Taking the Kids to Dali: Visiting the Filming Locations of "Meet Yourself"

The filming locations of "Meet Yourself" have made this ancient town a must-visit destination! ▪️After binge-watching "Meet Yourself" with my little one curled up on the couch, we were both completely enchanted by the charming town and heartwarming story in the drama. ▪️Every frame was so beautiful that we couldn't resist taking screenshots. My child couldn't stop talking about the rice field paths and the "Windy Courtyard." Without hesitation, we packed our bags and headed to Dali to visit the same filming locations for a "windy" adventure🌈 💓Together with my child, we continued our own "windy story" in Dali! 【Main Filming Locations of "Meet Yourself"】 ✨The rice fields of Xizhou Ancient Town, where Xu Hongdou once walked. Standing here with my child, the golden rice fields against the blue sky and white clouds made for stunning photos🌞 ✨The Windy Courtyard in Fengyangyi Village, a thousand-year-old ancient village. Walking along the stone paths and earthen walls with my child, we felt the traces of time. My kid was thrilled to visit the courtyard. ✨Shaxi Ancient Town, where Grandma set up her stall. Strolling with my child among the red walls, blue tiles, and lush flowers, we experienced the authentic life of Dali. ✨The horse ranch at Tian Deng Hai Ping, where Xu Hongdou and Xie Zhiyao first met. This paradise-like spot was perfect for watching herds of cattle and sheep and running across the vast grasslands with my child—pure joy. 🍃Fengyangyi Village 🍃Filming Location: The Windy Courtyard, the inn where Xu Hongdou stayed Book in advance and take your child into the courtyard.

Dali Ancient City

Ready to soak up some stunning scenery and laid-back vibes in Dali? 🍞🌇 My trip was all about epic rooftop sunsets over the Dali Ancient City, delicious street eats, and those classic Yunnan skylines. If Chinese architecture and golden hour landscapes get you hyped, keep reading! Top Spots to Visit — Dali Ancient City Guide: 1. Dali Ancient City (No. 42, Yita Road, Gucheng District, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture) This entire area is an open-air museum of classic Chinese architecture and vibrant lifestyle. Wander the alleys for Insta-worthy rooftops and angled sunset shots. The city is open all hours, so time your strolls for either sunrise or sundown for magical views. 2. Rooftop Hangouts: Find a café or guesthouse rooftop just before dusk. Locals and travelers all love these spots for a chill sunset scene over tiled roofs and distant mountains. Foodie Tips: The Dali old town is packed with bakeries — grab some fresh bread or sample the grilled meats from street vendors. Don’t skip local flower cakes for a sweet treat. The food here is seriously underrated, so snack while you walk! How to Get Around: Skip taxis — rent an e-bike! The old town area is super walkable, and e-bikes make it easy to zip between hidden corners without missing sunset. All main spots are clustered, so there’s zero fuss with maps. Extra Tips: Cash is handy but Alipay/WeChat Pay are also widely accepted. Weather’s best in spring and fall (think sunny, mild afternoons and cool evenings). No visa hassle for most major nationalities—just check trip.com for entry requirements. #DaliVibes #YunnanSunset #ChinaTravel Guide #RooftopViews #TripDotCom #naturalwonders #happyhalloween

Erhai Lake

✨ Wandering Through Dali, Yunnan ☁️ ✨ Yunnan has always been on my travel wish list, and this time I finally made it to Dali — a dreamlike town surrounded by mountains and the sparkling Erhai Lake 🌊⛰️. Every corner here feels like it’s been kissed by the wind and painted by sunlight 🎨☀️. 🚙💨 Our first stop was the Jeep Flower Field 🌸🌼 — a sea of colorful blooms stretching endlessly, with classic Jeeps parked for that perfect “wanderlust” photo moment 📸✨. Standing among the flowers, I could feel the peace and freedom that only nature can give . Next, we visited the Santorini-style spot 💙🏛️ — pure white buildings with blue domes overlooking Erhai Lake. For a second, I almost forgot I was in China and felt like I was in Greece 🇬🇷💭. The breeze from the lake carried the scent of sunshine and freedom. Then came the Lovers’ Bridge 🌉💞 — a romantic spot said to bring good luck in love. Even the air here feels softer and sweeter 🕊️💕. Maybe wishes really do travel across the bridge to the sky ✨. Of course, no trip to Dali is complete without exploring the Ancient Town 🏮⛩️ — cobblestone streets, vintage teahouses, and local crafts everywhere. I sipped rose tea 🌹🍵, listened to street musicians 🎶, and watched time slow down. And finally, standing by Erhai Lake at sunset 🌅, watching the colors melt into the horizon, I felt completely at peace. The reflection of the mountains, the sound of waves, and the cool breeze reminded me — sometimes, happiness is just being here, now 💫💖. 🌈✨ Dali, you’ve captured my heart — I’ll be back again someday 💌 #Dali #Yunnan #TravelDiaries #ErhaiLake #Wanderlust #SlowLife #TravelMoments 🌸🌊💙
