Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Located at the foot of the beautiful Cangshan Mountain, Dali Ancient City is the capital of ancient Nanzhao and Dali countries. With a slow pace lifestyle, a relatively warm climate and beautiful natural surroundings, it is a very conducive place for living. Combing the ancient city for artsy shops and hipster cafes is a very therapeutic and thrilling experience. The third and fourth month of the lunar calendar is filled with a lot of local festivals. The famous San Yue Jie or "Third Month Street", is the biggest festival of the year for local Bai people. Merchants come from far and wide to set up street markets and sell their interesting array of goods. There's also horse racing, archery and other competitions throughout the day. Join in the fun if you happen to be there!

Promise me, you must go to Dali with the one you loveDali | Our poetry and distant places are just their daily life. The nightlife in the ancient city of Dali has a unique charm. In the evening, strolling in the ancient city is like traveling to the Kingdom of Dali. Sometimes, I really envy the people here, because the poetry and distant places we yearn for are just their daily life: the snow of Cangshan, the moon of Erhai, the flowers of Shangguan, the wind of Xiaguan, all the worldly noises can be forgotten.Jetsetter Food Crawl10

It is lush all year round, often accompanied by clouds and mists, and the scenery you casually capture is all cinematic.

There are also a few trees here that I particularly like, romantic, lonely, crooked, each with its own charm. Sitting on a chair or in a bridge hole to take photos, the atmosphere is instantly full, don't miss it if you like photography. Longkan Wharf: Watching a sunrise at Longkan Wharf is incredibly healing. Although the sequoias have withered, it does not affect the quality of the photos.

Here, check in at the corner building, and feel the romance at the red walls of Xilin Garden.

Haiyu Park: Under the blue sky and white clouds, it's like a scene from an oil painting. The famous Couple's Tree is here, romantic and healing.

Spring in Dali is full of healing and romance, but be sure to protect yourself from the sun. 2. The cherry blossoms have already bloomed. 3.

The significance of live photos in this Yunnan journeyThe beauty of Yunnan is truly indescribable, so beautiful that 1TB of storage is not enough!!! Photos 1-3: Dali; Photos 4-6: Lijiang; Photos 7-9: Shangri-La 5 days and 4 nights, 3 cities itinerary Day1: Arrive in Kunming by high-speed train ightarrow Direct train to Dali (Kunming station has both high-speed train and regular train, convenient for transfer) ightarrow Night tour of the ancient city (you can see the beautiful spirit of the people in Dali) Day2: Dali's Erhai Lake ightarrow Ecological corridor for photography (every shot is a masterpiece) ightarrow Xizhou Ancient Town (filming location of 'The Wind Blows in Changlin' starring Liu Yifei and Li Xian) ightarrow Around Erhai Lake Day3: Dali Ancient Town ightarrow Shuhe Ancient Town ightarrow Lijiang Ancient Town ightarrow Friends with children can check out 'Lijiang Eternal Love', a very mature performance with excellent stage, audio, and visual technology ightarrow Stay in Lijiang Day4: Cable car up to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (the snow mountain closest to the equator, has its own charm whether it's sunny or not) ightarrow Glacier cable car ightarrow Blue Moon Valley (the sapphire of the human world) ightarrow Chartered car to Shangri-La Day5: Tiger Leaping Gorge (truly spectacular for those who live in the plains) ightarrow Dukezong Ancient Town (mainly for taking portraits) ightarrow Kunming ightarrow Return home Since my friend graduated from Yunnan Arts University, we didn't go to play in Kunming~ Plus, it wasn't the first wave of tourists, so we went to relatively less crowded attractions. I also recommend the Wuhui Temple in Cangshan that I visited a few years ago, serene and elegant, lush and leisurely. Important tips: Be sure to do a good job with sunscreen! The full gear kind! The first time I went to Dali, I was so busy riding a bike and enjoying the wind on Erhai Lake that I got sunburned and peeled a layer of skin off. As for how to travel, it's up to you. Most of the attractions in Yunnan are very well commercialized. After all, no matter whether you take a plane, a train, or ride a bicycle here, the scenery you see in Yunnan is the same~Z3phyrus_@v@l0n
The spring in Dali captivates me time and againThe city of Dali gives me the feeling of one word: 'slow'! You can enjoy life leisurely here, relax, and stroll through this city known for its 'wind-flower-snow-moon' beauty. The spring 🌱 in Dali is healing and romantic! ✈️Transportation: Dali has both an airport and a high-speed train 🚄, so you can choose your mode of travel according to your needs. 🍲Cuisine: How can you not try the wild mushroom hotpot 🥘 when in Dali? Start with a bowl of mushroom soup, it's so delicious that I ended up having three bowls. The smoked rib hotpot is also a specialty! The smoked ribs paired with the vegetables in the pot 🥗 are not too dry or salty, the meat is juicy, and the vegetables have a light sweet taste that's fresh and delicious. You can also try Erkuai, Yunnan rice noodles 🍜, Shui Xian Yang Hua (a type of vegetable), stone-grilled dishes, and Rushan cheese... Sightseeing: If you can only go to one place in Dali, it must be Erhai Lake, where the journey is filled with beautiful scenery! It's quite nice to sunbathe 🌞, drink coffee ☕️, and browse the market in the ancient city of Dali. There's a market where you can buy lots of cheap, fresh fruit 🍉. Pausing in S Bay of Piaoxi Village by Erhai Lake, you can listen to the crisp calls of seagulls and feel them gliding over the clear waters. There's also a vast field of wheat 🌾, where every snapshot is picturesque. Xizhou Ancient Town is a tranquil and delicate millennium-old town, which is not very big and can be thoroughly explored in about three hours.TravelAddict

One of the most beautiful places I have ever had the privilege of traveling to. The lake is stunning. The old town is stunning and when I went in July, it was not that busy.
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.
