Cangshan Mountain

_CF***32
Cangshan Sentong Cableway, a poetic journey of nature and humanities How can you miss Cangshan when you come to Dali? This time I chose the Sentong Cableway line, which opened the new door of the beauty of Cangshan. This trip is really worth it! - Ticket purchase and transportation: I bought the round-trip ticket of the Sentong cableway online in advance, plus the ticket of Cangshan National Geopark, a total of 110 yuan, which is more convenient and affordable than the on-site purchase. From the ancient city of Dali, take the 4 bus and get off at Guanyintang. Go ahead for about 100 meters, turn right and walk about 1 km to the ropeway station. Although walking this road is a bit tired, but when I think about starting the trip to Cangshan immediately, I am full of expectations. - First experience of the cableway: the sensor cableway is a closed 6-person suspension box, imported equipment from Austria, safe and comfortable to sit on. Just sat on the cableway, as the car slowly rose, the vision gradually opened, and my heart jumped up. On one side is the lush mountains of Cangshan Mountain, full of green eyes, vibrant; on the other side is the magnificent canyon, deep and mysterious, the Bohai Sea and Dali ancient city in the distance are looming, like a light ink landscape painting. The cableway itinerary in just 20 minutes, every second is a visual feast, so shocking! - Explore the attractions along the way: stand on the ropeway, you will see the legendary Zhenxu chess game, as a Jin Yong fan, see this chess game not to mention more excitement, as if crossing the "Tianlong Eight Parts" martial arts world, the mind is full of false bamboo cracking the chess game picture, must take pictures and punch in. Walking along the road, I came to the clear blue stream, the stream was clear, under the sun, shining with a bright light, the stones and water grass under the water were clearly visible, surrounded by green trees, as if entering a paradise. Further forward, the viewing platform of Cangshan Grand Canyon has a great view. Standing there, the mountain wind is glazed, overlooking the continuous mountains of Cangshan Mountain, feeling the ghostly work of nature, and the heart is full of awe. - Yudai Yunyou Road Walk: Continue to walk on Yudai Yunyou Road, this road is often surrounded by clouds, walking on it, really have a feeling of rising clouds and fog. The scenery along the way is beautiful, one side is the steep mountain of Cangshan Mountain, the other side is the deep valley, and you can see the small squirrels jumping in the mountains from time to time, which is particularly interesting. However, there are some uphills on this road. If you bring the elderly and children, you have to reserve more rest time. - Ancient temples: From the Zhenxu chess game down the mountain, about 3 kilometers can reach Jizhaoxuan. This "most beautiful nun" is well-deserved, the yard is full of various meats and flowers, the sun is shining, the yard is full of fragrance. I ate a fast meal here, 20 yuan a person, the food is simple but delicious, everyone is very quiet when eating, can feel the peace of the heart. After eating fast food, go down to Gantong Temple, the ancient temple has a long history, the architecture is simple and elegant, and the cigarettes in the temple make people instantly forget the troubles of the world and immerse themselves in this tranquility and peace. This time, Cangshan Gantong Line tour, not only appreciated the beautiful natural scenery of Cangshan, but also felt the deep historical and cultural heritage. The only fly in the ointment is that the queue time is a bit long. But if you arrange the time reasonably, you can leave early and avoid the peak of the flow of people. I really recommend everyone to come to Dali to take this route, I believe you

Take a tile cat car at the gate of Boai Gate, not the south gate. The sightseeing car took half a journey, there was an explanation, and I sat to Jiang Gongxuan. After listening to the explanation, I did not return to Boai Gate with the car. The tie-dyeing experience is very good. Although the Bai grandmother is not good at Mandarin, she is very patient and looks good.

The Bohai Sea is beautiful, suitable for punching in and taking pictures, and also suitable for relaxing riding. It is very pleasant to ride along the Bohai Ring Road. Longlao Wharf can feed red-billed oysters. Very good experience

A natural scenic area integrating mountains, water, forests and hot springs. I bought a string of eggs for five yuan at the door and processed them for free in the big roll pot. You can also try hot steamed eggs in the ditch next to it. The scenic spot is filled with sulfur. It is very slippery with hot spring water bubble hands. It's worth experiencing.

Heshun Ancient Town

行走在民间的艺术家
Yuan Heshun, meet the purest ancient town time to Tengchong must come to Heshun Ancient Town, really not in vain! 🏮 Historical charm: stepping into the ancient town is like opening a heavy history book. More than 600 years of precipitation, ancient buildings scattered, blue stone roads. Walking in the streets and touching the mottled walls, it seems that you can feel the prosperity of the ancient southern Silk Road. Aisiqi's former residence and Heshun Library, these humanistic landscapes carry the cultural heritage of the ancient town, which makes people unable to help but immerse themselves in the long river of history and savor it carefully. 🌳 Natural scenery: The mountains and rivers are interdependent here, quiet and beautiful. The clear stream passes through the town, and the grandmother who washes by the stream and the children who play in the water constitute a vivid picture of pastoral life. The wild duck lake is sparkling, the wild ducks swim leisurely, and the weeping willows on the shore are swaying with the wind. The green mountains in the distance are rolling and rolling, and the blue sky and white clouds are interesting, and every scenery is so beautiful that it is intoxicating. 🍱 Food experience: Food is an indispensable part of travel, and the food in Heshun Ancient Town also impressed me. Soft musk sweet pine cake, a mouthful, full of the taste of the smooth; the smooth Tengchong bait silk, delicious soup, bullet-tooth bait silk, eat a bowl, the whole body is warm; there are crispy roast pig feet, tender outer and tender inside, with unique simmering water, simply absolutely! Of course, there are many cafes and dessert shops that combine modern elements. When you are tired, you can find a small shop to sit down, have a cup of coffee, and enjoy a moment of tranquility. 🛏 Accommodation experience: I chose to live in a homestay in the ancient town. I opened the window and I could see the antique buildings and quiet streets. The ancient town style is full of it. The owner of the homestay was very enthusiastic. He not only helped me plan the route, but also recommended a lot of local specialties, which made me feel the warmth of home. I fell asleep with the gentle wind at night, and woke up in the morning with the sound of birds. This experience is so beautiful. 💡 Play suggestion: 1. The ancient town ticket is 55 yuan, valid for a week, you can play slowly. If you want to free the ticket, you can enter from the entrance near the Wild Duck Lake, but you can't visit the library and some Zongyu. 2. In the morning, you can go to the morning market, feel the fireworks of the ancient town, and buy fresh local specialties and snacks. 3. In the evening, you can go to the bar to sit and listen to the singing of the resident singer, but pay attention to the bar after 22:30. 4. If you take pictures, wear light colors or ancient costumes is very popular. Recommend several photo spots: Heshun Library, Wild Duck Lake, Heshun Alley, etc. Heshun Ancient Town is not overly commercialized, retaining the purest tranquility and beauty. Here, time seems to slow down, let me find the peace of the heart. If you also want to stay away from the hustle and bustle and feel the quiet years, then don't miss Heshun Ancient Town!

The fourth time I came to Dali, I still feel the scenery of the Bohai Sea. It can calm people down. The scenery is charming. I feel like I am in a different world. I wear more clothes. The sea is still relatively large.

We were really lucky on the mountain climbing day, and the scenery didn't have to be said. But we didn't cap it, and the ropeway was too far after coming down and we didn't go there. And we went in the morning, it was still a bit cold, and we still needed to rent cotton clothes! It is recommended to bring some chocolate and the like, need to replenish energy, better climb
