Must-Visit: Xizhou Ancient Town 🌾 Be the Guardian of the Wheat Fields!

#chinatravel In Dali, there’s a charming literary town where spring and summer bring golden waves of wheat dancing in the breeze — Xizhou Ancient Town. People say, “Here, when the wind brushes the wheat fields, even the air smells like freedom.” It’s the perfect place to feel like a manga character for a day, with soft winds, wide open skies, and endless golden fields. 📍Getting There From Dali Old Town to Xizhou: • 🚌 By minibus: 8 RMB/person from Cangshan Gate (30 mins) • 🛵 By electric scooter: 1 hour along Huanhai West Road, with stunning views of Erhai Lake ⚠️ Avoid unlicensed roadside cars — they may take you to forced shopping spots. 🌾Golden Wheat Field Photo Spot • Keli Village Wheat Fields (Navigate to: “Hetianli Guesthouse”) ✨ Quietest spot, 2km of uninterrupted golden fields! 📸 Photo tip: Spread your arms into the wind or toss your hat for that perfect action shot! #travel #trip #china #staycation #thingstodo #myitinerary

Dali China, a magical place. #travel Day 1: Arrival from the Dali airport, get to the hotel. it's about 50mins journey, as we arrived at rush hour. Had a walk in Dali Old town. Day 2: Cable car to go to Cangshan. then took a taxi to ShuangLang old town, then to Xingsheng Bridge. Day 3: Went to XiZhou old Town. [Must-Visit Attractions] 1.Dali Old Town, the night view is beautiful, you see lots of people. there are millions of shops you can go in and check out local delicacies or buying little gifts for friends and family. 2. Cangshan Mountain, there are several roots to go up. we tried XiMaTan cable car, there are two stages to go up. the view is magnificent. you can take Erhai to full view. once you change to the 2nd stage, you are almost all in the cloud, it's magical. once you are at the end of the cable car journey, you can still walk to XiMaTan (there are stairs leading to it, suggest to have oxygen bottles with you, in case you are feeling not too well, as it's almost 4000meters above sea level. When coming down, we decided to walk to gantong Cable car, which is about 2 hours walk down. you don't need to buy tickets again for Gantong cable car, as this is covered in your ticket. 3. ShuangLang Old Town. LongKan MaTou & Eco corridor. Xingsheng Bridge. Make sure you are covered or make sure to put sun cream on, you can get tanned really easily since Dali is in a high altitude. The view in eco-corridor was beautiful, cars or motorcycles are not allowed to get in, there are bicycles or low speed scooters are available for renting. On one side, there are lots of Bai ethnic buildings, hotels, all nicely decorated with plants, flowers. on the other side, it's ErHai, the beautiful lake. there are coffee shops nearby, lots of photogenic shops. ShuangLang is another highlight, really nice views and food available in your fingers tips. rose cake is a local delicacies, you can find lots of shops are selling it. Restaurants, must try YunHeYi restaurant, it's on a hill, the views are just amazing.
