Cangshan Mountain has beautiful scenery, and the snow scenery of the main peak is majestic and spectacular. It is one of the four famous "wind, flowers, snow and moon" sceneries in Dali. There is an 18 kilometer long mountain trail built between the mountainside, which is called Yudai Yunyou Road, overlooking the dalibazi and Erhai scenery. So, how can Cangshan travel? What are the tourism modes of Erhai Lake?
Cangshan strategy
There are two ways to climb Cangshan Mountain. One is cable car, and the other is hiking. When you enter the mountain, you need to charge 40 yuan for the entrance fee. Here's a brief introduction.
1. Cable car climbing
There are three Cableways in Cangshan, namely, Gangtong cableway, Zhonghe cableway and grand cableway. The grand cableway is divided into two sections. The price of the cableway to ximatan is more than 200. And the two small channels are Yudai Yunyou Road, which is halfway up the mountain. The price of Gantong cableway is 80 yuan, and that of Zhonghe cableway is 100 yuan.
There are two climbing trails on the cableway, which is also the Yunyou road to Yudai. It takes about an hour. The Yunyou road to Yudai is about 16 kilometers. It will take a lot of time to walk all the way.
2. Hiking
There are two hiking routes, one is the pan mountain road behind the three pagodas, and the other is an abandoned mountain road near Zhonghe temple.
However, Xiaobian suggests that you should not choose to climb on foot without the guidance of acquaintances. The mountain road is in disrepair for a long time, which is very dangerous. Some of them are seriously injured if they don't take care of their recycling. There are some places where the vegetation grows so long that they are easy to walk. The road is still covered with pine needles, so if you are not prepared, you should not climb, which is really dangerous.
Erhai strategy
Generally, Erhai Lake is a tour around the sea. There are two ways of tour around Erhai Lake, namely, cycling around Erhai Lake and self driving around Erhai Lake. Another way is to take a boat trip to Erhai sea. What are the ways to visit Erhai sea?
1. Cycling around Erhai Lake
Erhai Lake has a good climate and is very suitable for cycling. It is the best place to circumnavigate Erhai Lake from May to November every year. It is usually sunny in the daytime and rainy in the evening. It's 120 kilometers to walk around Erhai Lake. For some professional cyclists or small partners with good endurance, they can play in one day basically, while general small partners are better to arrange two days. It's good to ride and play again. There are very few uphill roads in Erhai. You can go to the double corridor to have a rest and have a look at the scenery.
There are a lot of bike shops near Erhai for rent. The price is about 20-35 yuan a day. The price of professional bikes is 50-100 yuan. Most shops rent cars without deposit and ID card.
When riding, you should take 2-3 bottles of water and food with you. For general tourists, Xiaobian suggests self driving and riding together. If you are tired, you can get on the bus. If you are not tired, you can get off the bike. It's more comfortable.
2. Self driving around Erhai Lake
In fact, the self driving route is similar to the cycling route, but finally you can go to more scenic spots. There are many scenic spots near Erhai lake that are suitable for taking photos, such as Haizhi Park, Xizhou ancient town, Shuanglang town and Haidong road. There are also many car rental stores in Dali, with different prices for different models. The general price is about 300-400 yuan. There is a deposit here. You need to show your driver's license and ID card to pick up the car. Generally, rental car companies require drivers to drive for more than one year, with a deposit of about 1000-5000 yuan, depending on the model. When returning the car, make sure that the oil in the tank is the same as when collecting the car.
3. Erhai Lake upstream
The upper reaches of Erhai Lake are divided into cruise ships and kayaks. The former has a one-way ticket of 142 yuan for a long route. It starts from longkan wharf, passes through Nanzhao style island of Shuanglang, and finally arrives at Taoyuan wharf. The price of the short route is 140 yuan, starting from longkan wharf to Jinsuo island or LUOQUAN Peninsula in Haidong.
