Xizhou is located 18 kilometers north of the ancient city of Dali, bordering Erhai Lake to the east and Cangshan Mountain to the west. Xizhou is an important town where the Bai people live together. It has a relatively large number of well-preserved Bai residential buildings. From the layout point of view, it is a typical Bai courtyard pattern of "three squares and one screen wall" and "four in one and five patios". The colorful decorative art of these residences with carved beams and painted beams, overlapping brackets, cornices, gate towers, screen walls and gables fully reflects the architectural talent and artistic creativity of the Bai people.
