Seeking the Touch of the Soul: A Tranquil Journey to Dashanbao in Yunnan
Dashanbao, this name might not pique your interest when you hear it for the first time, but once you truly step into this mysterious land located in Zhaotong City, Yunnan Province, you will be deeply attracted by its unique scenery. The charm of Dashanbao lies not only in its majestic natural landscapes but also in the unpredictable sea of clouds. However, to appreciate this stunning sea of clouds, the choice of weather is crucial. On clear days, the sea of clouds is poetic and picturesque, dreamlike and fantastical, as if you are in a fairyland; but once the weather turns poor, the sea of clouds hides behind the layers of clouds, elusive to the eye.
On this mountain, there lives a group of hardworking herders, who, along with cattle, sheep, and horses, perform a harmonious symphony of nature. You can see them grazing leisurely, with the cattle, sheep, and horses wandering freely on the slopes, while the adorable little black pigs play in the woods. For those who love small animals, this is undoubtedly a paradise. You can observe them up close, feel their vivacity and cuteness, and let your soul relax and be greatly pleased.
The beauty of Dashanbao is not just a momentary wonder, but a lasting touch to the soul. Here, you can put aside the noise and busyness of the city, and quietly appreciate the gifts of nature. A day's time may not be enough for you to fully appreciate all the charms of Dashanbao, but it is enough to leave a deep impression in your heart.
The most low-key C-position city must be Zhaotong in Yunnan, right?
Coming to Zhaotong, Yunnan, I can say it was the closest I've ever been to the clouds.
I could even touch them with my hands☁️
In the morning, I first went to the glass plank road in Dashanbao Scenic Area.
At that time, the clouds were still under my feet.
Later, I chose a horse🐎 to take me to see the more beautiful sea of clouds in the distance.
Facing the clouds and following the green grassland, I arrived at Jigong Mountain.
Here, the view is wide, and there are herds of cattle and sheep.
Following the plank road, you can also appreciate the steepness of the grassland cliffs.
There is also a plank road built on the middle ridge.
Looking from the adjacent ridge, it really looks like a road in the sky, so beautiful.
After I crossed the mountain stream, I came to the main observation deck of Jigong Mountain, and there's no need to worry about taking photos, it's very sturdy.
🌇In the evening, the old city area near Zhaotong's steep streets has many old buildings, and with Zhaotong's unique sloped roads📷, no matter how you take photos, they look good~!
If the weather is good and there's a bit of sunset, it's even more beautiful.
The sunset will tell you that the warmth of the fireworks doesn't need any filters.
The most unforgettable things for me are Zhaotong's baked potatoes that you eat with the skin, a bowl of mutton noodles for ten yuan full of meat, and Zhaotong barbecue.
If you come, you must not miss it🌈
Tracing the plateau elf Black-necked Crane - Zhaotong's kebabs and Gastrodia chicken soup
The plateau sea, the underestimated Zhaotong, it's good in this way, it's preserved very primitively. The advantage of being led by villagers is that you can drive by yourself and stop to appreciate and discover at any time. The scenic area bus Dahaizi 68, Jigongshan 98, can only be point-to-point, and many unexpected surprises will be missed on the way.
There are 15 kinds of cranes in the world, and the Black-necked Crane is the only one on the plateau. In winter, they come to Dashanbao in Zhaotong, and in March and April, they fly back to the grassland wetlands in western Sichuan and Tibet. Haha, the elegant fairy who loves the blue sky and white clouds!
The three-tube kebabs in Zhaotong are more delicious than those in Ma's, and the Gastrodia ham chicken in Qionghuayuan is delicious.

No traffic jams, no queues, cheap prices, pleasant weather, beautiful scenery, and plenty of food.
🎒Preparation: The highest temperature in Zhaotong during the Spring Festival is 19°, and the lowest is 2 degrees. There is a large temperature difference between morning and evening, so it is recommended to prepare thin inner wear and windproof thick jackets.

Dashanbao Black Neck Crane Nature Reserve Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Big Mountain Bag is a place for all seasons
The climate in Big Mountain Bag in Zhaotong, Yunnan is unpredictable. In a single day, you can experience fog, rain, and snow, as well as the rainbow that appears after the snow, which is colorful. The weather in Big Mountain Bag changes rapidly. Yesterday it was still sunny and sunny. Overnight, the temperature dropped sharply. The next day it seemed to come to another world. When you wake up from your dream, the window is already 'Morning silver threads hang on branches', like a fairy tale world.
I saw the black-necked crane foraging in the snow in the mountains of Zhaotong!
I traveled thousands of miles to see the black-necked crane in the mountains of Zhaotong, Yunnan~~
Someone even bought a telephoto lens specifically. Because it can only be shot from a distance, I found that the lens is still not enough when I use it
The black-necked crane is a national first-class protected animal. Local materials show that there are only more than 8,000 in the world (a documentary a few days ago said that there are now 15,000 in the world), and there are more than 1,800 in the mountains of Zhaotong, which is the place with the most black-necked cranes in the world.
These black-necked cranes fly from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the mountains of Zhaotong to overwinter every November, and fly back before March of the following year. People say that these black-necked cranes usually fall in love in the mountains, and reproduce offspring after breeding on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
The black-necked crane has several gathering points in the mountains. At 11 o'clock every day and 1 o'clock in the afternoon, workers will specifically feed them into the mountains. Therefore, during these two time periods, the black-necked cranes are the most concentrated.
Although I can't shoot the black-necked cranes by the water at close range, I happened to encounter a few black-necked cranes foraging in the snow on the mountain on the way back, very close to the roadside, which is still very lucky
In Yunnan, the geographical concept of northeastern Yunnan, as long as you look at the map, it is understood to be part of Zhaotong City and Qujing City.
There is a little secret in Zhaotong - Dashanbao, where there is the sea of Jigong Mountain, the black-necked crane with the sea, and the scenery is excellent. The following is a self-driving road book for Chengdu and Chongqing.
Self-driving route: Chongqing Chengdu is the first to go into the high-speed highway, and the inner river to Yibin Expressway to Yibin (the lunch can be arranged in the inner river, and the squid museum is delicious not far from the lower crossing of Neijiang Expressway). After going to Yibin, continue to go to Yunnan. After passing through Shuifu County in Yunnan Province (the location of the Grand Canyon in the west, the hot springs) is a pseudo-high speed of more than 80KM. After the walk, it will go to Zhaotong. Generally, it takes 6 from Chongqing to Zhaotong. Many hours. The next morning, I will take the 80KM Panshan Road from Zhaotong to Dashanbao, Zhuquan Road---Old Town----(All the way to ask)-----Dashanbao, this section is relatively narrow, sometimes I also have to encounter foggy weather. Generally, after going to Dashanbao Township, I will drive to the sea to see the black-necked crane. After reading it, I will return to Dashanbao Township for lunch. I will take another road to the Flea River after dinner. I will not let the car go here. Yes, you can walk 3KM to the Jigong Mountain Scenic Area, or you can ride a horse for 15 yuan one way. After enjoying the clouds in Jigong Mountain, you can return to Zhaotong. Back to Zhaotong is basically 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening.

Zhaotong - February 2024 latest travel guide for Dashanbao
★There is no admission fee for Dashanbao, only a transportation fee for the scenic area.
★The fare from the visitor center to Dahai Zi (Black-necked Crane) is 68 yuan (round trip), and from the visitor center to Jigong Mountain (including the glass plank road) is 98 yuan (round trip). To enter the glass plank road, you need to show the 98 yuan scenic area transportation ticket. There is no discount for purchasing both, and the scenic area transportation ticket is only valid for the day.
★The scenic area transportation basically departs in a rolling manner, there is no limit to the departure frequency. In the afternoon, I was alone on the bus, didn't wait too long, and still went to the glass plank road.
★The ticket has the visitor center's phone number. The latest time for the scenic area transportation to stop is 6:30 pm, but you can call to arrange for a pick-up (for example, if you watch the sunset on Jigong Mountain too late). This is a promise from the scenic area, but I haven't tried it.
★The scenery of the Jigong Mountain hiking plank road is good. The horse riding road and the hiking plank road are two lines, the former is much closer than the latter. I walked the hiking plank road on the way there (taking pictures while walking, about 1 and a half hours to the end), and walked the horse riding road on the way back (about half an hour on foot), the viewing angles are different.
★Overall, the scenery of Dashanbao is magnificent and domineering, worth a visit! The dance of the Black-necked Crane depends on luck, and the feeding time is currently not fixed!
★Drones are not allowed in the Black-necked Crane viewing area, but they can fly on Jigong Mountain. However, the wind is too strong to fly.

Bone soup boiled rice noodles, most of the lamb is with skin, pinch a few mint leaves and sprinkle it, force out the mint fragrance, a few drops of chili add flavor.
