Chuxiong Yi People's Ancient Town

Chuxiong's largest ancient town is none other than Yi People's Ancient Town, located in the Chuxiong Economic and Technological Development Zone. Covering an area of 3161 mu with a total construction area of 1 million square meters, it is more of a new city than an ancient town. It is not an exaggeration to call it an ancient town due to the long-standing presence of Yi people, but it is more appropriate to call it a new city because of its combination of ancient and modern architecture, wide roads, newly developed squares, and newly sculpted statues. The Yi People's Ancient Town was developed and operated by a certain group company with an investment of 3.2 billion yuan, integrating commerce, residence, and cultural tourism. The town features bluestone streets, villa shops, small bridges and flowing water, and shaded flowers and plants, creating a pleasant environment. Whether it is called an ancient town or a new city, this place where Yi and Han cultures blend is a great place to leisurely stroll, shop easily, feast heartily, and stay conveniently, making it an ideal spot to pass the time and relax. The Yi People's Ancient Town is most bustling after nightfall, with lights and neon everywhere. The food street stalls are countless, crowded with diners. After drinking and eating, people either stroll on the streets or join the fun at squares like Bimo and Liu Zu. Yi girls and boys in traditional attire dance in the center of the square, with high-powered speakers playing cheerful music. After the performance, the audience is invited to dance together in the square, spinning and swaying, creating a lively atmosphere and uplifting spirits.
