Dali - Filming Studio for “Tian Long Ba Bu”.

28 October 2007 - Dali
5th day – morning


Today is the 5th day of our trip. We were visiting the Filming Studio for “Tian Long Ba Bu”. In order not to miss the door opening ceremony, we have to reach there before 9.00 am. There were variety shows like acrobatic and lion dance on the way into the film studio.




We took a horse-cart to go round the hill for sightseeing instead of walking. We were inside the studio for about 3 hours. It was quite boring.



The Dali local tourist guide of the Bai Ethnic who was wearing the white Bai costume was not very professional. There was no explaination and the arrangement was in a mess

Erhai Lake (the Ear Sea Lake – 洱海公园 )

We reached Erhai Lake (the Ear Sea Lake – 洱海公园 ) at 6.00 pm. It was very windy. The natural scenery with willow trees and some fishing bouts floating in the lake that surrounded by mountains is beautiful.



Everyone was busy taking photographs.
On the way to dinner we took a view of the Three Pagodas that standing stately at the foot of Cangshan Mountain from afar. These three pagodas are symbol of the Bai’s culture and is a protected cultural unit.

The hotel we were staying was Asia Star Hotel, a five star hotel owned by a Taiwanese.
