The Dali is a must go place on your list if you would like to see spectacular mountains, blue sky, vast lake (so vast that local name it as sea) just below the mountains and last but not least the great Buddhist temple with the famous three ancient pagodas which you will need to climb a lot of stairs to reach.
The untouched ancient city bring you back to the old dynasty. Food, way of life and building resemble the same old days of once upon a time.
We entered Dali Ancient Town by the North Gate. From the North Gate to the Foreigner Street, the shops and goods were of much interest as they cater mainly to locals.
Main attractions are the 3 pagodas/temple and Dali old town (once a fortified city). The new city (Xiaguan) at the south end of Erhai Lake should not be missed either.
The city of Dali is more modern than I first imagined. A tour around the Er Hai lake is a must. On a good clear day, take a cruise at the lake.
The Demi-Gods and Semi-Demons studio city was surprisingly interesting, a good place for photos. The Three Pagodas was very expensive (121 yuan, $20), and of little interest and commercial, very bland, like a theme park.
Dali is a very relaxing place. However, not a good place for shopping or horse riding, as I found all the souvenirs I bought here are generally more expensive than in LiJiang or Shangrila.
Spend time in Dali Gucheng (the old city of Dali), it is a great place to hang around and meet people, local or foreign.
Dali is very nice place and it's worth visiting for 2-3 nights. I like the atmosphere of the old town.
Spectacular old city in beautiful surroundings. Mountins, lake and a number of deligtful villages. On the Down side, really crowded with tourists.
Charmimg town with full of culture and beautiful architecture. Definitely have to visit the old Town.
Dali is more suitable for people that are adventurous and enjoy outdoor activities. I would suggest visiting the Er Hai Lake due to its beautiful scenery.
Dali ancient town is relatively bigger than ancient towns in Lijiang. Thus it is not so crowded. Generally, I found the people in Dali are friendlier than those in Lijiang.
Dali old town is in the same transformation process from ancient town that Lijiang suffered. The town is covered by souvenir shops selling the same stuff you will get in all china.
Watch out for Dali tour booked from local agent. They force tourist to shop and does not allow any tourist to leave the tour half way.
Nice people with a solid expat base so you can navigate through the city without chinese languiage skills :) and you always find a place to eat something western :)
Friendly (Bai) people. More cosmopolitan then Lijiang. Surprisingly, my stay in Dali is more enjoyable and extended extra 2 days.
There's lots to do here. The area has small villages you can visit. You can hike around the Cangshan Mtn.
We found it difficult to navigate our way around Dali. We had with us a Chinese companion and a driver and still were very frustrated trying to communicate and see the things we intended to see.
After traveling in northern China and hitting a lot of the more prominent cities, Old Dali was a jewel of a find.
If you stay in Xakwan, the city centre of Dali, you can have train station and long distance bus station.
Dali is a nice lovely town. We went to some nice local restaurants recommended by our hotel Dali Encounter Hotel which did not disappoint.
We toured Dali before leaving for Lijiang, and we prefer Dalizhen over Lijaing many times over. Where Lijiang is overly commercialized, Dali still retains its old charm and if you have time to explore the many alleys and streets, you will have many pleasant finds and interesting photos.
Rent a bike and go around - there are a number of good markets in the villages surrounding 'old Dali'.
