Donglianhua Tourism Mingcun 东莲花旅游名村
Donglianhua offers a different architectural and community story from Dali’s best-known Bai towns. Look at the former merchant houses and caravan-related history, then leave room for the current village rather than treating it as a film set. Ask before entering or photographing lived-in buildings. It is a purposeful addition for migration, trade and community interests, especially when your route already includes Weishan, rather than a compulsory extra on an Erhai loop.
