The Hidden Ancient City in Yunnan, the Charm of Jianchuan County in Dali Prefecture

'The Place with Wind' 🔥 has popularized Dali and Shaxi Ancient Town, yet the ancient city of Jianchuan in the same Dali Prefecture remains quietly heartbreaking. 🚘 Departing from Xiaguan in Dali, a self-drive trip only requires 130 kilometers, approximately 2 hours to arrive. Although not well-known to the public, 🍃 this place is filled with historical ambience and cultural heritage. Upon entering Jianchuan, you will be attracted by its simplicity and tranquility 🔔. The ancient streets are clean, lined with rows of old houses, each with babbling water in front. 🔑 Moreover, the doors of these ancient houses are adorned with couplets and New Year paintings created by the owners themselves, 💡 which are both creative and full of life. 🔎 Highlights of the ancient city: 📍 Jingfeng Park, a treasure park that integrates ancient culture and the local humanistic spirit, with a museum inside that takes you deep into the history and culture of Jianchuan 🎯. 📍 Ximen Street, a street concentrated with ancient houses, where you can stroll and feel the leisurely life of the locals 🏡. 📍 Jian Lake, located to the south of the ancient city, is more petite and exquisite compared to the vastness of Erhai Lake, yet it is also more serene and beautiful, like a dazzling pearl embedded in this small city 🌠.
