2025 Jianshui Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

I strongly recommend you to visit Mile in winter, which is definitely the best choice for reverse tourism! I used to think Dali was a beautiful place, but when I stepped into Mile, I realized what a truly charming niche place is. This place is called the Morocco of China by many people, with a comfortable temperature of 21°C all year round! There are many excellent attractions here, such as Dongfengyun in Mile, and Puzhehei, the filming location of the TV series Eternal Love. You can take photos and get countless likes on WeChat Moments. ❇ Unique niche experience: Enjoy the world cultural heritage Samaba Rice Terraces/Yuanyang Rice Terraces, look for food in Jianshui Ancient Town, take a meter-gauge train, and make pottery in Ant Workshop. 🚄 My Southeast Yunnan vacation itinerary: 🔹D1: Kunming - Mile The tour guide picked us up at the airport and then went to Dongfengyun Farm in Mile, also known as the "Oriental Kaleidoscope". It took the owner of this building 8 years to build it. Enjoy the architectural art of the master in the magical red brick castle! 🔹D2: Mile - Jianshui Morning: Go to Ant Workshop in Jianshui to experience the purple pottery culture. The buildings here are colorful and full of imagination, with a strong visual impact! Afternoon: Go to Jianshui Ancient Town to visit the Chaoyang Tower with ethnic characteristics, and the Zhu Family Garden, known as the "Grand View Garden in Southern Yunnan"! 🔹D3: Jianshui - Honghe/Yuanyang Morning: Go to Tuanshan Village to explore the ancient villages of the Hani and Yi people. Afternoon: Go to Red River Valley Glamping. 🔹D4: Yuanyang - Fuxian Lake Morning: This itinerary gives people a wonderful feeling of a leisurely vacation, which is great! Enjoy the rural scenery in the private camp, explore the Yuanyang Rice Terraces, and take a light hike with a tour guide. Afternoon: Arrive at Shitouzhai Village, and finally stroll along the quiet Fuxian Lake to enjoy the sunset. 🔹D5: Fuxian Lake - Kunming - Return Kunming and Fuxian Lake are also great vacation destinations, where you can experience the sea and relax... 🏷 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬 🎈 Compared with popular cities in Yunnan, there are fewer tourists on this route, so you can choose it to avoid the crowds in peak season. 🎈 The ultraviolet rays in Yunnan are strong all year round, so remember to bring a hat 🧢 and sunglasses. 🎈 The temperature difference between day and night is large.

❤️Thanksgiving❤️ is here, is there anyone or anything you want to thank the most this year? Every trip I take, every hotel I stay at is actually very important to us travel bloggers in this high-risk profession. A successful trip cannot be separated from the support of a good hotel! The hotel during the trip is not just a place to stay, but also a home where you can feel warmth. Today I would like to extend this gratitude to all the hotels I have stayed at this year. In picture 8, there are hotel benefits I give to my fan friends, a gift package that everyone can receive, I hope your trips are as smooth as mine. The photo📷 was taken in Jianshui, Yunnan and Jeju Island.

After a full day of exploring the sights, sounds and smells of Jianshui, it was absolutely imperative that we had a good meal to finish of a fulfilling day. While walking through what seemed to be Jianshui’s Main Street of the main tourist area, we stumbled across this cute looking restaurant that we just had to check out. It had a really pretty exterior, and was full of diners ordering their dinner. As Jianshui is known for tofu, of course we ordered tofu (which was delicious!) as well as some beef (that was kinda like jerky, and a bit spicy) alongside some greens fried with garlic. If you manage to get a table overlooking the street, do! It was beautiful. Find it: 香满楼(临安路店), Jianshui. 翰林街63号附6号(朱家花园大门前行 50米） #grouptravel

While exploring Jianshui’s surprising number of intriguing attractions, my guide mentioned that visiting the Jianshui Old City Train would be worth the excursion. Turns out, he was right! While this century old gauge railway no longer actually serves passengers anymore, there is a tourist train that runs through it twice a day. It was fun to spend an hour just wandering the tracks, gaze upon vintage looking items and explore the surroundings of the area. It’s a great little spot for making use of their photo opportunities too. In total, I think I spent an hour here just wandering and taking photos! Would you visit this location? #solotravel

Hidden within the depths of Yunnan Province, I was in and around the area of Yuanyang to see the rice terraces. Of course, with some extra time to spend exploring other areas, I just had to check out nearby villages. Tuanshan Village is a traditional walled village in Yunnan province. Originally a mining center in days of old, it still features well-preserved residences you can dip into, temples and ancestral halls to admire and friendly locals to meet. This village was also listed on the 2006 World’s Monuments Watch for being a rare surviving example of a traditional walled village in Yunnan province! #solotravel

Covering an area of 1,885 square meters, the Royal Titled Zhang’s Mansion is a two-row residential compound located in Tuanshan Village in Jiansui, Yunnan Province. While touring the village, we were invited inside to look at the incredible architecture of the place. From golden plaques to intricate woodcarved windows, it was a nice place to wander through and explore, imagining the lives of those who lived here for generations. Unfortunately we were not able to learn much about the history of the place while there, even the signage was not very conducive to telling the full story of the mansion. Find it: 54 Jianshui Tuanshan Village #solotravel

You can take the excursion train in Jianshui and this village will be the last station. You will have 1,5/2 hours to stroll around and explore the small streets, traditional buildings and temples and gardens. There are a lot of beautiful woodcarvings to be seen and it’s an interesting cultural experience. It’s a tranquil place with lots of greenery. There are also interesting trees and plants in the village. If you are into photography and history it’s a good place to explore and take photos of the details you see all around. If you take the excursion train, it will take you back to Jianshui after your stroll through Tuanshan.

Walking through a village is one thing, but being invited to experience someone’s way of life is something we are always grateful for. We love how open a lot of people we meet can be, and this was no different during a visit to Tuanshan Village in Yunnan province. While exploring the small streets, clay-built houses and marvelling at the incredible view of the rice terraces nearby, we witnessed all of the locals coming together to eat outside. It was a special day for them, celebrating the life of one of their own who had recently passed. ⠀ ⠀ A sorrowful day for many, but when gathered together with tables full of food, they still managed to find that silver lining on the grey clouds and find the space within their hearts to welcome us in to see their way of life that little bit closer.⠀ ⠀ 📍Tuanshan Village, Yunnan Province, China #leaveyourmark

Zhu’s Family Garden.⠀ ⠀ An architectural complex that simply oozes elegance. With over 100 years of family history, the Zhu Family Garden is an incredible place to wander through, but can often feel like a bit of a maze. It took 30 years to complete, and the entire garden covers an incredible 20,000 square meters. With 42 different courtyards to explore, you could easily spend half a day here just exploring all the different nooks and crannies, and pretending (or wishing) that you owned a garden as elaborate as this one.⠀ ⠀ 📍Zhu Family Garden, Jianshui, Yunnan Province #leaveyourmark

Jianshui, in the colorful Yunnan province, is a true treasure trove, with each attraction possessing its own unique charm. Passing by the Xiang Hui Bridge, I was captivated by its rich history and decided to explore it with my family. The Xiang Hui Bridge derives its name from the provincial and metropolitan examinations of the Qing Dynasty's imperial examination system. This name instantly evokes a sense of profound cultural heritage, seemingly narrating the stories of past scholars who journeyed to the examination halls in pursuit of their dreams. It sparked my curiosity and a yearning to learn more. From afar, the Xiang Hui Bridge stretches across the Lujiang River, resembling a slumbering dragon. This three-arched stone bridge, approximately 102 meters long, is constructed from green stone arches. A closer look reveals a classic brick, wood, and stone pavilion-style covered bridge, spanning the Lujiang River from east to west in a distinctive "L" shape. The pavilion on the bridge is particularly unique, with a three-tiered upper level. In the center stands the Wenxing Pavilion, its flying eaves and intricate brackets exuding grandeur, evoking images of scholars composing poems, painting, and engaging in intellectual discussions. The lower level serves as a passage for people and horses, silently witnessing the passage of time. As the only covered bridge among Jianshui County's ancient bridges, its unique character sets it apart, making it a true gem of Jianshui. Adjacent to the Xiang Hui Bridge is the Xiang Hui Town Office, a typical example of traditional Jianshui residential architecture, with quaint houses arranged in a charmingly irregular pattern. Unfortunately, it was closed during my visit. Walking back to the Xiang Hui Bridge Station, fatigue began to set in. The coffee shop next to the station proved to be the perfect place to rest. I ordered a cup of aromatic coffee and sat by the window, taking in the beautiful scenery outside. The station area is adorned with vibrant flowers in a riot of colors, swaying gently in the breeze like a moving painting. Whether quietly savoring the coffee or capturing the beautiful moments with a camera, the experience is truly captivating, allowing one to forget the hustle and bustle of the world. Transportation: 1. Driving is the most convenient option, as it is very difficult to hail a car in this area. 2. Public buses are available, but the journey takes longer, with buses running every hour. 3. The small tourist train only stops briefly and does not go to the Xiang Hui Bridge itself; you can only explore the area around the station. The walk from Xiang Hui Bridge Station to the Xiang Hui Bridge is approximately 500 meters.

#favouriteitinerary During a past visit to Jianshui Ancient City, founded during the Tang Dynasty, I was fascinated by its history and cultural richness. Only the East Gate, known as Chaoyang Tower, remains today, earning the title "First Tower in Southern Yunnan." Within the city, most attractions require individual tickets. The Dashankeng Well near the West Gate is best visited at night when it glows like a blue sapphire under the lights. Nearby, old tofu shops use the well water for their brine, so you can taste the local tofu after visiting the well. Xiaojiekeng Well, also near the West Gate, has two goldfish swimming in it—be careful not to scoop them up when drawing water. Shier Yanjing (Twelve-eye Well) is the largest ancient well complex and is now covered with iron nets. Remember to wear comfortable shoes and respect the ancient buildings by not littering or touching artifacts. Jianshui Ancient City's historical charm and cultural richness make it a must-visit destination. 🌿😊

We stayed at an incredibly unique Heyuan Hotel in Jianshui and were absolutely blown away! The hotel's architecture is entirely made of Jianchuan wood carvings, every detail showcasing exquisite craftsmanship. It felt like living in a living wooden carving museum. 🏯 20 artisans spent 7 years carving, with impeccable attention to detail! Every wooden beam and every carved flower is incredibly intricate. From the main gate to the courtyard, there's a strong sense of traditional beauty, making you feel like you've traveled back in time. Every corner is like a painting. 🎏 Rainy days don't diminish the beauty; enjoy tea and watch the koi. The courtyard's koi pond, small bridge, and flowing water create a tranquil scene. Even in the rain, sitting in the courtyard, sipping tea, and quietly watching the koi swim slows down time. The rainy day scenery is particularly pleasant, with the raindrops creating ripples in the pond, evoking a sense of relaxation. 🛏 Only 36 rooms, quiet and sophisticated. The rooms blend classical and modern elements, with wooden furniture and carved window lattices adding a special touch. The bedding is comfortable, and lying in bed enjoying the natural light from the window slows down the pace of life. 📍 Excellent location, within walking distance of Zitao Street. The hotel's surroundings are very peaceful, and Zitao Street is just a few minutes' walk away. You can also stroll through the ancient city in the evening. Spending a few days here feels like entering another world with a slower pace of life, where you can enjoy tranquility and beauty.
