After three days in Dali, my consumption concept collapsed
Dali, this picturesque city all year round, is a place for the soul to rest and a gentle haven for time, carrying the aspirations of countless people. I stayed up late to prepare a guide for everyone, be sure to code it!
✅Transportation
✈️External transportation: It is most convenient to fly directly to Dali Fengyi Airport. When there are no direct flights, it is also a good idea to fly to Kunming and transfer to the bullet train to enjoy the mountains and rivers of Yunnan.
🚄There are direct trains to some cities via high-speed rail.
🚕Internal transportation: There are many options at Dali Railway Station.
🔹There is a direct bus to the core of the ancient city. You can take bus No. 4 or No. 8 but it is a short walk away. A taxi costs about 40-50 yuan.
🔹From the airport, the airport bus to the ancient city is easy, and bus No. 26 to the Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas special line can enjoy the street view but it takes a long time. 🔹Erhai Lake bus is highly recommended, with unlimited travel to scenic spots for three days and round-trip privileges, it is very cost-effective!
