Explore Dali Ancient City and experience its unique layout: "A river winds around Cangshan Mountain, and Cangshan Mountain embraces the ancient city." Founded by the descendants of the Duan family of Dali, Dali Ancient City's three-tiered architecture embodies the highest level of Bai ethnic architecture. Huguo Road, running east-west within the ancient city, is known as "Foreigners' Street." The city's streets are crisscrossed and well-organized, forming a typical chessboard layout. The nine main streets and eighteen alleys largely retain the architectural characteristics of Bai residences from the Ming and Qing dynasties, featuring a three-courtyard, one-screen-wall, four-sided, and five-courtyard layout. These streets and alleys are not to be missed by tourists.
