Not Xinjiang, but a hidden gem nestled at the foot of the Cangshan Mountains in Dali

Friends thought I went to Xinjiang, but I was actually hiding in Dali. With the Labor Day holiday coming, if you're visiting Dali and don't know where to go, want to avoid the crowds, you might consider this place. A vast green grassland with cows, sheep, deer, alpacas, and other animals to interact with, feed, and pet. Taking photos is also fantastic. It's the Canghai Yunshang Grassland located at the foot of the Cangshan Mountains. 📍Location: Canghai Yunshang Grassland, also known as Cangshan Golf 🎫Ticket: 19.9, can be purchased online in advance 🚗Transportation: Navigate to Canghai Yunshang Grassland, only a 10-minute drive from Dali Ancient Town. You can get there by taxi, self-driving, or electric scooter, and there is a parking lot. ✅Tips 1️⃣It is recommended to buy the 25.9 ticket that includes feeding small animals. Compared to the 19.9 ticket, you get an extra pot of carrots and vegetables to feed the animals, which are free-range, and you can feed and interact with them freely with the carrots. 2️⃣If you come by self-driving or electric scooter, be sure to drive straight in. You will pass through a big gate, but do not stop, keep driving to the navigation point where there is a parking lot. 3️⃣Photo tips: There are various quirky little houses to take pictures of, a white church, vintage cars, and many great photo spots to explore.
