Dali, County-level city in Yunnan Province, China
Located between Cangshan Mountains and Erhai Lake, Dali City consists of multiple districts including Xiaguan center and the northern Dali Old Town.
The city served as the capital of both Nanzhao Kingdom from 779 to 902 and the Kingdom of Dali from 937 to 1253.
The region maintains strong connections to Bai ethnic traditions through architecture, markets, and temples, with notable influences visible throughout the city districts.
Transportation options include local buses connecting different districts, boat services on Erhai Lake, and flights through Dali Fengyi Airport.
Dali's marble production has established the city's reputation across Asia, with the Chinese name 'Dali' directly translating to the word marble.
