Yunyou Road. It is all Ping Road. It takes 12 kilometers to go down the mountain to the Zhonghe cableway (about 4 hours). If you don't want to walk so much, you can take a section of Yudai Yunyou Road. The original road returns to the Sentong cableway and goes down the mountain. You can also walk for 1 hour Yunyou Road and go down the mountain in the middle section of the Ximatan cableway (the cableway fee needs to make up the difference). I personally think that Yudai Yunyou Road, I feel that the scenery of Qilong Woman Pool is average, and I am blocked by vegetation, and I can hardly see the Bohai Sea. Qilong Nvchi to Zhonghe Temple, some places are open, you can see the Bohai Sea and the city. Cangshan has 19 peaks and 18 streams, and 18 streams enter the Bohai Sea. The scenery is beautiful and the vegetation is lush. It is worth seeing the mountain.

Having visited Yunnan, one understands why it is known as the 'South of the Colorful Clouds', a paradise on earthChina has many provinces, whose names are related to the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas on the land, but only the clouds of Yunnan come from the sky. People use 'South of the Colorful Clouds' to describe this realm. The complex monsoon alternations bring the most colorful changes to the clouds wandering over the plateau. In the northwest of Yunnan, the coming and going of clouds shape a world of changing light and shadow. - Dali🏯 In Dali, the fixed combination is Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake.

Here, you will understand why people say Dali is a place that heals the heart🍃 - Lugu Lake🌊 Yunnan's clouds not only float in the sky but also in the water. If you like quietness, you can come to Lugu Lake, face the water, watch the white clouds pass by, watch time slip away. The pure lake seems to be nature's most perfect palette, with the reflection of the water and the mountains complementing each other. Walking by the lake, it's like being in a fairy tale world, where the Naxi and Mosuo girls capture everyone's hearts🌸 - Lijiang🌷 Everyone who has been to Lijiang has different reasons to fall in love with it. Wooden buildings and stone paths, flowing water and fresh flowers, but one combination is the favorite of many, which is the old town and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Standing at the foot of the snow mountain, time seems to stand still, making you feel peace and happiness🌙 - Kunming✨ The sea of flowers in the Spring City, where the flowers bloom in a riot of colors, each with its own story. Every corner has the warm smiles of people.

Staying up late to organize | 3 days and 2 nights per capita 700 Dali nanny-level guideDali city gives me the feeling of one word "slow", so slow that winter has arrived, and autumn is still here. Here I have organized a travel guide for 3 days and 2 nights in Dali in winter for friends who want to go to Dali as a reference. — 📍Transportation: 🚅High-speed train: Get off at Dali Station, then exit the station to the blue sign where you can take the No. 8 bus to the East Gate/North Gate, or take the scenic area direct bus. ✈️Airplane: Dali has an airport, you can fly directly, but the airport is relatively far from the ancient city, but it is closer to Xiaguan, if you have time you can experience the night Xiaguan style. 🚖However, Dali's transportation is not very convenient, and many places cannot be visited by taking the bus. 😢 — 📍Essential scenic spots to check in: 1️⃣Dali Ancient Town: This is the core area of Dali tourism, with a deep historical charm, and it also carries Dali's culture! Although commercialization is unavoidable, it is still a place where foreign tourists check in. 😄 Admission: Free — 2️⃣Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas: This is the only national 5A scenic spot in Dali, known as the first temple of Han Buddhism, with great scenery and a high photo output rate. 👍 Admission: 75 — 3️⃣Erhai Lake along the line: As a symbol of Dali, to be honest, not going to Erhai Lake is really a waste of a trip to Dali. After going to Erhai Lake, I understand why Dali can become a place to soothe the soul. 🌊 Admission: Free/Boat ticket 140 — 4️⃣Shuanglang Ancient Town: Located on the northeast coast of Erhai Lake in Dali, it is known as the town with the best sea view. The Sun Palace and Moon Palace of the Peacock Queen Yang Liping are here, but I didn't make a reservation. 🏠 Admission: Free — 5️⃣Xizhou Ancient Town: This is a quiet and delicate thousand-year-old town. The ancient town is not big, and it only takes about half a day to have fun. The atmosphere is quite strong. 🗓️ Admission: Free — 6️⃣Nanzhao Fengqing Island: Surrounded by water on all sides, there are Guanyin statues, Nanzhao Royal Palace, the main square, and Taihu stones on the island! You must take a boat to get on the island. 🚢 Admission: 50 — 7️⃣Cangshan: This is my personal favorite, with eighteen peaks and eighteen streams, and the mountain top is covered with snow all year round. From here you can overlook the scenery of Dali Erhai Lake. 🏔️ Gantong cableway 80, Cangshan cableway 60 (round trip) The main scenery is on the Gantong cableway — 📍Three-day tour route recommendation: Day1: ◎Dali Ancient Town - ◎Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas - ◎Three Pagodas Reflection Park - Night tour of Dali Ancient Town Day2: ◎Erhai Lake - ◎Shuanglang Ancient Town - ◎Xizhou Ancient Town -◎Nanzhao Fengqing Island Day3: ◎Play in Cangshan — 📍About accommodation: You can see the introduction in picture 9 Cost: 3 days and 2 nights, accommodation 400 for two days! Including scenic spots, plus the cost of meals, the per capita cost is about 700. 🎫RenewalJourneys1
I recently visited Yunnan and discovered why it is known as the 'Land of Eternal Spring'In China, many provinces are named after the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas on the land, but only Yunnan's clouds come from the sky.

Visit Dali to ascend Cangshan Mountain and view Erhai LakeIt was already past five in the afternoon when I arrived in Dali. I booked an inn by the Erhai Lake, located in the small Guanyi near Erhai Park. This area is a Hui Muslim community, with an environment resembling a blend of urban and rural areas. The inn is a renovated house of the villagers, lined up along the lake. The surroundings on the ground floor could use some further beautification, but the room facilities are decent. I booked a 500-yuan sea-view room with a large bed for one night. The rooftop has a terrace you can go up to, and the view is indeed nice. Just a few dozen meters downstairs is the lakeside walkway. The next day, I didn't feel much when taking the cable car up the mountain, but the descent was super invincibly beautiful. You can enjoy the view of Erhai Lake as you come down the mountain, which is very pleasant and comfortable. We went to the Gantong cable car, which is located halfway up the mountain. There wasn't much to do there, so we just checked in at the Cangshan Grand Canyon. It's still a 4.5km walk to ascend the mountain, and due to time constraints, we didn't go up. If you have enough time, I suggest taking the cable car to Xima Tan and then walking to the Gantong cable car, and then taking the cable car down. This way, you might have a more ample selection of scenic spots to enjoy.WayfarerWanderlust1

The room is very spacious, the view is particularly good, the room's floor-to-ceiling windows face Cangshan, at night you can see the lights of each family in the ancient town, blinking like stars.

It's very convenient, there's no need to specifically pursue a guesthouse with a view of Erhai Lake, because it's quite noisy near Erhai Lake in the morning, the location of this guesthouse is just right, quiet in the midst of noise! It's convenient and not noisy and not too far from the attractions! The whole house is intelligent, toothbrushes, combs and razors are all wooden, the texture is also great, the bedding is very comfortable, asked the customer service, found out that it is actually the pillow of Mengbaihe recommended by Xiaolajiao Is Shuyao several times, really good sleep!!

Lugu Lake is another side of Yunnan's cloud, quiet and peaceful, the white clouds flow on the lake, the water and mountains reflect each other, as if it is a fairy tale world. The gentleness of the Naxi girls and Mosuo girls will only capture people's hearts more. Lijiang is everyone's favorite, and the angles they like are different. Wooden buildings, stone roads, flowing water, flowers, and the combination of the ancient city and Yulong Snow Mountain are the most popular. Standing at the foot of the snow mountain, it seems that time has stopped, feeling the tranquility and happiness deep in the heart. The flower sea of Spring City Kunming is really worthy of its name, the colorful flowers bloom, each one has its own story. And every corner has people's enthusiastic smiles, the life here is brilliant and colorful. Shangri-La is the paradise in the dream, the eternal peace and tranquility on the plateau.

Don't come to Dali without going to Cangshan MountainCangshan Mountain Travel Guide Preparation before departure 1. It is recommended to go to bed early and rest well the night before departure, because the tour of Cangshan Mountain takes a long time and requires sufficient physical strength. 2. Prepare necessary items, including mineral water, energy-replenishing food, mobile phone and its spare battery (if you like mobile photography), sun protection items (sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and other coverings, etc.), suitable sports casual shoes, garbage bags, band-aids, Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, napkins or wet wipes, appropriate cash, etc. 3. Carry clothes according to the weather forecast, it is recommended to wear long-sleeved clothes and trousers, and carry simple rain gear. Accommodation selection As a tourist city, Dali has a wide range of accommodation options. You can choose to stay in local guesthouses and homestays, which allows you to experience the local culture and non-standard, personalized service experience. Tour route 1. Take the cable car from Zhonghe in the morning, this is the most complete way to go. Walk along the Jade Belt Road to the mid-station of the Seven Dragon Girl Pool of the Xima Tan cable car, and take the second half to the top. After checking in at Xima Tan, take the cable car down to the mid-station again. 2. Walk from the Jade Belt Road to the Gantong cable car to go down the mountain, and continue to Gantong Temple and Jizhao Nunnery after the cable car. The feature of this route is that you can tour Cangshan Mountain in one day. But please note that the amount of exercise will be relatively large in one day, especially the Jade Belt Road is 11 kilometers long, and there are 1200 steps from the Jade Belt Road to the mid-station of Xima Tan. Precautions 1. The Cangshan Mountain tour route has strong ultraviolet rays and consumes a lot of physical energy. Tourists need to take sun protection measures and replenish water to ensure sufficient physical strength. 2. Please comply with the regulations of the scenic area, do not litter, and protect the environment. 3. During the tour, pay attention to safety, comply with regulations, and avoid accidents. The above is a brief introduction to the Cangshan Mountain travel guide, I hope it can help you. I wish you a pleasant time in Cangshan Mountain!BAILEY MCKINNEY1

Cangshan Scenic Area generally goes up the mountain from three cableways, Gantong cableway (more attractions), Ximatan cableway (up to the top of the mountain), and Zhonghe cableway. There are Gantong Temple and Jizhaoxuan near the Gantong cableway (a particularly petty bourgeois and beautiful monastery, worth seeing). After going up the mountain, you can walk along the Yudai Yunyou Road. It is all Ping Road. It takes 12 kilometers to go down the mountain to the Zhonghe cableway (about 4 hours). If you don't want to walk so much, you can take a section of Yudai Yunyou Road. The original road returns to the Sentong cableway and goes down the mountain. You can also walk for 1 hour Yunyou Road and go down the mountain in the middle section of the Ximatan cableway (the cableway fee needs to make up the difference). I personally think that Yudai Yunyou Road, I feel that the scenery of Qilong Woman Pool is average, and I am blocked by vegetation, and I can hardly see the Bohai Sea. Qilong Nvchi to Zhonghe Temple, some places are open, you can see the Bohai Sea and the city. Cangshan has 19 peaks and 18 streams, and 18 streams enter the Bohai Sea. The scenery is beautiful and the vegetation is lush. It is worth seeing the mountain.
Very beautiful! Even if there is no sun, the cloudy mountaintop is a feeling of fairy air; the vegetation is rich; the jade belt trail is a flat road, not very tired, the feeling of walking in the mountains and forests, and you may see wild animals such as chickens and squirrels. You must go to Cangshan when you come to Dali.
Crazy~ I guess no one tours Cangshan like us. I took my parents in their 60s, felt the ropeway, and took the jade belt plank road. I was afraid of thousands of steps to the Ximatan cableway. I made up the ticket and went down the mountain. If I went to travel, don't do it! ! ! Tired and broken... But it is time to say that the scenery in the mountains is beautiful, overlooking the sea and looking up at the blue sky is still refreshing.
First of all, taking the sinking martan cableway requires to see if the weather is suitable for the day. The public account of Dali tourism service is announced every day. The scenery is really beautiful, but it is not recommended to wear too much cable car on sunny days this season, which will make you feel that you have spent money to do a sauna.
Cangshan trip to Dali to play, inevitably go to Cangshan once. Before departure, I saw a lot of guides on the Internet. Recommended guides on the Internet: 1. Take the ropeway up the mountain from Gantong Temple, then take the Yudai Road to Qilong Woman Pool, and then go north to the Zhonghe Temple cableway down the mountain. 2. Go up the mountain from Gantong Temple to Qinv Longchizhong Station, then transfer to the top of the Ximatan cableway, and then take the big cableway down the mountain. 3. Take the big cableway to and from Ximatan. Save time and effort. What I want to explain here is: [Cute] 1 and 2 Raiders. Take the ropeway up the mountain from Gantong Temple and then go to Qinv Longchizhong Station. This section of the road has 4.9 kilometers of walking and 1.2 kilometers of steps. Walking, fortunately, this uplink step is really too physical. Friends who don't climb the mountain often, it is really not recommended to take this route. Because, after taking the big cableway up the mountain, out of the cableway, there is a long way to get to the Ximatan Observation Deck, and this road is all steps, there are many friends, all halfway, and they will return. [Cute] about the fare. The previous online strategy did not make it clear. We also learned it when we arrived at the destination. I bought a large cableway round-trip pass. This large cableway round-trip pass includes the Sentong cableway to the bottom of the mountain, and the seven female dragon pool station cableway to the bottom of the mountain, and the Zhonghe Temple cableway to the bottom of the mountain. Choose one of the cableways to go down the mountain. This little friends must pay attention. Many friends bought a large cableway round-trip pass, thinking that they can only go down the mountain at the seven female dragon pool. In order to see the scenery near the Gantong Temple cableway, you have to walk to the Gantong Temple cableway station, and then fold back from the Gantong Temple cableway station to the Qinv Longchizhong station. This round trip takes 10 kilometers. When buying tickets, the staff did not prompt. The ticket purchase guide did not explain, many friends are awkward, only to ask, only to know what is going on. When the scenic spot should buy a large ropeway ticket, there are tips, which can save a lot of time. There are also tickets for going up and down the mountain at Qinv Longchi Station. Note: The suspension time of the ropeway is 17:00, but in reality it will start to stop at 16:30! ! ! ! I went down the mountain of the Gantong Temple cableway just in time for the last bus at 16:30. The staff said that it was exactly 17:00 to the bottom of the mountain. [Cute] about the attractions. The dragon pool at the Qinv Longchi Station is still worth seeing. There are seven dragons in total. It's a pity that I only see five dragons because there is not enough time. There is also the scenery of Ximatan Mountain. The wood plank road is full of mountain rhododendrons. If the azaleas come when the azaleas bloom, the scenery must be beautiful. Unfortunately, I came in December and could only see the snow and frost trees hanging on the mountain.
