Hi, Recommendation to stay Dali old town or new town?

You are advised to stay in old town which is brimmed with an ancient ambience, which is worth for your trip. You can find many hostels, and inns in the old town. Have a great time!

Please may I know where is the Old town and where is the new town location.
Is it near the Dali Railway station or Bus station the distance?
How to get there and what is the cost?

The Old Town is where Dali Ancient City lies. The new town is located at Xiaguan, about 9 miles (14km) to the south of old town. The railway station and bus station are located in the new town. To the old, you can take bus Three Pagodas Special Line. The fare is CNY 2 to 3. :)
