Located in the Yunnan Province of China is the picturesque Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture. Its capital, Dali City is an awesome mix of ethnic groups with colorful and interesting customs and traditions. Dali City is home to the Han Chinese and ethnic minority groups like the Bai, Hui, Lisu, and Yi. The prefecture is named so because nearly 65% of the prefecture’s population consists of the Bai people. The city of Dali is a center for several festivals celebrated by the different ethnic groups. One gets the feeling that the people are celebrating something throughout the year! Besides its diverse and colorful culture, another reason why Dali is a popular tourist destination in China is that the city is surrounded by wonderful natural scenery. The region is dominated by the spectacular Erhai Lake and the Cangshan Mountains. Caught between these two magnificent landscapes, Dali City is blessed with irresistibly beautiful scenic area.
