Greetings! My name is Daisy Shi (施小梅/Shi Xiaomei), and I am honored to be an English-speaking tour guide with both Dali Old Town International Travel Agency and Yunnan Exploration Travel. Born in 1973 in a small Bai village in Dali, Yunnan, I have a deep-rooted connection to the local culture and traditions. After completing my junior college studies in Dali in 1994, I worked in a foreign-related hotel in Dali city for nearly a decade. In 2017, I followed my passion for sharing Dali's beauty and heritage by becoming a certified full-time tour guide. I am proud to introduce visitors from all over the world to my hometown’s breathtaking natural landscapes and rich cultural heritage.

I focus on providing authentic experiences, guiding travelers through ancient sites, local villages, and the stunning landscapes that define Dali. Whether it’s exploring historical landmarks or participating in local traditions, I ensure each tour is immersive and memorable. Fluent in English, I take pride in bridging cultural gaps and creating meaningful connections between travelers and the magical world of Dali.
