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

#April Good Places 2025 There are countless mountains in Dali, Yunnan Province, including a cherry blossom valley. Located in Wuliang Town, Nanjian County, Dali Prefecture, the cherry blossoms of the Wuliang Mountain Cherry Blossom Valley are open among the tea mountains. Note that Yunnan is relatively warm like spring all year round, so in December and January you can already have cherry blossoms to see, the scene of spring. The cherry blossoms are blooming among the tea trees, and the light pink and turquoise are intertwined to create a dreamlike natural painting of flowers. You can ask a photographer to help you shoot, and visitors can enjoy the natural beauty and poetic romantic atmosphere of cherry blossoms and tea.

#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.

📍Main flower sea attractions: 🌸Wuliang Mountain Cherry Blossom Valley: Located in Nanjian County, Dali Prefecture, the thousand-acre tea garden and ten thousand cherry blossoms complement each other, creating a dreamlike picture, making it an excellent place to enjoy cherry blossoms in winter. 🌸Longkan Wharf: When the weather permits, you can watch the sunrise here, which is a romantic spot in the sea of flowers in Dali. 🌺Panxi S Bay: Known for its ultimate romance and beautiful photo effects, it is a must-visit place for taking photos. · Xizhou Ancient Town: The literary and simple Bai market and the wind-blown wheat waves complement each other, providing visitors with a unique cultural experience. 🌼Flower types and features: 🌺Different types of flowers bloom in different seasons in Dali Flower Sea, such as rapeseed flowers, cherry blossoms, rhododendrons, etc., each with its own characteristics. 💐The rapeseed flower sea is golden, and it complements the distant scenery, such as the Three Pagodas, snow-capped mountains, etc., forming a beautiful picture. 💐Rhododendrons bloom on both sides of the Maxiang Highway, forming a spectacular sea of rhododendrons. 📖Travel experience: 🌷Visitors can stroll in the sea of flowers, feel the fragrance and beauty of the flowers, and capture unforgettable moments. 🌹In addition to enjoying the flowers, you can also taste local delicacies, such as "Nanjian Jumping Dish" banquet, barbecue, etc., to add fun to the trip. 🪻Some flower sea attractions also provide travel photography services, allowing visitors to enjoy the flowers and leave beautiful memories.

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.

Recently, my bestie recommended that I try this Jincui Xiaoxiandan, which can effectively increase immunity. The Omega-3 in it can also help reduce muscle loss and promote muscle recovery. It can also improve skin, dry eyes and other problems. The most important thing is that this fish oil is individually packaged in a light-proof package with small particles, which is very convenient to carry when going out. The small particles can be poured directly into the mouth and eaten, and it does not taste fishy at all. The purity of the fish oil has reached 97%! After eating it for a while, I feel more energetic when going out, and even my skin has improved a lot✌️ 🍜【Food】 You can bring some dry food and water with you, as there are not many restaurants in the scenic area. 🏠【Accommodation】 There are several homestays in the scenic area, and the conditions are average. If you have enough time to travel for 2 days, you can choose to stay on your own.
