Compared to Dali, I prefer this underrated small city in Yunnan...

I recently discovered a super treasure travel destination - JianShui, Yunnan! There are no crowds of people at popular attractions. Only a slow pace of life and a strong sense of everyday life. It's simply a breath of fresh air in the tourism industry! - 🚗 Transportation: You can first go to Kunming, then take a bullet train to JianShui, or you can drive yourself. 📝 Travel Guide: 🏯 JianShui Ancient City As soon as you step into JianShui Ancient City, it's like traveling back to ancient times in an instant. The ancient city hides the most authentic atmosphere of JianShui, with bluestone roads connecting the streets and alleys. 🚂 JianShui Train You must take the JianShui Train! This is one of the few meter-gauge trains in the country, slowly traveling through picturesque scenery, as if time has slowed down. Lin'an Station 🚂: The train starts here. The station is a retro Republic of China-style building. The wooden structure is matched with old photos, full of ritual, and the photos are super beautiful. Remember to take more photos 📸 🌉 Shuanglong Bridge Also known as the Seventeen-Arch Bridge, this is a landmark landscape of JianShui. Spanning the intersection of the Lujiang River and the Tachong River, it looks magnificent from a distance. There are three bridge corridors on the bridge, the middle one is large and the two sides are small, with a unique design. At dusk, the setting sun shines on the bridge, and the water is sparkling, so beautiful that you can't speak, and the photos are super beautiful! 🚉 Xianghuiqiao Station Xianghuiqiao Station is full of French style. French architecture and Chinese retro style are perfectly integrated, which is very photogenic! The roof of the station is a Chinese-style roof ridge with black tiles, but the exterior wall is a French-style stone castle. Although it is a bit old, it has a more historical flavor. 🚉 Tuanshan Station Tuanshan Station is the last stop of the train. The station building combines Chinese and Western styles and is very distinctive. From here, you can visit Tuanshan residential buildings. Most of the Tuanshan residential buildings were built in the late Qing Dynasty, with typical "three courtyards and one screen wall" and "four courtyards and five patios" forms, with white walls and black tiles, exquisite and beautiful.
