Dali is like a natural dreamland, pulling everyone who comes here to dream together...

Slowly and leisurely shuttle through the streets and alleys of cities and villages, be a romantic idle person, and go find the imaginary Dali, chasing clouds, snow, mountains, water, and flowers.

Dali's cloud has its unique status. I don't know how long ago its legend has spread throughout Dali, and it has become famous on par with Cangshan.

In Dali, chasing clouds is a romantic and leisurely thing. You can observe, admire and shoot clouds every day all year round. For 365 days, you don't repeat yourself every day. This is the clouds of Dali.

Looking at the clouds and jade belts, the clouds in Dali are ever-changing, with thousands of postures. At the edge of Cangshan Mountain and over the Erhai Lake, flowing clouds often surge, and residual clouds float like light smoke or gauze, coming and going without a trace.

In the clear morning, clouds are ethereal and dreamy, seemingly invisible; at noon when the scorching sun is in the sky, clouds condense into one after another, floating in the sky, and change into countless shapes when encountering the wind; the clouds at dusk are short and gorgeous, gathering and quickly dissipating in the afterglow of the sunset.

Dali's clouds are all kinds and diverse, but they don't use any cluster to stay for anyone. Those who love them can only chase after their figures, but they are willing to chase them. This really confirms that "the favored ones are always fearless and cannot get them. Those who can't get them are always in turmoil."

Dali's snow has been famous for ages and is one of Dali's signboards.

Snow in Cangshan adds infinite romance to Dali, and people here seem to have long been accustomed to such romance.

In Dali, snow in Cangshan is an auspicious sign and a limited scenery belonging to Dali's winter and spring seasons.

In the cold winter, the 19th peaks of Cangshan Mountain are covered with snow. Such a scene makes people even more impressed by Cangshan Mountain, another name of Cangshan Mountain.

Hundreds of miles are dotted with blue sky, covered in silver, and the solemn feeling is natural. Under the sunshine, it shines with dazzling light like diamonds, making people feel that Cangshan also has the sacred feeling of a snowy mountain.

Looking from a distance, there are dots of black and brown in the snow white, which are sparse but eye-catching enough.

Take the cableway up Cangshan and reach the snow-covered place-Ximatan in Cangshan. The pure white sky and the fir trees standing in the snow are amazing at a glance.

Ximatan is the best place to chase snow. If it is artistic conception to overlook the Cangshan snow, then visiting Ximatan will experience the grandeur and mystery of the Cangshan snow.

At the top of Cangshan Mountain, white is the main color above the snow line, while below the snow line is a dense and opaque forest. There are two scenery separated by a line, which makes people have to sigh at the magic of Cangshan Mountain.

The snow scenery in Ximatan is very unique, but I don't know how to describe it, but it just feels flexible and spectacular. Although it is not the heroic feeling of thousands of miles of ice and snow, it brings a stronger sense of joy.

The snow scenery in mountains is more beautiful than the snow scenery in plains. The undulating mountains affect the depth of the snow, so some places are very white, and some places are mixed with other colors, so that the snow scenery in Ximatan has other colors.

In March of the spring, the snow on the top of Cangshan Mountain has not yet melted, but the forest below the snow line has turned green again. You will see that the top of Cangshan Mountain is still covered with snow, and the mountainside is already green. The two scenery appear at the same time. It feels extremely romantic together.

Dali's mountains and waters are the most intuitive scenery in Dali. They are also the eternal guardians of Dali. They are the ones who protect Dali's smooth weather and its green mountains and clear waters.

In Dali, the Erhai Lake is the most urban sight that cannot be ignored. The Erhai Lake has nurtured the city, and the city has done its best to protect it.

After thousands of years of development, the Erhai Lake has long been integrated with the city. If you see Dali, you must see the Erhai Lake.

The Erhai Lake is not a sea, but a slightly larger plateau lake. It is shaped like an "ear", so it is named "Er". If there is water, there will be villages. Therefore, there are small fishing villages everywhere along the Erhai Lake, and now it has become a place to enjoy the scenery of the Erhai Lake.

The blue water of the Erhai Lake reflects the blue sky. The shadow-like green mountains and the magical sky and clouds set off each other, turning the Erhai Lake into a fairyland.

The clouds in the sky are ethereal, and the waves on the Erhai Sea are splashing on the shore. If you take a cruise ship, you will see a scene as if stars in the sky are shining in the Erhai Lake.

The farther the cruise ship goes, the more blurred the figures of the city's high-rise buildings become, and finally become the background. The originally majestic Cangshan peaks are now connected and extending to both sides.

As the cruise ship passed by, the calm surface of the Erhai Lake stirred up bursts of breeze and rolled up a long spray of water. Looking towards the edge of the Erhai Lake, in some places, small Bai buildings surrounded the Erhai Lake, and the banks were full of people playing in the water.

Cangshan, another guardian of Dali, is also the city's reliance, not only spiritually, but also geographically.

Why do you say that?

Because the geographical location of Dali is backed by Cangshan Mountain and facing the Erhai Lake, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It has escaped the impact of the war many times, and only then has Dali achieved a harmonious and peaceful native life.

Cangshan Mountain is not only for admiration, but also for viewing and sightseeing. Climbing Cangshan Mountain has become an extremely important thing in Dali, and the scenery of Cangshan Mountain is also impressive and worth visiting.

Cangshan Mountain has 19 peaks and 18 streams. Each of them is stunning in the world. Each has a different scenery. If you want to enjoy the scenery of Cangshan Mountain, you must rely on the cableway. There are three cableways on the 19th peaks of Cangshan Mountain, which are Gantong Cableway, Cangshan Ximatan Grand Cableway and Zhonghe Cableway.

No matter which cableway you choose, you can have a panoramic view of the beauty of Cangshan Mountain, the towering height of Cangshan Mountain, the precipitousness of Cangshan Mountain, and the continuity of Cangshan Mountain.

By choosing the Gantong cableway, you can check in the "most literary temple"-Gantong Temple, feel the depth of the Cangshan Grand Canyon, the clarity and coolness of the Qingbi River, and feel what it means to "the years in the mountains are easy to pass, and the world has been prosperous for thousands of years."

If you choose the Cangshan Ximatan Cableway, you will definitely encounter the most dangerous Cangshan Mountain, the magical Qilongnu Pond, the most magnificent mountain ice-eroded lake scenery, and the most spiritual azalea sea.

Dali's mountains, Dali's water power soothes people's hearts and makes people temporarily forget their troubles!

The flowers in Dali are so beautiful that they will be unforgettable for a long time. Flowers are everywhere from spring to winter!

Flowers bloom in the bright sunshine, on the top of the continuous blue green mountains; in the vast fields; in the water that reflects the sky; in the deep alleys of the ancient city where people are crowded...

Dali is a "mountain city", a "water city" and a "flower city".

In Dali, whether it is wild flowers or flowers planted, people will never forget it and remember it with joy.

Time in Dali is slow and long, so it is suitable for lazy life. Flowers have become a romantic work in this lazy life.

In spring, cherry blossoms bloom in the streets and alleys and in the fields. They are colorful and there is a touch of pink everywhere, making people feel happy to see it.

Braving the spring breeze, people go out of their homes and walk into the blooming spring scenery, go hiking, enjoy flowers, and have picnics, and enjoy the tranquility and tranquility.

In summer, with the background of green, the flowers bloom more beautiful and gorgeous. The Cangshan rhododendrons are also invited to bloom, and the lotus ponds and various flower farms in the wilderness also welcome the most beautiful moments.

Flowers everywhere are inviting to play, especially Cangshan Ximatan. Because it has a short flowering period and blooms above 3000 meters above sea level, it is very worth visiting.

The azaleas in Ximatan grow naturally. Even if there is no interference, the distribution is particularly unique. The most beautiful azaleas bloom around Ximatan. The entire Ximatan is a "sea of flowers" composed of azaleas.

Chrysanthemum in autumn, plum blossoms in winter, and flowers in Dali are everywhere. They open from spring, summer to autumn and winter, spanning the four seasons, bringing infinite "colors" to the city.

In Dali, relax, slow down, and live slowly, chasing clouds, snow, mountains, water, and flowers. You will find that Dali's romance and urban charm are hidden in the four seasons, hidden in the mountains and waters.

Wandering in such scenery, feeling all the objects and scenery with your heart, and falling into a dream happily in the arms of Dali, nothing is unforgettable at this time!
