When I was planning my trip to Yunnan, I realised that the time was not enough for both Dali and Zhongdjan and so I seriously thought to skip Dali.
Fortunatly my friend Titti told me absolutely not to miss that town as it was definitly worth.
And anyway, thanks to Titti and Dali, I got to go also to Zhongdian!
- In a nutshell:not to be missed

Lovely Dali travel page with interesting restaurants tips. Three Pagodas and the Old Town are certainly among the popular tourist attractions there. Yak deep fried meat must be one of the popular dishes for the tourists. ~ho & pang.
Jim's Tibetan Hotel sounds like a great place to stay (and eat yak meat), and I'm glad to learn that they get their hot water using solar panels on the roof, even if there isn't as much sunshine as in Italy.
Aah, I'm jealous of you. Haven't been to Yunnan province yet, and definitely Dali is on my list. Definitely I'll go there in the coming years!
nice pictures u have....Thanks for the info :)
Great page of Dali. Hope to get there soon. Interesting stuff about yak meat and electric mini-trams. Cheers, SL :)
Non spicy food huh! hmmm
ma non ci si racconta altro? Ci sarà pure un intriguing tip... qualcosa da ST, ad esempio... :-))
E quelli sarebbero vestiti per bimbi??? bimbi di chi di et??Camera con dvd e le solite baracche?
Sounds like an excellent accomodation tip!
Wonderful, useful tips about Dali. I can see why you are glad you listened to your friend and went. Excellent hotel.
