Old city & basin
Dali Museum 大理白族自治州博物馆
Visit the prefecture museum in Xiaguan when you want objects and interpretation to deepen the rest of a Dali stay. Choose Bai history and material culture as your focus, then connect details of clothing, household objects or beliefs with what you notice in the towns. It is particularly useful for a wet afternoon or a day already based near the modern city. Keep it separate from the similarly named municipal museum in the old town when arranging transport.
