Many people think of Dali, the first thing that comes to mind is the romantic scenery of Cangshan Mountain in Erhai Lake and the quaint romance of the ancient city of Dali. Yes, Dali is a place with many ancient towns, such as Dali ancient town and Shuanglang ancient town, which all contain Dali's culture and history and are full of infinite romantic customs. However, there is an ancient town in go to dali, which is more worth visiting than Dali. It has been hidden for thousands of years, ancient and mysterious, and deja vu. This is the ancient town of Xizhou.

Xizhou Ancient Town is a town in Dali City, Yunnan Province, located in the north of Dali City. Cangshan Mountain in the west and Erhai Lake in the east are famous historical and cultural towns in Yunnan Province. Known as "Dali City" in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it is one of the main birthplaces of Dali Bai culture with a history of 1000 years. There are the best preserved and most Bai folk houses so far. No wonder some people say that you have never been to Xizhou ancient town, so don't say that you have been to Dali.

Xizhou ancient town in August is full of flowers, and there are not many tourists here. As soon as I arrived at the town entrance, I saw a beautifully decorated carriage passing by. You can choose to walk to appreciate the local customs here, or you can take a carriage and easily walk around every street here. But we still chose to stop and go, and the rhythm of walking and seeing is actually more suitable for such a beautiful ancient town.

It is understood that the Western Zhou Dynasty became a town around BC, and later gradually became an important gathering place for Bai people. Xizhou merchants, also known as "Xizhou Gang", deal in medicinal materials, cloth, tea and so on, which is the embryonic period of Bai national capitalism. They rode horses and traveled all over the country with one foot.

Therefore, when you come to Xizhou ancient town, all kinds of shops all over the streets are enough to attract your attention. There are silversmiths who inherit the old craftsmanship of their ancestors, as well as fashion shops that integrate modern elements. A bracelet and a pair of earrings are all inlaid with rich Bai characteristics. Of course, when you come to Dali, the most distinctive products are all related to roses, not to mention rose cakes. There are rose sauce and rose sorbet, and all kinds of ornaments made of roses, which are simply beautiful.

Strolling through Xizhou ancient town, the most attractive thing is the Bai ancient buildings here. Many years ago, Bai people liked to build their own homes while doing business. Buildings representing the characteristics of Bai nationality stand on the shore of Erhai Lake, which has a history of thousands of years. All buildings strictly follow the unified style and reflect local characteristics. White walls and blue tiles, simple and elegant, are typical large-scale residential architecture museums from a distance.

These houses are not only beautifully shaped, but also beautifully decorated in details. The upturned cornices and colorful decorations show that the builders are very careful and earnest.

Now it seems that many walls are mottled and the patterns are gradually dim, but it does not affect its beauty at all. This fashion with a sense of the times is an element lacking in modern society. Many tourists like to take photos here as a souvenir, and also like to stop for a moment and imagine that there is a moment to integrate into the long river of history.

All kinds of handicrafts in the alley are ladies' favorite, including beautiful red skirts, chic headscarves, silver ornaments and comfortable embroidered shoes. These tie-dyed products can be seen everywhere, and their colors are natural and vivid. Tie-dyeing process of Bai nationality is an ancient textile dyeing process in China. Cotton cloth and linen cloth impregnated with natural plant dyes are bright in color, not easy to fade, and closer to the skin, which can be called real green and healthy products.

Architecture is a silent language, but the creatures in the ancient town are dancing notes. The egrets that sometimes fly in the blue sky and sometimes perch on the branches seem to tell us that this is also their happy and stable home. From the eyes of egrets, the ancient town is surrounded by endless rice fields.

When the breeze blows, they wave warm arms and welcome everyone who is predestined friends. Walking on the ridge of the field, intoxicated by the eyeful of green oil, cool with a hint of harvest joy. Pay attention to street lamp photography and see the world together.
