Dali Old Town (Dali Ancient City) in Dali — view 2
Dali Old Town is a well-preserved ancient city that dates back over a thousand years, featuring traditional Bai architecture and meandering cobblestone streets. Visitors are greeted by iconic white-walled buildings crowned with black tiles, along with vibrant shops, tea houses, and local markets that reflect the region’s rich cultural heritage. Schedule time to wander through the old town without haste, particularly in the mornings when the streets are less crowded and the atmosphere is tranquil. Nearby, Erhai Lake offers scenic views and opportunities for cycling, while the Three Pagodas, a short distance to the northwest, provide a striking historical contrast amidst the natural surroundings.

    “Bruce Tang, our consultant, was exceptional. I highly recommend Bruce. We completed a 12-day tour of Yunnan, including time in Guilin and Yangshuo. Bruce was quick to reply and offered great suggestions while we planned our itinerary, which featured several fantastic bullet train rides. Our driver was excellent; we always felt secure, and despite the language barrier, we communicated effectively. Each town we visited had a guide, with quality ranging from outstanding to excellent. I will definitely turn to Bruce for future trips to China and will recommend him to friends.”— Wrenander on the Seven-day Yunnan old towns and mountain scenery tour tour
