Dali

Before my last trip to China, I was doing research on places I might visit on my month travelling. Dali was described as “a backpacker’s paradise.” Granted, I think this probably means that now it’s overrun with foreigners, and things are more expensive than they used to be, but backpackers (as opposed to regular tourists) usually know a good thing when they find it, I’ve found.

I never made it to Dali. I’ve got a friend in China who wants to go there, too, so maybe sometime we’ll go together. I’ve only travelled in eastern China, so it would be great to see Yunnan province and see how it differs from all the places I’ve been in terms of local culture and development.
