Dali Travel | Dali actually hides such an ancient city, and it is Jianchuan

| Dali actually hides such an ancient city, and it is Jianchuan. Come to the ancient city of Jianchuan in Dali to experience the slow time and enjoy the life of travel and residence. 🌟 Highlights: It is 100 kilometers away from the city center, why does it attract me? There are not so many tourists, and there are Bai people living here, who have experienced more than 600 years and still retain many of the architectural styles of that time. 🏨 Scenic Environment About Jianchuan: Jianchuan Ancient City began in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty (1341—1370 AD), with a history of more than 650 years. The original ancient city walls were majestic and spectacular. The ancient city walls and the Qiaolou were demolished in 1952. Now the four gates, moats, and drawbridges still exist, and the foundations of the ancient city walls are clearly visible. The street and alley road layout built during the Ming Dynasty remains unchanged, the scale remains unchanged, the pattern remains unchanged, and despite the vicissitudes of time, the ancient appearance is still there. The residential buildings in the ancient city are very characteristic, with more than 40 Ming Dynasty buildings still preserved, among which 21 courtyards are completely preserved, and 146 Qing Dynasty buildings are still preserved, with the rest being civil structures from the Republic of China to the 1960s. The preservation of ancient residential buildings accounts for more than 90% of the total number of residential buildings in the city. This place is also a national key cultural relics protection unit. 🚉 Transportation Strategy: You can take a taxi from the downtown area of Dali, which costs 200-300 yuan, or you can rent a car for a self-driving tour, both of which are quite convenient. ⏳ Play & Check-in There is a square in the middle, with a tower on the stage, take a photo from a distance facing the main stage, leave a memory. There are also streets, accompanied by light and shadow, which are also very beautiful. 💰 Average Consumption: There are not many delicacies here, because there are not many tourists, but the prices are very affordable. It is also where the locals go to eat, and the prices are very cheap. Overall, Jianchuan is a great place for tourism.
