I have seen the flowers in Shangguan, the wind blowing through Xiaguan, the snow in Cangshan, and the moon in Erhai. Dali, once used as poetry and distant, seems to have become my hometown.

Dali is a place carved by time and has been favored by time. It is even more dazzling. Its uniqueness, mystery and elegance have won the love of more and more people.

It has a kind of Chinese classical beauty, but it is different from the graceful and graceful water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Its beauty not only brings the beauty of Suzhou and Hangzhou, but also brings the roughness of the plateau. It is a beauty that is independent of the south of the Yangtze River and the plateau.

Dali is a dream, a dream in everyone's heart. Countless urgent and slow steps are only a hard stone road, but they cannot change the thousand-year dream. You don't have to stare, just have to take a quick glance, and that is that you can never get rid of it. yearning...

I yearn for Dali's endless Cangshan Mountain, the Erhai Lake with waves on the shore; the thousand-year-old monument-the three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple; and the simple and peaceful life in Dali.

Follow whatever you yearn for! Yearn for Cangshan and take the cableway directly to Cangshan Ximatan. Although the mountain is there whether you are there or not, seeing the mountain with your own eyes will make you even more happy.

Cangshan Mountain in Dali has continuous mountains, huge mountains and steep cliffs. For safety reasons, climbing on foot is not recommended. Taking a cableway is your best choice.

If you want to visit Cangshan, please choose to take the cableway and take the Jade Belt Road specially built for tourists.

Warm reminder: The cableway is stopped at 16:00 p.m. If you walk the entire journey, please pay attention to the time to avoid missing the cableway; if you have a long journey, please try to travel together.

In the morning, at dawn, the golden sunshine warmed people and mountains. Line up, take the cableway, and go straight to the Yudai Yunyou Road.

The cableway runs through the surface of the Pine Sea, all the way up, through the forest sea, and over the valleys, and finally stops in the mountains.

I have seen the Qingbi River, which is not only clear and has extremely cold water, I have seen the precious chess game in the mountains, I have seen the stone carvings in the mountains, and I have experienced the tranquility in the mountains. After a short rest, I started to set out again.

Walking on the blue stone road blocked by pine trees, the sun slides down through the gaps to form a light path.

When you walk on the stone road, all around you are wrapped in fresh air. Take a deep breath and slowly breathe it out. You instantly feel the fresh air flowing through your body.

The whole journey is 11.5 kilometers, and the bluestone path is 2 meters wide. Walking along the path in the forest will be peaceful and comfortable.

Watching the flowing clouds fly along the way, the sun shines, the mountain flowers bloom, the green trees are lush, and the unique flavor of nature lingers in your nose, which immediately makes you feel relaxed and happy.

Head all the way north and after hiking for 4.5 kilometers, you will arrive at Longxi in the eighteen rivers of Cangshan Mountain. The most beautiful attraction on the Longxi River is Qilongnu Pond.

Qilongnu Pond is arranged in order from low to high. It varies in size, shape and scenery, but all have one characteristic: the spring water is crystal clear.

The origin of the name of the Jade Belt Yunyou Road is closely related to the Qilongnu Pond. It is said that fairies from the sky descended to take a bath here. In order to cover it, they would transform into a white cloud belt that traverses halfway up Cangshan Mountain. Later, on the mountainside of Cangshan Mountain, a path was built where the jade belt clouds rose. This road was called the "Jade Belt Yunyou Road".

The most beautiful thing about Qilongnu Pond lies in "water". Although they are all related to water, water in different places gives people different feelings. Erhai Lake gives people a vast and lofty artistic conception, and Qilongnu Pond gives people a peaceful and deep artistic conception.

Walking into Qilongnu Pond, there is only the sound of water flowing around, there is no noisy human voice, only the sound of nature. This sound is very healing.

Listening to the melodious sound of the stream beating against the rocks, looking at the white waves of the spring pool, the waves rotating on the water surface, one round after another.

The stream is pure white, the moss is green, the bottom of the spring is clear, and the stones at the bottom of the spring are dark. The various colors cooperate with each other to make the Qilongnu Pond more peaceful, peaceful and dazzling.

Continuing all the way north, the scenery within the 7-kilometer journey is even more amazing. Thousands of rocks compete for beauty, strange rocks are undulating, and without the obstruction of tall trees. The urban layout of Dali and the appearance of the Erhai Lake are clearly placed in front of you.

From a perspective that ordinary people cannot see, we can re-understand Dali, Erhai Lake, and Cangshan Mountain. Cangshan Mountain is not only majestic, but also more beautiful, and Erhai Lake is not only calm, but also more vast.

I stopped and stopped all the way, looked at the fields, looked at the three towers of Chongsheng Temple, and came to the front of Zhonghe Temple. The unique temple gate was full of traces of time. Although it was a little dilapidated, it felt simple and heavy. It couldn't stop it.

Walking into the temple, you can see all the scenery at a glance. Although the temple is small, as a Taoist temple, the culture and status it contains are unclear to us.

After several hours of hiking, I stayed away from Yudai Yunyou Road, and came to the cableway where I took the cableway in Zhonghe Cableway. I sat on the cableway and watched Cangshan get farther and farther, and the cableway was getting lower and lower from the ground. The hiking journey on Yudai Yunyou Road entered the countdown.

The entire journey was 11.5 kilometers, and it took a day to capture the verdant verdant Cangshan and the vastness of the Erhai Lake in your eyes and hearts!
