If I were asked to select the most exciting city in Yunnan, Dali would appear in my mind as soon as possible.

Why choose Dali?

I believe that many people can't give a specific answer immediately, that is, they think Dali is a city that is unique, but after understanding it, you will feel that it is unique in all aspects.

Everyone has their own reasons for choosing Dali. The reason why I chose Dali is simple and crude, because of its flowers, its snow, its buildings, and its cultural customs, because all of these can be seen and touched.

Choose Dali because it has the warmth of home, dream poems and lazy romance in the distance. Even if you are exhausted, you will be instantly happy when you hear the word Dali.

The snow in Dali is the reason why many people fall in love with the city at first sight, and it is also a memory that many people stop to look back. Cangshan Mountain in Dali has ushered in the snow season again, and "snow appreciation" has become the theme of Dali's visit!

There are two options for enjoying snow in Dali. The first is to enjoy the snow personally, and the second is to enjoy the snow from afar.

The first immersive snow-watching route is mainly on the front line of Cangshan Mountain. The Ximatan Cableway, the longest cableway in Cangshan Mountain, is the viewing route. It ends from the foot of the mountain to the ice-eroded lake at the top of the mountain. You can see Cangshan snow above halfway up the mountain.

The second route for cruise ships to enjoy the snow is the first line of the Erhai Lake. It takes the long line of the Erhai Lake cruise ship-Dali Port-Nanzhao Style Island as the viewing route, or you can drive by yourself on Huanhai East Road to see the wonderful encounter between the 19th peaks of Cangshan Mountain and the snow.

The Ximatan cableway can be the best route for enjoying snow in winter, and no cableway can compare with it.

The snow scenery of the Ximatan Cableway usually takes the mountainside of Cangshan Mountain as the dividing line. It is also the snow line. If the amount of snow is small, the snow will only appear on the top of Cangshan Mountain; if the amount of snow is moderate, the heavy snow will reach the mountainside; If the amount of snow is large, there will be snow in the entire Cangshan Mountain and the ancient city at the foot of the mountain.

No matter whether the amount of snow is large or small, as long as snow falls on Cangshan Mountain, the snow scenery in Ximatan is the most beautiful!

At this time, as long as you take the Cangshan Ximatan Cableway and transfer through Qilongnongchi Station, you can reach the destination of snow appreciation-Cangshan Ximatan Scenic Area.

Take the Ximatan cableway, and you will see the snowy scenery before you reach Ximatan, and the yellow in the land will be replaced by white.

The nearby mountains and ridges in the distance are covered with thick snow, and only the tall fir trees are still strong, standing between the snow white, looking particularly energetic.

The hard pine needles of fir trees are covered with crystal clear ice and snow, and the chill exudes a sense of vitality, which is inexplicably joyful!

Since entering Ximatan, we have entered the core area of the scenery of Cangshan Snow Country. The ice and snow that were originally only available to watch can be enjoyed up close.

The winding plank road is divided into several paths circling among the mountains. Each path can see the beautiful snow scenery. Climb the 3966-meter-high observation platform and look down at the shocking snowy mountain scenery. You feel like you are surrounded by snow scenery!

If the snowy scenery of Cangshan Mountain along the Ximatan cableway is a close-up enjoyment, then taking the Erhai Lake cruise ship and Haidong self-driving tour can be said to be a "artistic tour".

Because these two methods can feel the ultimate sense of tacit understanding and CP between Cangshan Snow and Cangshan, and you can also feel the ultimate charm of "Cangshan is not ink for thousands of years".

The Erhai cruise ship tour starts at 90 a.m., when the sun shines on the entire Cangshan Mountain, mixing with the dazzling white to create a unique color.

Covered by white snow, the mountain peaks are undulating, high and low. Cangshan Mountain appears to be sometimes far and near, and seems to be distant and distant in an ethereal feeling.

The white snow on the top of Cangshan Mountain is distributed flexibly and elegantly. In the dark gaps, it reveals white like stars in the sky. The sun shines on it like diamonds.

The distance between the Erhai cruise ship and Cangshan Mountain is not far or far. This distance can most feel the majestic power of the Cangshan Mountains. It is different from the feeling along the Ximatan cableway. At this time, it seems to have escaped the shackles of Cangshan Mountain and stood on the same level as Cangshan Mountain. Take a panoramic view of Cangshan Mountain.

The distance between Haidong and Cangshan has become a little wider. Driving on the road, you can't feel the oppression of Cangshan at all. You can only feel the endless expanse of Cangshan. The contours of the ridges of Cangshan can no longer feel the sharpness., only the dullness.

Looking from a distance, every scene in Erhai Lake, residential buildings, farmland, and Cangshan seems to have retracted its edges and corners and no longer has the sense of obtrusiveness. Every scene is just right, and everything is the most harmonious appearance in Dali.

The snow season in Cangshan Mountain in Dali has arrived. This guide to enjoying the snow in Cangshan Mountain in different locations and routes will give you different surprises!
