Taking the Kids to Dali: Visiting the Filming Locations of "Meet Yourself"

The filming locations of "Meet Yourself" have made this ancient town a must-visit destination!

▪️After binge-watching "Meet Yourself" with my little one curled up on the couch, we were both completely enchanted by the charming town and heartwarming story in the drama.
▪️Every frame was so beautiful that we couldn't resist taking screenshots. My child couldn't stop talking about the rice field paths and the "Windy Courtyard." Without hesitation, we packed our bags and headed to Dali to visit the same filming locations for a "windy" adventure🌈
💓Together with my child, we continued our own "windy story" in Dali!

【Main Filming Locations of "Meet Yourself"】
✨The rice fields of Xizhou Ancient Town, where Xu Hongdou once walked. Standing here with my child, the golden rice fields against the blue sky and white clouds made for stunning photos🌞
✨The Windy Courtyard in Fengyangyi Village, a thousand-year-old ancient village. Walking along the stone paths and earthen walls with my child, we felt the traces of time. My kid was thrilled to visit the courtyard.
✨Shaxi Ancient Town, where Grandma set up her stall. Strolling with my child among the red walls, blue tiles, and lush flowers, we experienced the authentic life of Dali.
✨The horse ranch at Tian Deng Hai Ping, where Xu Hongdou and Xie Zhiyao first met. This paradise-like spot was perfect for watching herds of cattle and sheep and running across the vast grasslands with my child—pure joy.
