Yunnan Dali

Dali: A poetic residence between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake

Dali is a city that makes people yearn for it. It has magnificent natural scenery and unique Bai culture. As a photography enthusiast, I am deeply attracted by the beauty of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. **The water quality of Erhai Lake is crystal clear.** ![image.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/image_1749102160514.png) It is the most pleasant enjoyment to take a boat tour and enjoy the lake and mountains. The ancient city of Dali is well preserved, and the Bai dwellings, the reflections of the three towers, the wind, flowers, snow and moon and other attractions have their own characteristics. **The three towers of Chongsheng Temple are the landmark buildings of Dali. The thousand-year-old towers have witnessed the historical changes of Dali**. The Bai architecture and tie-dyeing craftsmanship of Xizhou Ancient Town show the unique charm of Bai culture. **Dali's food is also not to be missed. Rushan, Baba fish, bait blocks, etc. are all authentic Bai delicacies. Dali, a city that makes people linger.**

It will be difficult without a strategy. ![image.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/image_1749111296793.png) 2️⃣Buy tickets at GZ "Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base", 55r for adults, 27r for students, free for children under 6 years old (reservation required), free for seniors over 60 years old and no reservation required.
