Flower cake is a specialty snack that combines the fragrance of fresh flowers with pastry-making techniques. With a long history, it embodies the unique culinary culture of Dali. During preparation, use the fresh edible rose petals and  flour to create a dough that is finely kneaded and baked to achieve a crispy crust and an aromatic filling. Flower cake is sweet and aromatic without being overly rich, with a pronounced floral scent.

It originates from Yongping County in Dali. Its unique preparation method reflects local characteristics.  Select local chicken and simmer with a secret sauce until tender. The yellow braised chicken has a golden color, tender texture, and a rich, savory taste that melts in the mouth. I highly recommend eating it with rice!

 Ru Shan originates from a traditional dairy product made from milk. It has a long history and embodies the unique culinary culture of Dali. The production involves heating fresh milk until it solidifies into a milk fan, followed by slow roasting over charcoal. Ru Shan carries a rich milk aroma and a distinctive roasted flavor, making it soft and delicious to taste.

The Three Courses Teas ,originating from the Bai ethnic group in Dali, is a unique tea drinking ritual with a long history that carries rich ethnic cultural significance. It consists of "Bitter Tea, Sweet Tea, and Aftertaste Tea," representing different stages of life. The preparation involves brewing Bitter Tea with roasted tea leaves, then adding red sugar and milk fan to prepare Sweet Tea, and finally making Aftertaste Tea with honey and ginger slices. The Three Special Teas offers a rich and layered taste experience, symbolizing the vicissitudes of life.
