Dali Ancient City Slow Living Guide - A Cultural and Artistic Sanctuary You Can't Explore Enough in One Day! It feels amazing from dawn till dusk~ Itinerary: Morning

Dali Ancient City Slow Living Guide🌿 A cultural and Artistic Sanctuary You Can't Explore Enough in One Day! It feels amazing from dawn till dusk~ 🚶‍♀️Itinerary: Entering the ancient city from the South Gate at 9 AM is the best choice! Fewer people and great for photos📸 Fuxing Road → Renmin Road → Foreigner Street (Yangren Street) is a must-visit main thoroughfare, lined with unique shops and cafes. The morning at Yuer Park is especially tranquil, locals come here for morning exercises. For lunch, I recommend trying [Zai Huishou Cold Chicken Rice Noodles] on Renmin Road, their secret sauce is absolutely amazing! In the afternoon, you can rent a bicycle🚲 to cycle around the ancient city, the waterscape around Honglongjing is super beautiful~ In the evening, be sure to go to Wuhua Tower to watch the sunset, the view of the entire ancient city's golden rooftops is incredibly stunning! The Renmin Road night market is super lively in the evening, you can eat your fill of various snacks like grilled rubing (cheese fan) and erkuai~ 🌟Insider Tips: 1️⃣ Some small alleys in the ancient city have more character than the main streets, such as Yincang Road and Yeyu Road, with fewer people and great for photos. 2️⃣ If you want to experience tie-dyeing, I recommend going to Zhoucheng, it's half the price of the experience shops in the ancient city. 3️⃣ Sunrise in Dali is late and sunset is late, so you can plan your sightseeing until 9 PM. 🍜Foodie Guide: Must-try👉Cold Chicken Rice Noodles, Pea Jelly, Grilled Erkuai Recommended Restaurants👉Zai Huishou Cold Chicken Rice Noodles (Renmin Road Branch), Yangji Rubing (Fuxing Road), A Wang Private Kitchen (suitable for proper meals) 🏠Accommodation Suggestions: If you prefer quiet, choose near Erhai Gate; if you're a nightlife person, choose Renmin Road. The [Dali Ancient City No. 1 Courtyard] where we stayed was amazing, the Naxi-style courtyard felt incredibly authentic!
