Dali City

This January, I travelled to Dali City, where is a gorgeous place located in the Yunnan Province nearby the Earhai Lake and Diancang Mountain.There is a great abundance of sunshine in this area throughout the year.This was my first time to go there alone, though I went there two times before with my parents. Without my parents, together I feel less restricted.

Dali City is an ancient town with a lot of historical buildings. It is a typical antique city since it is surrounded by city walls and there is a city gate at the east, west, north and south respectively. All the paths in the town were paved by stone and just allow people to walk or ride bicycles. There are massive stores on both sides of the streets which sale all kinds of the local characteristics food, souvenirs and so on. There are also some bars that are popular places to enjoy nightlife among young people.

In my view, the best way to enjoy the time in Dali is to rent a bicycle so that you get anywhere easier than walking. You can ride to the Erhai Lake to appreciate the fascinating scenery of nature. Believe me, you will love what you see there very much.

Here is a photo of the Erhai Lake taken by myself.
