Reviews: Dali Cangshan Mountain cable car ► Erhai Lake cruise ► Xizhou Shuanglang Ancient Town | Optional small group | Song and dance performance with three-course tea
Guest User2026-11-01
After comparing several Cangshan-Erhai day tours, I finally chose this one and it was a great choice! I was torn between Ximatan and Gantong, but I'm so glad I chose Gantong – it was much better value for money. The cable car route is lined with lush vegetation, perfect for girls like us who don't want strenuous hiking. Be sure to go to the top deck on the Erhai Lake cruise ship; the view is breathtaking, watching the villages and islands slowly recede into the distance – it's incredibly soothing. The itinerary was well-connected, avoiding the hassle of transfers. The tour guide was very friendly and even discreetly pointed out the best photo spots. It was a pure sightseeing tour with no hidden costs. If you want to experience both Cangshan and Erhai in one day but don't want to plan your own itinerary, this is a great option.

Reviews: Cangshan, Three Pagoda, Xizhou, Erhai Lake, Dali Ancient City Tour for Foreign Tourists
Guest User2025-08-20
The eight of us who had planned the backpacking trip only had one day to spare in Dali. Our itinerary involved taking a train from Kunming the previous evening, doing a day tour, and heading to Lijiang the next morning. Initially, we intended to take a taxi or bus, but we decided that while a private car tour would cost a bit more, it would be more cost-effective. The private car driver paid meticulous attention to detail, such as using a smartphone for translation and always parking closest to our destinations. Thanks to him, we completed a comfortable day tour. At Xizhou Ancient Town, about 100 meters from the entrance, there was a coffee shop opposite the public restroom that was atmospheric and very affordable. They ground the beans on the spot and made an Americano for 5 yuan. In other places, Maxim coffee was 5 yuan. Shuanglang Ancient Town was not very impressive. The S-shaped riverside road offered great photo opportunities. Chongjing Temple, with its Three Pagodas, was also nice.

Reviews: Yunnan Dali Ancient Courtyard Clay Pottery and Tile Cat Handicraft Experience
Guest User2026-07-21
Our family of four booked the Taoyao Treasure Village online the night before. It was an authentic experience. We visited the centuries-old dragon kiln, made our own tile cats, and enjoyed the simple, traditional craftsmanship. We also had lunch in the owner's courtyard. The other travelers were very friendly. Highly recommended!

Reviews: Dali around-Erhai Lake 1-day tour [Shuanglang Ancient Town + The Dream Land + Xizhou + S-bend + 2-8 person group]
Guest User2026-11-01
One of the best decisions we made in Dali! I booked this tour just 2 days before our Dali trip. The tour manager who I communicated with on http://Trip.com was very nice and professional. They explained that my first hotel booking could not be accommodated because it was too far from their pick-up point, so they politely declined the initial booking — which I completely appreciated for their honesty. I then changed our hotel to Dali Old Town and rebooked. After that, everything became very easy and seamless. After the tour, they dropped us off at the Old Town entrance, just a 50-meter walk from our hotel. I highly recommend booking with them. This is one of the most affordable tours but really worth every penny. Excellent value for money! Rating: 10/10 - Highly Recommended!

Reviews: Lijiang to Dali ancient city + 7-9 seater private charter rideshare + departure from Lijiang/Dali + choose your starting point
Guest User2026-11-06
Originally, I planned to take the high-speed train from Lijiang to Dali, but I found that taking a taxi was more convenient. It's a point-to-point service, saving me the hassle of dragging my luggage around and making multiple transfers. The travel time was about the same as the high-speed train. After researching various options, I finally decided to book here. We were the last group of passengers to board, and once everyone was on board, we immediately set off onto the highway. The whole trip took about 3 hours, with a short stop for restroom breaks. It was much more hassle-free than taking the high-speed train. Communication was also very smooth. Highly recommended!

What a coincidence to meet Mr. Yang! I went to Shangri-La the day before yesterday, and today I went to Erhai Lake in Dali. His license plate is Yun P53939. His service was excellent, and Erhai Lake was beautiful! I want to stay at Erhai Lake for a few more days next time!
