Towering above Dali city sits the CangShan mountains. It is a refreshing and wild escape from the city Life. To get up the mountain you have three options - walk - cable car (3 choices) - horse ride Once up, the Jade path is the most popular trail and runs along the middle of the mountain for about 7km, it's generally flat and an easy walk. Rivers, waterfalls, and scenic views can found along the way. A great half day out that renews the freshness of nature. Could be enjoyed by families or serious walkers alike. 💞Reasons to Recommend: squirrels, peacocks, waterfalls 🏖️Ambiance: wilderness and wildlife 🗝️Facilities: toilets and water at each cable car stop 💰Average Price per Person: Park entry 35￥/ cable car 60-80￥ 🕰️Business Hours: 8am - 5pm #mytravelhacks #localguides #familytrip #trip #china #yunnan #dali #cangshan

From the moment I landed in Dali I felt a calm and tranquility flow over me. A peace of mind that I’ve not felt in a long while. It quite literally put a hop in my step as I walked for a short 20 minutes from my accommodation at Lux Tea Horse hotel to the Ancient City. Cultural pride permeates the air in this city. It’s in the food, the people, the architecture, the landscape and the weather is perfect. The people are warm, friendly and accommodating, why wouldn’t they be living here. I spent three days exploring Dali Santorini/Ideal City, Erhai Lake, The Three Pagodas, Ancient City and Cangshan. Nature is my recharge button so I loved being at Cangshan. I just did not have enough time, so another visit is on the horizon for me. #AncientCity #erhailake #Cangshan #ThreePagodas #IdealCity
