Of all of the places that we've been in China so far, Dali - in Yunnan Province - is the #1 place that I would recommend to anybody planning a trip to East Asia.
Dali is my brother Colin's home-away-from-home. It was the first place in China where he put down roots as well as the location choosen for his first Salvador's restaurant.
It is a beautiful mountain city with a physical environment and architecture that reminds me of the mythical Shangri-La. It has a number of ancient Buddhist pagodas that date back to when it was an independent kingdom. It also has a vibrant local culture which presents a mix of the 22 ethnic groups that share it as a home.
Colin has recently rennovated a century-old home inside the walls of the old city.
For a good adventure in Dali, one only needs to put on their walking shoes.
