Dali

Dali was spectacular. I learned how to bargain with street vendors, and hopefully I wasn’t completely bad at it. The Buddhist temple might be the most beautiful place I have had the fortune to visit. There were giant statues of Buddhist gods that brushed the ceiling. The reflection pools aloud us to see six pagodas instead of the original three. We were able to see a traditional Bai marketplace that sold pigs heads and brains of various animals. It was definitely interesting. The Chinese countryside provides some of the most beautiful landscapes of mountains and isolated villages. I can’t wait to see what Lijiang has to offer!
