The scenic area is relatively close to the county seat, so it won't take too much time on the road. There are slides and other amusement facilities in the scenic area. The main core attraction is the waterfall, which is very beautiful. The scenic area is not large but the core scenic area is relatively concentrated, so you can save time when visiting and not waste a lot of time on the road without attractions. Therefore, I think this is particularly good. The ticket is not expensive and you can complete the tour in about 2 hours. There are also high-altitude suspension bridges, glass plank roads, etc. in the scenic area.
Yes, a scenic spot that was temporarily adjusted, the overall budget exceeded. First of all, the Stone House Half Mountain Hotel, the environment, service, and food are really good, and then the scenery, the waterfall is spectacular, the dry slide and water slide are both projects that children like

The trip to the mountain bag: harvesting the gifts of nature and the soul Stepping on the land of Zhaotong Mountain bag is like opening a wonderful journey of deep dialogue with nature and close embrace with the soul. When we end this trip, the bag is filled not only with photos and souvenirs, but also from the natural, cultural and self-growth aspects of the treasures. 1. Beauty of nature: shock of vision and soul The wonderful encounter of rare creatures: Dashanbao as a wintering habitat for black-necked cranes, thousands of black-necked cranes come every autumn and winter. Seeing their elegant posture in the wetlands foraging, dancing, and soaring, this close contact with rare creatures makes us deeply feel the wonder of nature's biodiversity. Every time the black-necked cranes fly high, it seems to be telling the tenacity and miracle of life, they are afraid of long-distance migration, year after year to the mountain bag, this persistent choice for the living environment, let us have a deeper awe of the mystery and greatness of life. Vision feast of magnificent landscape: Jigongshan Grand Canyon is like a crack in the earth, magnificent. Standing on the edge of the canyon, looking at the deep ditches, steep cliffs, and the oxalan river that is running at the bottom of the valley, a marvel of nature. And the fairy field vast alpine meadows, like a green carpet spread on the plateau, the mountains in the distance undulating, with the blue sky and white clouds. Whether it is the majestic beauty of the Grand Canyon or the tranquil beauty of the fairy field, it brings us unparalleled visual shock, broadening the boundaries of our understanding of natural landscape, and allowing us to appreciate the diverse charm under the natural color palette. 2. Culture: The in-depth experience of folk culture: Entering the villages around Dashanbao, the rich regional culture comes to our face. Here, we have the opportunity to participate in traditional activities of ethnic minorities such as the Yi people and feel their unique folk customs. The song and dance performance of the Yi people is full of passion and vitality, and the dancers are enthusiastic and unrestrained, and the rhythm of the dance conveys the love of this nation for life. In this way, we can deeply appreciate the unique charm of folk culture, understand the lifestyles, traditional customs and their understanding of the world of different ethnic groups, and enhance respect and tolerance for multiculturalism. Taste bud memory of traditional cuisine: the food of the mountain bag is a vivid reflection of regional culture. The golden and crisp skin and soft and sweet inside of the roasted potato, the delicate taste of the fried noodles with oatmeal and the rich wheat aroma, the delicious soup of the clear black goat and the tender meat, each dish carries the local history and tradition. Tasting these foods is not only to satisfy the enjoyment of taste buds, but also to touch the cultural vein of the mountain bag on the tip of the tongue, let us remember the unique taste of this land, become an unforgettable taste memory in travel. Self-growth: Hammer of the mind and will Peace and Return of the mind: In the mountains, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, we seem to have entered a quiet world isolated from the world. The blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters, and vast meadows have a calming force. Walking along the wetlands, by the canyon, or lying in the fairy
This attraction was an unexpected surprise on our trip! Dashanbao belongs to a national nature reserve, not a scenic spot. Go to the transfer center to buy a ticket for 98 per person. Note that this is only a ticket, not a scenic spot without a ticket! Sitting in a simple transfer car, entering the reserve is bumpy all the way. There are herds of cattle and sheep along the way, and unknown small flowers blooming on the grass. The shepherds wrapped in wool felts fall asleep anywhere. The distance between each scenic spot is very far, and you must take a transfer car. There is no unified arrangement and coordination at the boarding point. There are very few cars. Tourists do not line up and swarm into the car. Later, the tourists discussed how to line up by themselves and called the transfer center to ask them to arrange more cars to pick up people. At each transfer point, there are locals selling grilled eggs, corn, potatoes and mutton skewers, which are grilled with collected animal feces. They are absolutely authentic. The smoke is blown everywhere with the wind, and every tourist waiting for the car can be smoked.
Each attraction is very shocking, especially on the glass platform. People who are afraid of heights will have weak legs when walking. Especially Jigong Mountain is quite physically demanding. If you can't walk, you are advised to ride a horse. However, the beautiful scenery is along the walking path.
Friends who come here to play are advised to wear comfortable sports shoes, bring a windproof jacket, and take sun protection measures. The weather on the mountain is unpredictable. Bring some water and food.
In general, Zhaotong is cooler than Kunming, Lijiang, and Dali, and there are relatively fewer people and the prices are not high. It is recommended that you can go to the ancient city of Zhaotong again. The atmosphere of life is very strong and it is not completely commercialized. The whole family likes this city very much and will come again next year.
