#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Dali in Yunnan is famous for "one mountain, one sea and one ancient town". The mountain is Cangshan Mountain and the sea is Erhai Lake. However, the ancient town is not Dali Ancient Town, but "Xizhou Ancient Town". This town was once popular for the beautiful scenery of wind blowing wheat waves and the TV series "Where There Is Wind". However, the most beautiful thing about Xizhou is the tranquil pastoral scenery, the simple and true beauty. Xizhou is located 18 kilometers north of the ancient city of Dali. Historically, it was an important military town of Nanzhao and one of the commercial centers of Yunnan. It preserves the most and best Bai ethnic minority residential buildings and is the birthplace of the crispy and delicious Xizhou Baba. The characteristic of Xizhou Ancient Town is that there are many Bai ethnic group buildings with gray eaves, gray tiles, white stone walls, and wooden window lattices. There are three courtyards and one screen wall, four courtyards and five patios. Green mountains and trees can be seen everywhere. There are fewer tourists than in Dali or Lijiang Ancient Town, so it is also very comfortable to take a walk. #YunnanTourism #Xizhou Ancient Town

#discoverchina #dali Visiting Xizhou in Dali was an unforgettable experience, especially for someone who loves photography like me. The ancient town, with its well-preserved Bai ethnic architecture, cobblestone streets, and vibrant local culture, offers endless picturesque scenes—from charming old courtyards to lively market stalls. One of the highlights was discovering the beauty of traditional tie-dye fabric, or 扎染 (zhā rǎn). Watching artisans skillfully create intricate patterns using natural indigo dyes was mesmerizing, and I instantly fell in love with the craft. The bold blue-and-white designs, full of artistic charm, became my favorite souvenir. Between snapping photos of the idyllic scenery and admiring the handmade textiles, Xi Zhou stole my heart as a perfect blend of visual delight and cultural richness.

Why come to Xizhou? 】 More primitive than Dali Ancient Town and more down-to-earth than Shuanglang! Xizhou is a "living fossil of Bai culture". The centuries-old business legend is hidden between the green tiles and white walls. When the wind blows through the wheat waves, it looks like a healing countryside in a cartoon. 【Must-check-in list】 ✅ Corner Building (Former Residence of Yang Ruxuan): The Renaissance style is mixed with Bai architecture, and the curved yellow wall at the intersection is super photogenic! It is recommended to come at 8 am to avoid the crowds and take photos of empty space. ✅ Xilinyuan Rice Field: Green in summer/gold in autumn, the coffee cart in the middle of the rice fields and the garlands woven by the Bai aunties are all perfect props. A bird's-eye view from the second-floor terrace, giving you the same perspective as in "Where the Wind Is". ✅ Yan Family Courtyard (ticket price 30 yuan): The old house of the richest man of the "Xizhou Merchants Group" consists of a three-courtyard courtyard and a Western-style building. You can see the "three-layer transparent" wood carving technique and listen to the story of the caravan walking along the Ancient Tea-Horse Road. ✅ Sea Tongue Park (free): 3 km north of the ancient town, there is a couple tree + dead tree shoal, a secret place where the blue of Erhai Lake and the green of the meadow collide. It is very romantic to ride a bike or take a horse-drawn carriage to go there~ 【Food Crit】 🔥 Xizhou Baba: Crispy shell + rose sugar/fresh meat filling, we recommend "Fuxing Posu Baba", a time-honored brand in the ancient town, 10 yuan/piece and you're full! 🔥 Cool Cabin: Handmade fresh milk popsicles are a must! The taste of Rushan is slightly salty and milky, and the combination of glutinous rice and yogurt is even more surprising. 🔥 Bai ethnic group’s private dishes: The yak hotpot with mint at "Peng Yile" and the braised pork shredded rice at "Sifang Street Restaurant" are both priced at RMB 50 per person and taste like home. 【Niche gameplay】 ▪️ Tie-dye handmade: Experience the intangible cultural heritage of "Lanxu Ancient Tie-Dyeing", dye an Erhai blue square scarf by yourself (80-150 yuan per person), and listen to the manager talk about the magic of turning isatis root into dye. ▪️ Catch the morning market: Go to Zhengyimen Market from 7:00 to 9:00, buy a basket of strawberries for 5 yuan, watch Bai grandmas trading with backpacks, and eat freshly kneaded pea flour. ▪️ Listen to the ancient music of Dongjing: There are free performances at Wufeng Tower on Wednesdays. The sound of the pipa performed by the 89-year-old artist carries the echoes of the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom. 【Photography Tips】 📸 Outfit: Cotton and linen long skirt + straw bag, or white T-shirt + denim overalls, paired with ethnic style earrings for a more stylish look! 🌅 Golden time: 1 hour after sunrise/2 hours before sunset, the light and shadow of the yellow wall of Xilinyuan are beautiful. 🚫 **Lightning avoidance**: It is easy to overexpose the rice fields when photographing them under overhead light at noon. It is recommended to hide in the "field coffee" and drink hand brewed coffee to wait for the light. 【Traffic Tips】 🚗 Dali Ancient Town → Xizhou: 30 minutes by car, or take the "Xiaguan-Xizhou" minibus (7 yuan/person) 🛵 In the ancient town: walking + tricycle (10 yuan/trip), rent an electric car for 40 yuan/day for more freedom! “Xizhou is not a tourist attraction, it is life itself.” In the embroidery needle of the old lady at the corner of the alley and in the rustling sound of wheat waves in the wind, you will fall in love with this utopia where time slows down. 📍Navigation: Xizhou Ancient Town, Dali City｜🕒Recommended tour: 1 day #Xizhou Ancient Town #Dali Travel #Go to a Windy Place #Yunnan Niche Travel

Xizhou Ancient Town (喜洲古镇) is a hidden gem rich in Bai ethnic culture, well-preserved traditional architecture, and unique local flavors. Compared to the more touristy Dali Ancient Town, Xizhou offers a quieter and more authentic experience. Walking through Xizhou’s old streets, you’ll find charming courtyards, local markets, and friendly Bai people dressed in traditional attire. One of the best experiences is simply wandering through the rice fields surrounding the town, where you can see locals farming and enjoy peaceful views of Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain. Renting a bicycle is a great way to explore these stunning landscapes. Famous Foods in Xizhou like Xizhou Baba (喜洲粑粑) ( flatbread stuffed with either savory fillings like minced pork and scallions or sweet versions with red bean paste or rose petals), Fried tofu (包浆豆腐) and Rushan Cheese (乳扇) are must try! #favouriteitinerary

It is currently 10 yuan per person, and you can bargain to 15 yuan per 2 people. Check-in place Yan Family Courtyard Museum (ticket price 18 yuan, opening hours: 8:30-18:00) ◆ Ancient Banyan Tree This is the ancient tree where Liu Yifei cried in the TV series "Where the Wind Goes". It is outside the Xizhou Ancient Town. Navigate to "Hetianli Boutique Homestay" and walk for about ten minutes. Corner Building: There are many tourists passing by. There is nothing interesting to photograph in the rice fields of Xizhou in January. Xizhou also has very popular check-in walls with words such as "Xizhou" and "Huanxizhizhou". "Xizhou" (navigation "Dong Jinhanyuan", there are two big characters "Xizhou" on the white wall) "Huanxizhizhou" (right next to the "Xizhou" wall) "Xi Shang·Guzidi" wall (navigation "Xi Shang·Guzidi" this store) Daxizhizhou (navigation "Xi Ba Wan") Xizhou sweetheart (navigation "Four Eyes Cheese") Food: Xizhou Posu Baba (sweet and salty, I think the hot sweet one tastes better, 10 yuan/piece) Shihuaji Flower Cake (this flower cake is amazing, the filling is not very sweet, there are original flavors, matcha, purple sweet potato, 4 yuan/piece, 10 yuan/3 pieces) I think it tastes much better than Jiahua and Pan Xiangji. Ah Maying pea flour, it is said to be delicious, but it was closed on the day I went Zhuozhuo flavor snacks (very popular, you won’t go wrong with anything you order) The fried small fish and grilled milk fan at the roadside stalls are also worth a try. The flavor of ice cream and milk tea is the same across the country, haha. Sifang Street Restaurant (Yunnan cuisine)

I came to Yunnan just to take these 18 photos. Xizhou Ancient Town is so beautiful in summer! Whether it's rainy or sunny, it's always atmospheric~ We spent five days in Dali and Lijiang, respectively, and had plenty of time to visit many places~ In Dali, it's easy to get around Erhai Lake. In Lijiang, we only went to Lijiang Ancient Town and Shuhe Ancient Town. There are many hidden gems in the town to explore~ The weather is really important when traveling in Yunnan! Be sure to check the weather!

Xizhou Ancient Town is not large, and you can explore it thoroughly in just half a day. Suggested travel route: Enter the ancient town through Xizhou Justice Gate - Ancient Banyan Tree - Yan Family Courtyard - Corner Tower - Wheat Field - Haixie Park What to see in Xizhou Ancient Town? Bai ethnic ancient architectural complex: Xizhou is an important town where the Bai ethnic group resides, so there are many preserved Bai residential buildings here: the unique house structures of 'three rooms and one screen wall' and 'four courtyards and five wells', with painted decorations such as carved beams, painted rafters, overlapping brackets, and flying eaves, allowing you to enjoy them all at once. ★ Must-see attractions include: ⊙ Yan Family Courtyard Museum (a mansion of a wealthy local merchant from over 100 years ago) Ticket: 18 yuan Opening hours: 8:30-18:00 ⊙ Towering ancient trees: Not far from the Justice Gate, there is a 50-year-old ancient banyan tree, still thriving today. ⊙ Corner Tower: A must-visit spot in Xizhou. If you want to take undisturbed photos, try to arrive before 8:30. Otherwise, you'll have to take photos amidst carriages, cars, and crowds, making it difficult to get good shots. ⊙ Large swaying wheat fields: From March to May, it's wheat fields: rapeseed flowers in early March, green fields in April. From June to October, it's rice fields: turning golden by mid-September. ⊙ Fragrant and hot Xizhou Baba. Actually, you don't have to insist on eating Xizhou Baba in Xizhou. The freshly made ones sold in small alleys outside are cheap and delicious. Personally, I think the sweet ones (with brown sugar filling) are tastier than the savory ones. Freshly baked ones with a crispy crust are the most delicious, with flowing brown sugar filling, but be careful not to burn yourself. ⊙ From Xizhou to Haixie Park: It is about 3km from the wheat fields of Xizhou Ancient Town to Haixie Park. You can take a taxi or a small yellow tricycle.

Xizhou Ancient Town has a history of over a thousand years and is an old place for the Bai people in China. Mr. Lao She once said that Xizhou is a remarkable place.

These houses have three small houses surrounding a large courtyard (San Fang Yi Zhao Bi) or four houses surrounding five courtyards (Si He Wu Tian Jing).

🎈Compared to the grandeur of Dali Ancient City, I prefer the tranquility and delicacy of Xizhou Ancient Town. This thousand-year-old town is bordered by Erhai Lake to the east and Cangshan Mountain to the west, attracting countless tourists with its famous 'wind-blown wheat waves.' 🎈Unfortunately, when I visited in early July, there were no wheat fields left🌾, but there were endless green rice fields, which were equally pleasing to the eye. The small train travels through the fields🚂, accompanied by blue skies and white clouds, making it feel like being in a Hayao Miyazaki anime world. Taking a break at a coffee shop in the fields, a sense of relaxation washes over you☕. 🎈Walking into Xizhou Ancient Town, numerous Bai ethnic residences come into view. The 'three rooms and one screen wall,' 'four courtyards and five patios,' high-pitched eaves, exquisite brackets, and beautifully carved beams and painted rafters🏫. 🎈The uniquely shaped corner buildings attract countless tourists, and I am one of them😄. However, it was too crowded to take good photos. I suggest visiting Xizhou Ancient Town either at 8 am or in the evening. 🎈Yan Family Courtyard is a large courtyard in Xizhou Ancient Town, revealing the glory and honor of the past everywhere. It features exquisite wood carvings, ingenious stone carvings, and colorful paintings🌟. It is said to be the mansion of a wealthy local merchant over 100 years ago. 🎈Everywhere in Xizhou Ancient Town🎬, you can see scenes from the TV series 'Where the Wind Goes.' Besides the wooden carving house of Xia Xia, Xiufang, and the yellow walls of Xilin Garden outside the ancient town, the wheat fields (now rice fields)🌾, the couple tree where Li Xian and Liu Yifei led their horses, and a 300-year-old big green tree🌳 where Liu Yifei cried in the drama.

No need to buy too many, as many are also available online. ② Many enthusiastic ladies in the ancient town will ask if you want to braid your hair💰. It's best to ask for the price first. 💖Spending half a day in Xizhou Ancient Town, we had no hurried or tight schedule, only pure tranquility and beauty. Every grass, tree, brick, and tile here filled me with endless warmth and comfort💖.
