Yunnan Shaxi Ancient Town fulfilled all my expectations and longings for ancient towns.

All the words of praise I can think of are embodied in Shaxi Ancient Town. 🎈About customs and sentiments The residents here are simple and enthusiastic. When we learned that the parking space in front of the residence requires 10 yuan/night and decided not to park, the kind couple did not show any unhappiness and warmly directed us to the hotel where we stayed. Late at night, we chose a farmhouse restaurant in the ancient town for dinner. The four of us ordered three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes. When the dishes arrived, my friend and I couldn't help but applaud. Each plate was full of food!! The color, fragrance, and taste were all perfect, delicious and not expensive!! Especially the plate of cold cucumber and preserved egg salad, we wanted to bring back several carts of cucumbers from Shaxi while eating... About the environment of ancient towns. The early morning and night of the ancient town are my heart's desire. In the ancient town at around six in the morning, the hidden Bai ethnic villages with ups and downs in the distance are shrouded in the lingering morning mist. The sun slowly climbs up from behind the mountain, and the trees and flowers are shining with a faint light. The local Bai people are cleaning the dust on the ancient road, and there are few pedestrians passing by... The whole ancient town is quiet and peaceful, but also full of upward vitality; at night, the tinkling flowing water on both sides of the ancient road and the folk songs humming in the small tavern are intertwined, comfortable and warm, and all the lighting is my favorite warm light. Not all corners are illuminated, but it does not make people feel scared and confused. It is a pity that I did not see the sunset glow of the ancient town, which should also be beautiful~ About some other beauties At night, encountering the evening breeze and the starry sky on the winding mountain road to Shaxi, chasing after the morning mist with friends on the alley, the kind old lady selling local specialties at the market, the hearty laughter with friends, the little dog next to Auntie Arui's shop, the delicious milk strawberry ice cream, the three orders of smashed cucumber, and once again getting to know a new self~ From the streets to the mountains and seas. Perhaps friends and travel are the redemption of life. Or perhaps the true purpose of traveling is to meet a brand new self in different places. Believe that everything happens at the right time.
