Sun, tel 15368988688) provided for transport questions.
Dali has no metro system;
local buses and taxis are the main options and mostly run on QR-code payment via Alipay or WeChat Pay rather than a dedicated transit card.
Cash is still accepted on some buses, and having a China-linked Alipay/WeChat wallet loaded before race day is the most practical approach.
