Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture is located in the northwest of Yunnan Province, which is a thousand-year-old city. Nanzhao State in Tang Dynasty and Dali State in Song Dynasty used it as the capital, and its long history and culture have made Dali a "famous country of literature".

When talking about Dali, people will first think of its scenery, which is famous for its four wonders: wind, flowers, snow and moon. Three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple dotted between Cangshan Lake and Erhai Lake; Five golden flowers and their beautiful legends; And the fisherman's feelings by the Erhai Lake.

2. Dali is a settlement of Bai people, with rich Bai customs, and the folk culture of three squares, one zhaobi and four-in-five patios has profound connotations; Three tea of Bai nationality has a long taste. During the whole trip to Yunnan, I'm afraid there is no other place where you can deeply feel the unique Bai customs like Dali.

There are two options for accommodation in go to dali. One is to stay in Xiaguan and stay in a star-rated hotel, such as Manwan Hotel, Cangshan Hotel and Jinda Hotel, which are famous in Xiaguan. This is the political and economic center of Dali, and the tourist reception facilities are relatively perfect. The other is to live in the ancient city of Dali, where there are traditional Bai folk houses. Many private hotels and guest houses on the road to protect the country in the ancient city are all converted from old folk houses, which are antique and have great charm. Self-help tourists can better experience Dali's national culture when they stay here.

Most of the best restaurants in Dali are concentrated in the ancient city. If you want to taste Dali cuisine, you can go to Huguo Road in the ancient city. Western cafes with the characteristics of Bai, Tibetan and other ethnic minorities can be seen everywhere, and many foreign tourists are gathered here.

On the road of protecting the country, many restaurants sell both Chinese and western food. Visitors can taste Yunnan-style dishes and local Bai ethnic dishes, among which Taibailou, which is famous both at home and abroad for its Bai ethnic "three tea" and Tibetan "butter tea", is a representative, and many foreigners come here for tea.

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

Reminder: Almost all cafes provide tourist information and booking services, and some also have bicycles for tourists to rent. In Dali, I want to take a few chic little gifts home to give away, so I don't worry about finding a place. In the ancient city or Shimonoseki, you can buy the fourth study made of natural marble.
