Kunming - Dali

4th day – afternoon - Dali



We started our journey to Dali just after lunch by coach. The whole journey took about 4 ½ hours. “Xiao He” did not follow us to Dali. Without him the whole journey was so quiet and boring. Everybody missed him a lot.

Dali in northwest Yunnan is a famous historical and cultural city of China and a national scenic zone. Dali is a major habitat for the ethnic Bai people, whose folkways are at once time-honoured and distinctive. The ancient city of Dali was first built during the early Ming; today only two city gate-towers are still there. The dwellings of the Bai people, however, are in perfect condition. The Bai is a tribe that loves flowers and likes white colour.
