Abstract：Dali has become one of the most popular attractions for foreign tourists since it had its first foreign visitors in 1983. As a result, English came into the life of the local people.
This paper presents and explains the results of questionnaires and interviews about Dali people's attitude toward learning English. Three types of questionnaires were designed to local businessmen, local residents and foreign tourists. Interviews were also given whenever possible.
With the development of tourism, Dali is gradually becoming a place where Chinese culture and western cultures meet and coexist.
