The photo is shot in Xizhou, which means the ‘Happy Prefecture’ in Chinese. Xizhou is located in Dali prefecture, yunnan province. The asset of Xizhou are its well-preserved courtyard homes, many of which are protected cultural relics. This house belonged to one of the dominant clans—the Yans, back in the old days. The traditional Bai architecture is characterized by ornate gateways, spacious courtyards and a carefully maintained balance between structural simplicity and elegant detail. On the left is a sedan chair.
