Description
Discover the charm of Xizhou Ancient Town and Bai ethnic culture on a guided tour from Dali. Visit the Yan Family's Courtyard, stroll through rice fields, and taste the classic Xizhou Baba. Walk to the rice fields near the Linden Centre. Different seasons bring different beautiful pictures. In spring and summer, the rice seedlings are lush, like green waves rolling; in autumn, the rice ears turn golden, just like a golden carpet. Strolling along the ridges of the fields, the gentle breeze blows, and the fragrance of rice, grass, and soil blend together. In the distance, the Cangshan Mountain is covered with a layer of greenery, and nearby, the brook flows gently, making you feel extremely comfortable. Step into the snack street of the ancient town, where the hustle and bustle of life can be felt. Find an old store and order the classic Xizhou Baba.

Itinerary
Arrive at Xizhou Ancient Town and step back into time. The bluestone-paved roads extend under your feet and the ancient stage stands quietly. With its upturned eaves, richly ornamented brackets, carved beams, and painted rafters, it fully displays the charm of Bai ethnic architecture. Choose a good angle and take pictures to capture these ancient moments.
Visit the Yan Family's Courtyard, which is a gem of Bai ethnic folk houses and perfectly showcases the layout of "Three Rooms with One Screen Wall" and "Four Courtyards with Five Skylights". The flowers, birds, fish, and insects carved on the wooden doors and windows, as well as the auspicious beasts on the stone railings, are all vivid.
Take a in-depth stroll through Dali Ancient City on this half-day tour. Explore the ancient charm of Bai ethnic architecture, climb the Wuhua Tower overlooking the beauty of the ancient city, savor the blend of Chinese and Western cultures on Foreigners' Street, and enjoy the classic Bai ethnic cuisine to please your taste buds.
