People love the city of Dali, in southwest China’s Yunnan province, for the fresh air, the slow pace of life, the hospitable locals and of course delicious Yunnan food…

However, as popular as it is, downtown Dali can seem over-commercialized. So, if you want to see another side to the city, spend a whole morning soaking up the town fair in the northern part of the city and discover a new reason to fall in love with Dali.
