Xizhou Ancient Town - Yanjia Courtyard 喜洲古镇-严家大院
Use Yan’s Compound in Xizhou to look at how a Bai home arranges a courtyard, screen wall and decorative work. The point is not to collect the biggest number of rooms but to notice how the building manages light, privacy and family life. A short interpreted visit adds meaning to the town outside. Pair it with your existing Xizhou walk or tie-dye activity, and ask what any performance or tasting component actually includes before paying for it.
