Dali Village life-the daily market in Dali and below an old family living in the traditional style in a courtyard. Wonderful people and a slow pace of life. Something we have forgotten living in big cities.
22/3/09 Visiting local familes in Dali, gaining insight into how they live. They still retain many old traditions. Below a family courtyard. This part of the tour was fascinating and learning about Bai culture, the women still wear traditional costumes. The brighter the costumes were worn by young women and the darker clothing by older women. The families were close knit and lived in community. However, younger people were leaving the villages for the cities. Many courtyards were protected and this was wonderful to see.
