  "connection_tips": "Dali Fengyi is scenic, with approaches over Erhai Lake and the Cangshan range. For ground transportation to the Dali Ancient City (approx. 30 km away) or the city center of Xiaguan (13 km away), the most efficient connection is the dedicated airport shuttle bus. Shuttles meet flights and link to the railway station and ancient city. For a more direct and private connection, authorized taxis are available outside the arrivals hall, with a ride to the Ancient City typically costing between 50 and 80 CNY.\n\nUsing the Didi rideshare app is also highly recommended, as it offers transparent pricing and a digital interface that helps overcome language barriers. Within the terminal, which features beautiful Bai ethnic architecture, amenities include several cafes serving local Yunnan coffee and tea. Because Dali is a premier tourist destination, the airport can become very crowded during holiday periods; it is wise to arrive at least two hours before your domestic departure. Security checks are thorough, and boarding typically begins 30 to 40 minutes before takeoff.\n\nA vital tip for those connecting to high-speed rail is that the railway station is about a 20-minute drive from the airport. Lastly, carry your passport at all times, as it will be verified at multiple security and check-in points throughout the facility. For the best views during your arrival connection, try to secure a window seat on the left side of the aircraft.",
