After nearly 50 years, Robert, a journalist from London, returns to Dali. In 1977, the town was a quiet farming village with bicycles drifting through lanes.

Robert says the essence of the real China lies in this timeless scenery and local life. He believes more Westerners will fall in love with Dali's charm.
