Lying between the Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake makes Dali a beautiful city with stunning landscapes and a nice climate. As one of Yunnan‘s most popular destinations, it is famous for the well-preserved ancient city, minority customs, and the untouched villages nearby (Xizhou, Zhoucheng, Nuodeng, Shaxi, Weishan, etc.).
For luxury travelers, there are a Hilton and an Indigo Hotel in town. However, the most recommendable ones are the local boutique hotels, basically in two areas, the ancient city (for those who prefer shopping, nightlife, convenient facilities within walking distance) and the villages around Erhai Lake (for those who prefer relaxing in the tranquil villages).
