Less than an hour by bus from Xiaguan (Dali's modern city, located at the southern end of Erhai Lake affordable China travel packages), this crag was the earliest to be developed in Dali. The crag is located on the road to Jizu Shan (literally "Chicken Foot Mountain"), within a Buddhist temple complex – which is itself worth a visit!
Only one rock face has been bolted thus far, and there's potential for at least 30 routes here, as long as the resident China tourism monks are gracious enough to let us keep putting up new lines. Currently, there are 9 routes, from 5.8 to 5.12a, situated beneath an enormous ficus tree. Local visitors will usually pause here to gawk at climbers before continuing up the stone steps to the temple above. Most of the routes are shaded throughout the day.
To get to Guanyin Canyon, catch a bus headed to Binchuan China Holidays at the bus station located across from the Dali train station - at the terminus of the number 8 bus from Dali's old town. Ask the driver to let you off at Guanyin Qing. The fare is 14 yuan. Unfortunately, there isn't any practical accommodation nearby, so it's best visited as a day trip.
