Many people begin their trips here before heading to more remote places like Lijiang, Lake Lugu and Shangrila, or retreat to comforts away the harsh travels.
With a history of one thousand year, Ancient Dali Town is one of the most popular tour destinations for tourists at home and abroad.
The Symbol of The City
The Three Pagodas are the symbol of the city. With more than 1,800 years history, Three Pagodas are made of three ancient independent pagodas forming a symmetrical triangle. This is unique in China. Three pagodas are a must see for any tourists who visit Dali.
Costumes of Bai People
'Feng (Wind), Hua (Flower), Xue (Snow), Yue (Moon)', the Chinese phrase used for romantic, are the four outstanding characteristics of Dali scenery. Beautiful Bai women embroider all of them on their costume. The white fringe on the side of their hat presents the wind. Bai people call the color of Camellia-red as 'Head of Lion' which they like to decorate in front of their hat, on their belt, sleeves and pants. The white tassels on the top of their hat symbolize the snow of the Cangshan Mountains. The crescent moon shaped of the hat symbolizes the moon on the Erhai Lake.
Unique Bai Style Architecture
The famous example is the Yan Family's Big Courtyard in the central part of Xizhou. The house is of the typical Bai design known as "Sanfang Yizhaobi" (a courtyard rooms on three sides and a screen wall on the remaining side) and "Sihe Wutianjing" (one big courtyard with four smaller ones at the four corners of the main one). The house puts great emphasis on designing the front gate of the compound, because it shows the owner economic status and also is the symbol of bringing honor to his ancestor. The doors and windows are engraved with the figures of different birds and flowers. The walls are decorated with wash paintings.
The Three-Course Tea
The Three-Course Tea of the Bai ethnic minority is a dramatic tea ceremony. This ceremony was originally held by the senior members of a family to express best wishes to juniors when they were going to pursue studies, learn a skill, start a business or get married. Now, to drink Three-Course Tea has become a conventional ceremony when people of the Bai ethnic minority greet guests.
The first course smells a little bitter; the second course is a bit sweet (adding candy and walnut pieces in it); and the third course is memorable (with condiments in it). One will find flavor of sweet, sour, bitter, and pungent in the tea which reminds the taster of bitter comes first, sweet comes second.
