DALI: The appeal of country life and finding inner peace in a quiet, ancient town close to grasslands and lakes, far from vehicles and laptops, drew large numbers of tourists to Yunnan province’s Dali Bai autonomous prefecture during this year’s Spring Festival.

This romantic life in Dali was recently vividly depicted in the popular television soap opera Meet Yourself, in which the heroine, an urban white-collar worker quits her job and moves to a bed-and-breakfast in a small town in the prefecture following the death of her best friend, where during the course of many ups and downs, she regains the courage to live and falls in love with an entrepreneur.
