The May Day holiday has finally arrived amid the expectations of the public!

I believe many people have made travel plans for the 5-day long holiday.

Because of the special period, the main theme of May Day tourism is: short-distance off-peak travel.

Yunnan people can no longer have to watch the sea of people during the "Golden Week" and concentrate on watching the scenery!

During the May Day holiday, many key tourist cities and attractions in the province still use methods such as reservations and traffic restrictions to minimize crowd gathering and ensure safety.

Please collect this [Guide to Traveling to Dali Classic Attractions on May Day]. It will allow you to visit Dali without any worries!

Anyone familiar with Dali knows that there are eighteen streams in Dali that originate from Cangshan Mountain and eventually merge into the Erhai Lake. Each stream has its own scenery and style, each with its own heritage and unique characteristics.

Gantong Cableway-Qingbixi is one-eighteenth of the eighteen streams in Cangshan Mountain. The seasons turn around, and Cangshan Mountain is about to welcome the summer with abundant water.

The Cangshan Gantong Cableway-Qingbi River will also soon show the summer scenery of the stream upside down and the winding clear stream.

At this time, it is the alternating season of spring and summer. Take the Gantong cableway into the hinterland of Cangshan Mountain and enjoy the amazing Qingbi Creek of Cangshan Mountain.

Cangshan Qingbixi is one of the classic scenery on Cangshan, and viewing it on foot is the best choice.

Cangshan River flows down from the two peaks, washing out three ponds, upper, middle and lower ponds, which are superimposed on each other. Then the stream is dispersed into streams, tossed along the stone cracks, and finally poured into the Erhai Lake.

Each of the three ponds has different colors and shapes. The water in the lower pond is as clear as jade, and the pebbles in the water are visible.

Zhongtan water hangs on the cliff, and when there is abundant water, a "stream belt" falls from the rock wall.

Shangtan is hidden among the mountains, but it also attracts many people to visit it just to see its style.

Take the cableway to the hinterland of Cangshan Mountain, shuttle through the bluestone paths in the dense forest, quietly and seriously look at the green waters and green mountains in front of you, and admire the unique style of Qingbi Creek.

Starting from May 1, Erhai cruise ships will resume long-term operations.

In short, during the May Day holiday, you can take an Erhai cruise ship to tour the Erhai Lake, enjoy the water and view the mountains, and watch the Bai cultural display on each floor of the cruise ship. The cruise ship does not stop at the scenic spots halfway, and you can view the scenic spots from the cruise ship.

There are two types of cruise ships to choose from for a pan-cruise in the Erhai Lake. The first type is the Erhai Grand cruise ship and the second type is the FRP yacht.

The Erhai Sea Cruise Ship departs from Dali Port Wharf at 10:00 a.m. every day and arrives at Taoyuan Wharf at 12:40 to end the tour.

Depart from [Taoyuan Wharf] at 14:30 pm, arrive at [Caicun Wharf] at 16:20, and arrive at [Dali Port Wharf] at 17:20 to end the tour.

The sailing time of FRP yachts is from 8:30 a.m. to 16:30 p.m. every day, and the cruise time is 1 hour. The place to ride the yachts and the place to get off the yachts are both at the Dali Port Pier.

Riding a cruise ship has one advantage that must be mentioned: to have a panoramic view of Cangshan and see the rippling blue waves of the Erhai Lake.

Before the May Day holiday, it happened that Cangshan was snowing in April. Therefore, on May Day, you can still see the alternate scenery of late spring and early summer by taking a cruise ship on the Erhai Lake, and you can also see the "Cangshan Flying Snow".

The probability of "Cangshan Snow" appearing in Dali during the alternating spring and summer season is extremely small, so such scenery is extremely rare and rare for locals in Dali to see it, so we must seize the opportunity.

Silver flying snow covers the peak of the mountain and is dotted with green green. Dali at this time has a little more spring green and a little less winter orange. Such a stunning and rare scenery is rare for many years!

The three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple are Dali's historical and cultural holy places. Dali's history and culture during important periods meet here, forming a unique and splendid culture.

Dali's ancient architectural culture, tower building culture, and historical development are all clearly presented here.

Chongsheng Temple is one of the famous Nanzhao scenic spots at home and abroad. It is the largest ancient temple in Dali's history. The three pagodas in front of Chongsheng Temple have stood tall here for more than a thousand years.

The current Three Towers of Chongsheng Temple are not only scenic spots, but also important places to experience Dali's traditional culture.

The three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple were once "royal temples", so they all gave people a solemn feeling.

The three towers of Chongsheng Temple are built along the central axis, so when visiting, you can best appreciate its majestic momentum by visiting along the central axis.

The three pagodas are simple and beautifully embossed. No matter which direction you look at it, you can feel the atmosphere of thousands of years of wind and frost.

Looking from a distance, the majestic body stands like a giant at the foot of Cangshan Mountain; looking closer, the details are detailed, and various embossed clearly emerge on the body of the tower. Although it has been influenced through ups and downs, you can still see the superb skills.

Nanzhao built the Grand Bell, Yutong Guanyin Hall, and Chongsheng Temple buildings, each of which is a place that draws on history and culture from different periods of time.

During a May Day tour of the Three Towers of Chongsheng Temple, you must slowly look at every corner. While appreciating the natural scenery, you must not lose the history and culture. After all, it is the soul of the Three Towers of Chongsheng Temple.

During the 5-day holiday on May Day, travel off-peak, avoid the sea of people, and stroll around Dali leisurely!

See clearly the gurgling clear water of the Bixi River, take a boat on the Erhai Lake, view the scenery of the Erhai Lake, slowly visit Chongsheng Temple, and feel the lingering charm of history.
