2025 Nanjian Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#2024Travel Review There are niche attractions such as Nanjian Red Clay Forest and Wuliang Pagoda, which are must-visits for mountaineers. Big surprises, rugged rocks, and breathtaking scenery one after another made me marvel at this land of red uncanny workmanship. The plank road is very well maintained, and climbing the steps is hard but challenging. The earth forests have different shapes, depending on imagination, including gods and emperors, some of which look like the strange stone forests of Turkey. But the weather is more comfortable, not too dry and hot. When I successfully arrived at the Wuliang Pagoda, I really felt a great sense of accomplishment. The white pagoda is beautiful, simple and architecturally aesthetic.

Did you know? Dali next month is a wonderful place where spring comes early! 😜 In mid-December every year, when other places are shivering in the cold winter, Dali is already warm and full of spring, with the breath of spring everywhere. The splendid spring scenery is so tempting! Even if you have to fly 2,500 km to chase a dreamlike cherry blossom rain in winter, it's worth it! 🤩 Here are my 5 favorite winter cherry blossom viewing spots. I'm not hiding them, I'm sharing them all! 👇 ❶ Sanwenbi Village Outside the Good Luck Canteen, there are two cherry blossom trees that are very dense; and the cherry blossom tree opposite the Sunny Western Restaurant (or Huji Hot Pot) is my favorite in Dali! You can sit here comfortably all day long, just looking at it is a great pleasure~😍 ❷ Wuliang Mountain Cherry Blossom Valley It is said that "if you miss the Wuliang Mountain Cherry Blossom Valley, you miss the whole winter". The No. 1 Garden is especially suitable for taking portraits and enjoying the sunset, while the No. 2 Garden is a great place to watch the sunrise. ❸ Dali Ancient City Walk along the main road from the south gate to the north gate, and you will see cherry blossoms all along the way. Against the backdrop of white walls and black tiles, the cherry blossoms are even more charming, and with the Cangshan Mountain as a beautiful background, you can take a picture with a great feeling. ❹ Outside the Tianlong Babu Film City You don't even have to go inside the city, there are tall cherry blossom trees on both sides of the slope at the entrance. It's close to the slope of Dali University, so you can check in together and see enough at once. ❺ Dali Courtyard Central District You can sit on the wall and take beautiful cherry blossom portraits, and you can also take pictures of Erhai Lake, which is really beautiful and photogenic, but there are really a lot of people. And, the best shooting spot for Qingbi Creek Waterfall is nearby. Travel tips✨ In general, the peak bloom period for winter cherry blossoms is from mid-December to the end of the month. So before you leave, be sure to pay attention to the information provided by the locals, so you can meet the most beautiful cherry blossoms perfectly. ✔️ The temperature difference between morning and evening in Dali in winter is huge, so you need to bring a thick coat. And the sun is very strong during the day, so don't forget to apply sunscreen before going out, or you may get sunburned. ✔️ Wuliang Mountain is 2.5 hours away from Dali Ancient City, which is not close, and the place is quite big, so it is better to arrange a separate day to visit. There are also mountain roads on the way, so be sure to drive safely.

When other cities have entered winter, spring here has slowly arrived. When it's snowing heavily elsewhere, flowers here have already bloomed into a sea. In November and December, cherry blossoms across the country are still 'hibernating', but in Nanjian, Dali, the cherry blossoms are creating a stunning spectacle against the natural order. Nanjian, a low-key small county at the southern end of Dali, but it has the only valley in Yunnan full of cherry blossoms. Here, is the tranquil and mysterious realm in Jin Yong's writings The cliffs locked in white fog, the rolling waterfalls hanging in the air like a jade dragon, the statues of fairy sisters in the secret rooms of the caves. The Wuliang Mountain in Jin Yong's writings is a deep valley mystery, which changed Duan Yu's life when he accidentally entered. The martial arts world in the book is not real, and the tranquil and serene Wuliang Mountain is too ethereal, so much so that long after, when people step into here and see the real appearance of this mountain, they suddenly realize that it not only exists in the novel, it is the place where spring arrives the earliest. The ancient saying goes: 'In April, the flowers in the world are fading, but the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are just beginning to bloom.' Now, when the winter snow is fluttering, the cherry blossoms in Nanjian are in full bloom. From late November to mid-December each year, tens of thousands of winter cherry trees planted in the Wuliang Mountain Cherry Blossom Valley are blooming in competition. This is the place where spring arrives the earliest, always surrounded by a faint pink, like a fairyland! At night, you can also stroll among the tea gardens and see the stars and cherry blossoms reflecting each other. The beauty here is actually an accident. 'Intentionally planting tea for ten thousand acres, unintentionally planting flowers for a thousand trees' is the best interpretation of the cherry blossoms in Wuliang Mountain. In fact, the protagonist here is not the cherry blossoms, but the tea trees planted on the mountain. Just because they planted winter cherry to shade the tea trees, they accidentally created a romantic garden in winter. The beauty here is actually just an accident.
