Dali Cangshan Shimenguan｜A small secret place in the deep mountains and valleys

A small secret place hidden in the west slope of Cangshan Mountain in Dali, with rare beauty In Yangbi, the hometown of walnuts, which is only an hour's drive from Dali, there is a niche secret place that tourists have never heard of - Shimenguan. There is a beautiful scenery different from the eastern slope of Cangshan Mountain, a miracle of nature❤️ Shimen Pass is known as the "Gateway to Cangshan Mountain" and is a rare form formed by billions of years of geographical changes. The canyon is deep and narrow, with mountains on both sides rising from the ground, towering and steep, like two huge stone gates guarding the main traffic routes in and out of Cangshan Mountain, which is very shocking. There are few tourists in the scenic area. It is ethereal, wild and green, like a fairyland isolated from the world. It feels great to walk through the deep mountains and valleys. On the way up the mountain, the towering rock walls make people marvel at the wonders of nature. The air is fresh, the body and mind are refreshed, and the trees are lush and green. It is the rainy season in Dali, the water is abundant, and the waterfalls and springs are roaring, which is very magnificent. Even though I have been to Shangri-La and Daocheng Yading, I still think Shimenguan is super beautiful~ Navigation: Dali Cangshan World Geopark Shimenguan Scenic Area 🎫Tickets: You can check online (free tickets for those under 1.4 meters) 🕰️Business hours: 08:30-17:00 🚘Transportation: Kunming Self-Driving 4h High-speed rail (40 minutes' drive from Dali Station to the scenic spot 🏯Accommodation: There are 100 rooms to choose from in the scenic area, including two hot spring tickets Those who do not stay at the hotel can purchase hot spring tickets by themselves: 116 yuan/person, 76 yuan/person for children (free of charge for children under 1.2 years old) Neighborhood Yangbi is not only Shimen Pass, but also the world's walnut town that 90% of people don't know about.
