Dali Old Town is one of the most diverse places in all of China attracting talented individuals from other propvinces, and other parts of the world. The problem is most travelers do not get past the main tourist traps to witness this unique perspective.

This walking tour will cover the entire Old Town in 3 hours introducing you to the past history of this ancient capital while also plugging you into the current creative and art scene and the people who make it happen. Not only will we see some of Dali's most famous landmarks including the city wall, and Catholic church, and Film museum, but also gain access to many of Dali's small enterprising shops that sell hand made crafts, Yunnan tea, delicious snacks and textiles and fabrics.

The highlight of this tour is being able to meet both the local Dali folk, Chinese from other provinces, and Expat westerners who call Dali home in a relaxed and spontaneous setting.
