Dali is a beautiful and charming ancient city, and its scenery can be summarized in four words: "Xiaguan Wind, Shangguan Flower, Cangshan Snow and Erhai Moon", which are the four famous scenic spots in Dali.

Dali still retains the ancient city wall, walking along the city wall step by step, stroking those bricks gently with your hands, which can't help but make people think.

Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture is located in the western Yunnan Plateau, with Yunling Mountains in the west and Central Yunnan Plateau in the east. It covers an area of about 30,000 square kilometers.

As early as ancient times, the ancestor of the Bai nationality "Herman" thrived in Erhai area, creating Erhai civilization. Yuye County with Dali (the ancient city) as the center was established in Han Dynasty, Nanzhao State in Tang Dynasty and Dali State in Song Dynasty. It has been the political, economic and cultural center of Yunnan for five or six hundred years. The ancient southern land silk road, the only way to go, connected to Sichuan and Tibet in the north and Simao in the south, became an important transportation hub in western Yunnan.

Dali, a tourist attraction that people yearn for and miss infinitely. The local folk customs are simple and hospitable. Guests from afar are very welcome to sit in his yard, and some will send you a cup of green tea to quench your thirst. I am proud to introduce it to you, and please enjoy the flowers, goldfish, antique houses, carved panes and so on. The local folk customs are very helpful. Asking for directions in the street will give you directions and routes carefully. If you have other difficulties, you must try your best to help. If you can't help, I will also tell you how to find the relevant organs and units.

People who have never been to Dali know Dali mostly from two sources. One is a novel by Mr. Jin Yong. In the middle of the novel, the emperor's "one finger magic" points out the mystery of Qingyuan, an ancient country in Nanzhao, which makes people secretly read; In the 1920s and 1960s, Five Golden Flowers, accompanied by a song "Meet in butterfly spring", spread all over the country, and the beautiful scenery of Dali was also widely known.

In fact, Dali is far more than that. Dali has a long history and is known as "a famous literary country". As early as the Neolithic Age, ancient humans lived there. When Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty established a county in Yunnan, Dali was incorporated into the territory of the Han Dynasty. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, two local regimes, Nanzhao State and Dali State, which were subordinate to the Tang and Song Dynasties, successively appeared in Dali. Before the Yuan Dynasty, Dali was always the political, economic and cultural center of Yunnan. Yunnan was established as a province in Yuan Dynasty, and its political, economic and cultural center moved from Dali to Kunming. However, Dali is still the political, economic and cultural center of western Yunnan, and has successively established prefecture-level administrative organs such as Dao, Fu and Administrative Office. From 65438 to 0956, regional ethnic autonomy was implemented and Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture was established. At the same time, Dali is also a transportation hub in western Yunnan. After the reform and opening up, Dali has gradually developed into a commercial and tourist center city in western Yunnan.

A long history and splendid culture have left a wealth of cultural relics and historic sites. Between Yu 'er and Yincang, the natural scenery is beautiful, Cangshan is like a screen, Erhai is like a mirror, and butterfly spring is deep and secluded, with four wonders of "wind, flowers, snow and moon" (Xiaguan wind, Shangguanhua, Cangshan snow and Erhai moon).

Dali is the main settlement of Bai nationality, where ancient and rich Bai customs are preserved. When you are in go to dali, you can learn about the living customs of the Bai people, taste unique Bai flavor foods, buy satisfactory Bai folk handicrafts, and participate in the traditional Dali Bai March Street Festival celebrations.

The ancient city of Dali has attracted self-help tourists from abroad and formed a famous "foreigner street" on the road of protecting the country in the city. Intoxicated by the simple folk customs and long history and culture of the Bai people, they will even stay in Dali for a long time.

Present situation of tourist accommodation in Dali:

Shimonoseki is now the political and economic center of Dali, with relatively complete tourist reception facilities. As a famous tourist city, the accommodation in Dali is divided into Xiaguan and Dali Ancient City.

Many private hotels and guest houses on the road to protect the country in Dali ancient city are converted from old houses, which are antique and charming. It is suggested that tourists might as well try the Bai people's houses in Xizhou, Dali, or the houses by foreigners' street, which are the best places to appreciate the local ethnic customs. The cost is not expensive, generally 20-40 yuan a bed.

Yaxing Hotel (four-star) located on Yu Ye Road in downtown area is the best hotel in Dali. The most famous hotel in Shimonoseki is Manwan Hotel, followed by Cangshan Hotel and Jinda Hotel. Huguo Road in the ancient city of Dali is the residence of self-help tourists from all over the world. There are many small hotels with low prices and good quality.

The delicious food of Dali tourism:

When it comes to the characteristics of Dali catering, three tea, casserole fish and Deng Chuan milk fans should be the first choice.

Most of the best restaurants in Dali are concentrated in the ancient city. To taste Dali cuisine, you can go to Huguo Road in the ancient city, where many foreign tourists gather.

On Baojia Road, western-style cafes with the characteristics of Bai, Tibetan and other ethnic minorities can be seen everywhere. Many restaurants also sell Chinese and western food, and visitors can taste Yunnan-style dishes and local Bai dishes.

Every restaurant here has its own characteristics and different recipes. Among them, Taibailou, which is famous for its "three teas" of Bai nationality and "buttered tea" of Tibetan nationality, is a representative. Drinking tea here and looking around, you will feel as if you are in the United Nations.

Of course, the attraction of the ancient city is not only food, but also cafes and restaurants here provide a quiet and relaxed atmosphere, where people can listen to music, drink cold beer and spend a leisurely afternoon.

Almost all cafes provide tourist information and reservation services, and some even have bicycles for tourists to rent.

Of course, if you come to Yunnan, you should visit Lijiang. The route of Lijiang in Dali can let you enjoy the infinite scenery of the plateau. For example, Cangshan, Erhai, Santai, butterfly spring, Lijiang's ancient cities, ancient towns, Yulong Snow Mountain, and Dali's Naxi culture will all make you feel glad that you are here. Shangri-La is close to Tibet, with high altitude and the most beautiful scenery. If you choose this route, I suggest you take warm clothes, because the altitude is high, and once it rains, the temperature will be quite low, especially in Yulong Snow Mountain and Zhongdian. In Lijiang, you must visit the ancient city in the evening and enjoy the culture there.

As for the transportation fee, I can only quote the price of the tour group. Dali-Lijiang-Zhongdian is generally transported by train and car, and the price does not exceed 1 1,000 yuan/person.
