I thought Baisha Ancient Town was beautiful! Until I came here...

Compared to the bustling Lijiang Old Town and Baisha Ancient Town, I prefer Shuhe Ancient Town for its serene elegance, clear waters, lush flowers, and fewer crowds. It's perfect for strolling around, with various ethnic handicrafts and exotic cafes☕ that are full of charm. 🚗Address: Shuhe Ancient Town, Lijiang (15-minute drive from Lijiang Old Town) 🚶🏻‍♂️Itinerary: Main Gate → Tea Horse Road Museum → Sifang Street → Qinglong Bridge → Jiuding Longtan (Nine Cauldrons Dragon Pool) → Snow Mountain Viewing Platform → Stay or Depart 📌【Must-Visit Spots】 ✅Tea Horse Road Museum (Free) Explore thousand-year-old caravan relics and ancient trees at Sansheng Palace. The backyard hides a "backlight divine tree" – the light at 4 PM is magical. ✅Sifang Street (Heart of the Ancient Town) Watch Naxi ethnic dance performances at 2 PM and join in for a fun vlog moment. ✅Jiuding Longtan (Lijiang's Mini Jiuzhaigou) Crystal-clear pond waters – bring bread to feed the koi fish and capture atmospheric live photos. ✅Qinglong Bridge (Ming Dynasty Ancient Bridge) Visit at 7 AM for misty streams, stone paths, and snow-capped mountain backdrops. Wear Hanfu and hold an oil-paper umbrella to transform into a martial arts heroine. 🏠Accommodation: Recommend staying at Shanduo Liangyuan Inn in Shuhe Ancient Town for a celebrity-approved experience. Centrally located yet peaceful, it offers cozy rooms where you can sleep in naturally – it feels like a second home. 😋Food Recommendations: 1⃣Duoyi Vegetable Garden (Rustic dining with views of vegetable patches) 2⃣Amei Bingchang (Try their hot red bean water crisp cakes – one is enough as they're quite filling) 3⃣Yo Yogurt’s solid yogurt (Thick texture, delicious) 4⃣Island & Coffee (Great coffee with island-themed decor, perfect for photos) 5⃣Niuzhanggui Zhaotong Skewers BBQ (Super fragrant mini meat skewers at ¥1 each – juicy with a fat-marbled center. Also try the sticky rice lotus root, though veggies are average.)
