Traditional Bai dwellings: Cultural gems of Southwest China's Yunnan

Bordering Cangshan Mountain in the west and Erhai Lake in the east, in the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture of Southwest China's Yunnan province, are the traditional dwellings of China's Bai ethnic group.

A typical Bai dwelling is a splendid two-story building with three standard rooms, tiled roofs, and upturned eaves.

For thousands of years, these traditional dwellings have borne witness to the development of the Bai ethnic group, safeguarding the local people, and providing warmth and happiness to the Bai families.
