Bai villages

Make time for bai villages with a route that suits your interests and pace. Combine the well-known sights with the local context that makes Dali distinctive.

Dali rests between the Cangshan mountains and the open waters of Erhai Lake. Find Bai architecture in old villages, explore local craft traditions and take gentle lakeside walks. This is a rewarding place to pause on a longer Yunnan journey, with time for markets, conversation and mountain air.

The right timing, a considered pace and local context help you get more from the visit. Specific arrangements, admissions and access requirements should be confirmed in your final itinerary.
