[quote=LEMONCACTUS ,32813]Last August I took a bus from Kunming to Dali,a 5 hour trip. If you do this be careful, the buses will all drop you off at Dali NEW Town (actually called Xiaguan). You can catch a 1rmb bus from the Xiaguan bus station to Dali old town, you'll know it when you get there!Lots of hostels and stuff in Dali. Cheaper if you stay outside the city walls. I stayed in a twin room for just 60rmb. The old city was about 2 minutes walk away.I stayed in the Lijiang Old Town Youth Hostel. Cheapest twin room was 80rmb but it was very small. I upgraded to a 150rmb room, bigger with ensuite the following day. Again accommodation is more expensive within the old town, but you can't beat the atmosphere. Also walked Tiger Leaping Gorge. It had just been 'reopened' after a week of rain, was very muddy in places but absolutely fabulous. Again, weather was around 25 degrees.The weather in Dali/Lijiang August was around 25 degrees, and it rained a lot.Have fun[/quote]
