Dali Ancient City is good ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I came to Dali for a business trip, I had half-sky leisure, so I chose to visit the ancient city of Dali. Take a taxi directly from the city to the south gate of Dali Ancient City, and there is a big Weibo Xiaolang doll at the door. There is no ticket for the ancient city 🎫, and you will enter the north-south main road of Fuxing Road in the ancient city through the city gate. Dali Ancient Town is mainly composed of three horizontal and one vertical main roads, like the "Feng" word of harvest, Fuxing Road is this longitudinal central axis that runs through the north and south, and there will be several east-west branches in the middle. There are many places worth visiting and taking pictures in the ancient town, such as Dali Museum, Bed linen Factory Art District, Wuhua Building, Catholic Church ⛪️, Yubai Garden. It is recommended to visit the Dali City Museum and board the Wuhua Building from a high place to overlook the panoramic view of the ancient city. To Dali ancient city, also taste the local snacks, so you can't miss the milk fan and fried bait block. The milk fan has two methods of roasting milk fan and fried milk fan. I tasted the fried milk fan and wiped the sauce. The taste is OK, but because it is too crisp, I accidentally fell to the ground a large piece, everyone should pay attention. Fried bait block is a rice food, wrapped in accessories and cut into small pieces to put a bowl, and then pour some raw pumping, the taste is very good, the price of two snacks is not expensive, are 5 yuan, there will be cheaper. There are many other local specialties in the ancient city, because of time problems, there is not one to taste. Transportation: 1. There is a bus from Dali City to Dali Ancient City. However, for tourists, it is recommended to charter a car or take a taxi. It is more convenient. The journey is about 40 minutes. The return journey depends on whether it is the peak point. The peak point is about 50 minutes. 2. It is recommended to park at the south gate, go to the ancient city from the south to the north, and then take a taxi back to the city from the north, without going back. Tickets: free
It is no different from the ancient city in other places. It is all inns, restaurants, bars, and selling things. There are many local residents living in the ancient city of Dali, there are schools, hospitals, etc., motor vehicles can still enter and exit, not completely facing tourists.
