The spring in Dali is picturesque, avoiding the peak season, now is the best time to visit.
I really enjoyed the unique and special experience of Dali Ancient City! I really loved the design and atmosphere. I would definitely recommend going to Dali Ancient City
Dali Ancient City is a captivating destination that offers a blend of historical charm, cultural richness, and natural beauty. Despite the potential for crowds and commercialization, the city remains a must-visit for those interested in exploring the heritage and landscapes of Yunnan Province.
Dali Ancient City boasts beautiful scenery, well-preserved ancient architecture, and rich cultural history, making it an ideal destination for travelers.
Dali Ancient City, no tickets are required, I came in during the day, it was quite big, there were several areas inside, we couldn't find them. Because I am a team, I gave 2 hours. I think if you want to play well, it is best to come in the afternoon and play together at night. To play well. I ate beef skewers for 10 yuan and flower cakes for 10 yuan for four. No packaging. After the trip came out, I bought a box of flower cakes, which was delicious in the ancient city.
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.
A historic ancient city in Dali with rich cultures, best to explore to witness the old streets, towers, city gates, museums, shops and bars. You must visit the main gates and towers such as Dali Old Town South Gate, Wuhua Tower as these were preserved since several hundreds of years ago.
