My favorite ancient town in the country, I hope it never changes

😜Guys, Shaxi Ancient Town is simply my ideal retreat! Located in Jianchuan County, Dali, Yunnan, it boasts a unique geographical location and climate, making it cool and pleasant in summer, undoubtedly an excellent choice for escaping the heat. Shaxi Ancient Town has a long history of about 1300 years, with the passage of time leaving deep marks here. 🎫Tickets: Free! 🕙Opening hours: Open all day! 🚌Transportation: If you come from outside, first fly to Dali Airport, and it takes about two hours by car to reach. In Dali City, there are also shuttle buses directly to Shaxi, very convenient! 💡Travel tips: If you are just visiting briefly, three or four hours can also be rewarding. In the early morning, first go to Yujin Bridge, which spans the Hehui River. The bridge is ancient and simple, and in the morning mist, it looks like a fairyland, perfect for taking pictures! Then stroll around the ancient alleys like Dongzhai Gate. 🌟Architectural style: These alleys are mostly in the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, with blue-tiled walls, full of traces of time. At noon, when the heat is rising, find a coffee shop or tea house to rest. If you want to deeply experience the tranquil life of the ancient town, staying for ten days or half a month is quite good. The homestay prices here are affordable and friendly. 🌟Recommended attractions: 1. Yujin Bridge: Picturesque scenery, also a part of the daily life of local residents, where you can truly feel the strong atmosphere of life. 2. Donglianhua Caravan Museum: Fully displays the rich caravan culture and history, allowing you to deeply understand that legendary era. 3. Xingjiao Temple: The architecture integrates multiple styles, the halls are solemn and majestic, the murals are exquisite, and the artistic value is extremely high. 👀Human history: Shaxi Ancient Town was once an important post station on the Ancient Tea Horse Road, witnessing countless commercial exchanges and cultural interactions, carrying a profound and heavy historical heritage. 😎Shaxi Ancient Town allows you to enjoy a different kind of beauty in the scorching summer, come and experience it now!
