This ancient ecological town in Yunnan is more suitable for settlement than Dali! It’s warm in winter and cool in summer, and prices are not high

#Autumn life clocking season#

Many people complain that Yunnan is now too commercialized, and places suitable for living have become commercial areas, such as Dali Ancient City, Tengchong Ancient Town, etc. In fact, Yunnan has a vast area and many original ecological towns, but they are unknown. The best of them is Xizhou Ancient Town.

Xizhou is located in Dali, more than 20 kilometers away from the ancient city, which is very close. However, the ancient city of Dali is so famous that tourists have ignored such a place of treasure.

Xizhou is bordered by Erhai Lake in the east and Cangshan Mountain in the west. Its natural environment is excellent, just like an idyllic village in oil painting. The endless rice fields, the rippling Erhai Lake and the bright sunshine of the four seasons have turned it into a paradise.

Xizhou is actually an ancient town with a history of more than 100 years. There are more than 100 complete houses in the Ming, Qing and Republic of China, and white houses with grey walls and black tiles are everywhere. Xizhou is similar to the ancient town of Tengchong, but much quieter and more peaceful than Tengchong. Xizhou people are rich. These old houses have carved beams and painted buildings, cornices, gatehouses and screen walls, all of which tell the past prosperity.

Compared with the ancient city of Dali, Xizhou is more idyllic. It is surrounded by rice fields planted by villagers. The wheat waves are green and beautiful in summer, golden in autumn, and rape flowers are everywhere in spring. If Tao Yuanming had come to Xizhou, he might have the idea of settling here.

Lao She, who has traveled all over the world, also prefers Xizhou. He wrote in his "Journey to Yunnan": "Why have you ever seen such a respectable town in any remote place in China? Entering the town is like arriving at Cambridge, England, where there is running water everywhere; once you go out, you can wash vegetables and wash clothes".

In Lao She's eyes, Xizhou is dignified and fresh, with magnificent traditional houses and tender life of small bridges and flowing water. Such Xizhou is the most beautiful existence in the world.

All parts of Yunnan have their own Baba, such as Guandu Baba, which contains sweet brown sugar and sesame. Xizhou Baba is also famous for its salty and sweet taste, with prices ranging from 4 to 10 yuan, either sweet and delicious, or crispy and delicious. It has the reputation of "Xizhou Pizza".

Xizhou still retains the flavor of the original ecology. There is no large-scale development, no tickets, and you can enter at will. There are many shops on the street, but they are absolutely not noisy, and they will not be wantonly peddling and soliciting customers. The products sold are mostly Bai characteristics, so you can have a stroll if you have nothing to do.

Local prices are not high, especially this year when tourism in Yunnan is generally flat, you can stay in a big bed room for 50 yuan, with good decoration and supporting facilities. If you want to settle down for a long time, you can choose a farmhouse. If you have many families, you can rent a small yard. The price is not expensive. It is very comfortable to decorate it a little.

Xizhou is a paradise for literary and artistic youth. Several friends I know come here every year for half a month to enjoy the idyllic scenery while feeling the wind, snow and moon.

The climate here is the same as that of Dali Ancient City. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. It has sufficient sunshine. It can not rain a few times a year. It is especially suitable for winter. The sun is very comfortable on you. You can spend the winter with a coat in the daytime in January.

In terms of medical treatment, the urban area can meet the basic needs for medical treatment. Dali has five Class III hospitals, and the comprehensive medical level ranks the top in Yunnan. It takes about 40 minutes to drive from Xizhou to Dali.

Such a happy continent is delightful. Rent a house or yard, watch the clouds roll and relax, and live an idyllic life!
