Introduction
The Xizhou Yanjia Residence is located within the Old Town of Xizhou. It was established by a Mr. Xuehou Yan, who headed the first of the four great families of Xizhou. It's mainly comprised of three courtyards. Residents have collected together various classic Baip architectural styles such as the three square and screen wall, the dual-courtyard entry and the zoumachuan corner structure. Magnificent Chinese cornices arch over colorful gates and equally colorful three-story screens or exquisite openwork wooden doorways clearly display the artistic and architectural skills of the Baip people.

The Yan family of Xizhou is the richest man of the four families in Xizhou Ancient Town, Dali. In the 1930s, the Yan family saw the western-style building in Shanghai and loved it very much. So he spent a lot of money to buy all the materials from the big city to build a small western-style building. During the Anti-Japanese War, he received Lao She and other literary masters.
Xizhou Yan's House is located at the southwest corner of Sifang Street. The architecture is a typical Bai courtyard layout of "three squares and one wall" and "four in five patios". The Yan family was the head of the "four big families" in Xizhou in the old days. At the end of the courtyard, there is a Western-style villa. The Yan family's dwellings fully demonstrated the Yan family's style of being a rich one.
The Yan family residence in Xizhou is a finishing touch to the ancient town of Xizhou in Dali, where the rich ethnic customs and a long history of nostalgia are integrated. Traveling to Dali can be said to be a must, and it is lingering.
