Go to Dali together and feel the charm of a thousand-year-old city!

In Dali, it is no exaggeration to say that you can encounter attractions if you take the wrong way!

In Dali, a landscape city, common ancient towns, flowers of flowers, and lakes are basic standards. They are common in the eyes of local people, while the uncommon ones are rare, just like the snow scenery of Ximatan in Cangshan, Dali.

The Cangshan snow in Ximatan is mysterious and rare among many scenery. Due to its geographical location, not many people have seen it even locally.

It snows basically every year in Cangshan, Dali, but only the snow in Ximatan has the most soul!

The snowy Cangshan Xima Tan is spotless and a little lively, solemn but gentle, and still with a touch of excitement. Two opposing adjectives seem to be used to describe this place at the same time.

Seeing the snow in Cangshan Mountain in Ximatan is better than seeing it once, so if you meet it in Dali, you must not miss it!

Visiting the Erhai Lake is an experience that everyone who comes to Dali will definitely arrange in the guide. Most young people choose to ride around the Erhai Lake or drive themselves, while most older people choose to take a cruise ship to visit the Erhai Lake.

How to choose to travel around the Erhai Lake by car, cycle around the Erhai Lake, or cruise by boat?

Visiting the Erhai Lake, aside from other factors, we only talk about comfort. Traveling the Erhai Lake on a cruise ship is more comfortable than cycling.

The Erhai Lake has a circumference of 116 kilometers. It takes at least one day to travel around by car, let alone cycling. Unless you are a heavy enthusiast who likes cycling, it is not recommended to choose cycling.

On Cangshan Mountain in Dali, there is a bluestone path with a total length of 11.6 kilometers and connecting the north and south. It connects the Gantong Cableway, the Cangshan Ximatan Cableway, and the Zhonghe Cableway. Locals call it the "Jade Belt Yunyou Road".

This road is a benefit for hikers. It passes through the thickest places of Cangshan and Forest Seas, so this road is not extremely hot in summer or severe cold in winter.

The scenery on this road is also very rich, including ancient temples, dense forests, dangerous peaks, clear streams, mountain flowers, wilderness and other scenery.

Yudai Yunyou Road is located halfway up Cangshan Mountain and is relatively parallel to the foot of the mountain and the top of the mountain. Although it winds and spirals among the mountains, it has no steep slopes and does not need to climb. The entire journey is a flat bluestone path, which is effortless.

The rich scenery of Yudai Yunyou Road and the absence of steep slopes throughout the journey make it the most suitable route for hiking in Dali.

Note: Because the starting point and ending point of the Yudai Yunyou Road are halfway up the mountain and connected to the foot of the mountain through the cableway, you need to take the cableway to reach the starting point of the hiking on the Yudai Yunyou Road. If you choose not to take the cableway, you will need to climb and go downhill.

The Cangshan Mountains are long, with obvious ridgelines and steep ravines. However, Cangshan is also a tourist attraction with excellent scenery. You cannot enjoy the beautiful scenery on the mountain without the help of tools. Therefore, the Cangshan Sentong Cableway and the Cangshan Ximatan Cableway have become The best aid for visiting Cangshan.

Gantong Cableway and Cangshan Ximatan Cableway are two cableways that connect different scenic spots. They are different in their locations, and the attractions you can see by taking the cableway are different.

The Gantong cableway is located at the southernmost tip of Cangshan Mountain, connecting the Qingbi River of Cangshan Mountain and the Cangshan Grand Canyon. It is also the southernmost cableway on Yudai Yunyou Road.

The Ximatan Cableway is located in the middle of Cangshan Mountain. The cableway is relatively long, divided into half and full length. It is also the only cableway among the Cangshan Cableway that can reach the top of Cangshan Mountain. It connects Cangshan Ximatan, Qilongnvchi and other attractions.

Dali is a famous historical and cultural city, so there are many ancient cities large and small in Dali, among which Dali Ancient City, Xizhou Ancient Town, Shaxi Ancient Town, Weishan Ancient City, etc. are the most famous.

Dali Ancient City and Xizhou Ancient Town are located in the core scenic belt of Dali, and the ancient town is located in the wilderness between Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain.

Among them, most people have only heard of the ancient city of Dali before they arrived in Dali, but in addition to the ancient city of Dali, Xizhou Ancient Town has the original Bai characteristics of Dali.

Xizhou Ancient Town is a Bai village. The buildings here continue the traditional colors and construction methods of Bai buildings. At the same time, the residents here also retain the Bai living habits.

The fame of Huadian Spring is related to a love legend, and Huadian Spring has become a love destination in the traditional Bai culture.

In this love legend, the male protagonist and female protagonist went through many difficulties and finally died in Huidiquan.

In order to sing praises to this miserable couple, to resist oppression and pursue the spirit of freedom, people regard Butterfly Spring as a sacred place of love.

The Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple are the abbreviation of the Three Pagodas Cultural Tourism Zone of Chongsheng Temple. They are the most unique existence among all the attractions in Dali and the place that cannot be avoided if you want to understand Dali's history in detail.

Chongsheng Temple and the Three Pagodas are the core of the Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas Cultural Tourism Zone, but many people have prejudices against them. They do not simply refer to one place.

Chongsheng Temple is a temple. During the Dali Dynasty, it was still "a royal temple". Nine people in power in the Duan family chose to practice here.

People have a deeper misunderstanding of the three towers. Many people think that it is the name of a tower. In fact, the "three" among the three towers represents the number of towers, which means that there are three towers here.

The styles of the three towers are inconsistent. Only two of them, built in the same period, are similar in appearance. These two towers have no names and are only known to be built in the Song Dynasty.

The largest tower of the three towers is called "Chihiro Tower". The tower is taller and wider than the two smaller towers. This tower was built in the Tang Dynasty.

All three towers are thousand-year-old ancient towers. The oldest one is 1300 years old. These three ancient towers have never collapsed since their completion, but only tilted slightly.

Every summer, there is always a group of people paying attention to the "Cangshan Azalea News".

The Cangshan rhododendrons in summer are the favorite scenery of every flower lover. Photographers and tourists prepare early before the best flowering period every year and pay attention to the flowering of rhododendrons at any time. They can only wait until the rhododendrons bloom at their most brilliant. Know it for a while.

Why did Dali's "Cangshan Azalea News" attract so many people's attention?

This is because Cangshan rhododendrons bloom in the inaccessible bushes above the mountainside of Cangshan Mountain, and the area with the most concentrated rhododendrons is located on the top of Cangshan Mountain. The only means of transportation, the "Cangshan Ximatan Cableway", will be suspended due to strong winds, rain and other weather.

The most important point is that the flowering period of Rhododendron Cangshan is very short. It takes only half a month from budding to fully blooming to withering.

Therefore, various factors combined to create the reputation of "Cangshan Rhododendron".

Dali's vegetable market is very worth visiting because it is the most pyrotechnic place in Dali.

If the coffee shops along the Erhai Lake in Dali and the taverns in the ancient city are representatives of exquisite life, then the vegetable market is a representative of plain life.

Walking into Dali's vegetable market, you will find a variety of novel ingredients and snacks, and you will find that flowers are for eating.

You will find that people here love life and live the most ordinary but enviable warm days when you come and go.

At the beginning, it is said that you can encounter scenic spots even if you take the wrong road in Dali, which also shows that Dali has many and scattered scenic spots. Therefore, in order to facilitate tourists to visit, Dali's bus routes are very urban and have special bus tourist routes.

Dali's extended bus tourist routes connect most scenic spots, and bus routes directly connect Dali High-speed Railway Station, Bus Terminal, etc., which is very convenient.

These ten suggestions for tourism in Dali will ensure that you will not miss the sea of flowers, snow and water of Dali, the romance of Erhai Lake, and the beauty of ancient buildings. In short, you will not miss the most authentic Dali, the most worth seeing Dali.
