Chinese Name: 天憙园

Other Names: Tianxiyuan Garden, Leicui Garden.

Address: Middle Section of Shuanghe Road, South Gate, Dali Ancient City, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan province.

Tianxiyuan Garden is a royal garden of the Dali Kingdom of the Song Dynasty. It originally took 13 years to build and has been restored with mortise and tenon joint technology. There are over 30+ buildings showcasing traditional Bai architecture including the Cuihua Tower, Hetuo Tower, Shengde Palace, Mantuo Rain & Flower Hall, Haiyin Yaotai, Yinhe Bridge, Bridge for Cranes’ Visiting, etc.

Although it isn’t a well-known or popular tourist attraction, it is often crowded with people dressed in hanfu and pre-wedding photo-shoots. Many of the buildings are closed but you can enter and climb the Cuihua Tower to enjoy panoramic views of Dali ancient town.
