Dali In-depth One-Day Tour to Cangshan+Erhai Lake+Shuanglang+Xizhou [Ticket&Private Car]

Your journey begins with a pickup from your chosen hotel near the Dali Ancient City at your selected departure time, followed by a drive to the parking lot of Cangshan Mountain, where you need to handle relevant ticket matters by yourself.

(This package excludes a tour guide but includes the admission tickets to the specified Scenic Areas, round-trip transportation and the tickets for Gantong Cableway and Erhai Lake Cruise. )

Cangshan Mountain is located in the western part of Dali City. It is the southern section of the Yunling Range within the Hengduan Mountains, consisting of 19 peaks each exceeding an altitude of 3,000 meters, with the highest peak, Malong Peak, reaching 4,122 meters. Its complex geological structure features a coexistence of glacial relics and marble landscapes, creating the spectacular "Overlapping Greenery of Cangshan" and serving as an ecological barrier on the western Yunnan Plateau, boasting both natural and cultural values.

After visiting Cangshan Mountain, you'll be driven to Xizhou Ancient Town, Shuanglang Ancient Town and Erhai in sequence (includes tickets but excludes tour guides) .

Xizhou Ancient Town lies west of Cangshan Mountain and east of Erhai Lake, renowned for its Bai-style courtyard layouts featuring "three courtyards with one screen wall" and "four courtyards with five skylights." Inside the town, century-old mansions like the Yan Family Courtyard are elaborately carved and painted, while the Inscription Arch in Sifang Street records the town's glorious history in imperial examinations. The rice fields and yellow walls create a picturesque scene, earning it the title of the "Bai Architecture Museum."

Nestled on the northeastern shore of Erhai Lake, Shuanglang Ancient Town is surrounded by mountains and water. The traditional Bai residences, with their green-tiled roofs, white walls, and wooden-carved doors and windows, showcase the essence of architectural art. The town boasts a strong artistic atmosphere, with numerous artist studios gathered here, while still preserving the rustic charm of a fishing village. It is known as the "Artistic Sanctuary" by the shores of Erhai Lake.

Erhai Lake is the second-largest plateau lake in Yunnan Province, shaped like a human ear, with its lake scenery and mountain views complementing each other beautifully. It is hailed as the "Bright Eye of Dali." With its vast waters and winding shoreline, the nineteen peaks of Cangshan Mountain are reflected in the lake, creating the magnificent landscape of "Silver Cangshan and Jade Erhai." As a treasure trove blending nature and culture, Erhai Lake serves multiple functions including water supply, agricultural irrigation, power generation, shipping, and tourism, and stands as the cradle of Bai ethnic culture.

This itinerary is expected to include approximately 5-6 hours of sightseeing at the four scenic areas, without a tour guide.

After the tour, you will be driven back to your original pickup location.
