Diving Into Dali’s Picturesque Old Towns: A Journey Through Time | Yunnan, China
Dali is a thousand-year-old city.
Surrounding this thousand-year-old city, there are countless ancient towns with beautiful scenery and long history.
Each of these ancient towns has its own characteristics and is a long-standing tourist attraction in China. This video will take you to visit some of the most beautiful ancient towns around Dali. I hope you like it.

Shaxi Ancient Town
——————-⭐⭐
Shaxi Ancient Town is situated in the southwest of Jianchuan County in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province.
It was an important trading hub on the Yunnan-Tibet Tea Horse Road. People of the town sold a wide variety of homemade items for the passing caravans and opened their houses and offered food to them.
Shaxi Ancient Town was included in the World Monuments Fund’s protection list of 101 endangered sites as early as 2001. Pompeii in Italy and the Great Wall of China are also on the list.
Shaxi is an ancient town integrating and preserving medieval business and Buddhist culture, where the ancient stage, ancient temples, ancient shops, ancient alleyways, ancient houses, ancient village gates, ancient trees, ancient wells, ancient bridges, and traditional fairs all remain intact.

Xizhou Old Town
——————-⭐⭐
Xizhou Village is an ancient town in Dali, Yunnan faces Erhai Lake on the east and rests on Cangshan Mountain in the west, featured with numerous Bai classical residences, famous local dishes – Xizhou Baba, and Bai ethnic customs and activities like Three-course Tea and Tie-dye. It’s a thousand-year historical Bai ethic ancient town that can’t be missed by tourists.
Xizhou Town is a county in the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture located in western Yunnan Province, China. Located at only 18 kilometers north of Dali, Xizhou faces Erhai on the east and rests on Cangshan in the west.
Xizhou has been historically important as a trading post along the Tea Horse Road, it was once home to a landing strip and radio station for the Flying Tigers during WWII, has been home to notable rulers and governors of local polities past and present, and has gained notoriety in modernity for its high concentration of preserved and restored traditional Bai architecture and protected heritage sites.
——————-⭐⭐
Shuanglang Old Town
——————-⭐⭐
Shuanglang Ancient Village is located on the eastern shore of Erhai Lake, 36 kilometers to the north of Dali City, about 2 hours’ drive from Dali Airport.
It is backed with green mountains and faces Erhai Lake.
For over a thousand years, the local Bai Minority people here made their living fishing in the lake. However, the past 10 years have brought a change to their lives. The small tranquil village is now popular with visitors looking to unwind and enjoy a slower tempo.
Shuanglang, a fishing village with a history of over one thousand years, is located in north Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan. Facing the Erhai Lake and connecting with the Jizu Mountain, Shuanglang always offer people with its most charming sceneries. Wondering through the cobblestone-paved streets filled with old dwellings of Bai people, tourists can not only be treated with pristine sceneries but also a sense of peace.

❤ Happy New Year’s 🎉
Why does the video is too dark, doesn't look real
aquarium video 😭😭😭😭
I've been here. I love it! Will be bringing my parents there again someday.
I have been here many years ago, early 2000s. I remembered the fisherman trained his birds to catch fishes from the lake/river. I think I remembered correctly, also we went down the alleyway to a house where the owner dye table cloth.
Dali such a beautiful place.
I didn't finish watching this video don't tell me you walk for 3.14hrs filming some parts by car right? good job.
🙏🙏🙏🤝🤝🇮🇳🇮🇳🤝🤝🇨🇳🇨🇳🤝🤝🇰🇷🇰🇨🇳🤝🤝🇰🇷🇰🇷一樣大家合話，我來自印度，我很喜歡中國，但我說過話 因為我只從外交關係的角度來看待它，我更喜歡韓國人，但我喜歡韓國和印度，黑人有很多變化，因為他們更注重自己的美麗，但當我看到這輛車時我很驚訝。 飯店裡張貼海報趕走印度人和印度教徒，他們並不是說韓國不是一個好國家，它是好的，它是壞的，並不是人們對印度人進行種族主義，壞的是政府沒有採取任何行動，韓國人的外交關係很好，但當地人受過教育，但有些人不尊重我們，但我們不會說每個人都是韓國人，但我們應該尊重其他人，因為如果任何外國人來到印度，那麼他是我們的客人，我們是他的客人。 我們談論的是一個地球、一個家庭、一個未來，但為什麼印度人會出現這樣的情況，這說明了印度的貧困地區，印度有14億人口，是一個發展中國家。 任何人都不應該透過觀看這段影片看到孟買、海德拉巴、古吉拉特邦、班加羅爾、古爾岡、諾伊達這些智慧城市，尤其是西方媒體和人們對印度的看法是錯誤的。 謝謝你們，但我還沒有看到中國人民這樣做，請🙏🙏🙏尊重大家，因為印度是第一個迄今為止從未從自己一方攻擊過任何國家的國家。 請🙏🙏相信大家都懂我的話和愛國情形🇨🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🤝🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳
🙏🙏Please read this ,🙏🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🤝🤝🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🤝🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷I like China very much because Chinese people are kind and respect others like Indians. I have observed that earlier I did not like China because I observed on the basis of diplomatic relation alone but when I observed the people of China that how they are then I started liking Korea a lot because I had diplomatic relations with them. It's not like that even now I like it because I can't say that everyone is wrong because of some people but in Korea, there is a lot of wrong feeling among black people because i think they pay more attention to their beauty but when I look here I was shocked. Posters have been posted in Korean restaurants to drive away Indians and Hindus, I am very upset. I felt bad because we consider any foreigner as God and respect him a lot. I am not saying that Korea is not a good country. It is very good country, but it does not seem that bad that those people are behaving badly with Indians and black people, it seems bad that the government and those people who are in our place are behaving badly with you and they are yours. Government action is not taken to help, Korean people have good royal relations and they are also educated locally, literacy rate is 98 percent but some people are not doing our honor but we will not say that all Korean people are like this but we We should respect each other because if a foreigner comes to India, he is our guest and we treat him as a god and we talk to him (Vasudhev Kutumbkam's meaning). We are talking about one planet, one family and one future, no human being is evil, his thoughts are evil everywhere, education is not important but there should be manners along with it, but we are not talking about any country, This happens everywhere else, especially Europe, but why is this happening in India? all foreigners shows the poor caste of India. India's population is 1.4 billion and it is a developing country. After watching these videos, no one should think that in smart cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad, Gujarat, Bangalore, Gurgaon, Noida, especially western media and people have a wrong opinion about India. Thank you but I have never seen Chinese people doing such a thing, please respect everyone because India is the first country which till date has not attacked any country with its own kind.india is country where all reliogion all types of people are living ,india is more diverse ,you know in india we hindus not pray only some gods but we also pray all things which are present in nature because by nature we live ,we call and pray earth as a mother because by this we live because earth give us grains by this trees are grown all people weight are handled by earth ,by this we pray earth as a mother ,and also we pray trees because they give us oxygen ,and we pray and call cow as a mother because he gives us milk by this we pray .all these livings are our nurturer. Please understands my words and feelings and patriotic feelings i think all are understand
love your videos they have totally changed my perspective on china, but can you also make videos of western China like Lhasa or Ürümqi
never get tired watching your videos❤
Dali es fascinante con escenas antiguas, tradicionales y modernas … y esas macetas de troncos son novedosas … escaleras, callejones, apartamentos: todo bien pensado para turistear … pero, hermano Max, cuidado y te atrapa Dali; es tan bella … I love China
Max 你是什么相机呀，我也想买来拍摄这样的行走视频来记录一下自己的家乡，很喜欢这种视频风格，非常棒🎉🎉

每次看到有人发大理的影片，就会想到，自己曾经 说走就走，一个人开着车，从上海 一天一夜直接干到了大理。到大理洱海的时候是白天9点钟。人一下子就清醒了。也不睡觉了。
