Niaodiao Mountain is a famous tourist attraction in Dali, Yunnan, China. Thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing and vacation every day. This time I will introduce a travel guide to Niaodiao Mountain.
Located in the west of Fengyubazi, Eryuan County, Dali, Yunnan, it is the main peak of Luoping Mountain in the Yunling Mountains and is also a state-level nature reserve. It is famous for its beautiful mountains and rivers, charming scenery, rich animal and plant resources and remarkable biodiversity. In autumn and winter, Niaodiao Mountain presents the spectacular sight of "a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix", becoming an important channel for migratory birds. The two high mountain pools - Tianjing Pool and Shuiditai, are like bright mirrors embedded in the mountains, reflecting the starry sky and sunrise, which is beautiful beyond words.
Transportation
- Self-driving: Since Niaodiao Mountain has not yet been fully developed, the best mode of transportation is self-driving. Starting from Dali Ancient Town, the journey takes about 2 hours. You can replenish your supplies when you pass Dengchuan or Eryuan. There are many sharp turns in the second half of the road, so please drive carefully.
- Public transportation: Due to the remoteness of the area, public transportation is inconvenient. It is recommended to rent a car or join a local tour group.
Ticket Information
- Admission: Free
- Note: Although no tickets are required, please respect the natural environment and keep it clean.
