Dali City (Chinese: 大理市) is a county-level city in and the seat of the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, in northwestern Yunnan province, People's Republic of China. Dali is 40 minutes north-west of the provincial capital, Kunming, by air, and 7 hours by train although the journey is expected to be quite comfortable. The Dali government's urban planning keeps its old and new districts separate, to encourage tourism. The "new city" is known as Xiaguan (Chinese:下关). The old city was built during Ming Dynasty emperor Hongwu's reign (1368–1398). Owing to the building laws, the old city is still marked with the traditional Chinese house style.Dali is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Yunnan, known for its natural scenery and historical and cultural heritage.Dali is located on a fertile plateau between the Cangshan Range to the west and Erhai lake to the east.
