Dali sits quietly between mountains and water, where life moves at a slower, more easygoing pace. Away from the rush of modern cities, it has become a place where people come to slow down, reset and reconnect with a simpler rhythm of living.

Over time, it has attracted travelers, dreamers and those in transition – people who arrive for different reasons, but often find themselves staying longer than expected. Not quite an escape, and not exactly a destination, it's more like a pause button on life, where things feel a little clearer and more grounded. Follow CGTN reporter Wang Tao and step into Dali to see what life here feels like today.
