Gantong Temple is located in Shengyingfeng of Cangshan Mountain, formerly known as Dangshan Temple, which was founded in Han Dynasty and rebuilt in Tang Dynasty. There used to be 36 monasteries and temples in Gantong Temple, but by the end of the Ming Dynasty, they were seriously damaged, and only the next temple and one temple (Dayun Temple and Silent Photo Hall) were left.

At present, the temples in the present site of Gantong Temple, where the Gantong cableway is located, are mostly rebuilt and restored later. Gantong Temple, with its back to Cangshan Mountain and facing Erhai Lake, is surrounded by green tea gardens. When you experience the charm of the ancient temple, you can also walk into the tea garden to appreciate the sweetness and aftertaste of tea. Zhenlong Chess

"Zhenlong Chess" is a fictional plot in Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts representative work "Eight Dragons". It was founded by Wuyazi, the head of Minstrel, and he wanted to take advantage of such a chess game to recruit a talented disciple.

There is no record of this chess game that no one can crack in martial arts novels for decades in the real world of Go. It is said that the former site of the rare chess game written by Jin Yong is located in the Qingbi Stream Grand Canyon.

The "Zhenlong Chess Board" located near the upper station of the Gantong cableway was built according to the concepts in the novel, but it changed Go into a huge China chess board according to aesthetic principles. The whole chess board is 25 meters long and 2 meters wide. Each piece has a diameter of 1.5 meters and a height of .5 meters. The cable car can overlook the giant chess game surrounded by pine trees from high altitude, which is very spectacular. Qingbi Stream

Qingbi Stream is located between Shengying Peak and Malong Peak in Cangshan. The clear spring water pours down from the cliff of the peak, forming three pools of upper, middle and lower Qingxi. The colors of the streams in the three pools are different: "The water in the lower pool is dark blue, the water in the middle pool is blue, and the water in the upper pool is green".

Qingbi Stream is the southernmost tip of Yunyou Road in Yudai. If you have enough time, you can set foot on this beautiful mountain hiking landscape road and walk to Qilongnvchi or Zhonghe Temple. The mountain canyon where Qingbi Stream is located is Cangshan Grand Canyon, which was fractured in the east-west direction and eroded by flowing water in the process of Cangshan peak rising thousands of years ago.

Not far from Qingbi Stream, there is a grand canyon viewing platform. After this viewing platform, you can go to the mountain road of Shangtan. Ximatan Cableway (Grand Cableway/Tianlong Cableway)

Ximatan Cableway (Grand Cableway/Tianlong Cableway) Route: Baihexi-Qilongnv Pool-Ximatan

Ximatan Cableway, also known as Grand Cableway and Tianlong Cableway, has the longest distance and the highest elevation among the three ropeways. Baihexi Station of Ximatan Cableway is located next to Tianlong Babu Film and Television City. There is a "Seven Dragon Women's Pool Middle Station" in the middle of the whole ropeway, and the upper station is located near Ximatan at an altitude of nearly 4, meters. The ropeway of Ximatan is 5,555 meters long, and it is divided into two parts: the next stop "Baihexi" to "Qilongnvchi" and "Ximatan", which connects the three main attractions (Tianlong Babu Film and Television City, Qilongnvchi and Ximatan) in series. Take the Ximatan cableway from the foot of the mountain, and you can see the changes of forest vegetation in the process of rising slowly, even the wonderful scene of "one mountain has four seasons".

One-way ticket price of Ximatan Cableway:

One-way ticket from Baihexi (next stop) to Qilongnvchi (middle station) in 8 yuan

One-way ticket from Qilongnvchi (middle station) to Ximatan (upper station) in 7 yuan

One-way ticket from Baihexi (next stop) to Ximatan (upper station) in 15 yuan, with full round-trip ticket. Ximatan

Ximatan has the reputation of "Lake on the Peak", which is located between Yuju Peak and Longquan Peak in Cangshan Mountain, with an altitude of 3,92 meters. It is said that this alpine lake was stationed here to wash horses when Kublai Khan of Yuan Shizu led his troops to Dali, hence its name.

According to historical records, there was a mountain reservoir in Ximatan today during Nanzhao period, which was used to guide mountain springs to irrigate farmland below the mountain. The temperature at the top of the mountain is much lower than that at the foot of the mountain. When you board the viewing platform at an altitude of 398 meters, you can see Ximatan at a glance.

The lake is surrounded by charming alpine rhododendron flowers, but the scenery is different all year round, and only rhododendron flowers are different every month. When the weather is good, the pool reflects the blue sky and presents an irresistible sapphire blue. Qilongnvchi

Qilongnvchi is the middle station of Ximatan cableway, and it is also the necessary point on the jade belt traveling. The spring water flowing from the middle of the Black Dragon Creek in Cangshan Mountain has formed seven pools. According to legend, this is the place where seven dragon girls of the Dragon King of Erhai Lake bathe and rest. They all bathe here every summer and on the night when the moon is high, and they don't return to the Dragon Palace of Erhai Lake until dawn. The sweet mountain spring water covered the stone wall like white satin, and fell into the pool to make a pleasant sound, creating a fairyland in the mountains. Tianlong Babu Studios

Tianlong Babu Studios at the foot of Cangshan Mountain is one of the shooting bases of the TV series Tianlong Babu. The Studios consists of three parts: Dali Kingdom, Liao Kingdom, Xixia Palace and Jurchen Tribe. In the antique buildings, you can feel the prosperous social features of Dali at that time.

Walking through the tower of the Studio City is the gate of Dali Palace, where Duan Yu's uncle Baoding Di Duan Zhengming met courtiers and handled state affairs. When I came to the "Zhennan Wangfu", did you think of Duan Yu's play of taking the third of the "Four Evil Men" as an apprentice, which was filmed here?

Tickets for Tianlong Babu Film and Television City: 52 yuan Zhonghe Cableway (Small Cableway/Cangshan Cableway)

Zhonghe Cableway, also known as Cangshan Cableway and Small Cableway, is the northernmost of the three ropeways, and the height it can reach is also the lowest, probably halfway up the mountain. There are no more attractions along the Zhonghe cableway than the other two, only the last stop is Zhonghe Temple.

Friends who like burning incense and hiking enthusiasts can choose this ropeway. For ordinary tourists, it is better to recommend the other two. This ropeway is also different in that its car body is old-fashioned, that is, it has no shell wrapped and is a pure open-air hanging chair seat.

ticket price of Zhonghe cableway: one-way 5 yuan, round trip to 1 yuan.

Opening hours: 8:3-17:

Transportation: Exit Cangshan Gate on the west side of Dali Ancient City, and walk about 1.2 kilometers to the Zhonghe Cableway. Zhonghe Temple

Zhonghe Temple, located halfway up the Zhonghe Peak in Cangshan Mountain, is a very famous Taoist temple in Dali. It is precisely because Zhonghe Peak is the central peak of "Cangshan Nineteen Peaks", facing Dali Ancient City and Erhai Lake under the mountain, it has become the best place to overlook the scenery of Dali Ancient City and Erhai Lake.

Zhonghe Temple is composed of the Juxian Building, the Spiritual Palace, the Jade Emperor Pavilion and other temples. Every year, the ninth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the Jade Emperor, and a grand "Peach Blossom Party" will be held in Zhonghe Temple, where Bai people from nearby will come to catch the temple fair in an endless stream.

Zhonghe Temple is also a must-see point on the Jade Belt Cloud Tour Road. Many hikers will walk here from the southernmost Qingbi Stream and take the cable car down the mountain.

Zhonghe Temple tickets: no tickets are required, which are included in Cangshan mountain entrance fee.
