Dali Ancient City

#yunnanspots Dali Ancient City is truly a place you’ll want to linger in! The streets are filled with an ancient charm, with white walls, black tiles, and cobblestone paths that make you feel like you've stepped back in time. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but the city is also rich in Bai ethnic culture. You can enjoy authentic Yunnan snacks—highly recommend the "crossing-the-bridge" noodles and cold chicken noodles! If you get tired from walking, you can take a stroll by Erhai Lake or visit the Three Pagodas. The views are absolutely breathtaking.
