Mt.
Cangshan, two kilometers
west of Dali, comprises
nineteen peaks with
eighteen rivulets. It is
best noted for its snow,
clouds, rivulets and
peaks regarded as the
four great wonders of
Mt. Cangshan. It is
where Dali marble is
quarried. Stretching
some 50 kilometers from
south to north, the
mountain is fully
covered by woods,
enveloped in drifting
clouds and hung with
springs on its steep
cliff sides. The top of
the peaks, the highest
being 4,122 meters above
sea level, is clad in
snow all the year round. |
