Practical guide
Dali Ancient Town: start at South Gate and build a walk around Fuxing Road
Use the prefecture’s official route structure to turn a broad town pin into a walkable plan.
Dali Prefecture’s visitor guide starts each of its suggested town routes at the visitor center and South Gate, then links key stops through the historic core. Its routes identify Fuxing Road, Foreigner Street, Jiang Gong Shrine and Honglongjing among the named waypoints, and state that electric sightseeing vehicles operate between route segments. Treat vehicle operation, individual-site access and any guide service as live conditions.
A clear next step
- Use 大理古城南门游客中心 / Ancient Town South Gate Visitor Center as a clear starting point rather than a generic town-wide map pin.
- Walk a route that uses Fuxing Road as the central spine, then choose only the named stops that fit your time and interests.
- If you need a non-walking segment, ask locally about the current sightseeing-vehicle route instead of assuming a historic route diagram is still in operation.
