Where to go to escape the summer heat? Dali Yangbi Yunshang Village, a beautiful place with few people!

Where to go to escape the summer heat? Dali's lesser-known summer resort Yunshang Village, a beautiful and quiet place. Backed by Cangshan Mountain and located above the clouds, the beautiful village of Yunshang is situated in the heart of the western slope of Cangshan in Yangbi County, Dali. It is a tranquil and serene paradise far from the hustle and bustle. It is about 60 kilometers from Dali Ancient City, and it takes only an hour's drive. Due to its location on the mountaintop, Yunshang Village is shrouded in clouds all year round. This unique natural landscape is the direct source of its name "Yunshang Village." The misty scenery not only gives the village a poetic and aesthetic feel but also adds a touch of mystery and tranquility. The vast Yunshang Village, as if located above the clouds, is quiet with few tourists. The entire village is surrounded by more than 6,000 ancient walnut trees over a hundred years old. In summer, the trees provide ample shade, the temperature is just right, and flowers bloom everywhere, making it a perfect place to escape the heat with beautiful scenery and few people. Yunshang Village offers various landscapes to enjoy and photograph. In the spring garden near the Couple Stone on the north side of the village, you can admire weeping cherry blossoms; in the summer garden on the south side (up from the Lao Cha Family Inn), there are hydrangeas, which are said to be most beautiful in mid to late June; the autumn garden on the north side is the place to appreciate the beauty of ginkgo trees in autumn; and the winter garden near the autumn garden is a tea garden landscape. The beautiful Yunshang Village also features a library, a rose garden, a walnut research institute, the Couple Stone, a ruins garden, the Yunshang Love Theme Park, the thousand-year-old walnut sacred tree, the walnut ancestral hall, an agricultural culture experience area, the Flower Coffee House, Jin'an Temple, and Yuhuang Pavilion. Jin'an Temple and Yuhuang Pavilion are located 5 kilometers east of the village. Strolling through the village, breathing in the fresh air, and basking in the natural oxygen bar, everything feels relaxed and refreshing. Chickens peck freely among the flowers and grass, perhaps this is the most original place for free-range chickens. Walking along the village paths, the roadside is lined with ancient walnut trees over a hundred years old, lush and uniquely shaped, making for great photo opportunities. The village has the largest lawn square, with the Couple Stone on the north side, the ruins garden on the east side, the thousand-year-old walnut sacred tree and the walnut ancestral hall on the south side, and the Yunshang Love Theme Park on the west side. ✅ "Couple Stone" is a unique scenic spot. Leaning against each other, lifelike, as if telling an ancient and touching love story. ✅ The low stones and several arches in the ruins garden are the only remaining relics of the ancient village buildings. These relics are cleverly integrated into the modern garden landscape, forming the ancient village ruins garden. It showcases the long history of the ancient village and is also a unique scenic spot. ✅ The thousand-year-old walnut sacred tree has a history of 1,169 years and is the oldest walnut tree in Yunshang Village. The entire ancient tree is surrounded by five-tiered steps, symbolizing the unity and progress of the Yi, Han, Bai, Dai, and Lisu ethnic groups in the village. During our trip, we encountered a 90-year-old elder leisurely walking around the ancient tree. He was articulate and healthy, and he actively introduced the village to us, giving us a real sense of happiness. Yunshang Village has homestays and inns, suitable for a leisurely vacation. The more famous ones are Lao Cha Family Inn, Yunshang Starry Sky Tent Hotel, and Thirty-Three Rooms Hall. The village has restaurants, and eating wild mushrooms is a must for summer tourism. There are also stir-fried walnut flowers, boiled steel plate vegetables, stewed native chicken, steamed ribs, and other delicacies. The courtyard-style restaurant is clean and hygienic, and the prices are very affordable. Starting from the S236 provincial road (altitude 1522 meters) on the banks of the Heihui River in Yangbi County, Dali, you can reach Yunshang Village (highest point 2206 meters) by driving 8 kilometers along the winding mountain road. This road to the village is narrow, with many bends and steep slopes, so self-driving tourists must pay attention to safety. It is understood that Yunshang Village also hosts hydrangea exhibitions, outdoor sports activities, walnut festivals, and other colorful events. Tourists traveling to Dali should not miss the folk activities of Yunshang Village if they happen to encounter them. During our half-day tour, we only saw a few hurried tourists, so there's no need to worry about others disturbing your tranquility. Traveling to Yunshang Village in summer, if you encounter rainy weather, you should bring an extra coat. The entrance fee to Yunshang Village is 20 yuan per person, and the parking fee is 10 yuan per car. There is a kind of life called Dali, falling in love with life in Dali. Yunshang Village is one of the best places for summer tourism in Dali. If you like the content of this article, please like and support it!
