The specialties that Dali can take away are Bai batik, Xiaguan Tuocha, milk fans and so on.
1. Bai batik
batik is to dip a wax knife in molten wax and draw flowers on the cloth, and then dip it with indigo. When the wax is removed, the cloth surface presents various patterns of white flowers on a blue background or blue flowers on a white background. At the same time, in the dip dyeing, the wax as resist agent naturally cracks, which makes the cloth surface present a special "ice pattern", which is particularly attractive. Because batik is rich in patterns, elegant in color and unique in style, it is simple and generous and full of national characteristics when used to make clothing and various practical articles for life.
2. Xiaguan Tuocha
is one of the famous brand products produced by Xiaguan Tea Factory in Dali City. It is made from the water of Sichuan Tuojiang River and tastes very good, so it is renamed Tuocha. Xiaguan Tuocha is made of famous teas produced in Lincang, Baoshan and Simao, Yunnan Province, and its initial production process is made by manual kneading and machine compaction. It is bowl-shaped, beautiful in shape and smooth in color. The color of the soup is orange and clear, and the taste is mellow and sweet.
