Former Customer Reviews

Hi Sandy,
yes I'm back home in Toronto and getting back into my routine. The tour was excellent and Justin was very knowledgeable. Also you did a fantastic job organizing the trip, it was greatly appreciated.
If I do ever come back to Beijing to visit I would use your tour company again.
Regards,

Day by Day Itinerary

  • Day 1 Arrival Dali (L)

    Transfer via: Flight on your arrangement
    Sightseeing:     The Ancient City of Dali

    After your arrival in Dali you will be met by your local guide and be transferred to your hotel.

    Then you will visit the Ancient City of Dali. The Ancient City faces Erhai Lake to the east ad Cangshan Mountain to the west. The gate tower of the City is grand and the sights here are beautiful. Dali is a magnificent ancient city with a perimeter of 6 kilometers. Its former city wall is 7.5 meters high and 6 meters thick. There used to be four city gates, one on each side. The Ancient City of Dali will give you a simple, unsophisticated and quiet impression.


  • Day 2 Dali (B, L)

    3 Days Dali Highlight Tour

    Sightseeing: Erhai Lake, Butterfly Spring,

    In the morning you will visit Erhai Lake. Erhai Lake is the largest highland lake next to Dianchi and one of the seven biggest fresh water lakes in China. It means, 'sea shaped like an ear', in Chinese. Implying that the lake is ear shaped and as large as a sea, hence it was so named. The lake covers an area of 250 square kilometers and is located about two kilometers east of Dali.

    Then we will head to Butterfly Spring, a popular beauty spot. Situated at the foot of Mount Shenmo, the first of the peaks of Mount Cangshan, Butterfly Spring rises to form a square shaped pool that is shaded by the dense foliage lining its banks. Above it there is an ancient decumbent tree. This is the famous 'Butterfly Tree', so called as in the short interval as spring turns to summer, its fragrant blossom attracts thousands of butterflies. These small multi-colored creatures fly around the pool and settle on the tree in great clusters as they sip the nectar from its blooms. The vast numbers of butterflies are hardly distinguishable from the flowers as the whole tree pulsates with every color of the rainbow.

    Finally you will see the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple. It is a symbol of the history of Dali City, and a record of the development of Buddhism in the area. As its name implies, Three Pagodas are made of three ancient independent pagodas forming a symmetrical triangle. This is unique in China.


  • Day 3 Departure Dali (B, L)

    Transfer via: Flight on your arrangement
    Sightseeing:     House of Bai people in Xizhou, Tie-Dyeing Zoucheng,

    In the morning you will take a private car to the houses of Bai people in Xizhou. The town of Xizhou is next to Erhai Lake and the Wanhua Brook. Historically, it was a military fortress of Nanzhao Kingdom and a temporary palace of the King of Nanzhao. Because of its favorable geographical situation, the town used to be a commercial centre before 1949 and where more than 140 national capitalist families used to live. Their houses are of the typical Bai design known as "Sanfang Yizhaobi" (a courtyard rooms on three sides and a screen wall on the remaining side) and "Sihe Wutianjing" (one big courtyard with four smaller ones at the four corners of the main one).

    Our next stop will be Tie-Dyeing Zoucheng, the largest and the farthest northern village of Dali City. The village has 7,571 inhabitants of 1,470 families. The entire village is in a square shape with row upon row of houses.

    Later you will be transferred to the airport to take the flight to your next destination.
