Dali is synonymous with Yunnan's "wind, flowers, snow, and moon." It backs against Cangshan Mountain and faces Erhai Lake, making it an excellent escape from the city's noise. Here, you can cycle around Erhai Lake, watching the rippling blue waves and the drifting white clouds create a charming scene; Or stroll through the ancient city of Dali, weaving through bluestone alleys and rustic Bai ethnic homes, experiencing the leisurely and slow life of the ancient Nanzhao kingdom.
Don't forget to check in at Xizhou Ancient Town for the pastoral scenery and watch the sunset at the seaside guesthouse in Shuanglang. In terms of food, the crispy outside, tender Xizhou Baba and the unique grilled milk fan are sure to satisfy your taste buds. If you visit the third lunar month, you can catch the lively "March Street" ethnic festival. Dali's charm goes beyond its mountains and rivers, but also in its lazy and leisurely everyday atmosphere, making it hard to leave once you arrive.
