A must-visit one-day trip to Xizhou Ancient Town in Dali! Hop on an electric scooter and cruise through the idyllic scenery by Erhai Lake—here's your perfect blend of culture and leisure itinerary. 🚲 Itinerary: Start your morning from Dali Ancient Town, rent an e-scooter (¥50-80/day), and ride north along the West Ring Road. You'll pass endless rapeseed flower fields and Bai ethnic villages, reaching Xizhou Ancient Town in about 1.5 hours! 🟢 First Stop: Xizhou Ancient Town This well-preserved thousand-year-old Bai ethnic town is full of charm! Stroll along cobblestone streets flanked by traditional Bai residences with "three rooms and one screen wall" architecture. Don't miss the iconic Corner Tower and Yan Family Compound. The town is dotted with handicraft shops selling silver jewelry, tie-dye fabrics, and other unique souvenirs. 🟡 Second Stop: Jiangzhiji Folk Art Center Try the super fun tie-dye workshop here (¥80-120/person)! Instructors will guide you step-by-step to create your own blue-and-white tie-dye handkerchief—a meaningful handmade souvenir to take home. 🔵 Third Stop: Xizhou Wheat Fields Navigate to "Xilinyuan" to find this Instagram-famous spot! Best visited at 4-5 PM when golden wheat waves contrast beautifully with traditional Bai houses in the background. Remember not to step on the crops while taking photos. 🍜 Food Recommendations: Don't miss Xizhou baba (¥10/piece) and cold chicken rice noodles! We recommend "Yangji Posu Baba" (a 30-year-old shop) and "Jialing Coffee"—the latter's second-floor terrace offers panoramic town views. ✨ Tips: 1. Choose e-scooters with 80km+ battery range and check vehicle condition 2. Wear comfortable shoes as some areas require walking 3. Sun protection is crucial—Dali's UV rays are intense (sunglasses/scarf essential) 4. Expect photo spot queues during peak seasons—visit off-peak if possible
