Songzanlin Temple in ganden, also known as Guihua Temple, is the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple community in Yunnan. Founded in a.d. 1659, it is 5 kilometers away from Zhongdian county, with direct bus service. Tickets 10 yuan. The whole temple imitates the layout of Potala Palace in Lhasa, stacked on the top of the mountain, with extraordinary style. There are oval city walls on the periphery, and the two halls are magnificent. The murals in the temple are brightly colored and beautifully painted, mainly depicting historical allusions and propagating Buddhist teachings.

There are countless snow-capped mountains in Yunnan, such as Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain. It is even more difficult to describe the nameless generation in the snow-capped mountains. However, there is no doubt about the lofty status of the Meili Snow Mountain in Deqin. It is the head of the Eight Immortals in the hearts of Tibetans and has a king's demeanor. There are thirteen peaks in Meili Snow Mountain, and the main peak, Kagebo, is a pyramid-shaped snow mountain, which is known as "the most beautiful mountain in the world". So far, no one has reached the peak of 6470 meters above sea level. Cangshan Erhai Lake, located in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, is a place that ancient and modern tourists yearn for. Yang Sheng 'an, a famous scholar in the Ming Dynasty, described it as "the mountains and Qinghai are blue and half moon" and "looking up at the sky without feeling refreshed, flying over the eaves and climbing over the walls".
Cangshan Mountain, also known as Diancang Mountain, has 19 peaks, with the highest elevation of more than 4,000 meters. Cangshan Mountain has always been famous for its snow, clouds and springs. Cangshan snow, which is not needed after summer, is the most famous of the four scenic spots in Dali. In the spring of March, the top of Diancang Mountain looks crystal-clear and quiet, and it is worthy of being a crystal world. The clouds in Diancang Mountain have different shapes, sometimes as light as smoke, and sometimes as thick as splashing ink. At the turn of summer and autumn, jade-like white clouds appear from time to time on the green mountainside, stretching for hundreds of miles and charming.
On the top of Cangshan Mountain, there are many alpine moraine lakes, surrounded by virgin forests that cover the sky. There are also 18 streams flowing between 19 peaks, nourishing the land on the foothills and dams, and dotted with the scenery of Cangshan Mountain. Cangshan is still the world of flowers. There are not only dozens of rhododendrons here, but also rare hibiscus flowers and hydrangeas-Malik Huaying.
Erhai Lake is a beautiful plateau lake with a long and narrow shape, 40 kilometers long from north to south and an area of about 240 square kilometers. On a calm day, boating in Erhai Lake, the clean and transparent sea surface is like a clear blue sky, giving people a sense of tranquility and distance. In Tuanshan, the southernmost part of Erhai Lake, there is an Erhai Park, which is a good place to enjoy the scenery of Cangshan Erhai Lake.
At the foot of Cangshan Mountain and the shore of Erhai Lake, there is also a famous tourist attraction-butterfly spring. Butterfly spring's fame is related to Xu Xiake's description in his travel notes. He wrote: "There are big trees on the spring. In early April, flowers will be like butterflies, and their wings will be like butterflies. There are also tens of millions of real butterflies, all hooked on their feet, hanging upside down from trees and reaching out to the spring, which are colorful. " It is true that there are countless butterflies coming to this party, and their colors are gorgeous, such as summer. The number of butterflies decreased a few years ago. According to the investigation of relevant parties, the main reason is that the local climate turned to dryness, which led to butterfly migration, and a large number of pesticides were used in rural areas, which accidentally injured many butterfly larvae. However, in recent two or three years, with the gradual restoration of ecological balance and people's conscious protection measures for butterflies, the number of butterflies gathering every year is increasing day by day. Among the three pagodas in Dali, the Great Pagoda, also known as Chihiro Pagoda, is a square brick pagoda with dense eaves, with a total floor of 16. Its shape is similar to the Little Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi 'an, and it is one of the typical pagodas in Tang Dynasty. The tower is hollow, and there were well-shaped stairs for people to climb in ancient times. There is a bronze Jin Peng bird in every corner of the tower, which is said to suppress the water monster in Erhai Lake. Looking eastward from the top of the tower, you can see the scenery of Erhai Lake. Now that the stairs are broken, tourists can't climb to the top of the tower. On the wall in front of the tower, the words "Yongzhen Mountains and Rivers" are engraved in marble, and the font is vigorous and powerful. Two small towers, the south tower and the north tower, which are separated on both sides of the big tower, are both 42 meters high and are a pair of octagonal brick towers, both of which are 10. The three pagodas are integrated, magnificent and have a quaint national style. There are different opinions about the construction dates of these three towers. It is generally believed that Chihiro Pagoda was built in Nanzhao period of Tang Dynasty (823-859 AD). A few years ago, when the tower was repaired, the carbon emission age of the wood in the tower was determined, and the age of the tower was much earlier than that of the Tang Dynasty. However, in terms of economic basis and technical conditions, it was only possible in the late Nanzhao period. The South Tower and the North Tower were added after the restoration of the Great Tower and were built in Song Huizong (A.D.11-125).
In ancient times, building such a tall tower was a very arduous project. Generally, soil is piled up beside the tower to transport building materials. When the tower is higher, the mound is also higher, and the slope is correspondingly lengthened. When the 16 tower with a height of nearly 70 meters was completed, the slope of the mound had extended to Yinqiao Village in Dali, which was called "Taqiao Village" in ancient times.
Because of its high historical, scientific and artistic value, it was declared by the State Council as the first batch of key cultural relics protection units in China. 1975, when the three pagodas were repaired, the tiles outside Chihiro Pagoda were removed, steel hoops were added to the hidden parts of the tower body, and cement slurry was poured into the cracks, thus strengthening the ancient pagoda, repairing the tower gates and restoring the original appearance before the Ming Dynasty. During the maintenance, two batches of cultural relics, including scriptures, scrolls, various Buddha statues and handicrafts, were found in the base of the tower gate of Chihiro Tower. Among them, there is a pure gold Guanyin statue weighing 1 135g. This is the most abundant cultural relic found so far in Nanzhao and Dali periods. Dianchi Lake is located in the southwest of Kunming, with an area of 340 square kilometers, an altitude of 1886 meters, a length of 40 kilometers from north to south, an average width of about 8 kilometers from east to west and an average water depth of about 5.5 meters. It is the sixth largest freshwater lake in China. The scenery here is beautiful and charming, and it is known as a "pearl" on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.
This plateau lake has both the beauty of the lake and the boldness of the sea. The breeze blows gently, the willows on both sides of the strait dance lightly, and the blue waves are like mirrors. It is soft and beautiful; In the storm, the waves are rough and the white waves are sky-high. It's strong. Sailing on the lake, surrounding the lake, famous mountains and scenic spots, lakes and mountains are really beautiful and moving.
There is a Daguanlou Park on the north bank of Dianchi Lake. The Daguanlou in the park is one of the national buildings in China, and it is also a good place to watch Dianchi Lake. Daguanlou is a three-story wooden structure with simple shape. There are three stone pavilions in the lake in front of the building, which are modeled after the scenery set by the three ponds of Hangzhou West Lake. Climbing upstairs and overlooking from the railing, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dianchi Lake and Sleeping Beauty Mountain (Xishan).
Daguanlou is famous to a great extent because there is a pair of long couplets on both sides of its gate, which is known as "the first in ancient and modern times". This couplet was written by Sun Ranweng, a poor scholar in Qing Dynasty. It is *** 180, neat and vigorous, and is known as one of the cultural and artistic treasures of Yunnan Province. Many people who love literature and art in Yunnan Province can recite this famous couplet. This pair of long couplets describes the scenery of Dianchi Lake, depicting the beautiful scenery around Daguanlou like a living picture; The second part of History of Yunnan not only reviews the history of feudal society in Yunnan for thousands of years, but also expresses the development trend that feudal society is bound to decline. Magnificent, full of emotion, and neat rhetoric, strong rhyme, extremes meet, amazing.
It is said that Sun Ranweng was born in a poor family and died of hunger and cold in the end, but the long couplet of Daguanlou written by him has become a precious cultural heritage of our country. The first link of this long link: 500 Li Dianchi Lake, running to the fundus. I was very happy when I was lying on the shore. Look: Shen Jun in the east, supernatural in the west, winding in the north and Wusu in the south; It is better to choose the winner than to board the board. Riding on the crab island and Luozhou, combing in the wind and fog. It is even more beautiful, dotted with some jade feathers and Danxia; Live up to: fragrant rice and clear sand around, hibiscus in September and willow in March. Bottom line: a thousand years ago, keep it in mind. Make the wine empty and sigh who is the hero. Thinking: Louchuan, Zhu Tie, Yu axe, leather bag; Wei Lie played an important role in moving mountains and rivers. Draw a building with a bead curtain, and the volume is not as good as the sunset rain. Then break the disability and pay the smoke; Only win: a few minutes, half a river fishing, two rows of autumn geese, a pillow clearing frost. Tiger Leaping Gorge is located in the southeast of Zhongdian, with a distance of 105km, a total length of 16km and a drop of 2 13m * * 18. This river is held by Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain, and the depth of the canyon at an altitude of 3,900 meters ranks among the highest in the world. Tiger Leaping Gorge is a world-famous grand canyon, which is famous for its spectacular adventure. The cliffs on both sides of the strait are like huge stone gates with fans open, just as the poet Sun Binweng wrote in the poem "Jinsha River", "The axe of the sweet city has no trace, and the plow runs to Xiang Li, and the sky is cut on the first line, and the two mountains are sandwiched." Waves shake the sun, the moon and the vine, sand goes away and thunder beats the daytime, and the gorge turns over from ancient waves, so where can we find the source of the river? "
In the early 1930s, Locke, a well-known scholar of human culture and an American, visited Tiger Leaping Gorge three times, but never came back. He rented an airplane to take an aerial photograph of Tiger Leaping Gorge before he was satisfied. Tiger leaping gorge is full of danger in the world, but it contains a kind of beauty and a breathtaking magnificence. It is this kind of danger that attracts countless tourists from home and abroad to explore here.
Lijiang is located in the northwest of Yunnan Province, nearly 600 kilometers away from Kunming. Due to the special geographical location, diverse climate types and multi-ethnic history, people and animals live in harmony, forming a beautiful scenery of Lijiang, a national key scenic spot.
Old Town of Lijiang, also known as Dayan Town, has the reputation of "Gusu on the Plateau". When these ancient architectural languages died out, they tenaciously supported Naxi people's lives, such as "three squares, one wall, four courtyards and five patios, three drops of water, a flat word, winding paths leading to secluded places, row upon row, carved beams and painted buildings, cubicles, boudoir, cornices and arches". We can't say that this is not a satire on the modern city with "great architectural changes".
In the center of the ancient city, there is a square market with nearly 6 acres of land, surrounded by neat shops, commonly known as "Sifang Street". This is because Lijiang is located at the junction of Yunnan, Sichuan and Kangzang traffic arteries. Since the early Qing Dynasty, business travelers from all directions have come here to trade, making Old Town of Lijiang a major commodity distribution center and handicraft production area in northwest Yunnan. Naxi language calls this place "work book", which means "the place where warehouses gather". Woolen goods from Tibetan areas and mountain products medicinal materials are resold from Lijiang to the mainland.

The first bay of the Yangtze River is located in Shigu Town, 53 kilometers southwest of the county seat. The Jinsha River in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River runs from north to south along the Hengduan Mountains, passes through Shigu Town and turns to the northeast.

The Mosuo nationality still maintains the matriarchal tradition, and the mother occupies a dominant position in the family, so their marriage also maintains a unique traditional style-men don't marry women. Every night, all the adult men go to their lover's house for a tryst, and return to their home to act as uncles the next morning. Their children are raised by the woman, and the man is not responsible. It is worth mentioning that most of their marriages are monogamous, and there is no concept that women are superior to men.
The dining in Lugu Lake Tourist Area is concentrated in Luoshui Village next to Lugu Lake. Generally, hotels will provide food (breakfast is particularly rich, including butter tea, porridge, steamed bread, pickles, shredded bait and so on. And eat whatever you want. Everyone only needs 4 yuan money, and lunch and dinner can be ordered according to their own financial situation). There are also western restaurants, intermediate hotels, flavor cooking and so on. However, it is recommended to visit Mosuo's home and taste pigs.
Due to the traffic jam in Lugu Lake, except Lugu Lake, you can take a pig trough boat to play, and other scenic spots are generally based on your own traffic, but you can also take a bus from Ninglang to Yongning. There are the following means of transportation for reference: Mosuo family means of transportation, such as trucks and tractors; Private buses or public minibuses transport passengers from Ninglang to Lugu Lake; And horses that Mosuo people can rent.
