After a busy summer vacation, I only wanted to relax for the last 15 days of vacation. I only had one thought in my mind. I headed straight to Xizhou Ancient Town, Dali.

Save more than 1700 kilometers and a 20-hour drive... Come to Zhengyi Gate, Xizhou Ancient Town, the entrance of the ancient town that best represents the Bai nationality characteristics.

Original alley

Go straight for a few hundred meters into Sifang Street in the center of town and encounter a performance by the American Folk Dance Company

After watching the performance, I walked 100 meters from the Hanlin Archway towards Erhai Lake and came to Shiping Street. I met a film crew filming in front of a cafe and shooting a movie:

Encounter Xizhou Laohuoji Chinese and Western Food Bar

Walking into this antique, warm and elegant cafe-Lao Huoji, ordered a mellow latte, and started chatting with the store manager of Lao Huoji

I met a beautiful Bai girl in the store:

The store manager mentioned that he could provide travel photography services around the city, which made it feel like taking photos while playing. The price was affordable. The photographer could provide costumes and props, so he took the following set of in-store photos beautifully.

The next day, we continued to take photos from Xizhou Ancient Town through the Wetland Park to Haishue Park, which is 3 kilometers away.

Encounter passers-by:

Nightlife in Xizhou Ancient Town-Werewolf Killing Game in Laohuoji Bar

The ancient town has not been developed much yet. It is very quiet at night. The most lively thing is Lao Huoji. Every night, the "Werewolf Kill" game is traveled here, giving guests who go out to play the opportunity to quickly meet strangers. Here, guests from all over the world have a good time. The billboard says that the first five participants who arrive at the store every day will receive a bottle of Fenghua Xueyue Beer. The room here is equipped with professional sound and lighting for playing guitar and singing. The store can accommodate more than 100 people at the same time, so it has become The only highlight of the night in the quiet ancient town, especially suitable for graduation trips and gatherings.

I happened to meet the American Berry Folk Dance Troupe, which was performing on Sifang Street during the day, who came to the store to party. When they were happy, they moved their seats away and started dancing. The boss said that they had been in Xizhou to perform for seven days. During rest, they would come to Lao Huoji during the day and at night to play, taste tea, drink alcohol, make their own cocktails, and eat... It seems that the staff is not particularly good in English and language. Foreigners specially do not allow interpretation with the group. They add gestures to Baidu communication, which looks very funny.
