A Step Back in Time

#yunnanspots
Xizhou Ancient Town is a hidden gem that offers a truly authentic glimpse into the rich history and culture of the Bai ethnic minority. Unlike some of the more bustling towns in the area, Xizhou maintains a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The town is a living museum of stunning Bai architecture, with well-preserved homes that feature intricate carvings, painted rafters, and the classic "three rooms and one screen wall" layout. A stroll through the bluestone-paved streets feels like a step back in time. We spent hours simply admiring the beautiful courtyards and soaking in the tranquil ambiance. It's the perfect place for travelers who want to experience genuine local life away from the typical tourist crowds.
