Cangshan Mountain, whether viewed from high altitude or flat ground, is the natural coordinates for positioning Dali, because its mountain shape is really unique, and anyone who looks at it will be deeply remembered in their hearts.
Cangshan Snow Scenery is one of the typical four scenic spots of Dali, because of its charm that has nowhere to be placed, and the annual Cangshan Snow always attracts a large number of people to come to watch, without exception.
As Dali people who live at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, they are still looking forward to the annual snow in Cangshan Mountain.
The snowy Cangshan Mountain is the most eye-catching attraction in Dali in winter, from the streets and alleys of Dali, and even the high-rise rooms in the courtyard, as long as you look up, you will find the existence of "Cangshan Snow".
The snow of Cangshan Mountain falls irregularly, sometimes it never crosses the mountainside, it immediately stops when it slides from the top of the mountain to the mountainside, and in this distance, it can also accurately control the density of the snow; sometimes it goes down from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain and even in the ancient city, the difference is that there is heavy snow on the top of the mountain, and there is light snow in the ancient city.
From the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain is divided into three colors, the top of the mountain is gray and white, the mountainside to the foot of the mountain is dark green, and the foot of the mountain is a variety of yellow, but this gray and white is the most endearing.
The first snow of Cangshan in 2022 has fallen, and you must not miss it!
The best snow viewing place on Cangshan Mountain is Cangshan Washima Pond, because this is the highest part of Cangshan Mountain that people can reach by means of ropeways so far, and it is also the place where the scenery of Cangshan Mountain is most concentrated.
In winter, washimatan has long been ready for the arrival of snow, a silent snow, making washimatan a "wonderland like ink painting".
If the snow is falling, it is already impossible to see clearly ten meters away, and the world shrouded in snow suddenly changes color, fading the bright colors, leaving only black and white.
The appropriate blank space between trees and buildings, trees and boardwalks, makes every scene that people see is full of artistic conception and high-level sense like traditional ink painting.
The fir is newly dressed from top to bottom, and the details on the leaves are gone, leaving only the upright trunk and fluffy branches.
Snow clear, Cangshan Wash MaTan in the sunshine and pampering under the hazy feeling faded, a glance of tens of meters, the field of vision becomes open, the majestic momentum contained in the natural beauty is revealed, let you experience a sense of silence described in an ancient poem " a thousand mountain birds fly away, ten thousand paths of people disappear" sense of silence.
At this time, the washing horse pond was like a night pearl that opened the black cloth that blocked its brilliance, and it became incomparably dazzling in an instant.
The snow became crystal clear, shining in the sunlight, the fir appeared green between the snow whites, and in the fierce light of the sun, the thin snow began to melt and turn into water droplets that kept dripping down.
Walking on the boardwalk, stepping on the thick snow, making a unique sound, building snowmen and snowball fights here, everyone can experience the "ice and snow fun".
Looking around and looking up at the sky, you will find that under the background of the blue sky, it is more unique and beautiful, surrounded by deep mountains and distant mountains, and unique fun in the ice and snow.

The snow scenery on Jizu Mountain gives people a completely different feeling from the snow scenery of Cangshan Mountain, and the snow scenery here is a little less domineering and more spiritual.
Although snow can be found from the top of the mountain to the mountainside, snow viewing is still the most suitable for the Golden Dome Temple and the Rhododendron Promenade.
