Things to do in Dali

we are family group from Indonesia. This is our first time travel to Yunnan. we are very satisfied with this trip. special thanks to our tour guide, Xiao Wu. he is so helpful and kindhearted. thank you so much, Xiao Wu 🙏🏻🙏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Guide 茶金 was very friendly. We gave a list of places we wanted to go to, and he arranged it accordingly. He gave us our own time to explore places, and did not rush us. He even gave us some good suggestions on where to go for eg coffee at wenbi village, and brought us to a lunch place along the way (which was very yummy) as we had no idea where to go. He took us to some photo shots along the way, and shared his knowledge of Yunnan with us. It was an enjoyable trip!

The tourguide is very professional. Arrived at the meeting point before the meeting time. The transport throughout the journey was very spacious & comfortable. The inter city transport involved the High Speed train. The tour company booked a suitable & comfort seat throughout the HSR journey from Kunming to Dali, then from Lijiang back to Kunming. The hotels that were booked by the tour company are also very comfortable and near to the attraction point. In summary, the, i would rate it 9.0 out of 10.

We booked for 3 pax for April 2026. 7 others joined us to make up the group. Itenery covered as mentioned with sufficient free time given to explore the places we visited. Klook handled the picking up from the Train Station on Arrival to sending us to the Airport for Departure, promptly and timely at our schedule. Kudos. In this respect, hats off to the coordinator Winnie (小小舟) for doing the planning work for us. She had patience and guided us along from the point we made contact, enquired about packages, the details in between, to our booking, arrival and departure effortlessly. For the tour, we travelled on the same vehicle throughout our journey. For the first 3 days of the tour, we had an amicable and pleasant guide with the name 杨雪梅. We knew at once she had passion for this job. Thanks for the great photos & good angles despite the crowds and also information that helped us appreciate our tour better. The next 3 days, Maka was our guide. He was loud but respectful & helpful.

The [Dali Erhai Lake & Shuanglong One-Day Boat Tour] was magnificent! I received clear communication via WeChat, so I knew what to expect on the day of the activities. I was picked up at my homestay which was super convenient. The itinerary followed through as expected, but we did go overtime, though I didn't feel rushed throughout the day — it was an efficient tour to experience Dali and Erhai. Although I struggled a lot as the only english speaker, everyone was really kind and patient so I had a really enjoyable time. The price value is absolutely worth it, in my opinion. All the stops were a dream, but that last stop was a magical sunset bicycle (optional) ride at Panxiyuan, perfect way to end the day!

The itinerary was flawless — no rushing at all. My English speaking tour guide took the time to explain Dali’s history and patiently answered all my questions. My favorite parts were visiting the local morning market, exploring the variety of fresh fruits and seafood from different communities, and the tie-dye experience with the local grandma. Highly recommend this experience!

Our driver picked us up from our hotel at our own timing and we have a smooth journey. He also provided some brief history of shaxi and dali old town and accompanied us through out the journey. As a final stop our driver has also drove us to "santorini dali" at our request. The view of er hai from the hill top is indeed wonderful
