An aesthetic landmark at the heart of the ancient city, turning Bai ethnic customs and artistic romance into everyday life

Within the texture of Dali Ancient City, Boxinyunshe MCA is a place where the "life you yearn for" takes shape. It uses Bai architecture as its framework and artistic aesthetics as its soul, creating an enchanting aesthetic sanctuary between the bustling ancient city and the serene Cangshan Mountains and Erhai Lake. Every glance is a celebration for detail lovers✨

🏯 Architecture: A mortise-and-tenon fusion of tradition and modernity
The buildings you see are a brilliant dialogue between the wisdom of Bai dwellings and modern design. The rustic gray-tiled eaves contrast sharply with the transparency of glass balconies, while the reddish-brown wooden lattices, arranged like strings on a musical instrument, play a rhythmic melody in the light and shadow🎵 The rough texture of the old stone walls at the corners complements the delicate white walls perfectly. Even the window frames hide the designer’s cleverness—traditional forms infused with modern comfort considerations. Firecracker flowers climb freely on the walls, their orange-red clusters leaping like flames, woven with green vines into a natural floral waterfall🌺 Underfoot are the ancient city’s bluestone slabs, and above is Boxinyunshe’s elegant facade. This “stepping into a painting” transition is exactly what makes it so captivating.

🏮 Details: Hiding art in every corner
Inside, bamboo woven lampshades rest on deadwood frames, casting a warm yellow glow by the window that interestingly echoes the colorful lanterns outside in the ancient city🏮 Those lanterns, bright yellow or crimson, are adorned with elegant floral patterns and hang among branches, blending the city’s lively atmosphere with an artistic tone. Every snap feels like a “Chinese aesthetic masterpiece.” Every ornament in the public areas seems to tell a story: the natural shapes of root carvings, the rustic texture of pottery, the ink fragrance of books… They are not cold decorations but living art that invites you to pause and quietly appreciate🎨 Sitting in such a space, sipping tea and watching light and shadow dance on the wooden lattices, time softens and slows down.

🌿 Atmosphere: A secluded oasis in the ancient city
Located in the heart of the ancient city, yet enjoying a private tranquility. The courtyard’s greenery coexists with the architecture, branches gently brushing the balcony as if greeting guests🌳 Awakened by birdsong in the morning, you can see the silhouette of Cangshan Mountains through the window; in the evening, stroll through the courtyard and watch the lanterns light up one by one, while the ancient city’s hustle and bustle fades into a distant background sound. Every inch of this space interprets the true meaning of “Boxin”—letting the heart anchor in the embrace of art and nature, making travel more than just checking off sights, but an immersive aesthetic experience.

At Boxinyunshe MCA, you get more than just a room—you gain a Dali memory of “living within art.” Come here and let the ancient city’s breeze carry you between tradition and modernity, filling every breath with the fragrance of art🌙
