Dali Local Customs: 18 reviews and 50 photos
The main inhabitants of the region in and around Dali are the Bai, who number about 1.5 million. In Dali they make up 65% of the population and the best place to go and witness their daily activities is in the market that lies in a street straight outside the West Gate. The Bai people favour white clothes and decorations. White in Chinese is pronounced 'Bai', so maybe this is where their name derives from. Women in Dali traditionally wear a white coat trimmed with a black or purple collar, blue loose trousers; embroider shoes, silver bracelets and ear rings.
