In October, in Cangshan, Dali, the weather is cool and the trees are verdant. The fields of Dali are gradually changing from green to golden yellow. The rice in the fields has been bent and is ushering in fruits.

At this time, it is most suitable for Cangshan to pursue autumn, hiking on the jade belt and traveling on the cloud road, overlooking the golden plains of Dali!

Yudai Yunyou Road has a total length of 11.5 kilometers and has three hiking points. The south is the starting point of Gantong Cableway, the middle is Qilongnongchi, and the north is the ending point of Zhonghe Cableway.

There are multiple combination hiking routes on the Yudai Yunyou Road, including 2 full-time routes and 4 half-time routes.

Total journey (11.5 kilometers)

Article 1: Gantong Cableway-Qilongnongchi-Zhonghe Cableway-Down the mountain

Article 2: Zhonghe Cableway-Qilongnongchi-Gantong Cableway-Downhill

half

First article: Gantong Cableway-Qilongnu Pond-Down the mountain (4.5 kilometers)

Article 2: Qilongnu Pond-Gantong Cableway-downhill (4.5 kilometers)

Article 3: Qilongnu Pond-Zhonghe Cableway-Down the mountain (7 kilometers)

Article 4: Zhonghe Cableway-Qilongnu Pond-Down the mountain (7 kilometers)

No matter which route is taken, the scenery is not bad, but it is slightly different. Taking Qilongnu Pond as the midpoint and the 4.5-kilometer walk towards the Gantong Cableway, you can see the unpredictable changes of Cangshan Mountain, with its peaks and peaks towards the Zhonghe Cableway. On the 7-kilometer walk, you can feel the strange rocks of Cangshan Mountain, and this relative view is wider.

In case of showers, you can see dense fog covering the entire top of Cangshan Mountain on the 4.5-kilometer hiking road towards the Gantong cableway, but there is no trace of dense fog in the canyon, and occasionally sunlight passes through.

A 7-kilometer hike to the north, I walk through the forest of forests, encounter strange stone cliffs, shuttle through the dense forest with narrow vision, and encounter the sun from time to time in the cloudy and cloudy Cangshan Mountain. The sun shines brightly on the first kilometer, and the next kilometer. Drizzle drizzling.

The farther you go north, the wider your vision is, gradually revealing the land between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake in Dali. From a distance, the boundary of Erhai Lake is very obvious, with houses arranged neatly and orderly, and iconic buildings dotted in it.

Warm reminder: The weather in Cangshan Mountain in Dali changes greatly. Please bring your own umbrella or raincoat, bring food that can quickly replenish energy, and wear light clothes to travel. It is forbidden to travel beyond the specified range.

Chongsheng Temple Santa Cultural Tourism Area is close to the ancient city of Dali, located in the northwest of the ancient city, 1.5 kilometers away from the ancient city, at the foot of Yingle Peak, one of the eighteen peaks of Cangshan Mountain.

The Chongsheng Temple Santa Cultural Tourism Area mainly displays Dali culture, from architectural relics and cultural relics to architectural culture and sculpture culture, to historical culture and folklore, all of which are displayed here. This is a paradise for understanding Dali culture.

The Chongsheng Temple Three Pagoda Cultural Tourism Area is surrounded by Bai folk houses, leaving a wall to distinguish the boundaries, but as long as you reach nearby, you can see three iconic ancient towers.

The Chongsheng Temple Three Pagoda Cultural Tourism Area is divided into two parts, the front is the Three Pagoda Area, and the back is the Chongsheng Temple Area.

The two areas are harmonious but different. The Santa Area has open terrain and scattered scenic spots. Among them, flowers, trees and grass are extremely rich. In the Chongsheng Temple Area, buildings stand side by side and are arranged in an orderly manner, with a small number of green plants interspersed among them.

The first representative scenic spot in the Santa Area is the three towers that have survived thousands of years of wind, frost, rain and dew. The three towers are distributed in a "three-legged tripod" style. The large tower, Chihiro Tower, is located in the middle, and two small towers guard the two sides. No matter which position you look at, it is majestic and has perfect symmetry.

The second Juying Pond, which applies the "borrowing scenery" technique to the extreme, is a small spring pond shaped like the "Erhai Lake", which clearly and impartially reflects the bodies of the three towers in the distance in the water, making everyone who has seen it. People who have seen it marvel at it.

The third Jianji Bell and Rain Copper Guanyin, which were destroyed in war and rebuilt, are majestic and solemn when viewed from a distance, giving people a sense of "oppression."

The fourth Chongsheng Three Pagoda Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall displays a large number of cultural relics unearthed from the three towers, and these cultural relics confirm that the three towers of Chongsheng Temple have not stayed in the historical stage.

There are many representative attractions in the Chongsheng Temple area. From the "Buddha Capital" plaque in front of Chongsheng Temple to the Wanghai Tower at the highest point of Chongsheng Temple, any building, Buddha statue, and carving that can be seen in this area contains profound culture.

If I have to give examples, I think the most representative ones are the Daxiong Hall, the Great Black Sky Temple, the Guanyin Hall, the Temple of Eminent Monks and the Acuoye Guanyin Pavilion.

The solemnity of the Daxiong Hall is intimidating. The embedded wood carving of "Zhang Shengwen Scroll" not only marvels at the superb craftsmanship of Jianchuan wood carving, but also marvels at the rich culture of Nanzhao Kingdom and Dali Kingdom.

The Temple of Eminent Monk represents the unclear origin of the Duan family, the ruler of Dali State, and Chongsheng Temple in history. Among the 22 rulers, the names of 9 appear in the Temple of Eminent Monk.

The Guanyin statue in Acuoye Guanyin Pavilion makes people sigh at the diversity and uniqueness of Dali culture. The Guanyin statue is unique to Dali. It has a slender waist and shows its feet. It has a male body and a female appearance. It has a kind face, and wears female jewelry such as Yingluo.

Warm reminder: The cultural tourism of the three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple contains the culture from the establishment of Chongsheng Temple during the Nanzhao period to today. More than 1300 years of history and culture gather here, so professional commentators are needed to explain. You cannot have a deep understanding of Dali culture by yourself.

Schedule: Half day

There are two boarding points for Erhai cruise ships, the first is Dali Port Wharf and the second is Taoyuan Wharf. Dali Port Pier leaves at 10:00, Taoyuan Pier leaves at 14:30.

Cruises departing from the two ports have the same tour routes, except for the order of scenic spots. They pass through Shuanglang Town, stop at Nanzhao Style Island, and visit the island.

The biggest attractions of Erhai cruise ships are the cruise ship tea show, the scenery of Canger and the small island of Erhai-Nanzhao Style Island.

When sailing in the Erhai Lake, cruise ships can change from another angle and see the whole picture of Cangshan Mountain from the front, taking a panoramic view of the continuous and majestic posture of Cangshan Mountain and the vastness and tranquility of the Erhai Lake.

The tea performance on the cruise ship allows you to experience the enthusiasm and culture of the Bai people in Dali amidst the sound of silk and bamboo. The lively melody will make the journey easier.

Nanzhao Style Island allows you to experience the "island" style of Dali. The winding paths, quiet environment, unique Dali architecture, and profound Bai culture are all displayed here.

Schedule: Half day

Dali West Lake is located in Eryuan County, and Eryuan County is the source of the Erhai Lake water source in Dali. Therefore, Eryuan West Lake is regarded as an integral part of the Erhai Lake water source.

Eryuan West Lake is a plateau fault lake with an average water depth of 1.8 meters and a maximum depth of 3.3 meters. The lake is connected by large reeds, and many migratory birds inhabit and reproduce here.

The Eryuan West Lake is surrounded by mountains and is located in a flat dam. Around the West Lake, Bai residents have lived here for many years, but those who previously lived here could only rely on boats to enter and exit.

The only way to visit the Erhai Lake and West Lake is to take a wooden boat. Sitting on the wooden boat, the lake wind blows gently past you, the reeds sway gently, the surrounding houses are half-hidden in the reeds, the lake water is crystal clear, and the water grass at the bottom gently sway your waist. There is no noise around, and time stops at this moment.

Boating to the depths of the West Lake, you encountered lake ducks playing, migratory birds flying low, encountered teenagers fishing for water plants, and then returned the same way to see the lotus pond swaying, and people, boats, and scenery seemed to merge into one.

West Lake cuisine is delicious!

There are many varieties of snacks and banquets. Group meals and individual meals can be booked. Dali famous dishes such as rawhide, hot and sour fish, milk fans, sea vegetable soup, etc. Each dish can arouse your cravings.

The taste is delicious, the color is rich, and it is very Dali!

Please keep this guide and visit Dali this National Day!

Take the cableway to Cangshan Mountain to chase autumn, go to the Three Towers of Chongsheng Temple to read Dali culture, take a cruise ship to slowly cruise the Erhai Lake to view the scenery of Canger, go to Eryuan West Lake for boating, and feel the charm of plateau lakes.
