Therefore, December to March of the following year is the best time to watch the black-necked cranes in the mountains.

This is my experience of visiting Dashanbao when I traveled from Yibin to Hongdu and from Yuanyang to Zhaotong in March 2010. At that time, tickets for Haizi and Jigong Mountain were not collected yet, but now they have started to be collected. I don't think there will be much change in other situations, I hope this helps.

Route:

It is recommended to drive yourself as much as possible, preferably an off-road vehicle or a high-riding SUV.

Dashanbao Township is about 80 kilometers away from Zhaotong City. The roads to Dashanbao Township are all newly built. There are a few cement pavements and the rest are asphalt pavements. The road conditions are very good, but you must pay attention to safety on many winding mountain roads, as it is easy to get motion sickness.

The gravel roads in the scenic area are rugged, so you must drive carefully to prevent the chassis and tires from being damaged by sharp stones on the ground.
