Fengyangyi 0 Yuan Check-in for Red Bean's Bouquet Photo | Hidden Courtyard Sharing

Fengyangyi is not just about Youfeng Courtyard; it’s truly a paradise for "courtyard enthusiasts"! 🏡
As the filming location of "To the Windy Place," the home of Xu Hongdou and Xie Zhiyao is right here. I didn’t pay to enter the courtyard for shooting, yet I still got the same relaxed vibe. 💐 This ancient village on the Tea Horse Road is quieter, more rustic, and more flavorful than you might imagine!
You need to book in advance to enter Youfeng Courtyard, costing 168 yuan per person, charged per seat. Unless you’re a hardcore fan, it’s a bit pricey. Just wandering around the village, you’ll find many windows and doorways where shop owners thoughtfully prepare beautiful hand-held bouquets just for photos! The props are all set up for you, and every snap feels like a scene from a drama! I found a beautiful little window at the Absurd Art Museum.
The courtyards here are close to each other, all lush with vegetation, with flowers and plants growing freely. The stone-paved paths wind quietly, so healing!
The film crew really knows how to pick locations! Every step reveals a new scene, rustic yet full of life.
The right way to enjoy it: strongly recommend finding a courtyard you like, sitting down for a cup of tea, trying Bai ethnic tie-dye or making handmade pottery and flower cakes, encountering a rain shower, then waiting for the wind to come and letting time truly slow down.
A pleasant surprise: if you get hungry while wandering, not far below the "Eye of Phoenix" viewing platform, on the left side uphill from the parking lot, the first house with many pictures of dishes on the wall is a square courtyard where I discovered an authentic Bai cuisine restaurant! The taste is genuine, and the portions are huge! Super generous!
Summary [Chin]
Fengyangyi is all about "wandering"! Wear comfortable shoes and stroll slowly. You can also ride a horse.
Youfeng Courtyard charges an entrance fee, but the village itself is full of scenery everywhere, and the free areas are enough to take beautiful photos and feel the atmosphere.
Drinking tea or doing crafts in the courtyard is worth it; paying for the experience is totally fine.
There are parking lots for both electric and motor vehicles at the village entrance, with charging available. It’s recommended to rent an electric scooter in rainy season Dali to avoid the hassle of no taxis and to shelter from wind, rain, and sun.
