Xizhou in Autumn|Encounter the Gentleness of Dali in the Golden Waves of Wheat

When the autumn breeze sweeps through Xizhou, the boundless rice fields ripple into a golden sea. This is the filming location of the movie "To the Windy Place" and a healing paradise to escape the hustle and bustle. 🌾 Best Viewing Guide From September to November, the wheat ears are bathed in the color of the sunset. The "magic hours" at 8 AM and after 4:30 PM cast a soft light that filters over the wheat fields. It is recommended to visit Keli Village (navigate to "Hetianli Homestay"), where the two-kilometer stretch of wheat waves frames with Cangshan Mountain; or lean against the yellow walls of Xilinyuan, letting your white skirt dance with the golden wheat fields. Want a panoramic view? The terrace of Fangfei Café lets you take in the entire golden landscape. 📝 Thoughtful Tips Please walk along the ridges and avoid stepping on the wheat fields—share the gifts of this land with the farmers. Remember to bring mosquito repellent, as mosquitoes are quite active in the evening. Before heading back, don’t forget to try a bite of the crispy Xizhou Baba from Suxiangyuan, where the blend of salty and sweet crispiness hides the most authentic Bai ethnic flavor. Take advantage of the rich autumn colors and come to Xizhou. Amid the rustling wheat waves, rediscover the touching connection with the land. 【Homestay Names】: Kongxiang Meisu | Kongxiang Dongsheng | Kongxiang Weiwen Shan 【Homestay Addresses】: No. 65 Guangwu Road | No. 87 Pingdeng Road | No. 384 Wenxian Road 💰Homestay Prices: Prices vary by location, please inquire 🏖️Hotel Environment: Small but well-equipped.

Three Pagodas Reflection Park

A Serene Escape at Dali’s Three Pagodas Reflection Park 🏯🌞🌳 Step into tranquility at Dali’s iconic Three Pagodas Reflection Park, where centuries-old Chinese architecture meets calm nature vibes! The park’s scenic layout and famed pagoda reflections set the stage for both cultural discovery and chill-out moments. 🧭 Recommended Route & Must-Do’s: Begin at the south side entrance for beautiful early afternoon sunlight—14:00 is perfect for those seeking quiet. Stroll past the ancient pagodas and take your time winding through peaceful landscapes dotted with other trees and contemporary pavilions. Be sure to circle to the lakeside for those classic “mirror” views of the pagodas against a sunny sky. 📸 Top Photo Spots: - Reflection Lake: Capture the Three Pagodas standing tall over the glassy water—absolute insta-worthy, especially with the late-day golden light! - Close-up Architecture Shots: The ornate details on the pagodas pop best on bright days. Frame your shots with nearby tree branches for layered depth. - Nature-Vision Corners: Play with fresh angles where modern structures peek out from lush greenery. 💡 Visiting Tips: - It’s blissfully quiet around 2 PM, so plan for a peaceful walk—midday crowds are minimal! - Bring a hat and sunscreen. Sunny afternoons can get warm with little shade as you explore. - Wear comfy shoes to enjoy all the winding paths. ⚠️ Precautions: Be mindful near lakeside edges: surfaces can be slippery. The best pagoda photos are found lakeside, so keep your footing! #Dali #ThreePagodas #ChineseArchitecture #CultureTrip #TravelChina

Coming back to Xizhou, Dali again, I accidentally stayed at this guesthouse. At the time, I thought the name "Qingbai" sounded very cozy, and it turned out to be just as expected after checking in.
