Dali Ancient City lies in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, with Cangshan Mountain behind it and Erhai Lake in front. Historically the capital of the Nanzhao and Dali kingdoms, it has a deep cultural heritage.
The old city retains its gates, gate towers and a grid-like street layout, where Bai-style dwellings and everyday life interweave; within it you can taste Bai cuisine and buy handicrafts. Visitors can also tour Erhai Lake and climb Cangshan Mountain to enjoy Dali's landscapes and culture.
