Dali, a place one never wants to leave
"The three cups of tea are symbolic of the three stages of one's life journey:
going through all kinds of hardships when young, feeling the joy of life when
old, and recalling both bitter and happy experiences. In the Bai language, the
word for "pungent" sounds the same as the one for "affectionate". The tea is a
bond of friendship."
To sit and drink the tea, which is served in such a traditional manner, is a
rewarding cultural experience, as well as very relaxing and enjoyable. Once you
have tasted the third cup of tea, you will not forget the warmth and hospitality
of the Bai people.
Dali really is a place one must see during your lifetime. But what is Dali?
It is hard to give a clear definition of a place with so many amazing features.
I believe one thousand different travellers to Dali would see one thousand
different versions of Dali and every one of them would be wonderful. So what is
Dali in your eyes? If you have not yet visited Dali, you must come and see it
for yourself!
