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
