Highlights
Tucked away in the south of Dali prefecture, lies a little old town not many have heard about called Weishan. Weishan old town enjoys a long history as well as a great diversity of culture and is by far not as crowded as Dali, Lijiang or Shangri-La Old Towns. Contrary to Yunnan's major tourist hot spots. Weishan Old Town puts great importance on sustainably developed tourism, protecting and maintaining its heritage and culture. Spend two relaxing days away from the crowds in this charming little city with its still authentic old town. Feel the cozy atmosphere, enjoy local snacks and learn more about Taoism at the nearby Weibaoshan Mountain. D1 Dali - Weishan: Weishan Old Town D2 Weishan - Dali: Weibao Mountain, East Lotus village

Itinerary
Get picked up around 9:00 from your hotel in Dali Old Town by your tour guide and driver and get on the way to Weishan (about 1.5-hour drive). Weishan Old Town is located at the foot of Ailao Mountain and is a historical and cultural city known as the cradle of the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom (738-902). Even though the old kingdom no longer exists, old architecture can still be marveled at and also traditional costumes are still worn today. Enter Weishan from the north through the beautiful and impressive Gongshen gate, which is all that survived of the original wall that encircled the town. Visit the diverse historical sites in the old town or the food street, full of local dishes and snacks you should not miss.
In the morning, you will visit Weibao Shan, one of China's fourteen holy Taoist mountains with 22 old Taoist temples, from which the first were built in the Tang dynasty. Enjoy a stroll along the green mountain sides and ancient temples.
After Weibaoshan, we will visit East Lotus Village (Donglianhua village), a hamlet mainly inhabited by Hui minority Muslims, decedents from the Mongol army that conquered Yunnan in the 13th century. The village has a large mosque and there are many mosques in the area. The Ma family build three impressive courtyard houses with the money they made with trade along the Tea Horse routes. We will then drive back to Dali and get dropped off at your hotel or Dali Old Town.
