Tickets and booking
Admission is free — the data pack lists the site as free to enter, so there is no ticket to buy and no booking step. The practical default is simply to arrive within opening hours: 08:00-18:00, every day of the week, year-round. One caveat from the pack: the actual opening status on any given day governs, so if the visit matters to your schedule, confirm locally before committing the time.
Entrance and routes
The pack documents one access route: take bus route 12 to the Longquan Zutuan Yizhan stop, from which the site is a walkable distance away. Fengyangyi Tea Horse Road sits in Fengyangyi Village, under Liuguanchang Administrative Village in Xiaguan Town, Dali City, Yunnan. No gates, ticket checkpoints or alternative entrances are listed — with free entry and nothing to book, the default is to arrive on foot from the bus stop and start walking.
Photo spots
The data pack names no specific viewpoints, so treat the trail itself as the subject: the site takes its name from the historic Tea Horse trade route, and the walk through Fengyangyi Village is what you are shooting. Two documented constraints shape the light you get — the site opens at 08:00 and closes at 18:00, and a visit runs 1-3 hours — so an early start puts you on the trail in morning light with the whole window still ahead. Beyond that, no vantage points are catalogued; wander and frame as you find.
Timing and crowds
Opening hours are 08:00-18:00, Monday through Sunday, all year, and the pack notes that the actual opening status on the day takes precedence — worth rechecking locally around weather or holiday periods. The pack carries no visitor-volume data, so there is no documented quiet window; the reliable move is to work within the opening hours and use the 1-3 hour suggested duration to place the visit wherever it fits your day.
Walking and effort
The pack lists no trail length, gradient or surface details, so set effort expectations as modest by default: the suggested duration is 1-3 hours, which marks this as a short walk rather than a half-day or full-day hike. No special equipment is indicated — comfortable walking shoes are the sensible default for a village trail — and the 18:00 closing time gives you a hard finish to plan around.
Getting there
Public transit is the documented option: bus route 12 stops at Longquan Zutuan Yizhan, and the site is a short walk from the stop. The destination village, Fengyangyi, falls under Liuguanchang Administrative Village in Xiaguan Town, Dali City, Yunnan. The pack lists no other transport details — no taxi information, parking or distances — so if you are not taking the bus, navigate to the village address directly and confirm the final approach on the ground.
Cost breakdown
The headline cost is zero: entry is free, and the pack documents no ticket tiers, separate fees or paid add-ons. The only structured spend is getting there — bus route 12 is the documented transit, though the fare is not listed in the pack. Everything beyond that is personal spend in Fengyangyi Village and the wider Dali area, none of it priced in the data.
