Dali Ancient Town and Foreigner Street - Tourist Attraction, Yunnan Holidays
Dali Ancient Town and Foreigner Street - Tourist Attraction, Yunnan Holidays. An amazingly beautiful place with lots of shops and places for food as you marvel at the ancient architecture. Strongly recommended to visit while holidaying in Yunnan, China
On Foreigner Street, Dali, Yunnan Province
There are many ex-pats in Dali Old Town which is a magnet for young foreigners visiting China. This is my conversation with two young ex-pats, one on a visit and another who makes jewellery.

Foreigner Street is a touristy but fun section of Dali's Old Town that features a ton of shops, cafes, and bars. It's a friendly atmosphere in which you can meet people from all over China and all over the world. We did our share of shopping, eating, and drinking, but we wished we could have stayed longer. If you go there, check out the Yunnan Cafe, which has good food (both authentic local food and Western food), good beer, good people...and free Internet service.
Dali CangShan Mountain - 苍山, Yunnan, China - Part 1
The Cang Mountains (Cangshan)
The Cang Mountains (Cangshan)are a mountain range west of Dali City. Their snow-capped peaks, flowing clouds, murmuring brooks, diverse flora, and historical temples make them one of the most famous attractions in Dali.
It is a great place to enjoy a bird's eye view of Erhai Lake and Dali Ancient Town. Cable car and hiking are both great ways to enjoy the scenery of the mountains.
Chinese: 苍山Cāngshān / tsanng-shan / 'Dark Green Mountains'
Height: The highest summit is 4, 122 m (13, 524 ft).
Popular activities: taking a cable car, hiking
Must-see attractions: Xima Pond, Qingbi Stream, Zhonghe Temple
Suited to: nature lovers / hikers
Time needed: half a day
4 Highlights of the Cang Mountains
The Cang Mountains stretches for over 50 km north to south and has 19 peaks, with the tallest being Malong at 4, 122 meters (13, 524 feet). Picturesque creeks run between each of the summits, and serene waterfalls cascade their way down the rocks.
1. Xima Pond (‘Washing Horses Pond ’)
Ximatan (洗马潭)is an alpine lake with an altitude of 3, 920 meters (12, 861 feet). It is famous for its limpid water and enchanting scenery around it. From March to May, blooming azaleas and lush brushwood make the lake more gorgeous.
According to legend, Kublai Khan, the emperor who founded Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), once bathed his horses in the pond when he defeated the Dali Kingdom. So it was named Ximatan, ‘Washing Horses Pond ’.
2. Qingbi Stream (‘Clear Green Stream ’)
The Cang Mountains consists of 19 peaks. There is a brook between each of the peaks, 18 brooks in total. Qingbi Stream (清碧溪)is the most famous one. It is very relaxing to walk in the tranquil forest and listen to the gurgling stream.
3. Butterfly Spring
Butterfly Spring (蝴蝶泉)is at the foot of Yunnong Peak, about 40 km from Malong Peak. It is like a gem laying in the green shade of the mountains. If you visit between April and May when all kinds of flowers are in blossom, you will see thousands of bufferflies around the spring.
4. Buddhist Temples
Apart from natural scenery, you can also visit some historical temples in the mountains, like Gantong Temple, and Zhonghe Temple.
Taking a Cable Car
There are three cableways in the mountains: Ximatan Cableway, Zhonghe Cableway, and Gantong Cableway.
Ximatan Cableway
Ximatan Cableway is the longest one, with a length of 5, 555 meters (18, 225 feet), and takes you to an altitude of about 4, 000 meters (13, 123 feet).
Ximatan Cableway has a mid-way station where you can get off to take some pictures. The whole journey is about 40 minutes. If it is too windy, you will end your journey at the mid station.
As the most expensive cableway, it offers the best scenery . You will enjoy panoramic views of Dali Ancient Town and Erhai Lake, and see different mountain scenes: from pine forests and alpine lakes to patches of snow.
Other Cableways
The other cableways will get half way you up the mountains. If you have no shortage of time and energy, you can take one of these cableways and then climb to the top.
Cableway Costs:
Ximatan Cableway:300 yuan for a round trip, 150 for one way
Gantong Cableway:80 yuan for a round trip, 50 for one way
Zhonghe Cableway:100 yuan for a round trip, 50 for one way
Hiking
Hiking up the mountains is popular. The main route is not actually a difficult wild hike, since most of the time you'll be on concrete steps and paths.
Most hikers start from Dali Movie Studio and hike for about one hour to Jade Belt Road (or called Cloud Traveller's Path)— an 18-km (11-mile)paved trail that runs from the south to the north of the mountains.
Leave yourself an entire day to enjoy the beautiful views up on the mountains if you want to
do hiking all the way.
The Best Way — Cableways and Hiking
The best way to enjoy the scenery of the mountains is to combine cableways and hiking , saving time and energy for the best bits.
You can take one of cableways up to the Cloud Traveller's Path, hike along the path to enjoy the views on the mountains, and then take another cableway down to the foot of the mountains.
Travel Essentials
Location: about 5 km (3 mi)west of Dali Ancient Town

Clothing: It's freezing at the top of the mountains even in summer. So make sure you take sufficient layers of clothing.
Altitude sickness warning: If you go to the top of the mountains, you should bring an oxygen bottle to alleviate the effects of possible altitude sickness.

Dali Town | Yunnan, China
Dali Town (Chinese: 大理镇; pinyin: Dàlǐ Zhèn) is a township-level division in Dali City, Yunnan, China. The town contains the historic centre of the county-level city of Dali and is also commonly known as Dali Old Town (Chinese: 大理古城; pinyin: Dàlǐ Gǔchéng). The modern centre of Dali City, however, is 10 km south of the old town at Xiaguan.[2] Being the county seat of Dali City, Xiaguan is often labelled as Dali on maps and is sometimes referred to as Dali New Town (大理新镇) to distinguish it from Dali Town. The old town has become well-known as a tourist site in part thanks to its picturesque location and historic Bai architecture.

Dali Old City, Yunnan
After the binge drinking shenanigans of the Qingdao Beer Festival, we flew south to Yunnan province for the second leg of our trip. From the capital city of Kunming, we took a 4-hour bus ride to Dali. In this first video from our Yunnan trip, see a little bit of downtown Kunming, some delicious Yunnan style food in Dali, and the busy streets of a night market.

Dali was awash in water after a terrible drought earlier.
Lots of walking in the rain.
