introduction to scenic spots
Yindu Water Town, formerly known as Shizhaizi, is located in Xinhua Village, Caohai Town, Heqing County, Dali Prefecture, and is composed of seven typical Bai nationality gathering villages. As early as the Tang Dynasty, craftsmen in Xinhua Village began to make handicrafts such as gold, silver and copper, which have been passed down from generation to generation and continue to this day. Nowadays, Yindu Water Town has become a famous tourist area in Dali because of its long handicraft culture and quiet pastoral scenery.
The integrated Yindu Water Town consists of Xinhua International Ecological Park, Shizhaizi Handicraft Exhibition Park, National Hundred Arts Sanshi Street, Yunnan Silverware Museum and Ancient Stage, with a total area of 1.6 square kilometers. The scenic spot, featuring silver capital and water town, integrates sightseeing and shopping, and becomes the largest ethnic handicraft processing base and tourist commodity distribution center in southwest China.
when you walk into the gate of water town, the central area is the street of three cities with all kinds of national arts. Sanshi Street is dominated by traditional Bai architecture, with restaurants and snacks, ethnic costumes and handicrafts from all over the country gathered in the shops on both sides, as well as teahouses and bars with different decorations. Visitors can enjoy shopping, leisure or delicious food, which is the most beautiful landscape in Xinhua Village.
When you come to Yindu Water Town, you can't miss the "Handicraft Exhibition Park", which claims to be the largest gathering place of tourism commodities in Southeast Asia. The exhibition garden is built in the form of traditional Bai folk houses, and the buildings are connected by cloisters, carved with beams and painted with buildings, which are quite beautiful. There are a large number of handicrafts with rich varieties and exquisite workmanship displayed in the park, and the silverware made by local craftsmen is the most famous. No matter whether it is ornaments or ornaments, they are all exquisitely crafted and exquisite. Therefore, Shizhaizi Handicraft Exhibition Park has the reputation of "the first silver capital in the world". If you have a fancy silverware, you can buy it appropriately.
If you want to see the silverware of local craftsmen, you must not miss the "Yunnan Silverware Museum" in the scenic spot, which is the first professional silverware museum in China. It manages and collects more than 2,111 pieces of precious folk silverware left over from the Tang and Song Dynasties, which are divided into three categories: ornaments, daily necessities and religious instruments, all of which are fine works. Looking at these exquisite silverware, we can imagine the development process of Shizhaizi silverware making technology, and we feel a lot.
After seeing more exquisite handicrafts, you can also wander around the village. Xinhua International Ecological Park is surrounded by mountains and water, and it is a unique Bai courtyard. You can stroll into the courtyard and experience the famous "Bai three tea", go boating on the water, fish by the lake, and have tea and make friends. The laid-back atmosphere is unforgettable.
