Lijiang or Dali? (Yunnan, China)
Posted December 12th, 2007 by Udi
This is a typical traveler’s dilemma….not enough time, but too many places to see. I have limited amount of time in Yunnan. Instead of spreading my time too thinly, I decide to choose one place and spend all my remaining three days there. Should I spend my time in Lijiang or Dali?
