Geography

Cangshan, the main peak at the southern end of Yunling mountains, is composed of 19 peaks from north to south, starting from Dengchuan in Eryuan in the north and reaching Tianshengqiao in Xiaguan in the south.

The 19 peaks of Cangshan Mountain are majestic and majestic, forming a strong contrast with the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake.

The stream sequence is Xiayi, Wanhua, Yangxi, mangyong, Jinxi, Lingquan, Baishi, Shuangyuan, Yinxian, Meixi, Taoxi, Zhongxi, Lvyu, Longxi, Qingbi, mocan, Tingming and Yangnan.

The magnificent Cangshan Mountain stretches across the territory of Dali. The top of the mountain is covered with snow and silver makeup. It is called "Cangshan snow".

Each of the 19 peaks of Cangshan Mountain is 3500 meters above sea level. The highest peak, Malong peak, is 4122 meters. Due to its high altitude, it is extremely cold at the top of the peak. It is snowy all the year round. It is crystal clear and white in the sun, which is spectacular.

Cangshan snow, which can't be eliminated in summer, is the most famous one. It is said that one year the plague was prevalent at the foot of Cangshan Mountain. Two brothers and sisters drove the God of plague to the top of the mountain with their learned magic skills and buried him in the snow to die of cold.

In order to prevent the God of plague from coming back to life, my sister has become the snow God of snowman peak, Yongzhen Cangshan. The magnificence of Dali mountain and river is inseparable from the snow landscape of Cangshan Mountain.

Yang Sheng'an of the Ming Dynasty said that it was "covered with snow on the top, with white clouds on the hillside, with ingenious craftsmanship, showing its own skills." Huang Hua of the Yuan Dynasty wrote in his poem tablet that it was "a jade dragon hanging on the Guijing platform, with flying snow and wind in the middle of the mountain." in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Lai Yi, the Hanlin scholar who sent the Wuji monk back to Dali, described it as "Yinyan covered with archaic snow, with white stones melting for three thousand autumn." Cangshan snow magnificent, comparable to the Alps.

Landscape overview

Cangshan snow is one of the four famous scenery in Dali, and it is also a unique landscape in Cangshan. In cold winter, there is a hundred miles of sky and snow. In March, silver and jade are still piled above the snow line.

The snow on Malong peak, the highest peak, does not melt all the year round. In midsummer, the hillside is green and dripping, while the cloud is still carrying snow on the peak.

Cangshan's cloud scenery is changeable, among which the most famous are "Wangfu cloud" and "Yudai cloud".

Wangfu cloud often appears at the top of Yuju peak in winter and spring every year. After the appearance of this cloud, the Erhai Lake will be stormy and the fishing boats will not be able to go out to sea. Therefore, Wangfu cloud is also known as "Wudu cloud".

Jade belt cloud is not only charming and moving, but also, according to the Bai People's agricultural proverb, it is an omen of a bumper harvest: "Cangshan is a jade belt, hungry dogs eat white rice.".

Three advantages

Liang Yongning, Professor of Kunming University of science and technology and chief expert of Dali "Shenshi", believes that Cangshan in Dali has three advantages in applying for world-class Geopark:

First, geological advantages. Cangshan Mountain in Dali is a masterpiece of the collision and uplift of Eurasian plate and Indian plate. It has a unique plateau mountain landscape. It is a "natural geological book" that has been bred for more than 2 billion years. It is also the named place of marble and Dali ice age.

Second, there are many scenic spots and the landscape is ornamental, which is of great significance to the popularization of Geosciences and natural science, and has high economic value. For example, Cangshan scenic area has iceberg, ice cellar, horn peak, edge ridge and other various peaks.

Third, biodiversity, the discovery of various endangered animals and plants will play a supporting role in "Shenshi". Cangshan has 2330 species of seed plants belonging to 755 genera of 170 families, Taxus chinensis, 10 species of endangered plants such as Rhododendron flavescens, Chrysanthemum morifolium, Rhododendron coeruleus, Rhododendron sulphureum and Trillium Trillium, more than 170 species of birds and 16 species of national protected animals, including clouded leopard and antelope, which proves the ecological integrity of Cangshan.

Cangshan landscape

Cangshan is not just a mountain. Cangshan is a collection. The so-called Cangshan is actually a carrier of our imagination before we came to Dali. However, Cangshan is undoubtedly the place where everything in Dali began.

Jade belt cloud

The cloud has always been used to wait and see, but the cloud of Dali can be placed in it, so everything we see has an illusory color. But we, actually walked into such unreal.

The season is full of clear water in the cycle. Read the bright autumn, we also want to taste the summer sunshine and abundant rain.

In summer on the plateau, rain comes faster than people think, and often goes farther than our sight.

It's often in the clear sky after rain (the clear sky inlaid with sapphire), in front of Cangshan's green and charming broad chest, we are often lucky to see a milky white cloud belt floating gracefully, just like the jade belt on Cangshan.

The jade belt cloud, the cloud above our heads, the cloud around us, is so far away from us, and makes us so close.

Cut off all the worries behind you, and step on the jade belt road in the floating clouds with light steps. We will enter the cool and clean heaven, where there are waterfalls, flowing springs and winding paths leading to seclusion.

Along the jade belt road covered by jade belt clouds, in the sound of birds and the fragrance of flowers, we walked into the depths of Cangshan Mountain and into the misty clouds.

From one cloud after another, you can enjoy the scenery of yu'er. You can see the green fields and open your mind.

This is the charming charm that seems to exist only in dreams. From different angles, the silver Cang in yu'er presents a very different landscape, which also cleans up our narrow mind.

The clouds are steaming high, while the flowers are fragrant and open around us.

At this time, those strong, transparent and graceful flapping wings, accompanied by the song, flew from the secret place. The nature composed of clouds and flowers gives these life flying characteristics!

Butterfly Spring

Spring and mountain are closely related, mountain is a silent huge individual, and spring is the gibberish of mountain in the secret place. Butterfly spring flows into mountain stream and finally into Erhai Lake, so Erhai Lake should be a huge spring. The language of Erhai Lake is a kind of heavenly sound, which can only be heard by heart. This is the relationship between Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain.

Looking back at the place where the clouds are floating on the sky, azaleas are blooming in the forest, while at the butterfly spring at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, the clear spring is shining, and the color of Banlan has attracted people's eyes. At the bottom of all eyes, it is said that Cangshan's blood is the fate of Erhai Lake.

In the butterfly spring, the clear bottom of the spring is covered with crystal clear pebbles. The gurgling spring is pouring out of the fine white sand, but it will never disturb the peace and thoroughness of this small spring. Those beautiful light, crystal clear bubbles spit out of the water, are not those distant songs about love? A small butterfly spring, hidden in the shade of a tree, reposes the yearning and reverie of many people in the world.

Whirling branches and leaves, vigorous night Acacia stretch out a cool and a group of faint fragrance. The cool acacia tree is still about the hot love story.

Wengu and xialang fell in love with each other as young as us in a long time ago. In Cangshan and Erhai, all the trees heard their songs, and all the birds pecked at their sweet shadows, then they flew and sang. However, there was a gust of wind between Cangshan and Erhai Lake, and the hereditary Lord Yuwang coveted Wengu's beauty

The tragic ending is that people who love each other sink into the pool and die for their love The sun finally tears up the dark clouds, and the light shines on the earth again. A pair of colorful butterflies fly from the deep pool to the height of life, merging with the blue sky and white clouds
