Xizhou Town — places to visit in Dali
Xizhou Town in Dali — view 2
Xizhou Town is a well-preserved ancient village on the shores of Erhai Lake, known for its traditional Bai architecture, with intricately carved wooden windows and courtyards adorned with flower gardens. Established during the Ming Dynasty, it showcases a blend of Han and Bai cultural elements, making it significant in understanding the region's history. Strolling through the narrow lanes, visitors can explore local markets and sample traditional foods like rice noodles and dairy products. The best time to visit is early morning when the town is quiet, and you can enjoy views of the surrounding mountains. Chenгири's Bai culture center offers insights into local customs.

    Seven days exploring Yunnan's ancient towns and stunning landscapes, including Jianshui, Yuanyang Rice Terraces, Dali, and Lijiang with immersive cultural experiences along the way.

    Bruce Tang, our consultant, was exceptional. I highly recommend Bruce. We completed a 12-day tour of Yunnan, including time in Guilin and Yangshuo. Bruce was quick to reply and offered great suggestions while we planned our itinerary, which featured several fantastic bullet train rides. Our driver was excellent; we always felt secure, and despite the language barrier, we communicated effectively. Each town we visited had a guide, with quality ranging from outstanding to excellent. I will definitely turn to Bruce for future trips to China and will recommend him to friends.Wrenander on the Seven-day Yunnan old towns and mountain scenery tour tour
