Where to Go in Dali
As the second largest lake in China, Erhai Lake is more like an ear shaped sea instead of a lake. Near the lake, Golden Shuttle Island where Bai people live with their unique culture and lifestyle and Erhai Lake Park which is full of flowers in spring, are also nice scenic spots to go. Visitors can take Erhai Lake Cruise at Daligang Wharf, Longkan Wharf or Taoyuan Wharf to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake.
Cangshan Mountain
The mountain stands west of Erhai Lake, consisting of 19 peaks and 18 streams. The snow accumulated on the top of the mountain is one of the four sceneries in Dali that you shouldn’t miss. Most importantly, you can also visit attractions like Gangtong Temple, Zhonghe Temple, Qilongnv Pool and Butterfly Spring in Cangshan Mountain Scenic Area.
Three Pagodas
Three Pagodas, built 1,800 years ago is the exact place where you want to explore the history of the city. It consists of Qianxun Pagoda which is in the middle, and two lower ones standing in the north and south. There, you can find many sculptures of Buddha, Buddhist readings and etc.
Except all the three attractions mentioned above, Dali Ancient Town, Donglianhua Village, Yan’s Compound of Bai Minority are also places worth going.

00ReplySoft seat has larger space, only 2 passengers will sit together on one side. Hard sleeper will have 3 passengers together on one side and 2 on the other side. Soft seat is more recommended since the ticket price is only a small difference.

On some trains, lower bed in soft sleeper cabin will be sold as soft seat. Each 3 or 4 passengers will be sit together on one lower bed. This kind of "seat" is in fact transformed from soft sleeper beds. Hope this information can help you.
