Here, the four seasons are particularly distinct, with rapeseed flowers everywhere in spring, wheat waves covering the sky in summer, rice fields like a golden fairy tale in autumn, and cherry blossoms filling the ancient town in winter... Xizhou is the 'Little Cambridge' described by Lao She, gentle and refined; it is also the residence of the nobility of the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom, affluent and full... It has drawn a profound heritage from the long river of history, combined with nature's palette, beauty that is calm and enduring! Here, I finally understood that sentence by Tao Yuanming: 'Picking chrysanthemums beneath the eastern fence, leisurely I see the southern mountain.' To retreat here is to truly live! If you can only go to one place in Dali, I would definitely recommend Xizhou Ancient Town... 🚗Travel time: About 30 minutes from Dali Ancient Town, you can get there by taxi~ 💰Admission: 0 ✅Xizhou photo spots: 🔸Jiangzhi Collection: A retro district from the 90s, with many interesting small shops, suitable for taking retro photos 🔸The Windy Tree: The tree where Xu Hongdou gently shed tears 🔸Hai She Park: Very much like a seaside city park, very romantic, but reservation is required and limited to 200 people 🔸Zhonghe Yi Wheat Field: Here, spring and summer are continuous wheat fields, autumn is golden rice fields, just like the scenes from Miyazaki's animations, and the key is that there are few people~ 🔸The Red Wall: Very beautiful for photos, but there are too many people 🔸Colorful Rapeseed Flowers: Near Xizhou, full of spring atmosphere, navigate to Nanzhuang Jintaiyang Kindergarten 🏠Accommodation: Yixi Pastoral Hotel A very design-oriented hotel, with vast farmland outside the window, a green expanse~ The light is really great, sunbathing is so comfortable, and of course, it's also good for taking photos! The rooms are few, very quiet, with complete facilities, delicious meals, very suitable for a quiet vacation! 🥘Xizhou delicacies: 🔸Shen Kiln Pottery's Pu'er tea ice cream, rich in tea flavor, melts in your mouth, super delicious 🔸Pang Tao Bread is also good, it's an unmanned sale 🔸Siqingliang Cottage's popsicles are rich and creamy 🔸For coffee, I like honey coffee and Tian coffee, there are many coffee shops in Xizhou, all with good products~ 🔸Others include Mo Shang Garden, Yinmi...
