Zhaotong - February 2024 latest travel guide for Dashanbao

★There is no admission fee for Dashanbao, only a transportation fee for the scenic area. ★The fare from the visitor center to Dahai Zi (Black-necked Crane) is 68 yuan (round trip), and from the visitor center to Jigong Mountain (including the glass plank road) is 98 yuan (round trip). To enter the glass plank road, you need to show the 98 yuan scenic area transportation ticket. There is no discount for purchasing both, and the scenic area transportation ticket is only valid for the day. ★The scenic area transportation basically departs in a rolling manner, there is no limit to the departure frequency. In the afternoon, I was alone on the bus, didn't wait too long, and still went to the glass plank road. ★The ticket has the visitor center's phone number. The latest time for the scenic area transportation to stop is 6:30 pm, but you can call to arrange for a pick-up (for example, if you watch the sunset on Jigong Mountain too late). This is a promise from the scenic area, but I haven't tried it. ★The scenery of the Jigong Mountain hiking plank road is good. The horse riding road and the hiking plank road are two lines, the former is much closer than the latter. I walked the hiking plank road on the way there (taking pictures while walking, about 1 and a half hours to the end), and walked the horse riding road on the way back (about half an hour on foot), the viewing angles are different. ★Overall, the scenery of Dashanbao is magnificent and domineering, worth a visit! The dance of the Black-necked Crane depends on luck, and the feeding time is currently not fixed! ★Drones are not allowed in the Black-necked Crane viewing area, but they can fly on Jigong Mountain. However, the wind is too strong to fly.
