Cangshan Mountain

Cangshan is a mountain range immediately west of Dali in Yunnan Province，Southwest China.The highest summit，Malong，is 4，122 m，but the mountain includes another 18 peaks all over 3，500 m altitude.The mountain is noted for its very rich，diverse flora，first scientifically documented by Pierre Jean Marie Delavay in 1882.

In 1991，construction began on a paved walkway running north and south from the top chairlift station near ancient Dali.This walkway passes several waterfalls，and overlooks Lake Erhai and the ancient city itself.This walkway is named“Jade-Cloud Road”after the cloud formations that appear over the Cangshan peaks.Construction was completed in 1992 and in 2004 a new project was launched to widen the road and increased its length.At the Dali Town chairlift station on the mountainside is a temple complex as well as a small travellers’inn.
