CHINA - Yunnan - Dali
Present Dali is a city that combines history with modern convenience. It is divided into two areas- the Ancient City and the New District (also called Xiaguan). The Ancient City is centered around the ancient city of Dali, first built in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Ancient buildings, city walls and the old city moat are the sites most frequented by visitors.
According to literature, this Ancient City was a gateway to the Silk Road in Southwest China, and also served as a seat of government and a major military barracks for Yunnan Province in ancient times.
