Xizhou Morning Market: The Heartbeat of Local Life in Xizhou
Forget crowded tourist traps—this is where Yunnan’s soul truly lives.
Xizhou’s historic market has been the heart of Bai community life for centuries.

Step into the ancient town of Xizhou, a birthplace of Dali Culture. Hear stories of how Bai merchants used this market as an important trading post along the Tea Horse Road 600 years ago.

Learn to recognise the “five flavours” (sour, sweet, spicy, bitter, umami) and why they’re the backbone of local Bai cuisine. Meet third-generation vendors who share secrets of traditional farming and preservation. Try to win a good bargain deal from them.
