The Dali Sanyue Festival (March Festival)

Intangible Heritage

The Dali Sanyue Festival is a traditional festival of the Bai people, mainly held in Dali Old Town, Dali City, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China. The Dali Sanyue Festival started during the Yong Hui period of the Tang Dynasty (650 to 655 AD) and evolved from a traditional temple fair. The origin of March Street is closely related to the introduction of Buddhism into Dali. At that time, Nan Zhao was the political, economic and cultural centre of Yunnan Province, and it had frequent contacts with Southeast Asian countries. The monks from ancient India, Zantra Horodo, preached and taught at the foot of Cang Mountain and collected followers, forming Guanyin Street, which was a temple fair for Buddhist activities, and gradually evolved into a trade fair with strong national characteristics and an event for national cultural exchange.
