Tips for travelers who want to explore on foot

Methods, tools and advice for your own exploration

The following suggestions will be helpful for future travels, even trips around the world.

One of the best tools for exploring on your own is maps.me (iPhone/Android [Android can also use OrganicMaps, I use it, it’s cleaner and smaller], both are easy to download).

Download offline maps in advance (for example, Yunnan, dozens of MB in size). The biggest advantage is that all hiking routes in the area will be presented, naturally including the 19 peaks of Cangshan Mountain. This APP uses data from "openstreetmap", so it is universally used in other countries. For example, I have used it in Thailand and Iran. In contrast, two-step roads and other single routes that other people have walked have limitations. Moreover, this app can be run in airplane mode and basically consumes no power (this is very important for self-exploration). In addition, you should prepare additional power supplies, clothes, food, and headlights for backup. If you are negligent, not fully prepared, or think you are good, you are not a suitable person for exploration.

You can hike in Dali. There are many routes in Cangshan Mountain. You can walk around or climb to the top. Recommended: Lanfeng/Sanyangfeng, the most beautiful, both pass by high mountain lakes such as Heilongtan, especially natural. The highest peak, Malong Peak (not easy to reach, you need to turn around), or Xiaocen Peak, which is mostly visited by people, is not very good. If you want to cross several peaks in a row, you need to be extremely cautious. The road to the top of the peak is difficult to recognize in the rainy season and dangerous in the windy season. It is not something that ordinary people can do.

From Liantai Mountain through Muxiangping to the Jinding of Jiuzu Mountain, it is a classic Buddhist pilgrimage route with a clear trajectory.

The scenery of Niaodiao Mountain is nice, but it is a bit internet-famous, and the track is also very clear.

You can hike to Shibao Mountain in Shaxi and Weibao Mountain in Weishan.

If you go to Baoshan, the wild hot springs of Baihualing in Gaoligong Mountain are also good for hiking.

The above tracks are available on map.me and OrganicMaps.

Viki的「大理晓院」传统院落转让

不到500平的院落里

有四间背靠苍山面朝庭院的独立客房

院落空间比较大,是希望客人们不要总待在房子里

院落群生,是我们80/90后对于打开门群居生活的向往

每一寸空间,每一缕阳光,每一声虫鸣鸟叫

恰如微风轻抚苍山山峦的侧影

映出了山幽晓院

“山幽”是晓院设计师对院子的期许

而“晓院”则是女主人对生活的定义

小而美、恰倒好、不喧哗、不炫目

这里有城市里没有的

大自然与山海间的“纯净空间”
