Dali Ancient City , Yunnan🇨🇳 The Best Chinese City for Long-term Stays (4K UHD)
Welcome to this video with CC subtitles or automatic translation! Hello, I’m Duck, welcome to my channel! This video was shot in Dali, Yunnan Province(云南大理) in January 2024 I am currently located in Dali Ancient City Dali Ancient City is a city with a deep historical and cultural heritage.
The ancient city has a history of more than a thousand years The city is not only the center of Bai culture It is also one of the most important tourist destinations in Yunnan Province
The ancient city of Dali is close to Erhai Lake(洱海) and backed by Cangshan Mountain(苍山), which is blessed with unique natural scenery. Dali Old Town is also famous for its handicraft markets, cafes and bars. Whether you are a tourist interested in history and culture or a nature lover
All of them can find their own peace and beauty here. In front of me is the Wuhua Building(五华楼). The Wuhua Building was used by the king of Nanshao(南詔) to receive guests in ancient times. You can climb up the stairs and enjoy the view of Cangshan Mountain(蒼山) and the old town area.
Especially at night, when the lights come on, it is very beautiful. The Wuhua Building is now three stories high, with a doorway underneath that allows people to pass through. Taking pictures underneath is a must for many tourists. I walked to Foreigner Street(洋人街).
Foreigner Street is one of the more famous shopping districts in Dali Ancient City. There is an eye-catching pagoda on Yangren Street, which is very easy to recognize. The streets of Yangrenjie are relatively straight, with the Cangshan Mountains at the back and the Erhai Sea at the front.
There are many bars, restaurants and entertainment stores on both sides of the street. Neon lights illuminate the whole street at night, making it particularly busy I’m currently located at March Street(三月街). This is the oldest trading market in western Yunnan.
Dali Ancient City (大理古城) is a historical and cultural gem located in Yunnan Province (云南省), China. Nestled between the Cangshan Mountains (苍山) and Erhai Lake (洱海), this city is a perfect blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage, making it a must-visit destination for those exploring the region.
The history of Dali Ancient City dates back to the Kingdom of Nanzhao (南诏国) in the 8th century and later became the capital of the Dali Kingdom (大理国) in the 10th century. Throughout the centuries, it has been a melting pot of different cultures, including the Bai people (白族), one of the ethnic minorities in China, who have left a significant mark on the city’s architecture, customs, and cuisine.
Upon entering Dali Ancient City, visitors are greeted by the traditional Bai-style architecture, characterized by its three-part structure: a central room flanked by two wing rooms, a layout that reflects the Bai people’s emphasis on symmetry and balance. The buildings are adorned with intricate carvings, upturned eaves, and brightly colored paintings, adding to the city’s charm.
Another highlight is the Three Pagodas (三塔), located just northwest of the city. These towering structures are among the oldest and best-preserved Buddhist buildings in China, reflecting Dali’s role as a historical center of Buddhism in the region.
Dali Ancient City is also famous for its vibrant street life. Foreigner’s Street (洋人街), for example, is a bustling thoroughfare filled with cafes, bars, souvenir shops, and restaurants serving both local Bai delicacies and international cuisine. The city’s markets are a feast for the senses, offering a variety of local products such as tie-dyed textiles, handmade ceramics, and the region’s renowned tea.
Cultural festivals and events play a significant role in the life of Dali Ancient City. The most notable is the San Yue San (三月三), the March Street Festival, which takes place in the third lunar month. It is a time when the Bai people celebrate with traditional music, dance, and a grand market that attracts visitors and locals alike.

hello bro
you record use???
有計劃拍攝一些中國宗教系列風景嗎？比如河南的老君山，云崗石窟，大理寺，少林寺，峨眉山金頂，武當山，我覺得遍佈中國大陸的宗教系列風景絕對是一大寶庫呢😂
Chiny mają niezwykle bogatą historię. Aby odkryć wszystkie tajemnice tego pięknego kraju należałoby poświęcić ogromną część swojego życia. Ale byłoby ono niezwykle ciekawe 😊. Patrząc na te uliczki i sklepiki cofamy się w czasie i to bardzo. Może nawet do czasu Jedwabnego Szlaku. 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱. Renata
He visto en una paradeta que tenía un jamón
你用什么设备拍摄的，怎么那么清楚
what a nice place! looks like a movie set 😮
Reminds me of Cdrama Meet Yourself 😂😂😂 where is Xu Hongdou? 😂😂😂
一直会回去生活的的地方~美丽 在这里看到很欣慰

Hope to make to Dali when I travel to China later this year. My Chinese friends want to go to Yunnan Province. Nice video.
