A hidden gem in the foothills of Cangshan Mountain
From south to north, Cangshan forms nineteen peaks and eighteen streams, this well-known Dali scenery. However, people often only focus on Erhai Lake and the eastern foothills of Cangshan facing Erhai Lake, but overlook the hidden paradise-like town in the western foothills of Cangshan - Yangao. This is a truly worth exploring treasure secret, with few people and beautiful scenery, natural scenery and cultural relics complement each other.
The mountains on the western foothills of Cangshan are like two stone doors, guarding the entrance to Cangshan, known as the 'Gate of Cangshan'. On the way up the mountain, there are towering cliffs, waterfalls, dense forests and valleys, with rich and diverse scenery. Moreover, there are hot springs flowing in the valleys of the Dali Cangshan Shimen Pass Scenic Area, just like a fairyland.

Along this stone road and the unmodified old houses on both sides, you can feel the traces of time. Following the Bonan Ancient Road, you can reach Yunlong Bridge, which was built in the Tang Dynasty and has been well preserved after a thousand years of vicissitudes.
Yangao is the hometown of walnuts in China. Going up the mountain road of Guangming Village, you will see the ancient walnut trees and a walnut tree king that is 1160 years old. The mountains are full of flowers and greenery, as if this is the 'cloud end' of Yangao.
In addition, the title of the large garden on the west slope of Cangshan makes this place a rhododendron paradise. Every time the rhododendron season comes, all kinds of rhododendrons bloom one after another, especially the red tree rhododendrons burn like fire, beautiful and spectacular.
