[2025 Dali Attraction] Travel Guide for Wuhua Building (Updated Oct)

| Experience the Local Life in Yunnan. Hi, everyone! 👋 I just finished a wonderful 6-day tour of Yunnan and I must share this treasure of a guide with you! Along the way, I saw stunning natural scenery and experienced rich ethnic customs. Every place was intoxicating. Follow my footsteps and travel with me! 👇 🌆Day 1: Kunming - Dianchi Lake - Kunming Old Street Arrive in Kunming and head to Dianchi Lake 🏞. In winter, Dianchi Lake is a paradise for black-headed gulls. Flocks of black-headed gulls circle and frolic on the lake. They are not afraid of people at all. When you hold bread in your hand, they will fly over and fight for food. The scene is so interesting! Interact and take photos with these lovely little elves. Every photo is a blockbuster! 📷 In the evening, visit Kunming Old Street. The ancient street is full of life. The bluestone road and wooden buildings seem to tell the story of Kunming's past. The street is full of snacks, such as rice noodles, tofu rice noodles, and Guandu Baba. Every bite will let you feel the unique flavor of Kunming. Your taste buds will be instantly ignited! 😍 🌅Day 2: Kunming - Dali - Dali Ancient City Depart from Kunming in the morning and head to Dali. As soon as you arrive in Dali Ancient City, you will be attracted by its simplicity and tranquility. The Wuhua Tower stands tall and witnesses the changes of time. The Bai-style buildings in the ancient city are unique, with blue tiles and white walls, and exquisite wood carvings and stone carvings can be seen everywhere. Stroll through the streets of the ancient city. The small shops line the streets, including ethnic clothing stores, handicraft stores, and specialty food stores. Here, you can slow down, pick a favorite tie-dye dress, and try a Xizhou Baba to feel the leisure and comfort of Dali. 🎁 🌊Day 3: Dali - Erhai Lake - Cangshan Mountain Erhai Lake is the soul of Dali. 🌊 Rent a car and drive along Erhai Lake. The scenery is breathtaking. The sunrise at Longkan Wharf is like a gorgeous painting. The sun rises slowly from the lake, and the golden light shines on the water. The S-bend of Panxi is a great place to take photos. The S-shaped bend and the blue sky and white clouds make for an Instagram-worthy photo. In the afternoon, take the cable car to Cangshan Mountain. 🏔 The vegetation on Cangshan Mountain is lush, and the fresh air seems to cleanse the soul. Standing on the top of the mountain, overlooking the entire city of Dali and Erhai Lake, the magnificent scenery is breathtaking. There are also clear streams and waterfalls in the mountains. Enjoy the scenery along the way and feel relaxed and happy. 🌃Day 4: Dali - Lijiang - Lijiang Ancient City Arrive in Lijiang Ancient City and feel like you have traveled back in time. The streets in the ancient city are built along the water, and the houses are scattered, full of Naxi style. The bustling Sifang Street is full of people, and various specialty products fill the stalls. Lijiang Ancient City is even more charming at night. Red lanterns are hung high, and melodious songs come from the bars. Find a quiet bar, order a drink, and enjoy the gentle night. 🌙 🏔Day 5: Lijiang - Jade Dragon Snow Mountain - Blue Moon Valley Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is the sacred mountain of the Naxi people. 🏔 From a distance, the peaks are undulating, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow. The snow shines silver in the sunlight. Take the cable car up the mountain. As the altitude increases, the scenery becomes more and more spectacular. When you reach the top of the mountain, you can overlook the surrounding mountains. The sense of accomplishment of conquering the mountain arises spontaneously. After descending the mountain, visit Blue Moon Valley. The lake here is a dreamy blue, clear to the bottom. The minerals at the bottom of the lake emit a charming light in the sunlight. The surrounding snow-capped mountains are reflected in the lake, forming a beautiful picture, as if you are in a fairyland. 🌄Day 6: Lijiang - Lashi Lake On the last day, visit Lashi Lake, a beautiful plateau lake. You can choose to take a kayak and cruise on the lake to feel the tranquility and gentleness of the lake. You can also ride a horse and walk along the Ancient Tea Horse Road. Listening to the sound of horses' hooves, you will feel like you have traveled back to the ancient trade route. The surrounding natural scenery is beautiful, with rolling mountains and lush trees, making you feel happy. Everyone, the 6-day tour of Yunnan is really wonderful! The beautiful scenery, delicious food, and cultural experience along the way are unforgettable. If you also yearn for a poetic and romantic trip, pack your bags and come to Yunnan! You will definitely have a lot of good memories. 💕

#Get a discount without relying on luck. Dali Old Town has a history of over 1,200 years. The atmosphere is very good. There are a lot of people and it is very lively. The city has a charm like being in ancient China. Plus, if the weather is good, you will be able to see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. When I went, cherry blossoms were blooming, which was beautiful in a different way. But during the day, the weather was quite hot. Plus, the strong smell of cigarettes made me want to walk around the city a lot less. The landmark here is Wuhua Tower, an ancient tower for viewing the city. It was destroyed during the war, but now it has been restored and maintains the original architectural style. Normally, it is open for viewing in the morning and evening or from 08.00-21.00 hrs. Restaurants are open and closed. #DaliAncientTown #DaliAncientTown

Wandering through Dali Ancient Town, you’ll be enchanted by the vibrant Bai culture—especially the tie-dyed fabrics fluttering in the sunlight, their indigo patterns blending with the cobblestone streets.

Beautiful Dali with flowers, snow and moon Dali is backed by Cangshan Mountain and faces Erhai Lake. It has beautiful scenery and is very comfortable, suitable for a slow life experience.

There is a yard full of succulents, which is very suitable for bringing children to experience Dali life. There is also free pick-up and drop-off in the ancient city.

I see tourists making the same mistakes every day. I recommend saving this guide to avoiding them! 🚗Transportation 1️⃣Don’t hail a taxi at the entrance of the ancient city! Drivers love to recommend "local exclusive routes", but they actually charge 30% more for taking a detour. Using online ride-hailing services is more transparent. 2️⃣ Take a video of the entire car before renting an electric car! A customer was charged 500 yuan for scratches. 3️⃣Don’t believe the rickshaw driver who says “I’ll take you to visit the ancient city for 5 yuan”, because he will take you to a shopping store and take a cut. 🍜 Food 1️⃣ Don’t buy the 3 boxes of fruit slices sold for 10 yuan on Renmin Road! Overnight fruit soaked in saccharin will cause diarrhea after eating 2️⃣Be careful when ordering the internet-famous bamboo tube milk tea! 28 yuan/cup of non-dairy creamer, I recommend drinking authentic Yunnan small-grain coffee 3️⃣ Choose a shop with exhaust pipes for Baizu slate grill! Otherwise, the smell of oil smoke will not go away for three days after eating. 🏠Accommodation 1️⃣Don’t book a B&B with a "Sky Mirror" in the picture! These are all photoshop effects. In reality, a glass is placed on the roof. 2️⃣If there are suspicious yellow stains on the bed sheets, change rooms immediately! It is humid and prone to mold in the rainy season. It is recommended to stay in the Yu'er Road Hotel 3️⃣ Be wary of innkeepers recommending "pure play tours", many of which are disguised as shopping tours 🛍Shopping scam prevention 1️⃣Don’t go into a silver shop with inflated prices! To get real 999 silver, you need to look at the certificate number. It is recommended to go to a state-owned store. 2️⃣Don’t buy the "wild mushrooms" sold by old ladies on the roadside! Most of them are artificially grown and dried to pass for 3️⃣ Turn around and leave if the shawl is more than 35 yuan! The wholesale price in March Street is only 18 yuan ✨Special Reminder 1️⃣ Take photos before 10 am for the best results! Avoid the tour group crowds 2️⃣Don’t wear white shoes on rainy days! The bluestone road will be splashed with mud spots 3️⃣ When renting ethnic costumes, ask clearly whether there is an additional charge for headwear, as there are often hidden charges It is recommended to collect this nanny-level guide. I hope you will encounter only beautiful things and no pitfalls in the romantic Dali~ 🌸
