The tranquil and mysterious realm in Jin Yong's writings - Yunnan·Dali, the valley of cherry blossoms in winter
When other cities have entered winter, spring here has slowly arrived. When it's snowing heavily elsewhere, flowers here have already bloomed into a sea. In November and December, cherry blossoms across the country are still 'hibernating', but in Nanjian, Dali, the cherry blossoms are creating a stunning spectacle against the natural order. Nanjian, a low-key small county at the southern end of Dali, but it has the only valley in Yunnan full of cherry blossoms.
Here, is the tranquil and mysterious realm in Jin Yong's writings
The cliffs locked in white fog, the rolling waterfalls hanging in the air like a jade dragon, the statues of fairy sisters in the secret rooms of the caves. The Wuliang Mountain in Jin Yong's writings is a deep valley mystery, which changed Duan Yu's life when he accidentally entered. The martial arts world in the book is not real, and the tranquil and serene Wuliang Mountain is too ethereal, so much so that long after, when people step into here and see the real appearance of this mountain, they suddenly realize that it not only exists in the novel, it is the place where spring arrives the earliest.
The ancient saying goes: 'In April, the flowers in the world are fading, but the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are just beginning to bloom.' Now, when the winter snow is fluttering, the cherry blossoms in Nanjian are in full bloom. From late November to mid-December each year, tens of thousands of winter cherry trees planted in the Wuliang Mountain Cherry Blossom Valley are blooming in competition. This is the place where spring arrives the earliest, always surrounded by a faint pink, like a fairyland! At night, you can also stroll among the tea gardens and see the stars and cherry blossoms reflecting each other. The beauty here is actually an accident. 'Intentionally planting tea for ten thousand acres, unintentionally planting flowers for a thousand trees' is the best interpretation of the cherry blossoms in Wuliang Mountain. In fact, the protagonist here is not the cherry blossoms, but the tea trees planted on the mountain. Just because they planted winter cherry to shade the tea trees, they accidentally created a romantic garden in winter. The beauty here is actually just an accident.

The sun shines over the earth forest in Nanjian
A few years ago, when I went to southeast Yunnan, the only place I missed was the Yuanmou Earth Forest, which I regretted for a long time. This time, when I passed by Nanjian, I finally made up for the lesson of the earth forest. Compared with the stone forest, the shape and texture of the earth forest may be a bit inferior, but it has color. The various colored metal minerals contained in the soil will shine under the sun.
When I arrived, the weather was still relatively cloudy. When I walked to the viewing platform opposite the Wuliang Pagoda, the clouds opened instantly, and the sun spilled over the earth, and the earth forest suddenly brightened. It's really a burst of character!

Travel and photo guide
The flowering period of Wuliang Mountain is in mid to late December, and the flowers are currently in full bloom
There are 2 parks in total, Area 1 is for taking sunset photos, the tea field has large gaps for easy entry into the tea field and taking photos with cherry blossoms, Area 2 is for taking sunrise photos, the cherry blossoms grow more lush and dense. Most of my photos were taken in Area 2.

Unknowingly, winter tourism has gradually begun. Many people will choose to go to the snowy north to see the snow, but there will be people who are afraid of cold. They dont know where to go. In fact, the winter cherry blossoms in Dali in December have quietly bloomed. A pink sea is especially suitable for taking pictures!
The place I went to is called Wuliang Mountain. It is about three and a half hours drive from Dali. Every year from the end of November to the beginning of December, the cherry blossoms on a hillside are all open, no worse than Japanese cherry blossoms. Hanfu to take pictures can't be even more!
Tickets plus parking fee: RMB 10, special conscience price, but the mountain road in the past is not easy to drive, it is recommended to charter from Dali or take public transportation.
Dali's Wuliang Mountain is the earliest place to arrive in spring. China's most beautiful winter cherry blossoms, the cherry blossom valley is a faint pink, romantic, like a fairyland.
The winter cherry blossoms are scattered between the tea hills, and the photos can be said to be super nice.
