Xizhou Ancient Town Guide Xizhou Transportation: Self-driving: about half an hour. (Dali Ancient Town - Xizhou Ancient Town) Bus: Take a bus from Cangshan Gate in Dali Ancient Town to Zhengyi Gate in Xizhou, 20 yuan per person. ◆Minibus: After crossing the road at Sanyue Street, you will see a small minibus. It costs about 7 yuan per person to get to Xizhou. The bus will depart when all the passengers are there. However, it does not go directly to the ancient town. The get-off point is one kilometer away from the ancient town. Taxi: From Dali Ancient Town to Zhengyi Gate, Gaode may cost 50 to 60 yuan. Riding a shared tram: Riding around Erhai Lake for about an hour, but you still can't reach your destination. You will meet a group of uncles and aunts who ask if you want to go to Xizhou Ancient Town, and then you can return the bike. Then take their small tricycle to the ancient town. It is currently 10 yuan per person, and you can bargain to 15 yuan per 2 people. Check-in place Yan Family Courtyard Museum (ticket price 18 yuan, opening hours: 8:30-18:00) ◆ Ancient Banyan Tree This is the ancient tree where Liu Yifei cried in the TV series "Where the Wind Goes". It is outside the Xizhou Ancient Town. Navigate to "Hetianli Boutique Homestay" and walk for about ten minutes. Corner Building: There are many tourists passing by. There is nothing interesting to photograph in the rice fields of Xizhou in January. Xizhou also has very popular check-in walls with words such as "Xizhou" and "Huanxizhizhou". "Xizhou" (navigation "Dong Jinhanyuan", there are two big characters "Xizhou" on the white wall) "Huanxizhizhou" (right next to the "Xizhou" wall) "Xi Shang·Guzidi" wall (navigation "Xi Shang·Guzidi" this store) Daxizhizhou (navigation "Xi Ba Wan") Xizhou sweetheart (navigation "Four Eyes Cheese") Food: Xizhou Posu Baba (sweet and salty, I think the hot sweet one tastes better, 10 yuan/piece) Shihuaji Flower Cake (this flower cake is amazing, the filling is not very sweet, there are original flavors, matcha, purple sweet potato, 4 yuan/piece, 10 yuan/3 pieces) I think it tastes much better than Jiahua and Pan Xiangji. Ah Maying pea flour, it is said to be delicious, but it was closed on the day I went Zhuozhuo flavor snacks (very popular, you won’t go wrong with anything you order) The fried small fish and grilled milk fan at the roadside stalls are also worth a try. The flavor of ice cream and milk tea is the same across the country, haha. Sifang Street Restaurant (Yunnan cuisine)

Xizhou Ancient Town is a place worth visiting several times. At the northern end of the west line of Erhai Lake, it takes about half an hour to get there by taxi from Dali Ancient City. Zhuanjiao Building, Sifang Street, paddy fields and red walls are famous check-in points. This time I only hurriedly visited a few places, ate Xizhou Baba, but did not take a good look at the whole picture of the ancient town. Next time I have the opportunity, I want to spend a day visiting again.
