Xizhou Town Vibes🌳

Bliss out in Dali—Xizhou Ancient Town is where old-world vibes meet epic Yunnan nature 🌞🏯. The highlight? Wandering beneath that gorgeous Archway in the heart of the town, framed by classic Chinese architecture and wild splashes of flowers. Even the weather did a fun dance—cloudy one minute, sunny the next—so every stroll felt different. There’s plenty of lush greenery, stone paths, and if you’re lucky, you’ll spot horses roaming the wetlands nearby! 🐴

Must-See in Xizhou:
The Archway (inside the old town, open all day): it’s the perfect Insta spot, especially with the unique mix of trees and flowers around. Pro tip: Morning visits are best for photos—the light’s soft and there are fewer crowds!

What to expect: The town itself is super walkable, with classic Chinese facades, homey cafés, and friendly locals always up for a chat. The vibe? Chill, yet buzzing with street life—great for people-watching or sketching out travel ideas on your phone. If you’re into nature, explore the nearby wetlands for a close-up look at native flowers and local horses grazing.

Getting around is a breeze. Rent a bike or hop on local minibuses from central Dali; the ride out to Xizhou takes around 40 minutes. Wear comfy shoes—the stone streets can get slippery when it rains!

Food hack: Try baba, Xizhou’s signature pancake-style bread, sold fresh at stalls all around. Bring cash—some spots don’t take cards. For a coffee break, look for tiny local cafés tucked inside courtyards.

Pack layers—the weather flips fast! And don’t forget sunscreen, even if clouds roll in.
