    The following is a review of Trip.com after visiting the ancient town of Chuxiong Yi people: The Pearl of Yi culture ✨ This time I came to the ancient town of Chuxiong Yi people. It was really a super unforgettable travel experience! 🎉 🏰 Architecture and Landscape: One step at a time, beautiful as a picture, as soon as you step into the ancient town of Yi people, you are attracted by the scattered ancient buildings. The architecture that combines the traditional Yi style and modern design concept, the wooden structure is simple and elegant, and the sculptures and paintings are exquisite and delicate, as if people have traveled back to ancient times. Typical Yi architectural styles such as Bimofang, Sonnyfang, and Girls' Room are full of strong national customs. The small bridges and flowing water, bluestone roads, pavilions and pavilions in the ancient town complement each other, both the poetry of the Jiangnan water town and the unique charm of the Yi culture. Any corner can take beautiful photos, which is a paradise for photography lovers. 🎭 Cultural experience: In-depth exploration and charm This is a great place to learn about Yi culture. In the Yi Culture Exhibition Hall and Folk Museum, rich exhibits detail the history, language, clothing, crafts and other knowledge of the Yi people. You can also participate in hand-made experience activities such as embroidery and weaving, and make a piece of your own Yi crafts, and feel the charm of non-legacy skills. The original ecological singing and dancing performances such as the "Fire Festival" every night are not to be missed. The actors dressed in costumes and enthusiastic dances and songs show the unique charm of Yi culture, which makes people immerse and intoxicate. 🍜 Food experience: a feast on the tip of the tongue, endless aftertaste The food in the ancient town of Yi people is simply unbearable! Walking on the streets of the ancient town, there are a variety of special snacks. Authentic Yi barbecue, fresh and juicy skewers of mutton, the aroma is overflowing; sauerkraut fish is hot and sour, and the fish is fresh and smooth; Baogu is sweet and soft, full of strong corn fragrance. There are also sheep soup pot, sweet rice wine, wontons, etc., each food has a unique taste, people can not stop eating, while enjoying the food, but also feel the unique charm of Yunnan. 😌 Leisure and Entertainment: A pleasant time for slow life In addition to cultural exploration and food tasting, the ancient town is also a good place for leisure and entertainment. You can stroll leisurely in the ancient town, enjoy the natural scenery and unique architectural style, and feel the tranquility and comfort.
