    "The niche tourist attractions were originally on the way to see the results. It is worth this trip, everyone likes it very much. The lights inside are very beautiful. The whole trip is about two hours. Take the boat into the cave and walk slowly to the exit!"

    "Ice-covered mountains, wax sprinkled in the north, winter mountain bags have a special flavor. The road is frozen in winter, and you need to be extra careful when driving on the rugged mountain roads. On the day I went, the snow in Zhaotong City fell, and the mountains were foggy and there was no clear day. However, this is just the right, snow mist, black-necked cranes leisurely strolling on the mountain lake, dyed a dark color of the freehand landscape, confused, classical elegant."

    "This attraction is a surprise for our trip! Dashanbao belongs to a national nature reserve, not a scenic spot. Go to the center to buy a ticket for 98 people. Note that this is only a ticket, not a scenic spot without tickets! Sitting in a simple transfer car, entering the reserve all the way bumpy, along the way, flocks of cattle and sheep, the grass is full of unknown flowers, the shepherd wrapped in wool and fell asleep everywhere. The distance between each attraction is very far, you must take a car, no one at the bus stop arranges coordination, there are few cars, tourists do not queue up to squeeze in the car, and later tourists discuss how to queue up, call the transfer center and ask them to arrange a few more cars to pick up people. At each transfer point, locals sell roasted eggs, corn potatoes, mutton skewers, and roasted with collected animal manure. It is absolutely authentic. The smoke floats everywhere with the wind, and every tourist waiting for the bus can be smoked. Every attraction is very shocking, especially those who are afraid of heights on the glass platform will have soft legs. Especially Jigong Mountain is more physical to walk, and it is recommended to ride horses if you can't walk, but the beautiful scenery is along the walkway. Friends who come here to play suggest that you must wear comfortable sneakers, bring a windproof coat, do a good job of sun protection measures, the weather on the mountain is unpredictable, and bring some water and food in moderation. In general, Zhaotong is cooler than Kunming, Lijiang and Dali, there are relatively few people, and the prices are not high. It is recommended that you can go to the ancient city of Zhaotong again. The atmosphere of life is very strong and it is not completely commercialized. The whole family likes this city very much and will come again next year."

    Highlights: Dashanbao is located in Zhaotong City, Yunnan Province. It is an ideal place for self-driving tours. It is divided into 4 attractions: Jigong Mountain, Xianrentian, Tiaodun Lake and Dahaizi. Jigong Mountain is majestic and magnificent. It is an ideal place to watch the sea of clouds and the sunset. Dahaizi can watch the sunrise and black-necked cranes. Looking around in the Dashanbao Scenic Area, a standard grassland scenery is presented in front of your eyes. A large green meadow is dotted with several cattle and horses, and there are several small lakes scattered here and there. It would be a pity not to take a camera to record this heavenly scene. Tourists can climb Jigong Mountain, where they can watch the sea of clouds and the sunset. There are down-to-earth locals selling baked eggs and baked potatoes on the mountain, so give it a try.
