Cangshan is a mountain range immediately west of Dali City in Yunnan province
of Southwest China.
The highest summit, Malong, is 4,122 m, and the mountain
includes another 18 peaks all over 3,500 m altitude. The mountain is noted for
its very rich, diverse flora. There is a paved walkway running north and south
from the top chairlift station near ancient Dali. This walkway passes several
waterfalls, and overlooks Erhai Lake and the ancient city itself. This walkway
is named "Jade-Cloud Road" after the cloud formations that appear over the
Cangshan peaks.
