About Dali
Dali is an old walled town in Yunnan between the Cangshan mountains and Erhai Lake, home of the Bai people and of the three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple.
Dali lies on a plateau in north-west Yunnan, between the 4,000-metre ridge of the Cangshan range and the long blue Erhai Lake. The old town has Ming-style walls, cobbled lanes and Bai houses with whitewashed walls and carved eaves, while the three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, dating from the ninth to the eleventh centuries, are the symbol of the region. Dali was the heart of the Nanzhao and Dali kingdoms until the Mongol conquest of 1253.
