2025 Xizhou Town Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

When traveling to Dali, skip the old town and head straight to Xizhou Old Town for a better experience. When in Dali I stopped by both towns, Dali Old Town was swarming with people and very touristic, full of the typical souvenir shops and drink shops you find everywhere. We left pretty quickly. In contrast Xizhou was a much prettier and more diverse town. There are plenty of nice restaurant and artisan crafts. It's less busy and more relaxed than the old town. A lovely place to stay! #summervacation#yunnan#celebratewithtrip#urbanexplorer#tripblazers

Yunnan is famous for its clouds which makes for very beautiful sunsets. Make it part of your Yunnan itinerary to watch the sunset each evening. Make sure you're on the correct side of the lake to enjoy the sunset. We made our way over to Xizhou Old Town to get the best view of the sunset. Interesting buildings, loads of restaurants and wide open rice fields makes this a great place to enjoy the sunset. #tripblazers #passionpassport#awesomepic#yunnan#summervacation

#chinatrip Xizhou Ancient Town is where history and culture blend seamlessly. Walking through the grand stone gates, I felt like stepping into a living museum. The Bai-style architecture stood proud, with intricate carvings and vibrant paintings, offering a glimpse into the past. The quiet courtyards and charming bridges added a serene touch to the town. What stood out most were the colorful displays of traditional Bai clothing and tie-dye crafts. The vivid blues and natural designs reflected the artistry of the locals, creating an unforgettable cultural experience. For those seeking a journey into history with a dash of creativity, Xizhou is a must-visit. 📍Don’t miss: The handcrafted tie-dye workshops and authentic Bai cuisine served in quaint eateries. 🌟Tip: Arrive early to explore the town in peace before it gets busy.

#chinatrip Beauty of Dali, Yunnan province A less crowded small village compare to Dali ancient town - known as Xi Zhou. Very comfy to enjoy the quiet and peaceful ambience right here. Everyday i just walked around in the small town, to the coffee shop to spend few hours chit chat with local people. Just do nothing and wandering around, looking at the beauty ancient buildings, high mountains probably covered with snow now. Ps. There’s a special morning market that’s for locals and bet you will be surprised with their local goods, fruits, delights, clothes and etc. A place that definitely worth to come back, spend time and relax your mind. Far away from gadgets, work and crowds. Plus you don’t need to spend a-lot on accommodation, food right here. #travel #dali #xizhou #china

This is Xizhou, a charming town nestled not too far from the bustling streets of Dali Ancient City—where history and serenity meet. From breathtaking scenery to mouthwatering dishes, Xizhou offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and culinary delights. You can get here by taking a sightseeing bus from Dali Ancient City, or rent a scooter from the famous S-curve! Would recommend!

📍Address: Dali, Dali City, China 671004 📍Key Points Xizhou is a smaller scale ancient village compared to Dali Ancient Town. But it's really small yet substantial! The village reflected in the pond at the entrance is so beautiful that you'll say 'wow' as you enter. There are plenty of snacks and cafes, so you can easily have a meal, and I tried the Xizhou Baba, which is a local specialty of Xizhou! It's really a pretty place everywhere, so I highly recommend you visit. 📍Average Price per Person: Free admission 📍Rating: 4/5
