China The Walled Town of Dali - The ancient walled town of Daliis dramatically situated on alluvial plains between the Cangshan Mountains and the long, deep Er Hai Lake. For centuries, visitors to this remote corner of China have praised its mountain-irrigated rice fields, lake-fed fish, and local marble quarried from the foot of the mountains. We'll tour the old town and visit fishing and artist communities on the lakeshore. The outskirts of Dali provide opportunities for pleasant walks through azaleas, magnolias, and pines. Birds may include laughing thrushs, babblers, wheatears, and the beautiful spotted forktail. Evening to enjoy the town and maybe take in a concert or play.
