Just back from Dali, and honestly, it’s a laid-back paradise you’ll want to slow down and soak up ☀️🛍️ Bamboo handicrafts, street food, and chill vibes everywhere—here’s how to make the most of a relaxing day exploring Dali’s coolest spots. Top Spots to Visit in Dali: 1. 三月街 Market Luckily enough to visit according to their lunar calendar. So fascinating and interesting to shop around. 2. Dali Ancient Town (大理古城) Start your stroll early for fewer crowds. The sun hits the streets just right, making window shopping super photogenic. Dive into local markets with rows of bamboo baskets, hats, and handmade fans—perfect for gifts or Insta pics. Address: Dali Ancient Town, Dali City, Yunnan. Hours: 7:30am–11pm. 3. 寂照庵 Strolling up to the nunnery, their vegetarian food is delicious, there is 2 other temple that’s is worth to visit too. It’s always glad to leave with some regrets so they next time you will look forward to visit again! Travel Tips: - Shopping: Bargain gently! Dali vendors expect it and it’s part of the fun. - Dress light—perfect weather for a striking red dress and comfy sandals. - Try the street-side food stalls near market corners; the cheese sticks and fresh fruit are delicious. - Getting around: Walking is best! Everything’s close, just pack your sunnies and a water bottle. - No visa needed for most countries, but always check. Cash still rules in smaller shops, so bring enough RMB.
