Features: "A city of wind, flowers, snow, and moon, with mountains and waters as its scenery." This is the most concentrated summary of Dali's natural landscape. Dali has been a world-renowned tourist destination since ancient times. In the late 13th century, Marco Polo, an Italian from Venice, visited Dali during his mysterious journey across Eurasia. Xu Xiake, a famous Ming Dynasty traveler in China, traveled across most of the famous mountains and rivers in China, but he lingered in Dali for as long as half a year. Dali indeed possesses an irresistible charm. Natural creation and human history have skillfully blended many wonderful things here, presenting various beautiful, rich, and magical landscapes.
