Why Fengyu, Dali?
Nestled in the foothills of Cangshan Mountain, Fengyu is a serene town located in Dali, Yunnan Province, in the southwestern part of China. Known for its breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage, this region has long been a meeting point for diverse traditions, sitting at the crossroads of ancient trade routes.
The Bai people, who have called this region home for generations, embody a way of life steeped in balance and connection—values that resonate deeply with the goals of our retreat. Fengyu’s rich cultural heritage is celebrated through festivals like San Yue Jie, a vibrant event that highlights the Bai’s harmonious relationship with nature and community. From traditional tea ceremonies to exquisite craftsmanship, every aspect of life here reflects mindfulness, gratitude, and unity.
