About Dali
Dali is best understood as a lake-and-mountain destination rather than one compact city. Xiaguan is the modern transport hub, Dali Ancient City is the most convenient traveller base, and the quieter Erhai villages suit slower stays with cycling, lake light and Bai culture. You’ll get the most from Dali if you choose your base carefully, allow time for transfers, and don’t try to cover the whole lake in a single casual outing.
Where to stay in Dali
Each is a different version of the city. Choose by mood and the room follows.
