Yunnan Dali Tours - 10 Best Dali Yunnan Tour Packages (Best Prices 2025)

Why Yunnan Dali Tours? Nestled between the majestic Cangshan Mountains and the shimmering Erhai Lake, Dali is not only a haven for history buffs and nature enthusiasts but also a gathering place for artists and writers seeking cultural exchange and inspiration.

The phrase "Wind, Flowers, Snow, Moon" perfectly describes the natural landscape of Dali and symbolizes its unique artistry and romantic ambiance. Whether it's slow living by Erhai Lake or adventure in the Cangshan Mountains, Dali offers a unique, serene, and relaxing escape from the urban bustle. Historically, Dali served as the capital of the ancient Nanzhao and Dali kingdoms.

Dali is famous for its well-preserved ancient towns. Furthermore, Dali is distinctive for its Bai ethnic culture. The Bai ethnic group is renowned for its distinctive architecture, vibrant folk arts, traditional handicrafts, and festive celebrations. Dali, located in northwest Yunnan Province, China, is a key stop on a popular travel route Kunming - Dali- Lijiang. It sits approximately 250 kilometers northwest of Kunming and 150 kilometers south of Lijiang.

Our Yunnan Dali tours, crafted by our local professional team, are designed to offer an authentic and enriching experience that showcases the unique beauty and culture of Dali.

Amazing 30-Day Journey Across China — Well Organized and Truly Worth It

I just came back from the 30-Day China Panorama Tour from Guangzhou with Asia Odyssey Travel, and it was truly one of the most memorable trips I’ve ever joined.

From the moment I landed in Guangzhou, everything was well-coordinated. The local guide greeted us at the airport and made us feel welcome right away. We started with classic Cantonese highlights like the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, Lychee Bay, and traditional dim sum — a great introduction to southern China’s culture.

The route that followed was impressive. We cruised along the Li River in Guilin, cycled through Yangshuo’s peaceful countryside, and admired the Longji Rice Terraces. In Yunnan, Dali and Lijiang’s old towns were full of character, with snow-capped mountains in the distance. Chengdu was all about pandas and Sichuan food, Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong looked like scenes from a painting, and Chongqing’s mountain city views were unforgettable. The trip ended with Beijing’s Great Wall and Forbidden City, and Shanghai’s skyline — the perfect contrast of history and modern life.

Everything ran smoothly throughout. The guides were professional and friendly, the hotels were clean and comfortable, and transportation was efficient. My personal highlights were sharing bamboo rice with local villagers in Longji, standing by the turquoise lakes of Jiuzhaigou, and watching the city lights in Chongqing after dinner.

Amazing Yunnan Trip with Kids
We traveled with Asia Odyssey Travel for our family vacation in Yunnan. Cindy was the agent who organized everything and she was amazing. I had so many questions and wanted to alter the tour in some respects, and she accomodated all of my requests and was always happy to answer questions. My wife and I came with our 11 year old so and 5 year old daughter, and most of our guides were very sensitive to their needs. We traveled from Kunming to Dali, then Lijang, and finally to Shangri-La. There was a great mix of nature along with city tours. Everything was so well organized. When we return to China in the future I will definitely try to book a trip with them again!
