Editor's note

Xilinyuan BaochengFu, located in the thousand-year-old Bai cultural ancient town - Xizhou Ancient Town, is located between the Cangshan Erhai Sea, about 3 kilometers from the Erhai Sea, about 17 kilometers from the dali ancient city, the scenery is beautiful, all year round like spring.

The First Paragraph.

Xizhou, let life grow freely

Covering an area of about 3,600 square meters, Baocheng Mansion is a Chinese-style courtyard with one entrance and three courtyards, and there is also a small two-story Western-style building hidden in the courtyard. In addition to the spacious outdoor space, there are cooking classes, children's rooms, massage rooms, gymnasiums, libraries, meeting rooms, bars and cafes, and much more.

Mr. Lao She once wrote in the "Short Notes of the DianXing": "I could not imagine that in such a remote place in China, I had seen such a decent town, and entering the town was like coming to Cambridge in England, and there was living water flowing everywhere on the street.

As soon as you go out, you can wash your dishes and laundry, and the dirt immediately disappears with the flow. "This Oriental Cambridge is the ancient town of Xizhou.

The decency of Xizhou is probably given by the Xizhou people. As the old local saying goes, "Poor Dali, rich and happy.".

The Xizhou people thrive in this natural land, the farmers are self-sufficient, and the rich merchants are charitable. Morning bells and twilight drums, male and female weaving, paradise, self-pleasure, and Xizhou culture grow freely in this rich land.

The Second Paragraph

The house, and its charm

Xizhou Shang gang has been dealing with foreigners for many years, and has also been in contact with Western culture early, and under the influence of Western style, Baocheng Mansion has specially opened up a piece of land in the innermost courtyard, built a two-story small Western-style building, and a small fountain garden as a reception area for VIPs.

The Chinese courtyard style in the front yard is very different but also complements each other, and the friendly integration of Chinese and Western cultures is vividly reflected here.

Baocheng Mansion was originally the residence of Yan Baocheng, the second son of the "Yan Family", one of the four masters of the Xizhou Shang Gang, and the Xilin Garden lasted four years to repair and renovate.

Because it is a cultural relics and ancient house reconstruction, the most difficult is the "balance between preservation and transformation", on the basis of retaining the original structure, it is transformed into a comfortable environment that conforms to the living habits of modern people.

Each room has preserved its original features as much as possible, so that guests can enjoy the ancient charm while living comfortably and sleeping comfortably.

The special Kang bed room allows the friends who stay in to feel the charm of "Kang", although there is no fire, it is also a unique experience.

Diagonally of the bed is a very retro corner, next to the soft fabric wooden chair is a small wooden coffee table, the sun through the white gauze curtain hit the reader's body, occasionally blowing through the breeze curtain fluttering, as if smelling the dark fragrance of the gold powder family.

Family rooms are best for a family of four, with a double bed and two single beds. It's comfortable to not have to squeeze in and live together as a family.

Almost all the furniture in the house is made of wood, which always gives people a sense of comfort and warmth, and is also the most traditional design style of classical Chinese architecture.

In the corner, there are many decorations collected by Lin Deng, the founder of Xilin Yuan, from all over Yunnan, such as: Buddhist murals on the wall, bedside tables made of drums, carved porcelain pots and table lamps, etc. Xilin Yuan Baocheng Fu's love of Chinese culture is reflected in every detail.

The bed of Xilinyuan BaochengFu is a bed artifact, and the dry and clean bedding with a soft and non-collapsing mattress can cure insomnia. If it rains, accompanied by the hypnotic rain song, that day will be wasted in this happy time.

"Tick, tick", the azure drizzle is long, the raindrops hit the eaves, gathered together, flowed down the eaves, dripped on the stone slabs, "tick, tick", as if the pits on the stone slabs of Baocheng Province were milled by the raindrops of this hundred years.

It's so nice to dine at Baocheng Garden Restaurant in good weather, sitting under a century-old Burmese laurel tree, sitting by a small stone fountain pool, sitting in front of a tulip mosaic table and chair, and the food and beauty are enjoyed and enjoyed at the same time.

If the weather is not good, the café in Hosei Province can also be turned into a restaurant for lunch and dinner. The dishes here have been refined by the chefs on the basis of Yunnan specialties and are suitable for tourists from all over the world.

Before the meal, a bowl of matsutake steam pot chicken without a grain of MSG is appetizing, mint beef dried bar is the first attempt of most people, carved plum steak is made of carved plum, the small steak is wrapped in the unique sweetness of plum, rich and refreshing.

Jasmine omelettes cooked with local eggs and tender steamed sea bass are also must-order dishes, and there are even hidden menus to be discovered.

Not only hidden menus, but also hidden surprises throughout the courtyard of Baocheng Province, which will fly into your eyes as long as you are willing to slow down and savor them.

The Third Paragraph

Fall in love with the culture of Xizhou

Xi Linyuan said: "The best trip is probably to be in a strange place, to be really close to the local area, to explore life, and then to forget yourself with a moment of separation." ”

Quickly integrate into Xizhou, visit Xizhou Ancient Town like a villager, no longer just a tourist, but become half of the Xizhou people who fall in love with this culture.

After coming, they left traces, as if they realized the meaning of travel. I understood the good intentions of Xilinyuan to open the "Xizhou Morning Market" and "Xilinyuan Architectural Small Tour" for guests for free for 12 years, and slowly realized that this is the soul of Xilinyuan.

After visiting the morning market, listening to the small tour explanation and then returning to Baocheng Province, it has become another feeling.

The lush tree at the mouth of the village has become no longer ordinary, traces of history can be seen in every alley, the wooden door on the side of the road has become thicker and thicker, the cornice arch is no longer just a fine traditional work of art, and admiration has risen from the "innocent heirloom" inscribed on the white wall.

Founder Linden said: "XilinYuan has 45 local employees, they are a living ethnographic museum, is the real attraction of the homestay. "Every employee of Xilinyuan can be the representative of Xizhou, and it is they who make Xilinyuan BaochengFu from one location into a community.

Every weekend, a public welfare English corner is opened to serve local children; art scholarships are provided for local talented teenagers to take them abroad to participate in competitions; cultural salons are held regularly to build a platform where all kinds of voices can be heard...

It seems to be a pair of eyes and wings of the locals, so that people inside and outside Xizhou can see each other, and help everyone fly to the place where they see.
