“Cangshan hiking route: If I had to choose only one, I would choose this one.
This is the first hike I took in Cangshan. With so many experiences to choose from these days, it’s easy to overlook this route. But along this route, you’ll discover ancient villages on the Tea Horse Road, the thousand-year-old Nanzhao Ancient City, and real historical sites that few people visit, peaceful and beautiful. Walking on the ancient city wall, you can overlook the whole of Dali. The highest point is the Baiwang Temple, which is part of Dali’s own sacrificial system. On the way down the mountain, continue hiking along the forest path for a pleasant and beautiful experience. ”

If time permits, it is recommended to go in the afternoon, as the scenery at sunset is particularly beautiful.

This is an easy hike where you can enjoy the natural scenery of Cangshan Mountain and the history of Nanzhao Kingdom. This is a classic Cangshan easy hike that is easy for most people to complete.

Difficulty level: Easy (can be completed by children aged 4-5 years and above)
distance: 4-5 km, 2.5-3 hours of hiking

Route highlights:

  • It is relaxing and not tiring, yet you can enjoy the natural forests of Cangshan Mountain, historical relics from the Nanzhao Kingdom period, and the magnificent views of Erhai Lake and the entire Dali Plain.
  • You'll pass through an ancient Tea Horse Road village, and the views of the surrounding fields and mountains are very beautiful.

For many years, I often took my dog ​​for walks in the mountains. He loves nature and gets excited every time we go into the mountains. That's when I decided to start this hiking experience.

1. Time:
Departure in the afternoon (3pm in winter, around 5pm in summer, depending on booking time). This time of departure is rare, as it allows you to enjoy the best views and sunset.

2. Altitude:
It is about 200-300 meters above sea level, but you can see the open view of Erhai Lake and the entire Dali Basin.

3. Iconic Cangshan scenery:
This route captures the natural beauty of Cangshan Mountain and allows you to avoid the more typical Cangshan scenic areas.

4. Tickets:
No tickets are required and there are no additional fees during the trip.

5. Contents:
afternoon tea.

This route really covers many aspects of Dali!

  • Tingming Creek: People still get water here today.
  • history: The ruins of the ancient city of Nanzhao Kingdom.
  • Basin landscape: Overlooking Dali city and surrounding villages from the foot of Cangshan Mountain.
  • Erhai Lake: The unobstructed view of the vast Erhai Lake.
  • temple: The White King's main temple is hidden in the mountains.
  • Tea Horse Road: A little-known section of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road.

We usually start from the village at the foot of the mountain, walk along a section of the ancient Tea Horse Road, and then continue up the mountain through walnut groves and fields. Of course, my dog ​​will tag along for the walk.

Ruins of the Ancient City of Nanzhao <br>Tingming Creek flows down from a mountain at an altitude of 3,600 meters, and the water is cool all year round. After walking for about 10 minutes, you can see the ruins of the ancient city of Nanzhao (built in the Tang Dynasty, the current city was rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty). The view here is wide, and you can see the Erhai Lake, the mountains of Cangshan Mountain, and the wild grass and trees. Such scenery is rare in Cangshan Mountain. Here, you can also learn more about the history of the Nanzhao Kingdom in Dali. This is a great place to watch the sunrise and sunset.

Mountain God Temple <br>Originally a summer palace for the royal family of the Dali Kingdom, this peaceful temple enshrines the patron saint of the Bai people. From the hillside here, you can overlook the entire Dali Basin and the famous Three Pagodas. It is very relaxing to sit under the trees and enjoy the open view.

Tea Horse Road Village <br>This is our last stop, a village that was once a resting point on the Tea Horse Road. Most of the ancient buildings in the village are well preserved, and there are several inns and cafes. Upon arrival, you will see the mountain spring wells that are still in use, the villagers' resting place and the big banyan tree, making you feel as if you have returned to the past.

Other notes:

  • Bring a jacket, a small bottle of water, and wear comfortable hiking shoes.
  • There will be afternoon tea on the hillside with fruits and snacks.

Tip: If you have other good travel experience with other agencies, please recommend it to us and we will share it with travelers. WeChat: lingjiec, Email: lingjiec@yahoo.com (Many of our recommendations, including cancellations, come from travelers’ feedback)

这是我第四次来到大理,必须要说,如果没有苍山徒步之家,我应该做不到一次又一次把大理作为旅行的目的地。当我趟过苍山的小溪在石板上把脚晒干的时候,当我一踩上南诏国遗址天就下起雨的时候,当我坐在伙山吹着风看着太阳一点一点落下去的时候,我就会想,哇这真是美好的一天。

“苍山徒步之家”设计的徒步路线真得绝
看到了麦穗,看到了考古现场
看到了洱海和远处村庄
还有古朴的寺院
登上遗留古遗址的城墙就四脚宽吧
下面就是巨高的大公路我真的是眼花脚抖慢慢挪
最后到了山的一高处
坐下来喝点茶吃点香蕉干补充体力
和来了九年大理的领队小伙子瞎聊
又贴着这条可爱的狗狗看风景
它是我三十多年唯一摸摸摸过的狗狗有狗狗陪着徒步真的太有安全感了
两个半小时下来其实也没多高没多远
回古镇又和其他领队吃简阳羊肉火锅
这段经历很完美了
这都过去两天了,虽然腿还疼但是心中延续着喜悦呀
期待下次和来大理的好朋友再去走一次,反正是爱上了

大理玩了7天最棒的体验之一
1,路线选择的很好,风景很美,又被大自然治愈了。经过凤阳邑,一路可以经过遗址、寺庙、小山脊、森林、一片不知名花田,一路上也可以看到菌子、山茶花、蕨类、曼陀罗、尤加利,各种各样美丽的植物

2,刚开始爬的时候下了点雨,没过多久就看
到了彩虹 ,感受到了来自宇宙的温柔

3,梦露(一只边牧)还有一只村里的狗狗全程陪伴,梦露超级乖,跑到前面后会往后看等我们。特别喜欢看梦露奔向裁缝(领队)的样子,家人般的奔赴,叫人温暖

4,领队裁缝是一个很真诚,很平和的人儿,也会很暖心的帮你拍照、分享茶点、分享有趣的故事;就像老朋友一样一路走一路聊一期一会。
Seeya!

旺季避开游客的正确打开方式

在大理的三天参加了两次徒步活动,越来越觉得这才是旺季避开游客的正确打开方式

导游小赵带着我们从凤阳邑古村出发,沿着草丛间的小路上山,走过大理金刚城的古城墙,在视野最开阔的地方野餐,最后来到南诏遗址避暑宫,感受隐居山林的生活。

大人小孩一路有说有笑地完成了徒步活动,下山的一段石子路稍微有点费脚。当天刚好是火把节,顺路去三月街体验了一下节日气氛。谢谢小赵特意捎了我们一程~

和日剧一样美但比日剧真实

七星体验,五星是不够的!苍山洱海固然美好
更美好的是徒步路线的精心设计,更美好的是红红老板和她的糯米和harry!红红老板是像火锅一样一直欢快的冒着泡的上海姑娘,背着小竹筐带着一大壶热茶和一套功夫茶具,这样我们就可以在山顶看落日的时候喝滇红了

配着视野里波光闪烁的洱海和苍山上镶着金边的白云,有这样的体验,让人感到自己好幸运啊!和日剧一样美但比日剧真实。

美好的一切!

一路有lucky 相伴,一只爱吃蝴
蝶酥的小可爱
一路有领队小姐姐真诚的陪伴和讲解
上一次和闺蜜两个人的旅行还是大学刚毕业的那一年
一场只有我们的短暂快乐时光,一场安安静静的徒步,一切刚刚好

苍山 5KM轻徒步
从凤阳邑村上山,沿着茶马古道,看过白族大宅,路过相传是玄奘的晒经石,在渟溟溪看村民取山泉水。

然后,转野路爬上山,小路两旁有时草比妙妙还高,得护着脸扒开草丛前行;有时小径很窄,一边是杂草覆盖的水沟,一边是山坡,一不小心就会滚下坡了。两只娃倒是很开心,和领队姐姐、同行的两个上海小姐姐混熟悉了,采艾草、灭紫茎泽兰,认识着各种蕨类、花草上山;在山顶吃着好吃的月饼点心、水果,看着一览无余的浩瀚洱海和安静的大理城,太值了!

路过南诏国古城遗址,沿途寻着蘑菇下山,尝了野生金耳(黄木耳),领队聊着来大理后尝试的各种事情,特别有趣!

正如下山路上的那句话:“我可以在大理重新遇见你吗?”我相信来过的人,定回再来!
