Located in southwest China's Yunnan Province, Dali Ancient City was once an important transit point along the Tea Horse Road. The South Gate Tower of Dali Ancient City is the perfect spot to overlook the old town's most historical block: from here, the chessboard-style street layout and ancient architectural features come into full view. Tiled roofs, cobblestone walls and flagstone pavements all highlight the city's profound heritage. During the day, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the ancient city. At night, the tower shines brightly under the lights. As the new year approaches, may you encounter the tenderness and poetry of 2026 on the flagstone roads of the ancient city.
