Dali Xizhou: Bai Poetry in Rice Fields and Flying Eaves

When the Erhai Ring Road is jammed with traffic, I escape to the embrace of Xizhou. In spring, the rice fields are a sea of green, and in fall, the wheat waves roll like golden tides. Bai mothers dry chili peppers on the corner buildings, and the dye vats ripple with the blue of Zhoucheng. "You see, time here breathes to the rhythm of the crops maturing." 🚗 Transportation · From the ancient city, take a minibus for CNY 8 or a carpool for CNY 20 to "Xizhou Sifang Street" · Rice field electric car: CNY 30/day (CNY 200 deposit)  📸 [Popular Guide - Seasonal Aesthetics] 1️⃣ Rice Field Road Blockbuster 🔸Time: July-August for green waves/October-November for golden seas, shoot before 9 am for an empty scene 🔸Location: Keli Zhuang Wheat Field Cafe, shoot from the second floor for a bird's-eye view 🔸Props: Straw bag + balloons (CNY 10 rental at stalls) 2️⃣ Xilinyuan Red Wall 🔸Outfit: Pure white long dress + straw hat, contrasting with the red wall and rice field 🔸Golden Hour: 1 hour before sunset, light and shadow as gentle as an oil painting 3️⃣ Craftsman Collection Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience 🔸Jia Ma woodblock printing + wool felt making, a must for families (CNY 88/set) 🔸Hidden Location: Second-floor wooden window of the workshop framing the rice field and Cangshan 🍜 Culinary Delights ▫️ Yang's Broken Crispy Baba: Sweet and salty combo for CNY 15, secret code "extra rose sauce" ▫️ Peso Farm Cafe: Drink dirty coffee in the middle of the rice field, capturing "coffee dancing with wheat waves" ✨ [Fang Qi-style Ending - Golden Quote] "When I left, the girl at the tie-dye workshop gave me a piece of scrap. She said, 'This cloth has been dyed by the clouds of Cangshan and soaked in the water of Erhai, but it leaves the most free patterns for imperfection.' True healing is not about seeking perfection, but allowing yourself to become the scraps of life between the rice fields and flying eaves."
