The following is the introduction of Dali tourist attractions that I have compiled for you, hoping to help you!
1. Ancient City of Dali
The ancient city of Dali is adjacent to the rippling Erhai Lake in the east and the verdant Cangshan Mountain in the west, forming an urban pattern of "one water surrounds Cangshan Mountain and Cangshan embraces the ancient city". It has been 12 years since Yimouxun, the king of Nanzhao, moved the capital to Yangju City in 779. The existing ancient city of Dali was restored on the basis of Yangmao City in the early Ming Dynasty. The city is square, with four doors, a tower on the top and the Acropolis on the bottom. There are three streams in the north and south as natural barriers, and the outer layer of the city wall is brick. There are five streets across the city from south to north, and eight streets and lanes across the city from west to east. The whole city is in a checkerboard layout. The ancient city of Dali is called Ye Yu for short, and it is also called Zicheng. Its history can be traced back to the Yangmao City built by Luofeng in Wangge of Nanzhao (near the three towers in the west of this city) as its new capital. The ancient city was built in the 15th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty, 12 miles in Fiona Fang. The wall is 2 feet high and 2 feet thick. There is a gate in the east, west, north and south, all with towers, and there are turrets in the four corners. At the beginning of liberation, the city walls were all demolished. In 1982, Nanchengmen was rebuilt, and the word "Dali" at the door was a collection of Guo Moruo's calligraphy. Entering the city from the south gate, Fuxing Road, which leads directly to the north gate, has become a bustling market. Shops along the street are set shoulder to shoulder, selling ethnic handicrafts such as marble and tie-dyeing, as well as jewelry and jade. Some old houses in the streets can still be found in the past, with flowers and trees in the courtyard, birds singing and flowing water in outdoor streams and canals. The scene of "three wells at a time, one family with several potted flowers" remains.
2. Three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple
The three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple in Dali, 14 kilometers away from Shimonoseki, are located at the foot of Yingle Peak in Cangshan Mountain, 1.5 kilometers north of Dali. They are backed by Cangshan Mountain and face Erhai Lake. The three pagodas are composed of three pagodas, one big, two small, and stand upright. From a distance, they are magnificent and one of the scenic spots of Canger. The pedestal of the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple is square, surrounded by stone fences, and the four corners of the fence are carved with stone lions. In the middle of the east, there is a stone wall,-the four characters of "Yongzhen Mountains and Rivers" are quite bold. The main tower of the Three Pagodas is called Chihiro Pagoda, which is a 16-story square tower with dense eaves, with a bottom width of 9.9 meters and a height of 69.13 meters. The top of the tower is covered with a copper bowl and a tower brake, which is a typical building in the Tang Dynasty, just like the Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi 'an. According to legend, the three pagodas were built in the Baohe period of Nanzhao. In recent years, more than 6 important cultural relics of Nanzhao and Dali were found at the top of the tower. The south and north towers are located behind the main tower, with a distance of 97.5 meters and a distance of 7 meters from the main tower, forming a three-legged trend. Both towers are octagonal eaves-type hollow bricks, ***1 levels, each with a height of 43 meters. The three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple are the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units.

As soon as you board the island, you will see a group of huge stone carvings called Shayimu Group Sculptures. This is carved according to a myth about Dali recorded in Biography of Southwest Yi in the Later Han Dynasty. According to legend, Nanzhao's ancestor was a woman named Shayi. She made a living by fishing. In the process of fishing, she got pregnant by touching a heavy stone, so she gave birth to ten sons. Later, a couple gave birth to ten daughters at the foot of Ailao Mountain, and the Jiulong brothers married these women. After that, they grew up and multiplied to this day. This legend has been brought to life by sculptors, and it is lifelike and lifelike. If the scenery of Canger is likened to a crown, then Nanzhao Fengqing Island is a pearl embedded in this crown.

The two islands are located under Liling Peak between the two corridors. During the Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty, people thought that "two islands" and "two songs" were both "double", so the "tied corridor" was changed to "double corridor".

The four main streets of the ancient city extend from Wenbilou to the east, west, north and south. Due to various reasons, the three Gu Lou in the east, west and south of the ancient city have been destroyed, but now only the north gate Gu Lou and the Wenbi Building in the city have survived. The ancient city pool is shaped like a chessboard, with 24 streets and 18 lanes dotted and crisscrossed, which is a typical "chessboard" city layout in Ming and Qing Dynasties. When you enter the ancient city, you are greeted by blue tiles and white walls, woodcarving gates, gold-plated signboards with black backgrounds, and stone roads polished by years. The houses on the street are all shops on the ground floor, and the facades facing the street are all wooden. When the door panels are removed, the whole house is open to the street center. The store door is also a home, there are no eye-catching fashion signs, and there are no souvenirs that are the same all over the world. Those harness shops, tablet shops, antique shops, barber shops and snack bars can make you visit enough. The owner of the small shop, sitting leisurely on the grass pier, doesn't care whether the shops around him have business or not, and yawns happily. Groups of old people sat leisurely on the grass pier on the street, drinking tea, playing chess and bragging around the small square table and watching the excitement in the street. On the ancient street, people carrying schoolbags, carrying vegetables, carrying birdcages, holding donkeys and swinging empty hands shuttled through the doorway of Gu Lou and walked back and forth on the ancient street. Year after year, the lively scene seems to freeze in this ancient street.
