Zhoucheng Village (周城村 – Zhōuchéng Cūn) è il più grande villaggio del popolo Bai, situato a nord del lago Erhai vicino a Xizhou, e classificato AAAA (4A). Conosciuto come la “casa del tie-dye”, è famoso in tutta la Cina per la sua antica arte della tintura naturale con l’indaco, ancora oggi praticata dalle famiglie locali.

Passeggiando per il villaggio si possono visitare le botteghe artigiane, osservare le fasi della tintura a mano e acquistare tessuti unici. Zhoucheng conserva anche un’autentica architettura Bai, con cortili tradizionali decorati da affreschi e legno intagliato.

Consiglio: partecipa a un piccolo laboratorio di tie-dye per provare direttamente questa tradizione millenaria.

📍 23 km da Dali Ancient Town (40–50 min in auto o bus)
🎟️ Ingresso al villaggio: gratuito | Workshop tie-dye: 20–40 RMB ≈ 2,6–5,2 € ≈ 3–5,5 $
⏰ Sempre aperto (botteghe: 9:00 – 17:00)
