About About the place

Dali University is a prominent institution of higher learning situated at the base of Changsen Mountain in Yunnan Province, China. The campus is renowned for its picturesque setting, featuring small lakes, tea plantations, and stunning vistas of Lake Erhai and the Dali Old City. Visitors are welcome to explore the grounds, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, and sample local food from nearby markets. The university provides a glimpse into contemporary Chinese student life and offers a tranquil escape from the bustling tourist areas.

Best for

This attraction is ideal for travelers seeking scenic beauty, a peaceful atmosphere, and a glimpse into local Chinese student life. It's particularly well-suited for photographers, nature lovers, and those looking for a relaxing escape from the tourist crowds.

Best season

Spring (March-May), particularly during cherry blossom season, is considered the most beautiful time to visit. Autumn (September-November) also offers pleasant weather and vibrant foliage.

Tips by Locals

Accessibility

The campus features paved pathways, but some areas, particularly those leading up the hillside, may involve steps and inclines. Accessibility for individuals with mobility impairments may be limited in these areas. Information regarding specific accessibility features is not readily available.

Kid friendly

The spacious grounds are suitable for children to explore, but supervision is recommended, especially near the lakes and hillsides. Stroller access is generally good on paved paths. There are no dedicated children's play areas or changing facilities.

Food facilities/restaurants/cafes
