    "Dali Ancient City, no tickets are required, I came in during the day, it was quite big, there were several areas inside, we couldn't find them. Because I am a team, I gave 2 hours. I think if you want to play well, it is best to come in the afternoon and play together at night. To play well. I ate beef skewers for 10 yuan and flower cakes for 10 yuan for four. No packaging. After the trip came out, I bought a box of flower cakes, which was delicious in the ancient city."
    Dali.Dali Ancient City
    >100km from Yulong
    Highlights: Located at the foot of the beautiful Cangshan Mountain, Dali Ancient City is the capital of ancient Nanzhao and Dali countries. With a slow pace lifestyle, a relatively warm climate and beautiful natural surroundings, it is a very conducive place for living. Combing the ancient city for artsy shops and hipster cafes is a very therapeutic and thrilling experience. The third and fourth month of the lunar calendar is filled with a lot of local festivals. The famous San Yue Jie or "Third Month Street", is the biggest festival of the year for local Bai people. Merchants come from far and wide to set up street markets and sell their interesting array of goods. There's also horse racing, archery and other competitions throughout the day. Join in the fun if you happen to be there!

    Daocheng
    >100km from Yulong
    Highlights: Daocheng Yading, also known as Yading Nature Reserve, is known by locals as Aden Scenic Area. Located in the southern part of Daocheng County in Ganzi Prefecture, it is mainly composed of three mountains, Xiannairi, Yangmaiyong, and Xianuoduoji, as well as surrounding rivers, lakes, and alpine meadows. There are not only magnificent and sacred snow-capped mountains in the scenic area, but also vast meadows, colorful forests, and blue crystal clear lakes. Hiking on foot like the local Tibetans is a better way to experience the scenery in Yading. However, due to the high altitude of the Aden Protected Area, the entire walk still requires considerable physical fitness.

    Ninglang.Lugu Lake Goddness Bay Scenic Area
    >100km from Yulong
    Highlights: Lugu Lake is located between Ninglang County of Yunnan Province and Yanyuan County of Sichuan Province. It is named as such because it is shaped like a gourd. The lake is about 2,600 meters above sea level and locals see it as a beautiful pearl shining among the hills of the Northwest plateau. The Mosuo people living on the lake are one of the key highlights of the attraction. They are one of the few matriarchal societies remaining in modern world as women play the role of production and management, holding the principal position in society. There is no marriage, men stay in the women's home as mates called 'Axia' and the intimate relationship lasts as long as they like. While on board a local boat, you will notice that the lake is crystal-clear with swarms of seagulls flying over the water. The surrounding scenery is like a painting that is worth seeing at least once a lifetime!

    "Impression Lijiang, the performance is very exciting, all ethnic minorities, some actors are very invested, very touched, we sat for a while, the neck actually sunburned, the actors wearing so thick and jumping, not easy. The performance team is large, a small 100 people's performance. Very shocking and beautiful. Recommended. Be sun-protected."
    Lijiang.Inside Dayan Ancient Town
    5.5km from Yulong
    Highlights: The Lijiang Ancient City is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that has a history of over 800 years. It was an important stopover point in ancient times playing a very important role in the trading activities among Yunnan, China hinterland, Tibet, India and many other neighbouring Asian countries. The town is full of ancient wooden buildings, stone roads, and small bridges. It is the only old city built without a city wall. Standing in the city, you can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Several television series were also shot here. The former mansion of the Tusi people (Mu Mansion) and the Naxi ancient music performances should definitely be on your checklist.

    "The south bank of the Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area is the Yulong Snow Mountain. The main peak is up to 5596 meters above sea level, and the north bank Haba Snow Mountain is 5396 meters above sea level. Due to the tight constraints of the mountains on both sides of the Straits, the river is only more than 50 meters wide after entering the Gorge. The narrowest place is the tiger leopard leaping over, so it is called the Tiger Leaping Gorge. The canyon is 80 kilometers away from the downtown area of Lijiang City. The canyon is upstream of the Jinsha River. It is 17 kilometers long and 25 kilometers on the roundabout road. The vertical height difference of the canyon is more than 3,900 meters. It is one of the deepest canyons in the world. Due to the landslide, the current boulders have been left, resulting in more rough water. It is divided into three sections: upper tiger jump, middle tiger jump, and lower tiger jump. The main scenic spot of Tiger Leaping Gorge is upper tiger jump. Lijiang (and Shangri-La) passenger terminals have buses to the scenic spot for two hours. The scenic spot can be played in about 1 hour, and the steps can be down to the canyon in more than ten minutes. The tiger jumping scenic spot, the passage of the Jinsha River is very powerful. The bus can also go to the Tiger Jump on the way, but the Tiger Jump is a hiking route, not a scenic spot, half an hour from the Zhang teacher inn to the canyon, and then climb up for 1.5 hours (or the 168-level ladder climbs up faster), this route will be a bit tired, the scenery is worse than the Tiger Jump, the river is not so powerful."

    "You must choose a good weather when you go up the mountain. If the visibility is low, the experience is not good. At the end of May, Cangshan, full of rhododendrons on the top of the mountain, the visual effect is much better than the photos. It is worth going to the plank road to Ximatan."

Or, you can just simply find a seaview hotel next to Erhai and chill there for the day.

The big tower in the middle of the front is called Qianxun Tower, which is in a tripod with the two small towers in the north and south, which is quite grand. The shape of the three towers is similar to the Small Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an. The best place to take pictures of the three towers is the "Three Towers Gathering Pool" in the Three Towers Reflection Park behind it. Here you can take pictures of the three towers and the reflections in the pool. Many tourists take pictures here. Go around the three towers and walk along the central axis. Along the way, you can see the Nanzhao and Dali Kingdom cultural relics unearthed during the maintenance of the three towers in the Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall, the Nanzhao Jianji Bell weighing 16 tons in the bell tower, and the Rain Bronze Guanyin in the Rain Bronze Guanyin Hall. Finally, you can come to the Chongsheng Temple. The Chongsheng Temple today was rebuilt in 2005. It is large in scale and you can feel the grandeur of the royal temples in the Nanzhao and Dali periods. There are more than 10,000 dragons of various kinds in the temple, which is the temple with the most dragons in the country. In addition, there is also a nationally largest cowhide drum in the temple, with a diameter of 3.1 meters, made of a whole piece of cowhide, which is worth seeing.
