Dali Old Town is compact and easily explored on foot, with bikes, electric scooters, and electric micro cars available for rent to navigate the vicinity or ride around Erhai Lake. Local taxis are also an option for getting around the Old Town and to nearby areas.

However, Dali is a large prefecture with many destinations outside the Old Town. A rental car offers the most flexibility for exploring these wider areas and natural attractions. Nearly a third of hotels offer airport shuttle services to and from Dali Airport (DLU) or Lijiang Airport (LJG), which can simplify arrival and departure. Many resorts also include on-site dining and activities, reducing the daily need for transportation if you plan to stay primarily at your hotel.

Choosing a hotel depends on whether you prioritize proximity to the city's core or the tranquility of the lake and surrounding nature.
