[Xizhou Ancient Town, Dali, China] Another time travel space in Dali

Xizhou Ancient Town is an area where the simple and calm traditional culture of the Bai people remains strong, different from Dali Ancient City.
Beautiful white-walled buildings, gates painted with Bagua patterns, and heavy wooden carved window grilles line the streets, allowing you to enjoy a leisurely stroll through the town.
There are fewer tourists than in the center of Dali, so it is also attractive that you can experience being part of local life.

👀 Highlights ✨
📸 You'll want to take your camera with you as you walk around!
The retro townscape is full of picturesque photo spots no matter where you take it!
Especially in the mornings and evenings, it is very fantastical, enveloped in soft light.
You can also feel a little adventurous when you enter the colorful houses, flower-decorated windows, and small alleys.
In April and May, the purple jacarandas blooming in abundance further enhance the ancient townscape.

🍴 Don't miss the local gourmet food!
Xizhou's specialty, "Xizhou Baba", is a Bai-style pancake made of chewy dough stuffed with onions, peanuts, meat, etc.
It's recommended to eat it fresh from the oven at a roadside stall!
In addition, there are local cafes and Bai restaurants scattered around, making it a great place for a gourmet stroll.

🪡Cultural experience!
In Xizhou, there are also workshops where you can experience Bai traditional embroidery and indigo dyeing (batik).
It will be a memorable experience to create a one-of-a-kind item while learning from the locals.

💰Admission fee: Generally free to walk around town. Additional fees apply depending on the facility
🕰️Opening hours: Open all year round (tourist facilities are mainly open from 9:00 to 18:00)
📍Access: About 40 minutes by car from the center of Dali

There's more to Dali than just the ancient castle! Experience the Bai traditions and relaxed time at Xizhou Ancient Town☺️
