Tabula
Dali stretches along the western shore of Erhai Lake in western Yunnan, pressed between the water and the Cang Mountains. This gives it an unusually clear shape on a map. A narrow band of towns, villages and fields runs north to south, with the lake on one side and steep, empty slopes on the other. The modern city centre, Xiaguan, sits at the southern tip of the lake.
About a dozen kilometres to the north lies the old town of Dali, once the capital of the Nanzhao and Dali kingdoms. Its walls enclose a near-square grid of stone-paved streets. Just outside stand the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, among the best-known landmarks in southwestern China. The area is home to the Bai people, known for their whitewashed houses and marble craft.
A Dali map poster brings the lake, the mountains and the old town into one frame. The shoreline curves long and smooth, and the old town appears as a small, precise square of streets. The roads between them follow the old route along the foot of the Cang range. It is a balanced, unhurried design for anyone who has travelled or lived here.
The long, ear-shaped lake runs north from Xiaguan, with fishing villages along its smooth shoreline. It forms the main open shape on the eastern side of the map.
Dali Old Town sits within its restored walls as a near-square grid of narrow streets and gates. It is one of the easiest historic plans in Yunnan to read on a map.
The Cang Mountains rise steeply west of the lake. The street network stops abruptly at their foot and leaves a band of blank terrain along the western edge of the map.

Cur Dali
Many people come to Dali for a week and stay for months, drawn by the lake, the mountains and the slower pace of the old town. A map of the place makes a lasting souvenir of a honeymoon, a long stay or a family home.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line, for example with the dates of your visit, and choose from five styles. Paper and Sand suit the pale Bai houses and the lake light. Order a framed print from partners in more than 30 countries, or download the HD files for $9.
