What delicious food is there in Dali?
Bai ethnic flavors! Must-eat: Dali sour and spicy fish (crucian carp + sour papaya + chili), Xizhou baba (flaky baba, both sweet and savory), rushan (made from cow's milk! Grilled/fried and dipped in white sugar), shengpi (pig skin seared over fire and left half-raw—challenge level!), crossing-the-bridge rice noodles, wild mushroom hot pot (mushroom season July-September). Spice level: medium spicy, mainly sour and spicy. Renmin Road in the old town is a snack paradise.
