One of the ancient city of Dali’s core attractions for foreign travelers is Huguo Lu, also known with locals as Yangren Jie or "Foreigner’s Street". This street is where the famous cafes and guesthouses cluster along with souvenir shops and other interesting stores to create a little tourist paradise. Huguo Lu is the major reason that Dali has developed into a backpacker’s paradise with cheap beer, Western food, and lodging. Currently, forty thousand tourists visit Dali annually and "Foreigner’s Street" has expanded into neighboring streets including Bo’ai Lu and Fuxing Lu.

How to get there: Huguo Lu is located in the northern part of the ancient town between Bo’ai Lu and Fuxing Lu. Since the ancient town is quite small, you can access the street by foot, from any point in the town.
