- Shibao Shan - A fantastic nature reserve and religious site that was one of the first to be officially protected by China in 1982. There are numerous temples and grottoes as well as some fantastic views and walks amongst the old forests. The entrance fee is ¥30 but apparently there is no discount for students. Shibao Shan is 12km north of Shaxi on the road from Jianchuan and 11km south of the Dali-Jianchuan road. The Stone Bell Temple with its famous carvings appears to be closed for the Winter.
