Xizhou Ancient Town, Dali🇨🇳 Lovely Bai Ancient Town of 1000 Years (4K UHD)

Xizhou (喜洲) is a town located 20 km north of Dali Old Town within Dali City, part of the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan, China. It is comprised of 13 small villages with a population of approximately 54,779, predominantly Bai people along with Hui and Han residents. Situated near Erhai Lake (洱海) and Cang Mountain (苍山), Xizhou has a rich history as a trading post on the Tea Horse Road (茶马古道), a WWII base for the Flying Tigers, and is renowned for its well-preserved Bai architecture and heritage sites.
The town's history traces back to the Sui Dynasty (581 - 618 AD) and flourished during the Nanzhao Kingdom (737 - 902 AD) era, benefiting from its proximity to the kingdom's capital and expertise in architecture and engineering. Throughout the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, Xizhou continued to prosper in trade, academia, and culture, earning it the nickname "Cambridge of the East" due to its educational significance.
Culturally, Xizhou is celebrated for its Bai reflecting walls, traditional Three Course Tea ceremony, distinctive Bai headdresses worn by women, and a matriarchal societal organization. The town also maintains a rich tradition in producing Rushan cheese (乳扇) and Erkuai (饵块), and is known for its tie-dye (扎染) craftsmanship in nearby Zhoucheng (周城).
Economically, Xizhou's economy is primarily agricultural, with a focus on rice, corn, garlic, and broad beans, alongside a growing tourism sector due to its historical and cultural attractions. The town is accessible by bus from Dali's old town and offers a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry and architectural heritage of the Bai people in Yunnan.

Duck !!!! No te imaginas la gran alegria que me llevé hoy al encender la pantalla y allí en la parrilla aparecía tu nuevo video, son insuperables tus trabajos ; el cómo observa tu camara milenios de existencia plasmando la belleza y el amor de esa riqueza histórica convertida a la vista en una obra de arte; los delicados detalles en cada fachada, los tejados, balcones, portales y muros, pués parece que nos hablaran de su gran majestad y de pronto en el minuto 25:55 haces el paneo a un precioso campo y daba la impresión de ser un magnifico tapete verde que brilló como una esmeralda, aprecié el minuto a minuto del recorrido, nos muestras el magnifico trabajo exhibido de las manos , laboriosas Y creativas de los artesanos y comerciantes que hacen tan vibrante el entorno de una economía y de la gastronomía callejera ni hablar, se me hizo la boca un charco cuando pasabas por cada puesto.- Al llegar a Panxy Bay se me cortó el aliento, justo asomando ese divino cuerpo de agua como un espejo reflejando los cerros que se extienden como un cordon de protección a los alrededores, convinado con la explosión de esos tonos de colores en el minuto 1:12:45 y cuando terminaste el recorrido,.... te juro, ...cuantas ganas me dieron que al llegar a casa gustosa habria desatado tu calzado y masajeado tus benditos pies....Duck, gracias, gracias, gracias !!! por dedicar a tus seguidores tu precioso tiempo😘

Beautiful

[@ninettemurk7492]

That lake looks so amazing! The only negative thing is that woman with the microphone selling something (?)- who needs that irritating noise when surrounded by nature?

[@DuckTravel]

This is very common in tourist attractions in China, especially in the corners with the most tourists 🦆
