Dashanbao is located in the west of Zhaotong City, with an average annual temperature of 6.2°C. 99% of Yunnan people have never been to this place. Dashanbao has a warm plateau monsoon climate, cold in winter and cool in summer. As the wintering habitat of the black-necked crane, a national first-class protected animal, it is a paradise for many photographers. Every winter, many photographers climbed the big mountain bag with heavy loads, and started shooting the trip to the secret paradise here. It is colder than many places in northern China. Walking in the snow in winter feels like being in the North Pole.

The black-necked crane is an internationally recognized rare and endangered animal. It is a national first-level key protected wild animal and is known as the "bird panda". At present, Dashanbao has become the transfer station and distribution center with the largest number and density of black-necked cranes overwintering in the country. In Tiaodunhe Reservoir and Dahaizi Reservoir, groups of black-necked cranes can be seen foraging and perching by the lake.

Most of the black-necked cranes will continue to "settle down" in Dashanbao, and a small number of black-necked cranes will take a rest here, recharge their batteries and embark on the migration journey again, flying to Caohai, Weining County, Bijie City, Guizhou, and Huize, Qujing, Yunnan. Nian Lake in the county, and the wetlands in Wuzhai Township, Yongshan County, Maolin Town, Yongshan County, and Mashu Town, Qiaojia County, Zhaotong City.
