The Most Beautiful City in China | Dali, Yunnan

At the heart of Yunnan Province, Dali is the most stunning city I've been to in China! Whereas many natural sceneries in China are out in the middle of nowhere, the beauties of Dali are steps within civilization. The unique cuisine, hospitable locals, and jaw-dropping landscape makes Dali one of my favorite places to visit.

Dali and the Erhai lake are really splendid places. Together with Lijiang and the Timing river in Guangxi province, my favorite places in China

[@JHMedium]

I haven’t been to Lijiang yet, that will be the next place I visit when I go back to Yunnan again! I love Guangxi too

[@JJoy77]

I just got back from an eleven days trip to Yunnan.

[@dugalug1795]

Greetings from Australia. Really enjoyed seeing this beautiful, scenic city of Dali. OMG, the food, including those gateaux! My mouth was watering! Visiting China is definitely something I hope to do one day. With the Covid pandemic currently restricting opportunities for international travel, I really appreciate seeing videos like this on KZbin. Thanks Jeffrey & Yuhe for sharing your travel adventure to Dali with us. The photography was wonderful.

[@JHMedium]

Glad you enjoyed it! I have never been to Australia either. I've always wanted to visit Sydney, hopefully I will get the chance to in the next few years.

[@tusfatus3292]

what a beautiful city, i found this video likes where a chinese drama "meet your self 2023" by huace TV was shot

[@isharaishara4463]

It’s beautiful place in china

[@yeska62]

Kunming, Dali, and Yunnan, my favorite places in China. I have lots of friends there. Thank you for the wonderful video. 给你吉祥。

[@Living-Here]

Loved this video! Thank you for sharing 😍

[@lionelwong5842]

Wow! This place is so beautiful ! And romantic too.

[@chicheng1941]

Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. You captured some truly wonderful scenic shots. Music selection is solid too. I definitely also appreciate the dual English and Chinese subtitles.

[@CraigWinstanley1]

Lovely video. Hope to visit there in 2022. Thanks for sharing your journey!!!!

[@longyou8254]

Nice place, full of local culture style

[@smithliang8447]

[@TravelBompipi]

[@jessicacao7851]

[@marleenneil7542]

Hello from Portland, OR USA - beautiful videos. Thank you for posting.🙏

[@vladimirru13]

What an exceptional video. Well done!

[@graziaseregni1486]

Very interesting work ! Many thanks Grazia

[@bendangaier5654]

Really an amazing city , a mix of everything, some where it appears like old traditional Chinese city, some times it appears like a fast hub metropolis, some times it seems like in some European county, Dali city and it's surroundings are so neat and clean, I love Dali, , fr---Ben, nagaland, N---E. India,

[@matiullah757]

Your editing 太棒了

[@tetianaprykhodko9369]

Great video🎉

[@hcjet]

beautiful!

[@GeorgeMartinus]

Man... your cinematography and editing are so cool! I also like the way you choose the soundtracks. They fit perfectly and make me feel the emotional journey through your lens. Btw, I got 2 questions: - Why you transited in Kunming? There's no direct high speed train Shenzhen-Dali? I need more info about this. I plan to visit Dali from Guangzhou. - I thought both of you are Chinese, but how come China could consider you as foreigner? What's your nationality?

[@rikoajeng]

Really beautiful city 😍

[@MrDavidc]

Interesting place and no high rises. The cakes looked tempting.

[@JHMedium]

weirdly Dali had some of the best cakes I tasted in China haha

[@serenabee1475]

I would love to see you do clips for China’s destinations i.e. Chongqing, Wulong, Luoyang, Kaifeng

[@muhammadiftikhar1316]

Nice n beautiful places .

[@itsstans75]

Beautifully shot but I feel you could could provide more introduction and narration to the places you been and the activities your showing us.

[@JHMedium]

Thanks for the input! It’s my first time making a travel vlog like this, so I’ll definitely take that into consideration next time

[@sidoniafaibis3962]

Lovely!!!👏👏👏🇷🇴❤❤❤

[@lte23401]

❤️🌹Dali, Yunnan❤️🌹

[@ansonfeng831]

拍得真好啊👍

[@serenabee1475]

Thank you for your clip.

[@eymeeraosaka2954]

Nice video! Unfortunately I have not been to Dali. How I wish I had when I was in Kunming and Lijang many years ago...I went to play golf there and it was such a memorable trip. It was so windy up on the hillside golf course the ball literally moved by the wind after it landed on the green...Beautiful scenery and air...

[@minsoo3298]

Planning to visit China soon, and Dali is definitely on my visit list. I want to witness the beautiful lake! Wish me luck 🙏

[@hyasnglahi8105]

Been there more than a decade ago.. it's so awesome.. looking forward to go back there..

[@angy9730]

苍山洱海 风花雪月，光凭这8字，就让人对大理有无限的遐想了。

洱海治理的越来越好了，可以去看看玉龙雪山

[@JHMedium]

下次一定会去！看起来也超美的

[@user-ml5wg1cf9s]

Due to Shanghai lockdown, I was lucky enough to be brought here in Dali accidentally. I fell in love completely and actually decided to move here with my boyfriend. We are more than happy to call this place our home. We fall in love with this place more every day and can not get enough of the Dali magic - the nature, the mountains, the lake, the people and the food. If possible, we will be more than happy and honored to host you and your girlfriend and show you different parts of Dali that is less known by people. Please let me know when you guys will be in town again. Hope we can meet!

[@beatpirate8]

i love mushrooms and never heard of these

[@freedloh9049]

Beautiful video and editing and commentary. Where were you born and living now?

[@JT-de9wx]

I was watching yr video in Penang as I am going to Penang tomorrow. Today I am watching your video to Yunnan as I am going to Yunnan in two weeks time for a 11 day trip. Which month did you go to Yunnan? What is the temperature there like in May? I enjoyed watching yr Vlog videos.

[@JHMedium]

Haha what a coincidence. I was in Dali during October. May weather should be very nice as well.

[@JHMedium]

Got some planned for early next year!! Stay tuned

[@ridwanbasuki9072]

Nice video…how is the transportation in Dali..? Is it convenient to move from 1 spot to another?

[@JHMedium]

We usually just took a taxi or didi, it’s not too expensive there. Or rented a bike to ride around Erhai.

[@edwardsharpe6234]

I was curious if you thought Dali was the second best city, what city would you rate as the best?

[@bounlathhansackda7079]

next trip its dali and bali for me

My favorite city in China is Shanghai!

[@davidtriyadi]

Hello, may I Know the location in 2:53 ? thank you in advance.

[@JHMedium]

It’s at a road east of Xizhou 喜洲 Ancient Town. If you look at a satellite map, you will see many fields here. Hard to pin point the exact location, we just saw it while on the road.
