This scenic spot features architectural elements inspired by the Greek Aegean Sea and is perfect for capturing stylish, Instagram-worthy travel shots.
Then, travel to Shuanglang Ancient Town, known as the “No. 1 town of Cang-Er Scenery” and recognized as a provincial-level historic and cultural town in Yunnan.

Dali Old Town → Jade Dragon Snow Mountain → Blue Moon Valley → Lijiang Old Town
After breakfast, depart at 08:00 and drive to Dali Old Town – Foreigner Street. Located in western Yunnan, the old town—also known as Yeyu City or Purple City—was built in 1382 during the Ming Dynasty. Surrounded by city walls and a moat, it features four main gates (east, west, south, and north) each with a watchtower. The layout is a classic grid pattern. Wander through ancient courtyards, lush gardens, and hear birds singing beside gurgling streams. You’ll still see the traditional scene of “a well for every three households, and flowers in every yard.”
Lunch includes a complimentary nutritious meal box. Then ride the Yunshanping Cable Car up Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, where the landscape is covered in lush spruce forests and majestic snow-capped peaks. The scenery is absolutely refreshing and awe-inspiring. As you walk through this ancient forest, towering spruce trees stretch endlessly before you.
(Optional upgrade: +¥100/person to take the Glacier Park Cable Car to 4,506 meters for panoramic views of the glacier park. Please confirm before the trip—cannot change after departure.)
