Arrive at Xizhou Ancient Town and step back into time. The bluestone-paved roads extend under your feet and the ancient stage stands quietly. With its upturned eaves, richly ornamented brackets, carved beams, and painted rafters, it fully displays the charm of Bai ethnic architecture. Choose a good angle and take pictures to capture these ancient moments.
Visit the Yan Family's Courtyard, which is a gem of Bai ethnic folk houses and perfectly showcases the layout of "Three Rooms with One Screen Wall" and "Four Courtyards with Five Skylights". The flowers, birds, fish, and insects carved on the wooden doors and windows, as well as the auspicious beasts on the stone railings, are all vivid.
Stepping into the inner courtyard, the traditional costumes and daily necessities displayed in the folk custom exhibitions quietly tell the past of the Bai ethnic group. Observe them and immerse yourself in the ocean of culture.
Walk to the rice fields near the Linden Centre. Different seasons bring different beautiful pictures. In spring and summer, the rice seedlings are lush, like green waves rolling; in autumn, the rice ears turn golden, just like a golden carpet.
Strolling along the ridges of the fields, the gentle breeze blows, and the fragrance of rice, grass, and soil blend together. In the distance, the Cangshan Mountain is covered with a layer of greenery, and nearby, the brook flows gently, making you feel extremely comfortable.
Step into the snack street of the ancient town, where the hustle and bustle of life can be felt. Find an old store and order the classic Xizhou Baba. The sweet one is filled with rose and red bean paste. The fragrant flower flavor blends with the sweet red bean paste, and the outer crust is baked until it becomes golden and crispy.
The salty one is filled with minced meat and scallions, giving off a savory aroma. Then pair it with a bowl of cool shrimp. The soft "shrimps" float in the icy sweet sugar water, melting in your mouth immediately and bringing a refreshing coolness, making your taste buds cheer.
