Dali, you really know how to enjoy the splendor! Dali Stone Inscription Museum (Part III)

Address: Dali Ancient Town, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province The culture of Dali stone has been passed down for a thousand years, enduring through the ages and flourishing today, earning its reputation as the national stone. Dali stone, named after its production in the Cangshan Mountains of Yunnan's Dali (formerly known as Diancang Mountain), belongs to the marble category, including white, black, grey, and greenish-blue types. When the stone is cut, some cross-sections reveal natural patterns resembling traditional Chinese ink paintings. There are many types of similar marbles around the world, but the Dali marble from Yunnan's Cangshan has the best quality and the longest history of mining, hence it is collectively referred to as 'marble' (historically known as Diancang stone, Tianzhu stone, Elm stone, and among the people as foundation stone. Located in the Hengduan Mountains and Yunling Mountain Range, it is also called Yun stone or Cang stone). 🌈 Here, you can see many very distinctive Dali marbles, which is an eye-opening experience.
