Shaxi Ancient Town 2 Days and 1 Night Trip to a place with wind

Shaxi Ancient Town was once an important post on the Tea Horse Road, and the journey there twists and turns eighteen times over, truly a hidden gem nestled in the mountains. Its seclusion is precisely why it remains so serene and authentic, preserving the original charm of the ancient tea horse town. Accommodation: Jiandian Yundu Shaxi Courtyard The guesthouse is peacefully situated amidst the hustle and bustle, and I am very satisfied with its facilities. I love the large courtyard; sitting there in the afternoon, having tea and basking in the sun, I don't feel like moving at all. The rice noodles for breakfast are also delicious. Itinerary: 1️⃣ Stroll around the ancient town, which is small and exquisite, and can be explored in about half a day 2️⃣ Watch the sunset at Yujin Bridge 3️⃣ Take a walk or daydream in the town after dinner, enjoying the tranquility of the night after the tourists have left. With some luck, you might even see a sky full of stars 4️⃣ Pioneer Bookstore, known as the 'most beautiful rural bookstore'. Since it's a distance from the town, you can rent an electric bike and ride through the countryside

Ancient Town Shaxi

Jianchuan bound, I discovered the charming Ancient Town Shaxi—think cobblestone alleys nestled deep in the mountains 🌄. If Dali’s old city feels a bit hectic, Shaxi is the ultra-chill, authentic escape you need. Getting There: My tip: From Dali, hop a bus from the station just south of the old city. It’s cheap, scenic, and drops you right into Shaxi’s storybook landscape. Buy your ticket in person—no confusing apps needed. Travel Hacks: - No tickets, no stress: You can stroll the town anytime. - Snack up before you leave Dali—the ride up winds through mountains and snacks are limited. - Shaxi is walkable, no taxis required. Just lace your sneakers and go! #ShaxiVibes #YunnanRoadtrip #AncientTown #HiddenGems #TripCom
