🌄 Dali Old Town & Flavors by Erhai Lake 🍲✨

Dali is more than just breathtaking views of Erhai and Cangshan—it’s a living mosaic of food, streets, and traditions. 🍲 Flavors of Yunnan – From steaming herbal hotpots filled with mushrooms, goji berries, and mountain herbs to street snacks along lantern-lit alleys, every meal feels rooted in both healing and indulgence. 🏮 Old Town Nights – When evening falls, Dali Old Town glows. Willow trees bend over stone walkways, music drifts from cozy cafés, and locals and travelers gather by the water channels for tea, laughter, and late-night bites. 🏔 Mountains & Streets – Between cobblestoned alleys and tiled rooftops, the Cangshan range rises dramatically—reminding you that nature is always close, even in the heart of town. ✈️ Above the Clouds – On a clear flight out, the snow peaks pierce through endless skies, sealing the memory of Dali as a place where earth and heaven seem to meet. Dali is a journey you taste, walk, and breathe in—one bowl, one street, one mountain view at a time.

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.
