Dali
 Located
between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake,
Dali is a legendary backpackers paradise
famous for its cafes and guesthouses where
the China traveler can relax with a cold
beer, great tunes, and a cheap lodging.
Aside from being a backpacker paradise,
the city has a long history dating back
some 1000 years, during which it was the
capital of Nanzhao Kingdom during the Tang
Dynasty. The area is famous for its natural
beauty and the ethnic culture of the Bai
people.
 One
thing to bear in mind when traveling here,
is that the Dali travelers arrive in from
Kunming is not the same Dali renowned as
a backpakers getaway. In fact, the bus from
Kunming arrives in a town known as Dali
City, a local administrative municipality
that is officially known as Xiaguan. Therefore,
our coverage of Dali includes both Xiaguan
and the ancient city of Dali (known as Dali
Gucheng), where most travelers head straight
for.
