Xizhou Days: A Journey into Yunnan’s Hidden Heritage

Traditional Bai Architecture

One of Xizhou's most striking features is its well-preserved Bai-style architecture. Many buildings date back to the Qing Dynasty (1644–1912) and reflect the Bai people's craftsmanship and aesthetics.

Typical houses feature:

Whitewashed walls

Intricate wood carvings

Courtyards surrounded by three buildings and one wall (“三坊一照壁” layout)

Black-tiled roofs and stone foundations
