Dali city In this January I travelled to Dali city where is a gorgeous place located in 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 went there two times before with my parents. Without parents together I feel less restrictive. Dali city is an ancient town with a lot of historical buildings. It is a typical antique city since it is surrounded by city wall and there is a city gate at east, west, north and south respectively. All the path in the town were paved by stone and just allow people to walk or ride bicycles. There are massive stores on both side of the lane which sale all kinds of the local characteristics food, souvenirs and so on. There are also some bars where are the popular place 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 walk. 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.
