Dali is a magical place, nestled between towering peaks and a shimmering lake, just shy of 2,000m altitude in southwest China's culturally diverse Yunnan Province. While filming here, Travelogue hosts Alex McCutcheon, Tianran He and Jack Klumpp unpack how this area, once a powerful kingdom and crucial trading hub, has transformed into a hub of tourism, catering to millions in search of a slower pace of life. They toy with the idea of joining Dali’s growing population of "urban refugees," and consider the practical limitations of life away from the big smoke.
