1-Day Tie Dye Experience Tour in Dali
Our tour starts in Dali Old Town and takes you to the non-touristic Xizhou and Zhoucheng. First, we will visit Xizhou, a famous historical and cultural Bai minority town with well-preserved architecture and then continue to Zhoucheng, the hometown of Chinese tie-dyeing. This Dali traditional dyeing process is unique in China and even in the world. During our tour, you can experience minority’s folk customs and daily local life and even better, you can tie-dye by yourself. Afterwards we will go on a cruise on Erhai lake and visit a local fishing village.
