Xizhou Ancient Town is an ancient town with a low degree of commercialization around the Bohai Sea in Dali. You can see the original Bai people's houses and understand Bai culture. In addition, the corner building is also a local feature, and the overall feeling is good.
On the periphery of Xizhou Ancient Town, there is a large green field. It is a shooting place for net reds. Feel the strong pastoral atmosphere in the country fields. It is a leisure time worth staying in Xizhou Ancient Town. Take photos here, drink a cup of afternoon tea, bask in the warm sun, and empty everything. In addition, there are old buildings at the corner of the net red nearby, pay attention to look up.
The ancient town is the same, but Xizhou's slow pace is really comfortable. Look at the wind and wheat waves, look at the rapeseed fields, all the way is different scenery, Xizhou-rose stuffing is more classic. Just buy one, no need to try other.
Recently, the very hot Xizhou ancient town, finally came to punch in. There are many people during the day and tourists pile up. It is not recommended. Because I stayed in the ancient town for one night, the night is very quiet. I get up early to watch the sunrise in the wheat field. The scenery is so beautiful, I can experience the beauty of Xizhou Ancient Town, quiet and deep beauty!
Sifang Street is the intersection of four main streets in Xizhou, the center of the ancient town, and the most prosperous place in the local area. The archway in the picture is called "the title square", which is engraved with the names of local people above the people of each dynasty. The four characters "light forward and inspiration behind" inspire future generations to study diligently. Unfortunately, this exquisite archway was later demolished, and the archway on Sifang Street is now newly built in recent years. The most worthwhile humanistic building in Xizhou Yanjia Courtyard is located on Sifang Street, the most prosperous place in Xizhou Ancient Town. Even Dali Food Zongchuanfang authentic Xizhouxuan store is also in Sifang Street. There is Sifang Street in the ancient city of Dukezong in Shangri-La, and there are Sifang Street in Baisha Ancient Town, Shuhe Ancient Town, and Dayan Ancient Town (Lijiang Ancient City). These ancient towns with Sifang Street are the gathering places of Tibetans, Naxi and Bai people, although the ethnic groups are different, but there is still a common place in the planning and construction of the town.
Yes, it is recommended, you can go to Yanjia Courtyard, there is an explanation
Justice Gate is the west gate of Xizhou Ancient Town. From here, it is the old street of the ancient town.
