Nanjian | A hidden gem for reverse tourism in winter!

When you step into Dali, you will be amazed to find that the earliest cherry blossoms in the world bloom in the cold winter! Every December, the Wuliang Mountain Cherry Blossom Valley in Nanjian County, Dali, is kissed by the spring god. Pink cherry blossoms and green tea gardens embrace each other, and the mountains and fields become a picturesque scene, as if you have stepped into a dreamy anime world, full of romance and healing, making you reluctant to leave. It is worthy of the name "the place where spring arrives first." 🎫 Ticket tips: Usually, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, a ticket costs CNY 50, while in the off-season, it is free. You can arrange your trip accordingly. 🚗 How to get to Cherry Blossom Valley: Driving is the most convenient way. It takes 2.5 to 3 hours from Dali City, with beautiful scenery along the way. If you choose public transportation, you can take a bus from Dali to Nanjian. During the flowering season, there are also direct buses, which are convenient and worry-free. 🌸 Flowering period and photography tips: From early December to January of the following year, the flowering period lasts for nearly a month, which is the best time to enjoy cherry blossoms. The best time for photography is around 4 or 5 pm or 7 or 8 am. In the morning, the mist is lingering, and the aerial photography captures the beauty of the ethereal; at sunset, the afterglow is another warm scene. ✨ Enjoy the cherry blossoms in different areas: The Cherry Blossom Valley is divided into two areas. Area 1 is the favorite of the sunset, with the afterglow outlining the cherry blossoms, which is beautiful; Area 2 is the best place to enjoy the sunrise, with the morning light dyeing the cherry blossoms, which is dreamy. The ticket is valid for both areas, which is a great experience! If you enter the park after 5 pm, you can tell the ticket seller, and you can come back the next day to enjoy the cherry blossoms again. Recommended route: Start from Dali City, head to Wuliang Mountain Cherry Blossom Valley, stroll through Cherry Blossom Garden 1, then go to Area 2 to enjoy the morning scenery, and then return with a heart full of beauty, leaving an unforgettable winter flower trip.
