After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, with the continuous improvement of the socialist market economy and the further deepening of reform and opening up, the city scale of the ancient city of Dali is also expanding. Ximen Village, with its rich tourism resources, good production and living environment and unique location advantages, has attracted many investors to develop and build here. Now, many tourist attractions and enterprises, such as Dali Cangshan cableway, Tianlong Babu Cinema, Dali Shenye Waterworks, Sanyue Street Area, Zhonghefang, Sheng Hui Hotel, Yingbin, Chengxi and Shengxin, have been built. In just over ten years, great changes have taken place in the whole village, which has accelerated Ximen Village.
Now Ximen is an administrative village dominated by Han nationality, in which Bai nationality and other ethnic minorities live together. Most of the villagers' houses are two-story tiled quadrangles with stone-wood structure and brick-concrete structure. The houses, doors and walls are all accompanied by the architectural style of Bai folk houses. The villagers' production and life, customs and habits, culture and education, and diet all inherit the way of the Han nationality. Every year, villagers will participate in various festivals and activities, such as the main festival in Ximen District on June 1 every year, the main festival in Beimen District on June 24, the God of Wealth Market on August 3, the Songhua Festival on January 9, and the Millennium March Street Festival in the jurisdiction.
