Forums > Travel Yunnan > Hiking in Dali So I heard last year that there was a cable car or lift of some sort being built almost all the way to the top of the range. Can anyone confirm or deny? Has it been completed?
I'm also curious if anybody knows anything about temperature and snow conditions this time of year on the highest peak. Any equipment recommendations for knocking down the high peak in a one-day hike from the old town?
Thanks.

Getting away: Changchong Mountain
Posted byI logged the alternate route up the mountain and pasted the link below. Though it is very steep in some parts, I think this route is better because it's more of a trail and less of a road, has less traffic and requires less trekking up Longquan Lu.
