It only takes around 2.5 hours to arrive at Dali. Probably 3.5 hours include waiting time and going to train station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Driving to Dali probably takes 1.5 hours more. I decide to drive to Dali because of the flower viewing at Kunming, and I want to enjoy the view along the way. Afterall, it&#8217;s not that often for me to drive such a long time in Hong Kong. It took me around 6 hours to arrive (it can be much faster coz I kept stopping at rest area).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Day 1: <a href=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/en\/yunnan-tour-changsha-half-night-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Changsha South<\/a><br>Day 2: <a href=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/en\/trip-in-china-yunnan-tour-itinerary-kunming-9-days-adventure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kunming (Altitude : around 1850m)<\/a><br><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-secondary-color\">Day 3 &#8211; 4: Dali (Altitude : around 1890m)<\/mark><br>Day 5 &#8211; 7: Lijiang<br>Day 8 : back to Kunming<br>Day 9: Return<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are driving \/ going to Dali on a highway, this restaurant at Yao&#8217;an Service Area (\u59da\u5b89\u670d\u52a1\u533a) is the recommended place to have a lunch.

People normally don&#8217;t have high altitude sickness here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It took quite some time for us to decide for accommodation as 90% of the places are ranked 4.5\/5 and above with pricing similar to one another. We finally choose one that turns out to be value worth stay.

And so are we.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It took us 1 hour 42 mins to arrive at the ancient town because of the speed limit as well as traffic jam. Fortunately we manage to get a car park slot right near the ancient town. You can try the car park at the South gate, and if it&#8217;s full then go just a little further along the way. There are a few more car parks available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"537\" height=\"716\" data-id=\"3669\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1Dali-South-Gate.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1Dali-South-Gate.jpg 537w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1Dali-South-Gate-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 537px) 100vw, 537px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"537\" height=\"716\" data-id=\"3666\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1Dali-South-Gate-Top.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1Dali-South-Gate-Top.jpg 537w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1Dali-South-Gate-Top-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 537px) 100vw, 537px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"537\" height=\"716\" data-id=\"3668\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1Dali-nice-drink.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1Dali-nice-drink.jpg 537w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1Dali-nice-drink-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 537px) 100vw, 537px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"592\" data-id=\"3667\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1Dali-Ancient-Town.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1Dali-Ancient-Town.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1Dali-Ancient-Town-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1Dali-Ancient-Town-768x444.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lunch @ <a href=\"https:\/\/surl.amap.com\/1YfMSnASgqQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dali Royal Place<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mushroom is one of the recommended dish in Yunnan in rainy season. Because it is also mushroom season.

Still much better than Kunming Old Street. The sour spicy fish is made with passion fruit as a sour base. It&#8217;s still spicy even though I have requested less spicy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"716\" height=\"537\" data-id=\"3651\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u5927\u7406\u738b\u5e9c-menu-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u5927\u7406\u738b\u5e9c-menu-1.jpg 716w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u5927\u7406\u738b\u5e9c-menu-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"716\" height=\"537\" data-id=\"3653\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u5927\u7406\u738b\u5e9c-menu-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u5927\u7406\u738b\u5e9c-menu-2.jpg 716w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u5927\u7406\u738b\u5e9c-menu-2-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"716\" height=\"537\" data-id=\"3649\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u5927\u7406\u738b\u5e9c-lunch-3-.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u5927\u7406\u738b\u5e9c-lunch-3-.jpg 716w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u5927\u7406\u738b\u5e9c-lunch-3--300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"716\" height=\"537\" data-id=\"3650\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u5927\u7406\u738b\u5e9c-lunch-2-.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u5927\u7406\u738b\u5e9c-lunch-2-.jpg 716w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u5927\u7406\u738b\u5e9c-lunch-2--300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"716\" height=\"537\" data-id=\"3652\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u5927\u7406\u738b\u5e9c-lunch-.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u5927\u7406\u738b\u5e9c-lunch-.jpg 716w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u5927\u7406\u738b\u5e9c-lunch--300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"537\" height=\"716\" data-id=\"3654\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u5927\u7406\u738b\u5e9c.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u5927\u7406\u738b\u5e9c.jpg 537w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u5927\u7406\u738b\u5e9c-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 537px) 100vw, 537px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"537\" height=\"716\" data-id=\"3648\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Mushroom.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Mushroom.jpg 537w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Mushroom-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 537px) 100vw, 537px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some visitors like to try poisonous mushrooms (an example of it shown in last image, red color mushroom). There are a few poisonous mushrooms available for eating. However, there are cases which tourists got poisoned after consuming not fully cooked mushrooms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Restaurants normally put a timer on the table to tell customers that mushroom can only be eaten after at least 20 &#8211; 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Catholic church<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is probably the main reason why I decided to go Dali Ancient Town.

Just take a look of the images to find out why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"537\" height=\"716\" data-id=\"3672\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f34.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f34.jpg 537w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f34-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 537px) 100vw, 537px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"537\" height=\"716\" data-id=\"3675\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f33.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f33.jpg 537w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f33-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 537px) 100vw, 537px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"537\" height=\"716\" data-id=\"3677\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f3-Mini-Cooper-front.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f3-Mini-Cooper-front.jpg 537w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f3-Mini-Cooper-front-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 537px) 100vw, 537px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"537\" height=\"716\" data-id=\"3673\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f3-Mini-Cooper.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3673\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f3-Mini-Cooper.jpg 537w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f3-Mini-Cooper-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 537px) 100vw, 537px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"716\" height=\"537\" data-id=\"3674\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f32.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f32.jpg 716w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f32-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"716\" height=\"537\" data-id=\"3678\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f31.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f31.jpg 716w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f31-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"716\" height=\"537\" data-id=\"3671\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f35.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f35.jpg 716w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f35-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"611\" data-id=\"3676\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f3-full.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f3-full.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f3-full-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u96f2\u60f3-full-768x458.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There is an area further down the road where the trees located. Those areas require visitors to purchase at least one drink per head in order to get inside for image taking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We didn&#8217;t stay long here because it&#8217;s quite late by the time we arrive. It took us 1 hr 25 mins back to our accommodation. One hour longer than expected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sunset time here in Dali is around 8 something in the evening before it goes dark in this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Erhai lake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I enjoy driving along the Erhai lake even though we got slowed down along the way. Lots of people are walking on the road, causing the two way road to become a one way road. Check out the video in my IG profile \/ facebook page to have a look on the ride along the Erhai lake. It won&#8217;t disappoint you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"716\" height=\"537\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Erhai.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Erhai.jpg 716w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Erhai-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also rent a vehicle to drive around Erhai lake. There are a number of car rental companies nearby. I saw a number of people rent convertible to drive around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I recommend staying at the guesthouse to chill for one whole day or just go to Yunxiang Dali Mountain. The feel of visiting Dali Ancient Town is similar to Fung Huang. If it&#8217;s not peak season, it&#8217;s still good to visit if you got more time staying in Dali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are other places for image taking but actually it&#8217;s all the same view with the Erhai lake as the background. A few particular places don&#8217;t worth to spend time while some others are full of people and vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-medium-font-size\">AXA Travel, Home, Accidential Insurance offer promotion periodically as well as Zurich general insurance.<br>To purchase automotive tire, batteries and automobile, travel and personal insurance in HK, <a href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/85251130668\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">whatsapp Jimmy +852 5113 0668<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tyrehood.hk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Follow us on Tyrehood facebook page to get the latest automotive and insurance information. \ud83d\udc40 More travel guide is also available for your reference.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other related articles:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/en\/yunnan-tour-changsha-half-night-tour\/\">Yunnan Tour Itinerary Tour Guide &#8211; Changsha Tour<\/a><br>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/en\/trip-in-china-yunnan-tour-itinerary-kunming-9-days-adventure\/\">Yunnan Tour Itinerary Tour Guide &#8211; Kunming Tour<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other articles:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/en\/category\/tire\/\">-> Tyre related information<\/a> <br><a href=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/en\/category\/battery\/\">-> Automotive Battery related information<\/a> <br><a href=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/en\/category\/vehicle-maintenance\/\">-> Vehicle maintenance and DIY<\/a> <br><a href=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/en\/category\/trip\/\">-> Global Travel Guide<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best way from Kunming to Dali got to be high speed train.
