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.

15D14N Yunnan Trip - a fabulous experience!

We had an amazing trip and on behalf of all my trip mates, I would like to thank Hannah from Asia Odyssey sincerely for going through a lengthy liaison with me before the trip to plan a comprehensive itinerary. This was also carried out very smoothly when we were in Yunnan, thanks to our two guides Frank & Nancy - they’re amazing guides who are professional and very knowledgeable, helping us take plenty of great pictures and videos too. Frank was always patient with us, trying his best to attend to all our needs. Nancy was always thinking several steps ahead of us, recommending us special places with superb food for us to try and arranging for the food to be prepared and cooked so it would all be ready just as we reached so as to save time. Our driver 何师傅 was fabulous as well, always helping us with our luggage and offering friendly snippets of advice. We really appreciated how he drove our luggage all the way from Kunming to Dali and then from Lijiang all the way back to Kunming - this saved us A LOT of trouble and time lugging our huge suitcases on and off the train. A huge thank you to whoever from the company who contributed to this arrangement too
