Dali

Dali City, located in western Yunnan Province, China, was the capital of the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom and Dali Kingdom. Dali City is inhabited by a concentration of minority peoples, mainly the Bai. At the heart of this scenic area is Dali Old Town, north of which stands the Three Pagodas of the Chongsheng Temple, a legacy of the Nanzhao and Dali Kingdoms. On the periphery of simple and elegant Dali are the majestic Cang Mountain and charming Erhai Lake.
