Tranquility & Flavor at Jizhao Nunnery, Dali 🏞️🍄⛩️

Looking for a soul-soothing escape up in Dali’s lush mountains? Jizhao Nunnery is a hidden gem where temple tranquility meets legendary Buddhist vegetarian meals—locals swear by the flavor and the vibe!

🗺️ Recommended Route:
Feeling adventurous? Lace up and hike up Cangshan for fresh views and crisp mountain air—the path does get steep and tiring. Not big on hills? A taxi is surprisingly cheap and gets you there fuss-free.

🍽️ Must-Do:
Sit inside the serene nunnery and order their iconic mushroom dish (totally lives up to the hype!). Enjoy steamed, stir-fried, or soup-style plant treats prepared by resident Buddhist nuns.

📸 Insta-Worthy Spots:
Take time to snap the quiet courtyard draped in prayer flags, the lush pines framing the entrance gate, and your vegetarian feast with golden sunlight streaming in. The panoramic mountain backdrop is a must for wide-angle shots.

🙌 Visiting Tips:
Arrive mid-morning for peak freshness and peaceful vibes—doors open 08:30, so come early. Bring cash for your meal; cards aren’t accepted.

⚠️ Key Precautions:
Dress respectfully—cover shoulders/knees. The mountain weather changes fast, so layer up; hiking shoes if you walk. No loud chatter or outside food.
