With a beautiful scenery and numerous temples, Jizu Shan (which means "Chicken Foot Mountain") is one of China's most famous Buddhist mountains. It is located in Binchuan County / Dali prefecture, some 370 kilometers west of Kunming and is a great for visiting all year round.
Beginning of this month (April 2017), the government of Dali Prefecture decided to temporarily close down almost 2000 guesthouses, restaurants and bars bordering directly the lakeside of Er'hai Lake. The reason: environmental issues, waste water pollution and the protection of the lake.
I spent only 3 days in and around Dali – just enough to see the highlights and not enough to dally in Dali
Food in Dali? Well, that was a challenge for me. I didn’t know sometimes what I had ordered, but I ate it anyway. Yunnan food is not my favorite and I’m not sure why.
In November 2019, Wonders of Yunnan team has made a business trip to Dali in order to get a real impression about the conditions of the places, services, and sights. Mount Cangshan, Er’hai and Chongsheng temple where famous stops we made among others. (Part 1 of 3)
