大理古城人民路
The most lively street in Dali Old Town, lined with boutiques, bars and night stalls selling handmade goods, making it the heart of the Old Town's nightlife.
Renmin Road is a long east-west street in Dali Old Town. It runs from the foot of Cang Mountain toward Erhai and crosses Fuxing Road. Along it are independent bookshops, folk music bars, handmade silver jewellery shops, cafés and snack stalls. After dusk, roadside stalls appear selling handmade goods, second-hand items, and tarot readings, and the street is considered one of the birthplaces of Dali's hippie culture. Visiting is free. It is best to stroll here after dinner. Keep an eye on your belongings, and haggling is acceptable when buying handmade jewellery.
