What travelers say:
Zhoucheng, in front of these well-known tourist attractions such as Dali Ancient City, Shuanglang Ancient Town, Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas, it seems very low-key, and ordinary tourists will not go. But in Dali, it has an extremely special status: Yunnan Province's largest natural village, Dali's largest Bai village, the most important, it is China's "Bai nationality tie-dyeing township". Zhoucheng is known as "Bai folk customs living fossils". In addition to tie-dye, the architecture here is also worth seeing. Bai people's houses pay special attention to the decoration of the walls, doors and windows, gables, and gates. Here you can see the typical Bai people's houses built in the form of "three bedrooms and one wall" and "four-in-five patios" closed courtyard. There is a single courtyard, one into the number of courtyards, which can be called a piece of art.

Located in the north of Dali Xizhou Ancient Town, Zhoucheng Village is close to the Butterfly Spring Scenic Area and is an ancient Bai village. Now entering the ancient village, you can still see the Bai people's architecture and the aunts wearing national costumes. The ethnic style is strong. The art of tie dyeing is very famous, and it is the primary reason why many tourists come here. A long strip of canvas flutters in the antique courtyard, which is beautiful.

A 1000 year old craft, Tie-Dyeing✨We visited the Duan family’s tie dye in Zhoucheng village (周城段氏扎染) in Dali, and watched the beautiful traditional tie-dyeing process. The village is famous as the “Hometown of Bai People’s Tie-dyeing Art.”Blue and White heaven, my two favourite pairing of colours 😍✨ Every bit of fabric is first tied and wrapped extremely tight like the white cloth you see on the first image. The aim is to make sure all the parts that are not tied, are dyed (I can’t prevent the rhyming that is obviously meant to be…). This amazing craftsmanship has been around for over 1000 years! The TravelChinaGuide explains the process further: “The dyeing process involves first soaking the 'knots' into clear water, followed by immersing them in the dye vat for a period of time before taking them out to dry. After drying, they are again put back in the dye vat and the process is repeated until a satisfactory color is achieved. Once dried, stitches are taken out of the knots and the cloth is smoothen out to reveal that part of the cloth which was sewn and form beautiful flower patterns and the dye crease marks.” #art#historicculture#summervacation#urbanexplorerSarinaCVR21

The Zhoucheng village is the center of the Bai minority people. The colorful tie dye is everywhere. The people are warm and friendly and the food is some of the best I have in China. Do not miss the homemade cheese that is paper thin and then deep fried. It turns a golden brown and is crispy, delicious. The tie dye museum and factory anchor the south end of town. The north is marked by the famous Butterfly Spring and next to that an UNESCO Environmental Park, one of a handful in the world. In the center is one of the nicest hotel I have stayed in. A total surprise The White Manor Hotel is elegance and grace in the most unexpected place. Luxury in the Heart of the Village is their motto and they are not incorrect. Our room had a large private patio with an outdoor soaking tub. We just stayed for two days but sunrise each day was spectacular. I love this village too because it is the narrowest area between the beautiful Lake Erhai and the sacred Mountain. From my balcony I could see and absorb both at once. No other village can offer this experience. I may have had to leave but I have left part of my heart there with the people, Lake, Mountain and White Manor. I will return to visit all of them as soon as I can. #holidayvacation#wintergetaway#staycation#tripinspired#happynewyear_TS***oc5
This is a craft | Dali tie-dyeGo to a windy place, the wind is very strong Many people are blown to Dali Will the people who go to Dali like tie-dye? I like it This time, it was a unified organization to the Dali Zhoucheng Tie-dye Museum for in-depth learning, a total of three days. From theoretical knowledge to hands-on I found out that dyeing is not difficult, but tying is I found out that the efficiency of handicrafts is so slow I found out that handmade works are expensive for a reason The teachers in the museum are inheritors of the tie-dye craft, and they explain very clearly. You can get familiar with the process from the videos played, and it's not difficult to get started, but it's hard to become skilled Draw your favorite pattern, then according to the basic stitching method, tie it tightly, dye it, and remove the threads. Simple steps, complex craftsmanship, the simplest pattern took me three days, and my hands were rubbed with countless blisters. It turns out, this is the craft of intangible cultural heritage inheritance I cherish this experience very much and also want to tell everyone, my understanding of tie-dye, is not the street vendors who dye and then charge tens to hundreds of fees, but it requires calming down and starting from tying Tie-dye, tie-dye, the difficulty lies in tying, not in dyeing.JOCELYN RYAN

Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Base: Dali Puzhen Tie-dye MuseumDali Zhoucheng Puzhen Variety Dyeing Workshop has been listed by the Ministry of Culture as a national-level intangible cultural heritage productive protection demonstration base. This is my first time in Dali and my first time seeing tie-dyeing. Its technical feature is a dyeing technique that uses a thread to twist the fabric to be printed and dyed into knots, then dyeing it, and then removing the knotted thread. It has more than a hundred variations, each with its own characteristics. For example, the 'roll-up twist', the color is rich, the changes are natural, and it is endlessly interesting. What is even more surprising is that each flower knot, even if there are thousands of them, will not appear the same after dyeing. This unique artistic effect is difficult to achieve with mechanical dyeing techniques. I marvel at the wisdom of our ancestors' laboring people. Although the technology is ancient, it can be passed down to this day and is liked by many people.Savory Journeys

Zhoucheng is not only famous for its Butterfly Spring in its territory, but also because it still retains the traditional customs of the Bai people very well, and is known as the living fossil of the Bai folk custom. You can visit the Bai people's residences, the bazaar, the production of the Bai people's tie dyes, and you can also enjoy the Bai ethnic wedding, you can also taste the Bai ethnic food and buy the Bai folk crafts. and the small partner went to Xizhou. I found that the original tie-dye wall was gone, and I specially ran to Zhoucheng to take a tie-dye. Zhoucheng's tie-dye museum is the largest dyeing house here, and there are many tourists who are learning to experience tie-dye with local aunts. Tie-dye cloth is made by hand stitching and stitching, and it is made by repeated cold dyeing. Each piece is different. The handicrafts made with tie-dye cloth are full of strong ethnic flavor, which is very interesting. There are a lot of tie-dyed products in the museum.

There are a wide variety of tie-dye crafts here, tablecloths, cushions, coasters, bedclothes, etc., to a satisfactory home. In Zhoucheng, from the little girl in her 10s to the grandmother who is over the age of a year, everyone will be clothed. This traditional skill should be learned and proclaimed by more young people.Air_Belle.
Dali, a fascinating and beautiful place. In the east there is the beautiful Erhai Lake, in the west there is the majestic point of Cangshan, and there is a place that is somewhat strange to many people: Zhoucheng. Zhoucheng is the largest gathering village of Bai people, where you can see rich ethnic tie-dyed products. Tie-dye is the traditional folk craft of the Bai people of Zhoucheng since the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. In Zhoucheng, feel free to walk into a tie-dyeing workshop. The face-to-face is a variety of fabrics with blue-and-white flowers, which are mainly dyed in the sun. The color of blue and white shows an incomparable charm. In the fresh and elegant, there is a moving charm. Perhaps Zhoucheng Tie-dye is the natural color of the local: the Cangshan of the ink and the Bohai Sea of the blue. This time we went to Duan Lifang. There are many large and small dyeing workshops nearby, which can be directly navigated to Duanlifang Tie Dyeing Square.elene137.1
Zhoucheng is the largest Bai village in Dali. It is known as the hometown of tie-dyeing and is a free-to-open Bai folk custom tourism village. Zhoucheng is not only famous for its butterfly springs in its territory, but also because it still retains the various traditional customs of the Bai people, and is also known as the living fossil of the Bai folk customs. There are scattered Bai villages in the village. Some of them seem to have a history of hundreds of years, and they are dilapidated. The homeowners are basically white-haired old people. Maybe they have lived for decades and are unwilling to move. From here, perhaps I want to quietly guard the last time of it. When I came to the town of tie-dye, I would like to visit the production of tie-dye. Just when we went to see where it was, a white aunt appeared. She said that her family produces tie-dyed products. We can go and see, dont buy Its okay, take a photo and promote the local culture. Tie-dye is a dyeing method in which the fabric is partially ligated during dyeing so that it cannot be colored. It is one of the traditional hand-dyed techniques in China. Aunt patiently introduced us to each craft, and the words were full of pride. Her dyeing workshop has been more than two hundred years old. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and the crafts of the ancestors have already been sublimated.Aurora_Rice_Ball.2
