10 Times Less Crowded Than Gulangyu! This Bai Ethnic Town by Erhai Lake Is a True Photography Heaven

--- 🥰 Title: Yunnan's Secret 'Gulangyu'! This Bai Ethnic Town by Erhai Lake Is Uncrowded, Beautiful, and Free. Nine Photos Aren't Enough to Post!" --- 😉 [Why Here?] No need to squeeze into Xiamen! In Xizhou Ancient Town, Dali, I found a more healing way to experience it than Gulangyu— Thousand-year-old Bai houses on the left, and boundless Erhai wheat fields on the right. The indigo fragrance wafts from the tie-dye workshops, and the corner cafes hide the romance of "Cape No. 7." The key is that it's not crowded! There's no tour group noise, only the white noise of wind blowing through the wheat, and the excitement of constantly snapping photos. --- 🥰 [3 Must-Visit Scenes] 1️⃣ "Corner Building Fairytale" Xizhou's landmark yellow-walled corner building. It's recommended to come at 8am! The light shines on the mottled walls, and riding a retro bicycle, you can easily capture the cinematic feel of "Roman Holiday." 🥰2️⃣ "Rice Paddy Cafe" Navigate to "Zhou Cafe" or "Fu Shi Tian Jian." Sitting in a glass house surrounded by wheat waves, order a Cangshan Snow Coffee and capture summer in the viewfinder. 😉3️⃣ **"Tie-Dye Secret Realm"** Go to "Lan Xu Ancient Tie-Dye" to make a square scarf by hand! The wooden window frame on the second floor faces the rice fields. When the tie-dyed cloth flutters in the wind, pressing the shutter creates a blockbuster like those in "National Geographic." --- 😊 [Niche Hidden Gems] Chase an "Erhai Sunrise." Head straight to "Haizhe Park" at 7am. The silhouette under the couple tree can capture a sense of loneliness like at the end of the world. Eat all the "Flavors of Xizhou": freshly baked Xizhou Baba (sweet and savory!), milk popsicles from Qingliang Hut, Yinmi Crossing-the-Bridge Noodles… An average of CNY 30 will fill you up! Stay in a century-old courtyard**: Recommended "The Linden Centre" or a B&B, a Bai ethnic courtyard with three courtyards and a screen wall, where you can watch the Milky Way fall into the rice fields from the rooftop at night. --- [Tips to Avoid Pitfalls] 😊 Don't navigate directly to the ancient town when driving! The parking lot is far from the core area. It's recommended to take a sightseeing bus (CNY 10/person). 😊 There's a big price difference for tie-dye experiences! A basic square scarf DIY costs about CNY 80. Be cautious about options exceeding CNY 150. 😊 Best shooting season for rice fields: **rape flowers are yellow in March–April, and rice waves are golden in September–October**. Green is also great for photos in summer! --- 😊 We are always looking for faraway places, But we don't know that the real Gulangyu Is hidden in the wind of Xizhou.
