        GENERAL OVERVIEW 

        • LOCATION: Xizhou Ancient Town is about 20km (12miles) north of Dali Ancient City, near the western shore of Erhai Lake.
        • CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE: Known for its well-preserved Bai architecture, vibrant markets, and traditional Bai culture, it’s often referred to as a “living museum”.

        BEST TIME TO VISIT

        • SPRING (March-May) and AUTUMN (September-November)
          • Ideal weather with clear skies and comfortable temperatures.
        • MARKET VISIT TIMING: Arrive early to catch the local market at its liveliest.
        • Avoid weekends or Chinese public holidays if you want a quieter experience.

        SEASONAL CONSIDERATIONS

        • SPRING (March-May): Bring light layers for cool mornings and evenings.
        • SUMMER (June-August): Summer can bring rain, so pack accordingly.
        • AUTUMN (September-November): Similar to Spring, with mild weather but cooler nights.
        • WINTER (December-February): Winter mornings and evenings can be chilly.
        • FESTIVALS: Check for local events of Bai Festivals, which can enhance your experience but also increase crowd levels.
        • ADVANCE BOOKING: Especially during peak travel seasons or public holidays.

        FOOD AND DRINK

        • LOCAL CUISINE: Try traditional Bai dishes like Rushan ( grilled cheese ), fried Erhai fish, or stuffed buns.
        • SNACKS AT THE MARKET: Sample local treats such as rice cakes or savory pancakes.
        • THREE-COURSE TEA: Don’t miss this Bai specialty at a local tea house.

        CULTURAL SENSITIVITY

        • RESPECT LOCAL CUSTOMS
          • Dress modestly when visiting tradition homes or attending ceremonies.
          • Avoid loud behavior to respect the peaceful village atmosphere.
        • PHOTOGRAPHY:  Always ask permission before photographing people, especially during ceremonies.

        PERSONALIZATION OPTIONS

        • CUSTOMIZED ITINERARY: Our private tours allow tailoring the schedule to your interests, such as focusing on architecture, culture, or photography.
        • ACTIVITY LEVEL: Ensure the tour suits your mobility and fitness level (e.g., more walking or relaxed sightseeing).


        Apa yang harus dibawa

          CLOTHING ACCESSORIES

          • COMFORTABLE WALKING SHOES: Cobblestone streets and uneven terra require sturdy and comfortable footwear.
          • LAYERED CLOTHING: Temperatures can vary throughout the day, especially in Spring and Autumn. Bring layers to stay comfortable.
          • SUN PROTECTION: Sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunscreen are essential, as the high-altitude sun can be intense.
          • RAIN GEAR (Seasonal): If visiting during the rainy season ( July-August ), pack a lightweight raincoat or umbrella.

          PRACTICAL ESSENTIALS

          • CASH: Smaller shops and markets in Xizhou may not accept credit cards, so carry sufficient cash (Chinese Yuan).
          • REUSABLE WATER BOTTLE: Stay hydrated, especially if exploring outdoors. Some accommodations and cafes offer refill stations.
          • A DAYPACK: Useful for carrying your belongings, snacks, and any souvenirs you might pick up.
          • PORTABLE CHARGER OR POWER BANK: Keep devices powered during long days out.
          • TRAVEL ADAPTER: If traveling from outside China, bring an adapter for Chinese sockets, (Type A,C, or I ).
          • SNACKS: Carry light snacks or energy bars in case you get hungry between meals during the tour.
          • SHOPPING BAG: Handy for carrying local crafts or food items from the market.

          HEALTH AND SAFETY

          • HAND SANITIZER AND TISSUES: Public restrooms may lack basic supplies.
          • FIRST AID KIT: Include band-aids/plaster, antiseptic wipes, and any person medications.
          • ALTITUDE SICKNESS REMEDIES (optional): While Xizhou’s altitude ( about 2,000 meters ) is manageable for most, bring remedies if you’re prone to altitude sickness.

          SOUVENIR SPACE

          • Leave some room in your luggage for local products like handmade textiles, tie-dye crafts, or traditional Bai snacks.
