Zhoucheng Village is the largest and the farthest
northern village of Dali City. The village has 7,571 inhabitants
of 1,470 families. The entire village is in a square shape with
row upon row of houses. The Yunnan Tibetan highway stretches
across the village. Situated at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, the
village is not far from the Butterflies' Fountain and Erhai Lake.
Recently, a peasants' cultural centre has been set up, including a
movie theatre, a basketball ground, a kindergarten, a reading
room, a library, a TV room, a ping-pong room and a reception room,
greatly enriching the peasants' cultural life during their spare
time. Hardicraft and commerce here are constantly developed. The
patterns of hand-made tie-dyed cloth in particular are pure and
beautiful. Clothes of this material sell well abroad. The yearly
Torchlight Festival of the Yis and the Bais fascinates tourists
and visitors by their distinctive national features, magnificent
scope and vivid atmosphere.
