I recently visited Yunnan and discovered why it is known as the 'Land of Eternal Spring'In China, many provinces are named after the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas on the land, but only Yunnan's clouds come from the sky. People use 'Land of Eternal Spring' to describe this realm. The complex monsoon alternations give the wandering clouds on the plateau the richest and most colorful changes. In the northwest of Yunnan, the coming and going of clouds creates a world of changing light and shadow. - Dali🏯 In Dali, the fixed combination is Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. They are like an inseparable pair, blessing every man and woman who comes here. The ancient architecture and the pure blue sky reflect each other. Strolling by the Erhai Lake, with the breeze on your face, you feel the gifts of nature. Here, you will understand why people say Dali is a place that heals the soul🍃 - Lugu Lake🌊 Yunnan's clouds not only float in the sky but also in the water. If you like tranquility, you can come to Lugu Lake, face the water, watch the white clouds pass by, watch time slip away. The pure lake seems like nature's most perfect palette, with the reflection of the water and the mountains creating an interesting contrast. Walking by the lake, it's like being in a fairy tale world, where the Naxi and Mosuo girls capture everyone's hearts🌸 - Lijiang🌷 Everyone who has been to Lijiang has their own favorite aspect. Wooden buildings and stone paths, flowing water and fresh flowers, but one combination is the most beloved by many, which is the old town and the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Standing at the foot of the snow mountain, time seems to stand still, making you feel peace and happiness🌙 - Kunming✨ The sea of flowers in the Spring City, where the flowers bloom in a riot of colors, each with its own story. Every corner has the warm smiles of people. Here, you will understand the brilliance of life🌺 - Shangri-La⛰️ Shangri-La, first conceived over 80 years ago by a Western writer, in his depiction, there is an eternal land of peace and tranquility among the mountains in the Far East. That plateau seems like the staircase to heaven. The peaks of the snow mountains are shrouded in mist, and the people here, with their Buddhist faith, have souls as pure as snow and live simple and happy lives🏔️ - Yunnan, every step is a poem, every scene is a painting. The nature and culture here blend together, making it a place that captivates the heart. The beauty of Yunnan, like a dream, forever remains in my heart, becoming a precious experience in my life. If you like it here, then while the time is right, take a trip to Yunnan Turn the 'place you long for' into the 'place you have been'.Elijah Perez11
The beauty of Cangshan Mountain in Dali is so surrealI wish to keep time forever for nature🥹 Lost completely in the forest of Cangshan Mountain in Yunnan, who understands? This is one of my favorite hiking trails, of course, the difficulty and challenge of the trail are also particularly great, and the physical fitness requirements are especially high, not for beginners! Wandering through the pine forest, it's not an exaggeration to say the whole setting is like a dream. Staring at the green grass and yellow flowers on the mountainside, I zoned out for a long time, then closed my eyes and tried hard to etch all the scenes I saw into my mind... Further up are alpine lakes and wildflowers and grasses everywhere～ It's so healing! Every second spent in nature is a joy. 'Where time goes, life goes.' I think, spending more time in nature, one can always be true to oneself without wearing a mask.cortexj4racy6kbm

Winter Journey to Cang MountainThe Cang Mountain in Dali in winter, covered in white snow, dressed in silver. I set foot on this mysterious land and began my winter journey. Walking along the mountain road, the scenery in front of me unfolds like a series of paintings. The majestic grandeur of Cang Mountain amazed me, with peaks towering, clouds and mist lingering, as if I were in a fairyland. Along the way, I felt the tranquility and mystery of Cang Mountain. The streams in the mountains have frozen, with crystal clear icicles hanging. The birds in the woods also seem not afraid of the cold, singing happily. Finally, I climbed to the peak of Cang Mountain, overlooking the entire Dali city and Erhai Lake. The beautiful scenery in front of me made me forget my fatigue, and my heart was filled with awe for nature. In the winter of Cang Mountain, I felt the charm and power of nature. This trip will forever remain in my memory.🏔️❄️JenniferThomas456+

Don't come to Dali without going to Cangshan MountainCangshan Mountain Travel Guide Preparation before departure 1. It is recommended to go to bed early and rest well the night before departure, because the tour of Cangshan Mountain takes a long time and requires sufficient physical strength. 2. Prepare necessary items, including mineral water, energy-replenishing food, mobile phone and its spare battery (if you like mobile photography), sun protection items (sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and other coverings, etc.), suitable sports casual shoes, garbage bags, band-aids, Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, napkins or wet wipes, appropriate cash, etc. 3.

Accommodation selection As a tourist city, Dali has a wide range of accommodation options. You can choose to stay in local guesthouses and homestays, which allows you to experience the local culture and non-standard, personalized service experience. Tour route 1. Take the cable car from Zhonghe in the morning, this is the most complete way to go. Walk along the Jade Belt Road to the mid-station of the Seven Dragon Girl Pool of the Xima Tan cable car, and take the second half to the top. After checking in at Xima Tan, take the cable car down to the mid-station again. 2. Walk from the Jade Belt Road to the Gantong cable car to go down the mountain, and continue to Gantong Temple and Jizhao Nunnery after the cable car. The feature of this route is that you can tour Cangshan Mountain in one day. But please note that the amount of exercise will be relatively large in one day, especially the Jade Belt Road is 11 kilometers long, and there are 1200 steps from the Jade Belt Road to the mid-station of Xima Tan. Precautions 1. The Cangshan Mountain tour route has strong ultraviolet rays and consumes a lot of physical energy. Tourists need to take sun protection measures and replenish water to ensure sufficient physical strength. 2. Please comply with the regulations of the scenic area, do not litter, and protect the environment. 3. During the tour, pay attention to safety, comply with regulations, and avoid accidents.

Incredible mountain, fresh air, white clouds, cable car, and wondering view.
Changshan Mountain (park tickets 30¥)Highlights - There are 3 cableways Gantong, Ximatan and Zhonghe. Ximatan is the only one that will take you to the top (we ran out of time, but wished we did this one). Gantong is 75¥ for a return ticket and takes about 10-15mins. Very touristy, not much to see or do at the top, personally wouldn't recommend. Zhonghe- This is a very slow chairlift, takes about 35-40mins, 60¥ return ticket. Far less tourists. We recommend the hike behind the temple. Head to the right for some amazing views (1st 4 photos).
both Ximatan and Gantong ropeways give you wonderful views. take ximatan to go to the highest point. the third, zhonghe, is not available to tourists as of April 2021.wear warm clothes! but if you forget, you can rent a big red coat.
Such a beautiful place- feel like a was having a dream. Great day activity but make sure to bring a rain jacket - the weather can change any minute!
I went in August which meant it was packed with tourists and families. Had to wait in line for about 90 minutes to get onto the Ximatan Gondola. The gondola ride itself is impressive and lasts about 20-30 mins all up (have to take two gondolas to get to the top). It was cloudy at the top but the sun came through for a short while and there was a lovely view. I was encouraged to rent a thick jacket and take oxygen with me - jacket wasn't necessary at all. It was colder than in the city of course but I stayed in a t-shirt most of the time and found my jumper was more than enough for when the cloud got thicker. A jumper and a raincoat/windbreaker kind of top layer should generally be fine in summer, maybe pack a thermal layer if you're worried. As for the oxygen, I used some of it but would have been okay without it. I'm 25 and fit, so didn't feel the effects of thinner air like some older people were. You could buy a bottle to be safe but if you're young and fit you should be okay. Time spent at the top of the mountain was less than two hours - there's a walk up stairs to the glacial lake (I took it slowly) and a forest path you can go through too. Overall, a nice place - would be even better on a clear day but seems pretty hard to come by those when you're up that high!
