Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Located at the foot of the beautiful Cangshan Mountain, Dali Ancient City is the capital of ancient Nanzhao and Dali countries. With a slow pace lifestyle, a relatively warm climate and beautiful natural surroundings, it is a very conducive place for living. Combing the ancient city for artsy shops and hipster cafes is a very therapeutic and thrilling experience. The third and fourth month of the lunar calendar is filled with a lot of local festivals. The famous San Yue Jie or "Third Month Street", is the biggest festival of the year for local Bai people. Merchants come from far and wide to set up street markets and sell their interesting array of goods. There's also horse racing, archery and other competitions throughout the day. Join in the fun if you happen to be there!

The most recommended place to see cherry blossoms in DaliHow many places are there for cherry blossoms in Dali? The most recommended is the Cherry Blossom Road in the residential area👏 1⃣️Dali University cherry blossoms, not fully open to the public, movie tickets or tea house reservation tickets can enter, or go to the residential area to need the homeowner to call the security, relatively troublesome. Recommendation index🌟🌟🌟 2⃣️Boai Road in Dali Ancient City, there are cherry trees on both sides of the road, you can also take simple photos. Recommendation index🌟🌟🌟 3⃣️Dali Landscape Community, the northeast gate of the villa area in the east is open to the public, no access card is set. Now the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and particularly beautiful, there are more people, choose to come at noon or in the morning to avoid the crowd. There are also large areas of cherry blossoms in the community, several cherry blossom roads, cherry blossom bridges, cherry blossom steps, cherry blossom reflections by the water, you need to report the door number to enter, parking is charged.

Beneath the Cang Mountain, beside the Erhai Lake, the romantic and hardworking Bai people are writing the glorious pages of the Nanzhao Kingdom. As the sunset falls, the city walls appear even more ancient and majestic. At night, the moonlight sprinkles on the Erhai Lake, listening to the sound of the wind, it seems to be whispering.

Sitting on a chair or in a bridge hole to take photos, the atmosphere is instantly full, don't miss it if you like photography. Longkan Wharf: Watching a sunrise at Longkan Wharf is incredibly healing. Although the sequoias have withered, it does not affect the quality of the photos.

Haiyu Park: Under the blue sky and white clouds, it's like a scene from an oil painting. The famous Couple's Tree is here, romantic and healing.

Dali Travel Nanny-level GuideTwo adults and one child went to Dali and Xichang for eight days and seven nights, spending a total of 5200 yuan. My friends all asked me to write a guide to learn some money-saving tips, so here I am, come in and copy your homework. ✈️How to get to Dali: 💰Super money-saving plan: Chengdu→Guangtong North, sleeper ticket price 178. Sleep for a night and you'll arrive, take the high-speed train from Guangtong North to Dali, the journey takes one hour and 15 minutes, the ticket price is 66 yuan. Isn't it fragrant to buy delicious food with the money saved? 🏨Where to stay in Dali? This time in Dali, we changed four places, the ancient city, Cai Village, Wase, Shuanglang. Here are the pros and cons of these places: 1. The ancient city is very convenient, close to everywhere. It is recommended to stay in the ancient city on the first day you arrive in Dali; 2. Cai Village, close to Haixi Ecological Corridor, convenient for watching the sunrise, cycling, not far from the ancient city; highly recommend Cai Village! 3. Shuanglang Ancient Town: Beautiful scenery, slightly expensive, you can find some cost-effective homestays. 4. Near Xiaoputuo, Wase Town, the scenery is very good, open the window is the sea. High cost performance. But it's not very convenient to travel, there are not many attractions around. Suitable for people who like quiet, sunbathing, daze and slow life to live. The feeling of stealing half a day of leisure. ❤️It is recommended to stay in Haixi for two days, Cai Village or Dali Ancient City, and then stay in Haidong for one to two days, Wase Town or Shuanglang Ancient Town. Because Haixi and Haidong in Dali have their own characteristics, if time permits, stay in both places to feel it. 🌅Three-day itinerary guide is here: Day1. From various places to Dali, visit Dali Ancient City, climb Wuhua Tower to overlook, visit Bedsheet Factory Art District, braid a colorful braid, eat some Dali snacks, bait block, milk fan can try. In the evening, it is recommended to eat Dai-flavored hand-grabbed rice, the one I ate is called Daiyuan, the environment is good, the photo is good, you can also wear Dai costumes for free photos. Day 2. Haixi tour. Watch the sunrise in Cai Village, it is recommended to go out at 7:30 to take a taxi. After watching the sunrise, have breakfast, officially start the lake cycling. Outside electric cars 🛵 can't get in, cars can't get in. It is recommended to rent a shared electric car inside, 15 yuan per hour. The route is Cai Village→S Bay→Langqiao→Haijiao Park. Then take a tricycle to Xizhou Ancient Town. Visit Xizhou Ancient Town in the afternoon. Then take a minibus at the entrance of Xizhou Ancient Town back to the ancient city, 10 yuan per person. Day3.

One of the most beautiful places I have ever had the privilege of traveling to. The lake is stunning. The old town is stunning and when I went in July, it was not that busy.
Dali Ancient City is good ～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～;～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～;～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
When I came to Dali for a business trip, I had half-sky leisure, so I chose to visit the ancient city of Dali. Take a taxi directly from the city to the south gate of Dali Ancient City, and there is a big Weibo Xiaolang doll at the door. There is no ticket for the ancient city 🎫, and you will enter the north-south main road of Fuxing Road in the ancient city through the city gate. Dali Ancient Town is mainly composed of three horizontal and one vertical main roads, like the "Feng" word of harvest, Fuxing Road is this longitudinal central axis that runs through the north and south, and there will be several east-west branches in the middle. There are many places worth visiting and taking pictures in the ancient town, such as Dali Museum, Bed linen Factory Art District, Wuhua Building, Catholic Church ⛪️, Yubai Garden. It is recommended to visit the Dali City Museum and board the Wuhua Building from a high place to overlook the panoramic view of the ancient city. To Dali ancient city, also taste the local snacks, so you can't miss the milk fan and fried bait block. The milk fan has two methods of roasting milk fan and fried milk fan. I tasted the fried milk fan and wiped the sauce. The taste is OK, but because it is too crisp, I accidentally fell to the ground a large piece, everyone should pay attention. Fried bait block is a rice food, wrapped in accessories and cut into small pieces to put a bowl, and then pour some raw pumping, the taste is very good, the price of two snacks is not expensive, are 5 yuan, there will be cheaper. There are many other local specialties in the ancient city, because of time problems, there is not one to taste. Transportation: 1. There is a bus from Dali City to Dali Ancient City. However, for tourists, it is recommended to charter a car or take a taxi. It is more convenient. The journey is about 40 minutes. The return journey depends on whether it is the peak point. The peak point is about 50 minutes. 2. It is recommended to park at the south gate, go to the ancient city from the south to the north, and then take a taxi back to the city from the north, without going back. Tickets: free
It is no different from the ancient city in other places. It is all inns, restaurants, bars, and selling things. There are many local residents living in the ancient city of Dali, there are schools, hospitals, etc., motor vehicles can still enter and exit, not completely facing tourists.
