Travel by High-Speed Rail | Avoiding the cold, I spent a warm winter in Dali Ancient City

To avoid the cold in the north, I flew to Yunnan to spend a warm winter, and once again came to Dali Ancient City to experience the historical and cultural heritage of Dali. Dali Ancient City is the old site of the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom. The word 'Dali' first appeared in the name of the 11th king of the Nanzhao Kingdom, Meng Shilong's 'Dali Country'. 'Li' is homophonic with 'Li', so 'Dali' means 'great governance, enrich the country and strengthen the nation'. 🌈Highlights: ✅South Gate Tower of Dali Ancient City: The busiest place in the ancient city, you can overlook the ancient city and half of Erhai Lake after climbing the tower. ✅Wuhua Tower: Built in the Tang Dynasty, it was once the guest house of the Nanzhao Kingdom, but was later destroyed by war. The current tower was rebuilt in 1998 and is known as the 'First Tower in the South'. You can climb the tower for free, overlook Cangshan Erhai, sit and watch the wind, flowers, snow and moon, especially charming at night. ✅People's Road: The longest old street in Dali Ancient City, where you can fully experience the lazy slow time of Dali. ✅Foreigner Street: The street is full of coffee shops, art and cultural creation shops, clothing stores, and the Buddhist stall owners along the way are waiting for you to tease. ✅President's General Marshal's Mansion: Now the Dali City Museum, the place where Dali City's cultural relics are collected, researched and displayed. If you want to understand the culture of Dali Ancient City, come here to see. ✅Wu Temple Fair: Also known as Guandi Temple. It can accommodate thousands of people. The Wu Temple architectural complex is one of Dali's cultural heritages and has great historical and cultural value. 🎫Tickets: Free to visit the ancient city 🚗Transportation: Take the high-speed rail to Dali Station and change to a special car to Dali Ancient City.
