Dali Experience Community

WeNot a company, we areFriends from the community, gradually coming together but working independently.

In 2019, I launched 'Hiking Experience + Home-cooked Dinner' on Airbnb. Visitors to Dali loved it and recommended it to their friends. Later, some friends from the community joined the team, bringing different local experiences. In 2022, after Airbnb stopped its operations in China, we created our own Chinese WeChat Mini Program for local travelers. Now, we've built this multilingual website hoping to meet more travelers from different countries and create meaningful travel experiences in Dali.

In April 2023, I traveled to Iran. Fortunately, I was able to experience the country's lifestyle more deeply because I met local friends there. Through this experience, I realized that when people travel to another country, having a "friend" there— even if meeting for the first time — makes a big difference. Therefore, we decided to focus on two things from a traveler’s perspective to make your journey more meaningful.

1️⃣Making in-depth travel easierWe provide outdoor experiences and take you to those hard-to-reach places: mountain paths, streams, lakes, villages, farms, and local delicacies. We hope your trip is both enriching and relaxing.No group size requirementsMost short trips can be completed with just one client, as we serve independent travelers.

And since most tourists coming to China from other countries face significant language barriers, we not only offer "Language services" but will also assist you in arranging local transportation. For example, helping you "arrange taxis"get picked up from your hotel to the meeting point and back.

2️⃣Providing abundant self-guided tour information.

Aside from cost considerations, we also enjoy exploring independently without a tour guide while traveling, as it allows more freedom. We will share a wealth of information for you to explore on your own. This includes detailed information about natural outdoor attractions, temples, ancient villages, hot springs, cafes, restaurants, and other recommended local business experiences. You'll find seasonal weather advice, what to wear, tips for traveling to Dali, local transportation, accommodations, and dining. We update regularly. By referring to this information in advance, you can plan your itinerary and make the most of your time here.
