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.

It is recommended to go to Park 2 in the morning and stroll in Park 1 in the afternoon. This is because Park 2 is backlit in the afternoon due to the light, and the shooting effect is not good; while Park 1 is suitable for light all day long, and you can also encounter the beautiful sunset in the evening. 🌸Winter cherry blossoms bloom in December, and the flowering period is expected to last until January of the following year, adding a touch of gorgeous color to winter. 🌸If you have a drone, be sure to bring it. Looking down from the air, the beauty of Cherry Blossom Valley is even more shocking. Park 1 and Park 2 face each other across the valley, and the aerial photography distance is moderate. No matter which park you take off from, you can capture beautiful pictures. 🗓Travel itinerary: 1️⃣ If you are short on time, you can choose to go back and forth on the same day. Set off in the morning, indulge in the beauty of Park 2 in the morning, stroll in Park 1 in the afternoon to enjoy the cherry blossoms, and bring back full of good memories when the sun sets

1. Flowering period: The flowering period of Wuliang Mountain Cherry Blossom Valley is generally half a month after December 15. 2. Tickets: Tickets are usually charged at CNY 50 during the cherry blossom season, and free at other times. 3. Transportation: Self-driving is recommended, which takes about 2.5 to 3 hours from Dali City. During the cherry blossom season, there are direct buses to the Cherry Blossom Valley, or you can take a bus from Dali City to Nanjian. Park introduction: There are currently three parks in the Cherry Blossom Valley. Park 1: Mingying Park It is suitable to enter at around 3 pm, when there are relatively more tourists, but the walking distance is not far. The classic shooting spots are all near the [Lancangtai] viewing platform, where the cherry blossom trees are very suitable for taking pictures, and you can take many beautiful photos. As long as you observe carefully, you can find many unique shooting angles. Park 2: Dreamland It is suitable to go before 8 am, where the tea gardens are more layered, and you can find many different spots, and there are spots where you can see Park 1 from a distance. Park 3: Diecai Park There are basically no people in the morning, and you can see the sunrise. The cherry blossoms are in a relatively low position, and you can see Park 1 and Park 2 from a distance. Due to the long walking distance, you need to drive in. There is a spot where you can take a picture of being surrounded by cherry blossom trees, which requires the photographer to climb to the side tea garden and shoot with a telephoto lens. Travel tips: 1. It takes three hours to drive from Dali, and it will be a little rushed to go back and forth on the same day. It is recommended to stay at least one night, so that it will be more convenient to shoot the sunrise and morning fog the next day. 2. The temperature in the mountains is relatively low, so be sure to bring warm clothes. 3. When shooting the scenery of the tea mountain, try to avoid noon. Because the light is too strong at this time, the tea leaves will reflect light, resulting in a dead white picture. It is easier to take wonderful photos when the light is softer in the morning or afternoon. 4. It is best to prepare some dry food by yourself, as there is relatively little food on the mountain, and the choices of ordering food in farmhouses are also relatively limited.

While the north of China is still covered in snow in December, Wuliang Mountain in Dali, Yunnan, is already enjoying the spring. The 2,000 mu tea mountain is like a pink ocean, with cherry blossoms in full bloom. It is known as "the first place to welcome spring every year." In the past, the fairy sister in Jin Yong's novel lived here, probably because she was attracted by the picturesque scenery. Every morning, the sun rises, and the soft light shines on the cherry blossoms and tea trees. The scene is so beautiful that it makes people feel like they are in a fairyland. 📅 Best time to visit: Mid to late December 💰 Ticket price: Free on normal days, CNY 50 per person during the cherry blossom season 🚗 Transportation: Self-driving is recommended.

Dali has been in my heart for many years🌸Sakura blossoms in winter Finally met in the last month of 2024‼ ️ Weekend Special Forces Departure from Shanghai 2,000 kilometers flight ➕5 hours self-driving All the fatigue disappeared the moment I saw the cherry blossoms❗️ It’s so beautiful‼ ️‼ ️ The plan is to take photos of Park No. 1 on the first day (smooth light in the afternoon) Photographed Garden No. 2 early the next morning But there are really a lot of people on weekends Arrived at 1:30 pm, there was a long traffic jam near the entrance. Because our B&B is booked in Park No. 2 So we can only park the car at the B&B first and then walk to Park No. 1 But after actually walking to the scenic spot and the crowd dispersed, I don’t feel like people are following the crowd anymore The further you go up the mountain, the fewer people there are. You can always find many special angles This set of photos were all taken in No. 1 Park There are still many things that have not been sorted out (I only slept for 5 hours near Kunming Airport the night before and I was really tired💤... I will sort it out slowly when I get back to Shanghai)

In early winter, I set off on a journey to Wuliang Mountain Cherry Blossom Valley in Nanjian. Although it was already winter, the cherry blossoms here were blooming as brilliantly as in spring, as if nature had deliberately added a touch of spring to the winter. When I arrived at the Cherry Blossom Valley, the sun was shining and the breeze was gentle. The cherry trees were scattered among the tea gardens, and the pink petals were particularly dazzling in the sunlight. I walked along the winding path, step by step, into this pink sea of flowers. The soil under my feet was soft, and occasionally I could see a few green tea trees poking their heads out of the soil, forming an interesting contrast with the surrounding cherry blossoms. Walking in the cherry blossom forest, I felt as if I was in a dream world. Every gust of wind would bring down a shower of petals, dancing in the air before gently falling on my shoulders and hair. I reached out and caught a falling petal, which trembled gently on my fingertips, as if telling the story of spring. In addition to the cherry blossoms, the tea gardens in the Cherry Blossom Valley are also a unique sight. The lush tea trees form a stark contrast with the pink cherry blossoms. I walked into the tea garden and observed the tea trees up close. Each tea tree exuded a faint tea fragrance, intoxicating me. I imagined what kind of taste feast would be created when these tea leaves met the cherry blossoms. In the depths of the Cherry Blossom Valley, I met a local tea farmer. He warmly invited me to taste the cherry blossom tea he had made himself. The tea was filled with the fragrance of cherry blossoms, sweet and lingering. At that moment, I felt a wonderful connection with the land, the cherry blossoms, and the tea farmer, feeling the gift of nature and the warmth between people. As the sun gradually set, the Cherry Blossom Valley was bathed in a golden glow. I stood on the viewing platform, overlooking the entire Cherry Blossom Valley. At this moment, the afterglow of the sunset filled the entire valley, and the cherry trees looked even more beautiful in the golden sunlight. I pressed the shutter and captured the beauty of this moment.
