6 Days Cultural Tour to Kunming and Dali (Yunnan)
Southeast Asian Mask

Discover the cultural heart of Yunnan on a six-day odyssey through Kunming and Dali, where ancient heritage meets stunning landscapes and living craft traditions. Beginning in Kunming, the “Spring City,” this immersive journey goes beyond sightseeing to offer hands-on participation in authentic workshops, from the intricate art of Bai Tie-dye and traditional Jia Ma Folk Woodblock Printing to the time-honoured practice of Pu’er Tea Making. A dedicated campus visit to Dali University facilitates meaningful exchange with local scholars and students, deepening cultural understanding through direct engagement.

The experience unfolds across both timeless and contemporary spaces - from the historic cobblestone lanes of Dali Ancient Town to the breathtaking terraced vistas of Lixiang Bang (Ideal Land). Each day reveals new layers of cultural insight, allowing participants not only to witness but also to actively participate in the living traditions that shape this diverse and enchanting region.
