As China celebrates the weeklong National Day Holiday, popular destinations across the country are witnessing a surge of visitors. Among them, Dali City in southwest China’s Yunnan Province has become a hotspot for travelers seeking cultural immersion and scenic beauty.
One of the highlights in Dali is Xizhou, an ancient town renowned for its well-preserved traditions of the Bai ethnic group. Tourists are flocking to Xizhou to wander through its historical streets, marvel at traditional Bai architecture, and experience the rich cultural heritage that has been carefully maintained over generations.
“Xizhou offers a unique glimpse into the Bai people’s way of life,” says Brian Linden, a long-time resident and cultural enthusiast. “Visitors can participate in local customs, taste traditional cuisine, and enjoy the harmonious blend of natural landscapes and cultural landmarks.”
The influx of tourists not only boosts the local economy but also provides an opportunity for cultural exchange. Travelers from around the world are engaging with the Bai community, learning about their customs, arts, and music.
Local authorities have implemented measures to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all visitors, including crowd management and enhanced health protocols in light of ongoing global health considerations.
“We are delighted to welcome guests to Xizhou,” a representative of the local tourism bureau commented. “Our aim is to showcase the beauty of our town and the warmth of the Bai people, ensuring every visitor leaves with unforgettable memories.”
Dali’s appeal extends beyond Xizhou, with its stunning Erhai Lake and the Cangshan Mountain range offering additional attractions for nature enthusiasts and cultural explorers alike. As the National Day Holiday continues, Dali stands out as a vibrant destination that embodies the diversity and richness of China’s cultural landscape.
