Dali City is the economic and cultural center of the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture. The ancient city of Dali was first built during the early Ming dynasty; today two city gate towers are still there. The dwellings of the Bai people in the town are in perfect condition, straight streets running from gate to gate with shops on both sides. The three Pagodas of the Chongshen Monaster, standing stately at the foot of Cangshan Mountain and by Erhai Lake for more than 1,100 years, have become the emblem of Dali. The pagodas, the mountain and the lake are major tourist attractions of Dali. Dali's another attraction is the Butterfly Spring, where the congregation of thousands of butterflies in the fourth lunar month every year is indeed a feast to the eyes Further more 25 ethnic minorities can be find here, which have created a unique cultural heritage amidst the area's picturesque surroundings.
