Go to a windy place and experience the intangible cultural heritage tie-dyeing in Dali Zhoucheng

[RoundNails] Dali Zhoucheng, located in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China, is a beautiful town featuring Bai culture, especially famous for its traditional tie-dyeing craftsmanship. [FallenLeaf] Tie-dyeing, as an intangible cultural heritage, not only demonstrates the wisdom and aesthetics of the Bai people, but also becomes an important symbol of cultural heritage in Dali. [Leaf] If you plan to go to Dali Zhoucheng to experience tie-dye art, here is a detailed guide to help you plan your trip better [Taxi] Transportation Guide Public transportation: From Dali Ancient Town, you can take a bus to Eryuan at the minibus stop next to the West Gate (diagonally opposite the March Street Archway) and tell the driver to get off at Zhoucheng. The fare is about 7 yuan and the journey takes about 40 minutes. 🚗Taxi or car rental: Take a taxi directly from Dali Ancient Town to Zhoucheng Village, the fare is about 50 yuan and the journey takes about 30 minutes. Self-driving is also a good choice, which allows you to arrange your time flexibly and explore the surrounding area conveniently. [FourLeafClover]Main attractions and experiences [RoundNails]Puzhen Tie-Dye Museum (located at No. 61, Yunnan-Tibet Highway, Zhoucheng Village): This is the best place to understand and experience tie-dye art. It not only displays the history and culture of tie-dye, but also has a wealth of tie-dye works for viewing. There is a large experience area in the museum where you can learn tie-dyeing techniques and make your own tie-dye works. Although the photos here are very good, please note that the price of tie-dyeing in the experience area is relatively high. If you want to find a more cost-effective experience, you can consider trying it in the family tie-dye workshop in the village after the visit. [Rainbow] Tour suggestions 1️⃣ Half-day to full-day tour: Considering the scale and content of Zhoucheng, it is recommended to plan half a day to a full day, so that you can have a deep understanding of the tie-dyeing craft and leisurely enjoy the tranquility and beauty of this Bai village. 2️⃣Family tie-dye workshops: In addition to museums, there are many family tie-dye workshops open to the public in Zhoucheng, which usually offer a more affordable tie-dye experience. 3️⃣Food: Don’t forget to try the local specialties, such as sour soup fish, whitebait omelette, water lily, etc. They are cost-effective, delicious and a good choice. ⚠️Notes 1️⃣ Clothing and weather: Zhoucheng is located in a plateau area, and the weather may change greatly. It is recommended to bring sunscreen, a hat and shoes suitable for walking. The sun may be strong in summer, so remember to take sun protection measures. 2️⃣ Respect local culture: When experiencing tie-dyeing and other cultural activities, respect local traditional customs and the fruits of the craftsmen's labor, keep the environment clean and tidy, and communicate in a friendly manner. With the above tips, I believe you can have an unforgettable tie-dyeing trip in Zhoucheng, Dali. Not only can you experience the charm of this traditional craft up close, but you can also bring back your own unique tie-dyeing works as souvenirs.
