Chongsheng Three Pagodas

Reviewed By Travdon - Philadelphia, United States

The grounds of this complex are sprawling, and you could easily spend half a day exploring. The three pagodas are great to see, as they've been standing for over 1000 years. But after you pass those, there are myriad temple buildings to explore. There are some buildings stuffed with numerous gold-coated statues of various individuals - not really sure what it was or who they were, but they were interesting to see. The path continuously hikes upwards, and you have to navigate several sets of steps, but it's worth it. Some buildings you can walk up to the top and have great views of the lake and city. The entrance fee to the complex is 75 RMB/person, plus an additional 35 RMB if you want a shuttle to take you from the three pagodas to the main temple (not worth it, as the leisurely stroll is part of the fun).

Yunnan Shaxi Ancient Town

Reviewed By mattodowd - Beijing, China

We were here for Chinese New Year eve and the atmosphere was lovely, with lots of people on the streets setting off firecrackers, children playing and fireworks. I've been to many ancient towns in China, and this was one of my favourites. There are some really quaint bars, restaurants and souvenir shops, and lovely mountain views. Would recommend staying a night here, as the atmosphere in the evening is excellent. There are plenty of hotels/hostels inside the town. Entry is free. The village is located in between Lijiang and Dali. You may wish to combine with a trip to Shibaoshan (石宝山), just 14km away. Name in Chinese: 沙溪古镇

Xizhou Town

Reviewed By greggyalkey - Suzhou, China

I enjoyed wandering Xizhou Town. I have been to many ancient cities in China and this particular city has a beautiful backdrop that being the lake surrounded by rice fields. There is plenty to do and enjoy here. I suggest taking a morning and or afternoon to explore and enjoy.

Dali Foreigner Street

This street is where the famous cafes and guesthouses cluster along with souvenir shops and other interesting stores to create a little tourist paradise.

Reviewed By greggyalkey - Suzhou, China

Dali Foreigner Street is located in Dali Ancient City. There isn't anything really special about this street as most of what you see here you will see throughout the Ancient City. Dali Ancient City is wonderful. Like the Foreigner Street, there are lots of shops, restaurants and bars to enjoy. I suggest staying in Dali Ancient City in one of the many Inns. I had a delightful stay and enjoyed the warm and welcoming locals.
