Legend has it that the famous immortal Lu Dongbin once came to the mountain to teach Taoism.

Ming dynasty

During the Ming and Qing dynasty, many daoist from Mount Wudang of Hubei and the Qingcheng Mountain of Sichuan came to mount Weibao to live as hermit and practice inner alchemy; they took disciples and 20 more temples were built on the mountain.

Qing dynasty

The Qing dynasty attracted the largest number of worshippers in history, and hundreds of Daoists came to cultivate the dao on the mountain, which therefore became a Daoist sacred site and was granted the title of shifangconglin 十方丛林．.

Temples fairs

Weibaoshan fair

From 白族舞蹈在青霞观 Bai minority celebrations in the green glow temple

In the period of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing dynasty, the local people initiated the pilgrimage to Mt. Weibao; the temple Fair lasted half a month---- from the first to the fifteenth day of the second lunar month. This activity gradually declined in the period of the Republic of China. In recent years, the Temple Fair of Mt. Weibao has been rejuvenated on the 8th day of the 2nd lunar month.

Meanwhile, the traditional concert of Cavern Scripture Music洞經音樂 and the Yi nationality’s singing festival on Mt. Weibao have been revived.

Bus No. 52 runs from Daguan Tower via the main railway station to the airport. Also, bus No.67 runs by the north railway station via the main railway station.

More details on http://www.chinatrainguide.com/kunming-railway-station/dali.html

There are two railway stations in Kunming.
The main railway station (also known as Nanyao station) is located about 4 km from the city, a RMB10 taxi ride that takes about 15 minutes. Apart from bus lines that link the railway station with the airport, bus No.68 runs to the Expo '99 Garden and bus No.80 runs to the Xiyuan bus station. Most hotels in Kunming have rail ticket booking services. The main railway ticket office is at 19 Kubshi Lu not far from the Nanjing Hotel. There, tickets can be arranged from 8am-5:30pm (with a long lunch break).

Buses from Kunming to Dali or Weishan:

There are many modern air-conditioned buses (5h drive- price about 150 Yuan) from the main bus station (South Bus Station: Facing the Kunming Railway Station in Beijing Xi Lu) taking you to either Dali or Weishan, at the bottom of Weibaoshan.

There are four major long distance bus stations in Kunming:

The South station is directly opposite the Nanyao railway station on Beijing Lu. This is Kunming's major bus station and has bus routes to most regional destinations. There are two classes of bus generally available here: the cheaper Regular and the faster and more luxurious Gaokuai (literally "Highway Express"). The station is well managed and ideal for all manner of tourists.

The Railway station square bus station has buses for most destinations in Kunming, although it is less organized with more private buses that have less fixed schedules. Most of the buses here are normal coaches and are cheaper than Gaokuai buses. Buses to Shilin and Jiuxiang start here, but the best way to reach these places is by train, as the buses on this route tend to pick up as many tourists as possible along the way and the supposed 2 hour drive invariably ends up being at least 4 hours.

The Western station used to be the second largest bus station in Kunming, but is currently the third largest after the Huangtupo Station. Buses run to most regional destinations from here. The station is well managed.

Huangtupo station is growing bigger every day , but since this station is far from the city and most bus routes are not to tourist destinations, (with only two sleepers to Zhongdian departing at 3 PM and 7 PM, probably stopping in Lijiang and Dali), it is not widely used by tourists.

Hotel in Kunming:
Cheap Hotel in Kunming: the Camelia Hotel is cheap and friendly with online booking and most importantly the staff speak english and can arrange pick up at the airport and booking of bus or plane tickets to Weishan.
