Ready to soak up some stunning

Ready to soak up some stunning scenery and laid-back vibes in Dali? 🍞🌇 My trip was all about epic rooftop sunsets over the Dali Ancient City, delicious street eats, and those classic Yunnan skylines. If Chinese architecture and golden hour landscapes get you hyped, keep reading!

Top Spots to Visit — Dali Ancient City Guide:
1. Dali Ancient City (No. 42, Yita Road, Gucheng District, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture)
This entire area is an open-air museum of classic Chinese architecture and vibrant lifestyle. Wander the alleys for Insta-worthy rooftops and angled sunset shots. The city is open all hours, so time your strolls for either sunrise or sundown for magical views.

2. Rooftop Hangouts: Find a café or guesthouse rooftop just before dusk. Locals and travelers all love these spots for a chill sunset scene over tiled roofs and distant mountains.

Foodie Tips:
The Dali old town is packed with bakeries — grab some fresh bread or sample the grilled meats from street vendors. Don’t skip local flower cakes for a sweet treat. The food here is seriously underrated, so snack while you walk!

How to Get Around:
Skip taxis — rent an e-bike! The old town area is super walkable, and e-bikes make it easy to zip between hidden corners without missing sunset. All main spots are clustered, so there’s zero fuss with maps.

Extra Tips:
Cash is handy but Alipay/WeChat Pay are also widely accepted. Weather’s best in spring and fall (think sunny, mild afternoons and cool evenings). No visa hassle for most major nationalities—just check trip.com for entry requirements.
