The Cangshan Mountains or Diancang Mountains are in the western part of Dali. They stretch 50 kilometers from south to north. The mountains have 19 towering peaks. The highest peak is 4,092 meters above sea level. The top of the mountains is covered with snow all year round. The melting snow flows down the mountainsides in 18 streams, and finally empties into Erhai Lake. On the Cangshan Mountains there are many natural scenes such as the Dragon-eye Cave, the Phoenix-eye Cave, Seven Dragon Girls Pond, Qingbi Stream and Taoxi Stream. A special road for viewing Jade Belt Cloud is 16 kilometers long.
