Overview

Immersive intangible cultural heritage + vibrant daily life + original ecological song and dance, led by Naxi people throughout, with hands-on activities and on-site learning, bidding farewell to superficial sightseeing. In a traditional Naxi courtyard, under the guidance of locals, you will personally knead dough, fill it with rose brown sugar, and then use a century-old carved wooden mold to press out auspiciously patterned "Xibing" (celebratory cakes). This zero-distance interaction will make you remember the Naxi flavor far more than simply tasting it. Dongba paper is an important carrier of Naxi Dongba culture, embodying thousands of years of ethnic wisdom and historical memory. Its unique natural raw materials combined with ancient production methods create Dongba paper's toughness and insect-resistant properties. Participate in its creation firsthand and experience the unique charm of this intangible cultural heritage in practice. Dongba script is the only pictographic writing system still in use in the world. Under the guidance of Dongba cultural inheritors, you can learn to write your own Dongba name or experience the ancient craft of Dongba paper making. Through each stroke, feel the unique understanding of the world by the Naxi ancestors. In the courtyard of the intangible cultural heritage inheritor He Lin-yi, listen to a performance of Baisha Xile (Baisha Ancient Music) played by his family. This ancient classical music of the Naxi people, with its melodious string and wind instruments, will instantly immerse you in a historical atmosphere. Local villagers hold hands and, accompanied by the singing of "Alili" and flute music, dance the Naxi traditional "Datiao" dance around a bonfire (if the weather is not too hot for a bonfire). The infectiousness of this collective dance is the highlight of the immersive experience.
