Xizhou Ancient Town in Dali cured the anxiety of life

Xizhou Ancient Town in Dali is not very large, and with proper planning, you can efficiently explore it in just half a day. Based on my personal experience visiting Xizhou this year, I have summarized the following guide: √Tour route: Enter through Xizhou's Justice Gate, visit the Yan Family Courtyard—Corner Tower—Wheat Fields—Hai She Park. We didn't visit Hai She Park due to time constraints. What to see in Xizhou Ancient Town? 1 Bai ethnic architecture: Xizhou is an important town inhabited by the Bai people, so it preserves many Bai ethnic residential buildings: the unique house structure of 'Three Rooms and a Wall Screen', 'Four Sides and Five Courtyards', the carved beams and painted rafters, overlapping brackets, and upturned eaves with colorful decorations, allowing you to enjoy them all at once. The popular photo spot, Corner Tower. In addition, not to be missed are: Yan Family Courtyard Museum (the mansion of a local wealthy merchant over 100 years ago) Ticket price: 18 yuan Opening hours: 8:30-18:00 If you walk past the Corner Tower for a bit, you will suddenly find yourself in open space, with large fields of wheat swaying in the wind: March to May is wheat season: early March for rapeseed flowers, April for green expanses. June to October is rice season: by mid-September, it turns golden. I went in October, so I saw the rice fields.
