Huizhou Ancient Town (Xi Zhou)
Huizhou Ancient Town, located about 20km from the ancient town of Dali, offers a firsthand glimpse of the recreated scene where the female lead, Hua Hongdou, runs through fields of vibrant yellow rapeseed flowers, portraying an immensely romantic setting.


Phuong Duong Ap Village
Phuong Duong Village, nestled at the foot of Thuong Son Mountain, is a traditional White ethnic village situated on the ancient Tra Ma road dating back thousands of years. Here, you'll feel like stepping into an ancient world with narrow stone-paved paths covered in moss. The film crew of 'Where the Wind Blows' also made efforts to preserve the originality of the ancient village when conveying it to the audience.



Nhi Hai Lake
The lake is named 'Nhi Hai' due to its resemblance to an ear shape. Situated at an altitude of 1,972m, it is one of the largest high plateau lakes in China, stretching 40km in length and covering an area of approximately 250 square kilometers. This lake has also served as a beautiful backdrop in many scenes, notably the awkward romantic confession of the male lead to the female lead in the movie 'Where the Wind Blows'.



Dali Ancient City
Situated right on the banks of Nhi Hai Lake, Dali Ancient City was the home of the Bai people, established and thriving from 937 to 1253. The Chinese government has implemented stringent conservation measures here in recent years, notably by not issuing permits for modern constructions or high-rise buildings within the city walls.


Thanks to these efforts, the architecture here still retains its ancient charm, exuding the traditional essence of ancient buildings with serene streets nestled amidst temples and palaces that have been weathered by time. Today, it serves as the capital of the Bai autonomous prefecture.
