Yan Family Courtyard

On the way to Xizhou, I heard the Didi driver mention that there is a saying that "Dali is poor and Xizhou is rich".

The Yan family of Xizhou was the leader among the local wealthy merchants.

So when you go to Xizhou, you must visit the Yan Family Courtyard.

Admire the characteristic architecture of the Bai nationality in Dali.

Feel the life of the rich people in Xizhou~

The standard "three courtyards and one screen wall" and "four courtyards and five patios" are

The deep courtyard, the double doors, the upturned corners and the flying eaves, the winding paths leading to the secluded places;

Brick carvings, wood carvings, clay sculptures, murals,

Birds and animals, flowers, birds, insects and fish are lifelike and playful and cute;

Unlike ordinary courtyard houses, most of the houses in the Yan Family Courtyard have two floors, with boys living downstairs and girls living upstairs. There are round carved wooden windows at the four corners of the upstairs "Heavenly Fragrance Deep" where the girls live, called "Beauty Windows". When girls come of age, they can throw a ball of embroidery behind the Beauty Windows to choose a husband.

It makes people feel that there is no voice of complaining women in the usual gloomy courtyard.

The girl's heart is filled with the thought of meeting her lover by chance, tossing and turning, thinking about him day and night.



I bought a little yellow duck to blow bubbles.

The deep courtyard under the sun is simple, quiet and dreamy~

The courtyard is an important tourist attraction in Xizhou. It is known as the "classic of Bai folk houses" and is a model of Bai traditional crafts such as clay sculpture, painting, stone carving, and wood carving. You can also watch performances such as the Bai Three Tea Songs and Dances.

There is also an inn in the compound. The happiness of living here is still very high. You can enter the scenic area for free, and you can also enjoy it when there are fewer tourists. It is said that the single ticket is 91 yuan, but we didn't spend that money. It is very worthwhile.

I highly recommend you all to see the representative traditional Bai dwellings. Although we saw some grand and some simple dwellings along the way, we couldn't go in to visit them after all. Yan Family Courtyard is a typical example of traditional Bai dwellings. Feeling the difference in the local architecture here is also one of the special experiences in Dali.

Bai ethnic minority dwellings are definitely a major landscape of Bai ethnic minority architectural art. In the Bai ethnic minority Yan family compound, there is also a small auditorium for performances, mainly for the three-course tea performance. A Yan family compound, looking at the house and tasting tea, is worth a visit.

Xizhou Ancient Town was called "Dali City" during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and was one of the "Ten Eyelids" during the Nanzhao period. Most of the buildings inside are in the style of "three courtyards and one screen wall" of the Bai ethnic group. Among them, the most typical wealthy family "Yan Family Courtyard" requires a ticket to visit, 30 yuan per person. Xizhou was an economic town of the Nanzhao Kingdom, so it had the "Xizhou Merchants" who played an important role on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road. The "Yan Family Courtyard" is a building left by the "Xizhou Merchants", and its owner has been untraceable.

Yan Family Courtyard, also known as "Houlu", is located in the ancient town of Xizhou, Dali. It is a typical Bai ethnic minority residence, well preserved, with exquisite carvings. It makes full use of local marble and is particularly beautiful.

When I was in Dali, the driver said that there is a saying in the local area that "Dali is poor, Xizhou is rich". The town of Xizhou gave birth to the legendary caravan Yan Zizhen. The "Tuo Tea" he created was sold at home and abroad through the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and his "Yongchangxiang" business was also spread throughout the southwest and even Southeast Asia. There are many buildings related to the Yan family in Xizhou, among which the Yan Family Courtyard, which was built in 1907, is the most grand and exquisite. Its layout is a peculiar long and narrow shape, with four courtyards as soon as you enter, and a small Western-style building at the innermost. It seems that the caravans that traveled all over the country absorbed the essence of China and foreign countries. The courtyard is now a museum, where you can learn about the stories of the caravans and the Ancient Tea Horse Road, as well as the history of the Yan family's rise. Of course, even if you don't listen to the explanation, just looking at this building, you will realize that it is a treasure.

The representative of Bai ethnic group's houses, the architecture is unique, the tour guide explained very patiently

The Bai ethnic minority traditional ancient buildings that have survived to this day, coupled with the legendary experiences of their owners, are worth visiting.

The Yan Family Courtyard is next to the Ti Ming Fang in Xizhou Ancient Town.

Yan Family Courtyard is the home of Yan Zizhen, one of the four major families in Dali. It is the largest and best-preserved Bai building in Xizhou.

The family courtyard of the Bai nationality in Dali, Yunnan has a strong ethnic feel

The Yan family made their fortune by following the ancient Tea Horse Road. He invented Tuo tea and brick tea. He could make more money by doing business outside the home than by making silverware and jadeware locally. After several generations of development, the Yan family became a well-known wealthy family in Xizhou, Dali and even in northwest Yunnan. Indeed, happiness is achieved through hard work.

Opposite a signpost in Xizhou Yan Family Courtyard is a small house. You can buy tickets in front of the house. After buying the tickets, you will be given a sign and then taken inside by the tour guide in the courtyard. She will explain the history and architecture of Yan Family Courtyard. Yan Family Courtyard is renovated as if it is new. It is like visiting a house full of tea and silverware. The history of Yan Family is inseparable from tea and silverware. This is a bit like promoting "corporate culture". Tickets are the basis for entering to view these products. If you want to say why, you can only say that they are all genuine, so tickets are still required.

The Yan family's tea tasting included black tea, white tea, alpine rose, and Pu'er. On the one hand, it was tea tasting, and on the other hand, it was to promote Yan's tea. If you need it, you can buy it on the spot, but the cost of tea tasting is included in the ticket. Finally, the tour guide took us to a hall of the Yan family, which was full of silver jewelry. After taking us there, the tour guide left, and several shopping guides began to introduce silverware... but they said it was authentic snowflake silver.

The Yan Family Courtyard, which has Bai ethnic style, is really exquisite and large.

If you are visiting the Yan Family Compound, it is best to find a tour guide to explain it, otherwise you won’t be able to see anything if you go in by yourself.

Yan Family Courtyard is the largest ancient Bai building complex in Xizhou Ancient Town. Although the gate is small, there is a world inside. The white screen wall is a feature of the Bai people, which can reflect light and increase the brightness of the room. Four generations living together with children and grandchildren around is the greatest happiness for Chinese people. Only by studying hard can one live a harmonious and smooth life.

The Yan Family Courtyard is indeed a wealthy family, but this kind of courtyard can be found in every ancient town.

An attraction in Xizhou that requires tickets

It is a relatively well-preserved Bai ethnic minority residence.

The Yan Family Courtyard is not big, but it is a very distinctive and representative building in the local area.

Be aware that there is a fake Yan Family Courtyard over there, so be sure to locate the real one.

If you want to experience the glory of Xizhou, the largest town of the Bai nationality, you must visit the Yan Family Courtyard Museum. This Bai nationality courtyard, which is more than 100 years old, has completely preserved the lifestyle of the Bai merchants who were so prosperous at that time.

I didn't go in. There was a small courtyard outside that was under construction. It was considered a lively place in Xizhou.

There are several Western-style buildings in the back hall of the compound, which shows the avant-garde thinking of the Yan family at that time.

There are also several air-raid shelters next to these Western buildings. The artillery fire on the Sino-Myanmar border at that time also affected the direction of the war.

The prosperity of a hundred years ago has only these historical relics left today. Everything in the world is just like this, leaving only a sigh of regret for those who come after.

Unfortunately, I arrived a little late and the door was closed. Fortunately, I was able to push open the half-closed door, step over the high threshold, and see the winding paths in the outer courtyard. The towering eaves bear witness to the changes of history, solemn and majestic yet light and transparent.

The Yan family made their fortune by the ancient Tea-Horse Road, and Yan Zizhen invented Tuo tea and brick tea. They made more money by doing business outside than by making silver and jade wares locally, making the Yan family the richest in Xizhou and even western Yunnan.

It is said that it was built by the business wizard Yan Zizhen. It is a classic Bai-style building complex. Tickets are required to visit. The wood carvings in the Yan Family Courtyard use a variety of carving techniques. There are almost no identical patterns. Each one is lifelike and exquisite.

In this Chinese-style courtyard, there is also a small Western-style building, which tells of the acceptance of Western culture by the head of the Yan family at that time. All the building materials of the small building were shipped from Hong Kong.

First of all, I have to remind you that Yan's Residence is not Yan's Courtyard. Because Yan's Residence is located further out, it was confused, but the travel experience in Yan's Residence was not good. Later, I found that the architecture of Yan's Residence was very similar to Yan's Courtyard, but the architecture of Yan's Courtyard was more simple and regular. The ticket for Yan's Courtyard is also reasonable, 15 yuan after half price for students. I took other people's tour guides in the scenic spot and heard a lot of interesting knowledge about Yan's Courtyard. The Western-style buildings in Yan's Courtyard, the pine trees in the shape of the word "shou", the copper coin piles and vaults of Yan's family, the beauty windows upstairs, the study, the guest rooms and countless plaques are all worth visiting. I was also invited to drink tea in the tourist rest area, and it was specially added that it was free. I drank Fenghuaxueyue tea. The tea artist was very good, the introduction was very detailed, and there was no forced shopping (but we also bought tea). The tea was also very delicious, and the packaging of the tea was printed with the Yan's Courtyard Museum, which should be formal. Yan Family Courtyard is truly a representative of Bai ethnic minority dwellings in Xizhou Ancient Town. I think it is also a place that must be visited when visiting Xizhou Ancient Town.

It is an ancient courtyard worth visiting. It is best to find an interpreter so that you can have a better understanding of it.

Yan Family Courtyard is a representative of Bai ethnic minority dwellings. Tickets are required to visit. Yan Family Courtyard was built by Yan Zizhen, a famous Confucian businessman. When the founder Yan Zizhen passed away, the total assets owned by the Yan family were equivalent to more than 3 billion yuan today. The business legend of the Yan family and the business creed of honesty and trustworthiness are still talked about by Xizhou people. After accepting Western ideas, the Yan family also built a small Western-style building.

Some people don't like to visit these attractions that require tickets, thinking it's not worth it. I think since I'm here, it doesn't matter if I spend a few dozen bucks, because if it can be listed as an attraction, there must be a reason. There are quite a lot of tour groups, and we also took part in a tour guide~ The tour guide said that women in the past stayed in seclusion and did not go out. The round frames in the four corners of the upstairs are where they looked at men from upstairs, and if they liked someone, they would throw a ball of embroidery down.

You need to buy a ticket to enter the famous Yan Family Courtyard.

Walking into the tall and complex gate with upturned corners and flying eaves, you will see the courtyard of "three courtyards and one screen wall", with calligraphy and paintings on the screen wall, swaying flowers and trees, which is full of brilliance. Entering the hall is the courtyard of "four corners and five patios", with leaky corners and patios, which are connected in all directions, like a maze.

The architectural design is not special, but it is still worth seeing! Come to Xizhou and take a look! Just after entering the village, there is another place called Yan's Courtyard. Don't be fooled and go to the wrong place!

Xizhou Bai Nationality Residential Building Complex is located in Xizhou Town, Dali City, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It faces Erhai Lake to the east and Cangshan Mountain to the west. It is a famous historical and cultural town in the southwest border of China.

The area is picturesque and rich in products. The famous Butterfly Spring is located here, and the famous movie "Five Golden Flowers" was filmed here. The typical layout is the "three courtyards and one screen wall" and "four courtyards and five patios" enclosed courtyard.

Yan's Courtyard is located at No. 1, Fuchunli, Sifang Street, Xizhou Town Office. It was built in 1919 by Yan Zizhen, a famous national capitalist in Xizhou.

Yan Family Courtyard is located in Xizhou Town, Dali. It is a deep courtyard. Walking into the gate, you will see a courtyard with "three courtyards and one screen wall". After entering the hall, you will see a courtyard with "four courtyards and five patios". After a winding path, you will see another courtyard with "four courtyards and five patios" with a different world. In the deepest backyard stands a Western-style villa.

It is a good attraction that you may visit every time you go to Dali.

The Yan Family Courtyard, located in Xizhou Town, has a small entrance and a large courtyard, and has completely retained its original appearance.

The Yan family is a big business family that has been doing business for hundreds of years. They mainly deal in snowflake silver and tea. Now they are in decline and have started a tourism business. They have turned their house into a folk custom attraction. The package ticket is 95 yuan. First, the tour guide will take you around, and then you can visit on your own. There are shops selling tea and silverware inside. They are all the businesses left by the Yan family. They are not large in scale, and this brand is only sold in this ancestral house. The product quality is OK, but the price is higher than outside. After that, there are some singing and dancing and folk performances. The Bai girls sing and dance, and invite you to drink tea. You can feel it.

The second residence we visited was the Yan Family Courtyard. This is the home of the Yan family, a well-known business family on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road. It is a deep courtyard composed of many houses, with crisscrossing corridors and corridors. Every brick, tile, pillar and beam were preserved a hundred years ago. The complicated carved beams and painted buildings and the simple blue tiles and white walls are very grand. There are still many cultural relics and plaques in the courtyard, and Chiang Kai-shek also mentioned the words for this courtyard. Such a magnificent house shows the former glory of the Yan family and the brilliance and charm of the Bai people. In addition to appreciating the classic architecture of the Bai people, you can also experience the Bai three-course tea here. There is a small theater in the courtyard. After visiting the building, the tour guide took us to the small theater to watch the song and dance performance. During the performance, Jinhua brewed tea for everyone in front of the stage. The performance was quite satisfactory. Many actors held several positions. The ethnic minorities are indeed versatile. What is more interesting is the performance of the Bai people's "pinching the bride" and crying customs of marriage. The host very kindly invited us to go on stage to pinch the "bride", but we still didn't do it because we were gentle and kind. In the interval of the program, Miss Jinhua, who was making tea, served the audience one by one the three Bai teas. The three teas are bitter tea, sweet tea and aftertaste tea, which symbolize the bitterness of life before sweetness and aftertaste. Give a five-star praise to the sweet tea! Boil the tea with brown sugar water, and then sink the milk fan and walnut slices to the bottom of the tea, which is sweet but not greasy. The aftertaste tea is also very special. It contains honey, pepper and other condiments that I never thought could be used to make tea. Drink it while it is hot and it has all the sour, sweet, bitter and spicy flavors. While watching the performance, the tour guide was waiting for us at the door, and took us around the yard to visit and experience it. If you are interested in traditional Bai architecture, Yan's Courtyard is a worthwhile attraction.

Yan Family Courtyard is a traditional Bai residence. To put it simply, the houses you see when you visit the gardens before are all separate, but now they are connected. It is said that there is a three-course tea performance, but I didn't see it when I went there.

I signed up for a one-day tour, so the itinerary was quite tight. I only visited the Yan Family Courtyard and didn't take a close look at Xizhou. The wealthy families were quite shocking, and their wisdom was great.

I went to the Xizhou Yan Family Courtyard Museum today. It was really a great experience. Sitting in the courtyard of the small western-style building, it was very quiet. Thinking back to the past, Yan Zizhen already existed, but this building and history still exist. It quietly tells that period of history, those distant historical scenes. I didn't see Lao She's words in Yan Family Courtyard. Introducing Xizhou.

It's a rich mansion. You must go there with a guide.

In Xizhou Town, the courtyard is not very big, which is also a characteristic of the Bai ethnic group.

The Yan Family Courtyard in Xizhou, Dali adopts the traditional Bai architectural style of "three courtyards and one screen wall" and "four courtyards and five patios".

If you go to Xizhou, you must go to the Yan Family Courtyard. You can really feel the atmosphere of great men and history as soon as you step into the gate. Although the floor loft is old, it does not feel shaky. I especially like the carved doors and windows, the ancient atmosphere blows in your face, the strong flavor of ancient architecture, and the ancient beauty.

There is a tea art or something at the end of Yan Family Courtyard, which will make you mistakenly think it is a tea sales. No! I have been stupid once, and I don't want you to be stupid again. You can drink Bai ethnic group three-course tea for free there. Because we missed it, we had to go back to Dali Ancient City and spend 20 yuan to try it. By the way, the service of the ticket seller at the door is really bad. His face is stern and frowning, and he looks down on you. The student ticket is 18 yuan, and there is a beauty window inside? It is still nice to take pictures. My photo is 9.32M and cannot be uploaded for the time being

This is the most cultured merchant home I have ever seen.

Yan's Courtyard is on Sifang Street and is very easy to find. When you come to Yan's Courtyard, you must go upstairs to take a look at the layout and decoration of each room, feel the different Bai dwellings, and experience the feeling of a wealthy family's mansion.

Yan Family Courtyard was built by Yan Zizhen and his sons. Walking into the Yan Family Courtyard, the weathered walls make you realize the vicissitudes of time. Touring the entire courtyard makes you marvel at the grandeur and classicism of the Bai ethnic minority dwellings, and what is even more captivating is the deep "cultural" flavor. Now, this place has become a tourist attraction, with Bai ethnic costume performances, Bai ethnic three-course tea, and Bai ethnic wedding performances. Especially the three-course tea performance, it makes people feel the customs and customs of the Bai ethnic group.

The typical Bai residential building pattern of "three rooms and one screen wall", "four courtyards and five patios, and corner towers". The copper coins that symbolize "making a fortune every day" in the Yan Family Courtyard built by the founder of the "Yongchangxiang" business💰💰

Yan Family Courtyard is a typical Bai architectural style, and the Bai architecture is similar to the Hui style architecture. There is a small auditorium in the courtyard with about 200 seats, mainly for the three-course tea performance, of course, there are some other custom performances. It is a major tourist attraction in Xizhou Ancient Town.

The ticket price is 95 yuan, and the group purchase price is 70 yuan per person. There is nothing interesting but shopping inside. I feel like I was ripped off again.

It is a major tourist attraction in Xizhou Ancient Town. It is worth a visit.

After a round trip, I went to the Yan Family Courtyard. Most tourists were brought there by tour guides, but it didn't matter. I liked ancient houses. The Yan family was a wealthy family in Xizhou, with a lot of money. I looked at each room, and when I looked down from the upstairs, I found that the screen wall had a flying eaves.

Yan Family Courtyard is located in the center of Xizhou Ancient Town. The unique creativity and exquisite craftsmanship in building the courtyard are eye-catching. The various wood carvings in the courtyard are even more unique. If you look closely, you can find carefully carved birds, beasts, flowers, birds, fish and insects▼Yan Family Courtyard adopts the traditional courtyard layout of the Bai people, including two "three courtyards and one screen wall" and two "four-sided five patios"▼There is an auditorium in the Yan Family Courtyard that can accommodate one or two hundred people, and the Bai people's three-course tea song and dance performance is held here. The three-course tea is a traditional etiquette of the Bai people. The first tea is bitter in fragrance, so it is called "bitter tea" The second tea is sweet and delicious, so it is called "sweet tea" The third tea is a mixture of sweet, bitter and spicy, so it is called "aftertaste tea" The three teas can be summarized as "one bitter, two sweet, and three aftertastes" Life is also like this▼

Yan's Courtyard in Xizhou Town is a must-see attraction in Xizhou. It is a large courtyard with multiple courtyards connected together. Walking into the tall and complex gate with upturned corners and flying eaves, you will find a courtyard with "three courtyards and one screen wall", with paintings and calligraphy on the screen wall, and swaying flowers and trees, which is a pleasing sight.

The ticket to the Yan Family Courtyard Museum is 20 yuan, and you can finish the tour in about an hour. We went too early, and there were no other tourists inside, but after we came out, a large group of tourists bought tickets and entered. Fortunately, we were one step early.

The most luxurious courtyard in Xizhou Town is worth spending time to appreciate

There is a saying that "poor Dali, rich Xizhou". Xizhou has four major families - Yan's, Yang's, Dong's and Yin's. Yan's Courtyard is the first of the four major families. The Yan's mansion is a courtyard with "three courtyards and one screen wall". It is a representative building of Bai traditional folk houses. The brick carvings, wood carvings, stone carvings and clay sculptures are all extremely exquisite and strictly adhere to pure traditional techniques. The pattern layout is exquisite and the conception is ingenious. There are rarely repeated patterns. If you want to appreciate the architectural customs of the Bai nationality, Yan's Courtyard is one of the indispensable attractions.

It is the home of a local tyrant, really luxurious, and the architecture has Bai ethnic characteristics.

We carefully toured Dali's famous Yan Family Courtyard, and experienced the Bai ethnic minority residential style of "Three Courtyards and One Screen Wall" and "Four Halls and Five Courtyards". The decorative paintings in various parts of the courtyard reflect the unique beauty of local ethnic characteristics, and show off their extremely high beauty under the spring sunshine.

There are many large mansions owned by wealthy families, but this is the only one I have encountered that is so well preserved and not too commercialized.

The Yan Family Courtyard is well preserved. It would be even better if professional tour guides could be arranged to tell tourists the story of the Yan Family Courtyard and the rise and fall of the Yan family!

The most distinctive features are the three-course tea and the bride-stealing performance, which are quite interesting.

We stopped too much on the way. It was already past one when we arrived in Xizhou, and we hadn't even visited the Haishe Park. I didn't feel anything about the ancient town of Xizhou. It's just an ordinary town. This year, it's been a big construction site for tourism development. Maybe it will be better if we come back in a few years. I was too lazy to go into the Yan Family Courtyard. I quickly had lunch and tasted Xizhou Baba before continuing on my way.

When we came to Xizhou Ancient Town, the driver, Master Li, introduced that Yan's Courtyard is the most famous place here. So when we arrived at Xizhou Ancient Town, we walked and strolled, and came to a very exquisite courtyard, which is said to be Yan's Courtyard. Tickets are required, and there are performances. It is written as Yan's Houlu, and I don't quite understand what it means, so I just treat it as Yan's Courtyard. Because there is Yan's Restaurant here, you can visit Yan's Courtyard for free if you eat here, so we just solved lunch here and visited it by the way, but we were not allowed to watch the performance. After the visit, we continued to move forward and walked to a small square, only to find that there is another Yan's Courtyard here. The ticket is only 30 yuan. There are many tourists, and then I realized that something is wrong. The place where we ate before does not seem to be the real Yan's Courtyard. The previous one was called Xizhou Yan's Residence, and this one is the real Yan's Courtyard. Fortunately, we didn't spend the ticket before.

Yan Family Courtyard is a building with Bai characteristics. No matter how high-ranking the previous owner was, this house has now become a place for visiting, similar to a museum! ! I am always curious about where his descendants are now and why they can't continue to live here. Off topic, haha! ! ! In fact, I have visited some large houses and courtyards. This one is naturally unique because it is in Bai style and is owned by very wealthy businessmen. So seeing the life of wealthy people in ancient times can satisfy my curiosity. Especially seeing the sedan chair, the furnishings and bedding in the boudoir, it reminds me of the former glory here and how people lived in the past. I met a couple who came here to take wedding photos, which can be regarded as adding some joy to the old house! To be honest, the old house always gives people a gloomy feeling. Maybe it is because of the wooden doors, windows and furniture. The colors are very deep, and it always feels a bit depressing. This is solidified history, and everyone should understand it

It is recommended for those who like ethnic history and culture. It is a representative of Bai ethnic residence and was also the courtyard of a wealthy family at that time. The ticket is 30 yuan. It is just opposite the Sifang Street restaurant.

It is especially worth a visit. I booked a ticket online for 22 yuan. After entering, I listened to the tour guide's explanation (I must listen to the explanation!!! You can't understand it by yourself). The yard is very big, and the former owner was very awesome. I spent more than 20 yuan to see the most beautiful and meaningful house in Xizhou. I won't regret it.

I heard there are some buildings worth seeing, many of which have a certain history~ There are also many tourists~

It is not as grand as Zhang's Garden, but it is obvious that it was a family of scholars. Moreover, the people living there at that time were relatively short. The corridor on the second floor was also relatively low, and tall people had to bend over.

This is where the Yan family, the richest family in Xizhou, works and lives. It has three courtyards in total and is a typical Bai architecture that is worth a visit.

The most famous and Bai-style building complex in Xizhouli displays most of the characteristics of Bai dwellings.

Yan Family Courtyard is worth a visit, you can learn about the complete structure and style of a large Bai family. Maybe because of the entrance fee, there are few visitors. At first, we walked around by ourselves, and always felt that the layout was a bit messy. There was a small path inexplicably. Later, after listening to the tour guide's explanation, I realized that this courtyard is still very particular. The path is for guests to walk, bypassing the host's room and leading to the reception area. After listening, I felt enlightened. If possible, you should follow the tour guide, the experience is completely different.

Simple and neat, it complements the overall environment of Xizhou Town
