This is not Jiangnan, but Yunnan Yi Ancient Town

I am Brother Yan who lives in Yunnan. In Chuxiong City, an hour's drive from Kunming, I found a niche ancient town that 90% of people don't know about - Yi Ancient Town. What amazed me the most is that although Yi Ancient Town is a Yi ethnic ancient town, it is very similar to Jiangnan Water Town. A clear green river connects the entire ancient town. 🌊 Walking along the river through the ancient town, weeping willows, arch bridges, ancient towers, Yi buildings... It seems to have come to the misty Jiangnan, and every shot is beautiful. 📷 Key point❗️ There are very few tourists in Chuxiong, and the ancient town is very quiet, you can stroll around leisurely for a day. 1️⃣ How to get to Yi Ancient Town Depart from Kunming, Dali or Lijiang, take the high-speed rail to Chuxiong Station🚄 for one hour, and you can reach Yi Ancient Town by taxi or bus, no tickets required. 2️⃣ Travel guide During the day, it is recommended to stroll along the river through the ancient town, navigate to 'Fengxi Bridge', you can take pictures all the way, there are also some Yi ethnic houses and characteristic small shops, very beautiful. You can stay near Yi Ancient Town at night, the night market is very lively, you can take a night cruise. There are often people performing the local left foot dance at the entrance of the ancient town, which is very interesting. 3️⃣ Recommended photo spots 🟡 Fengxi Bridge: It looks very much like Jiangnan ancient building, very suitable for taking ancient style or Yi ethnic portraits 🟡 Craftsman Tea Making: A whole row of buildings are very beautiful 🟡 Haiyuntian: Standing on the bridge, with the ancient building as the background, there is a sense of crossing You can play in Yi Ancient Town for 1 day. If you still have spare time, you can go to the nearby 2km Taiyangli Park to play, a large area of pink Zi Dai grass is super beautiful.
