The Diocese of Dali/Tali (Latin: Talian(us), Chinese: 大理) is a Latin Catholic diocese located in the city of Dali in the ecclesiastical province of Kunming in southwestern China.

In 2000, the Vatican appointed Lawrence Zhang Wen-Chang as Apostolic Administrator of Dali. He served until his death in 2012.[1]

The Cathedral heavily incorporates elements of traditional Chinese architecture. It has a large crucifix on the exterior to identify itself as a church. The cathedral's exterior and interior design provides visual associations with Daoist and Buddhist buildings found throughout China.[2]
