  • We head up to the north of Yunnan towards Dali, we planned one night and ended up there fort two weeks. Dali is a city in China’s southwestern Yunnan province, on the shores of Erhai Lake. Its history stretches back to the kingdom of Nanzhao (8th century). The walled old city, from the Ming dynasty, contains traditional homes and towers from the Bai ethnic minority. Beyond the old city rise the Three Pagodas of Chong Sheng Temple, dating to the 9th century.

      Imho, I think Lijiang has more scenic natural beautiful village ambience. The canals the lined nearly every small street, in the village gives it a vibe that is only found there. I stayed there for 7 days, and the night scene is like a quiet and relaxed fairyland. Every bar and restaurant there is so laid-back, and peaceful, esp. when it is one storey up from the pedestrian walkway, overlooking the plaza-like square the is at the centre of the radially spread out walkways/tiny streets.

    Watching you go from being a bit lost when you first arrived in China to now fully enjoying life here, experiencing the kindness of strangers on the streets, and savoring authentic local food, I can't help but shed tears. The more extreme the Western media's portrayal of China, the stronger the sense of contrast felt by every visitor who has experienced the kindness of the Chinese people firsthand. I am a Chinese student pursuing a master's degree in Italy. When I see how deeply many Europeans misunderstand China, I don't feel sad for China-I feel sad for these Europeans. Accepting everything in the Western media without critical thought-isn't that a form of brainwashing too? The Western world often mocks China's lack of freedom, but the fact is: when I want to learn about the world in China, I just press the VPN button on my phone. However, for Europeans to truly understand China, it’s not that simple. They need to overcome the thick wall of prejudice instilled by their media. This isn't something that can be resolved by just pressing a VPN button.Who is more pitiable?

The local businesses, cultural sites, and natural beauty of Dali are once again thriving, drawing visitors from all over. Anyway, enjoy your time in Dali, immerse yourselves in its rich culture, and have a wonderful experience there.
