Dali
Dali is a place where you will find everything you desire as a tourist - it is blessed with amazing natural beauty, such as the Cangshan Mountains and Erhai Lake; it offers fascinating stories, with its centuries of history as a dynastic capital and ancestral lands; and, it includes diverse ethnic cultures, as home of the Bai, Hui, Yi, Lisu and other ethnic minorities.
A stroll through this aged city is like unraveling a picture of the ancient lifestyles of Dali. With its paved roads and ancient architecture, with black-tiled roofs lining both sides, the renovated streets retain their original look.
