Follow Liu Yifei to the Windy Place, encounter lavender and ancient towns in Dali

If I had to choose a place as the travel destination, I would choose Dali without hesitation. Dali is a place that never lacks beautiful scenery. Whether driving on the Erhai Ring Road or on any unknown road in Dali, you will know that the beauty has never been lacking, it just lacks discovery. On the way to Xizhou Ancient Town of the Bai ethnic group in Dali, I discovered this manor. You happened to be in full bloom, and I happened to pass by. Everything was just right to see the most beautiful appearance of the lavender manor. In the distance, there are the Cangshan Mountains and the floating sea of clouds in the sky. Underfoot, there are large patches of purple lavender and bright red zinnias. Such a scene is sure to 'dazzle' many people. The Yunhai Fangcao Lavender Manor is not large. From June every year, it is the season when lavender and zinnias bloom in large numbers. The whole garden is filled with purple, giving people a visual impact of color. It is even more beautiful when the wind blows, with lavender swaying up and down in the wind, and the fragrance of lavender flowers spreading in the wind. No matter how you take photos here, they will all be beautiful. 📍 Yunhai Fangcao Lavender Manor, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture After leaving the lavender manor, we finally reached our destination, Xizhou Ancient Town, along the Dali Line. Xizhou Ancient Town is an ancient town with a thousand-year history of Bai culture, which can be traced back to the Sui Dynasty. At that time, Xizhou Ancient Town was called Dalicheng. Before coming, I knew that the most stunning thing about Xizhou Ancient Town is the large green rice fields in the town. When the wind blows over the wheat waves, sitting on a small train swaying among them, it is a beauty different from the lavender manor. Unfortunately, it was not the right time, and the wheat had not grown yet... The ancient town is not big, and if you plan well, you can finish it in half a day. In the southeast direction outside the ancient town, there is an old banyan tree that was completely brought to fame because the TV series 'The Windy Place' was filmed there. The 'Immortal Craft Tie-dye' of Xizhou Ancient Town is a must-see. It is hand-stitched and dyed with plant colors, which not only does not fade but also has certain health benefits for the skin, perfectly avoiding the side effects of modern dyes. However, due to the complex and time-consuming production process and other factors, Xizhou tie-dye is more of a traditional Bai ethnic craft culture promotion. 📍 Xizhou Ancient Town, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture
