Cang Mountain

[1] The mountain range is noted for its rich, diverse flora, first scientifically documented by Pierre Jean Marie Delavay in 1882.

[2] In 1991 construction began on a paved walkway running north and south from the top chairlift station near ancient Dali.

This walkway is named "Jade-Cloud Road" after the cloud formations that appear over the Cang Mountain peaks.

At the Dali Town chairlift station on the mountainside is a temple complex as well as a small travellers' inn.

A second chairlift was completed in 2012 which takes visitors to just below the summit of the Cang Mountain Range.
