Yishala Ethnic Culture Village

New Year's Self-Driving Travelogue in Panxi Region The red houses in the mountains attracted us, and the ordinary farming scenes outside the villages made us want to delve deeper into Yisala. — Travel notes by Caicaijuan'er In the travel memories of Panzhihua, Yisala Ethnic Village is a bright spot. Although it belongs to Renhe District, it is a village hidden in the mountains, not known by many tourists. Below, Caicaijuan'er summarizes five things you must know before going to Yisala based on her own travel experience, so you can enjoy the surroundings of Yisala. 1⃣️ What kind of place is Yisala? Yisala is a traditional village of the Lipu Yi people, and it is also a historical and cultural scenic area of Panzhihua. 'Lipu' is a transliteration, a branch of the Yi people distributed along the Jinsha River. This place was a major thoroughfare of the ancient Southern Silk Road, and the integration of ethnic cultures has resulted in a diverse and unique focus. 2⃣️ What are the attractions in Yisala Village? 🏠 Red Houses Regardless of the weather, the red rooftops in the mountain hollow are the most eye-catching. That is the dense residential area of Yisala Village, the main part of the village. You can approach and observe the ordinary life under each red roof; or you can retreat to the top of the mountain and look down at Yisala Village made up of red rooftops. ⛰️ The big windmill beside you, the windmill group in the distant mountains Climb up the small hill near the viewing platform, in front is the steep Jinsha River Gorge, and behind are the huge windmills spinning. The windmill group in Yisala is also a scenic line. You can still come to the foot of the windmill and marvel at your own insignificance. You can also look at the distant mountains behind Yisala and see the undulating windmill group together with the blue sky, mountains, and village, painting a picture of the new era. 🖼️ Pastoral Idyll In front of Yisala Village, there is a large field, cultivated into a tapestry of earth by generations living here. At sunset, stand on the high ground outside the village and watch 'the shepherd driving the calves back', feeling 'the long song of gathering violets'. 3⃣️ What are the attractions around Yisala? 🏞️ Jinsha River Viewing Platform Go deep into the south of Yisala Village, and the country road leads directly into the Jinsha River Gorge. At the end of the road, to the left is a small parking lot, and to the right is a glass viewing platform protruding from the cliff. The Jinsha River Gorge in this area is deep and majestic. If you encounter sunset, it's as if a magnificent and splendid painting unfolds before your eyes. The sky is endless, the rivers and mountains stretch for miles. The sunset is not yet over, and the mind has already wandered far. 4⃣️ Yisala's Lesser-Known Photo Strategy ❶ Aerial Photography Yisala is very suitable for aerial photography. Friends can shoot the village in the parking area outside the village on the way to the Jinsha River Viewing Platform. You can also use a drone to capture the Jinsha River and the gorge from the glass viewing platform. ❷ Mountain Climbing There is a hill in front of the Jinsha River Viewing Platform, with a windmill on top. Friends can try to climb to the middle of the hill and look back at the scenery of the Jinsha River, which is also suitable for portrait photography. 5⃣️ Practical Tips for Self-Driving Tours 📱 Navigation: Set 'Yisala Historical and Cultural Scenic Area' or 'Yisala Village'. 🅿️ Parking: There are free parking lots in the village and at the Jinsha River Viewing Platform. 🎫 Tickets: No tickets required, free to visit. ⏳ Time: It is recommended to arrange half a day to visit the Yisala scenic area. ▶️ The above content is summarized based on personal travel experience, please forgive any omissions. ▶️ Due to time effects, some scenes may have changed, subject to the current situation. ▶️ Address location information is provided by the website, please leave a message for more detailed information. ▶️ Caicaijuan'er and Mr. Dog have traveled to all the scenic spots that can be reached by sedan. 🔸🔹🔸 If you like self-driving tours and don't take the usual path, please listen to Caicaijuan'er's detailed account.
