Where to go for the Dragon Boat Festival? I recommend Shaxi Ancient Town, with a detailed guide included

This is a town forgotten by time, hidden in the quaint and tranquil deep mountains, and it is also the only surviving ancient market on the Tea Horse Road. - Here, the most original architectural features are preserved, with long and long bluestone roads, and simple and kind folk customs. - Come to Dali Shaxi Ancient Town, be a passerby on the Tea Horse Road in the forgotten time. - 🎈Shaxi Travel Guide - Must-visit ✅Ancient Theater Stage ✅Yujin Bridge ✅Shaxi Charlie Chaplin ✅Pioneer Bookstore ✅Mountain Wind Courtyard ✅Poetry Tower ✅Mid-mountain Coffee ✅Dongzhaimen ✅Youfeng Xiaoguan ✅Ouyang Courtyard - 🍵Shaxi Food Recommendations ✅Jiajia Farmhouse Dishes: The potato cakes are really unique, crispy on the outside and sticky on the inside; the marinated meat with fat and lean is also delicious; the steamed eggplant with a sour and spicy taste; the rice wine milk cake is very special 🌟PS: About 40 per person, great value for money - ✅First Encounter with Shaxi: Must try the signature spicy beef 🌟PS: About 50 per person, come early when it's crowded - ✅Xilu Xiaoyuan: Recommended chicken soup, very fresh and nourishing 🌟PS: About 45 per person, great value for money - ✅Sifang Street Barbecue: Shaxi's rare nightlife, worth experiencing 🌟PS: About 50 per person, taste varies from person to person - 🏠Accommodation Recommendations ✅In the off-season, you can choose not to book in advance, see the room upon arrival (after all, there is a big difference between the actual scene and pictures) - ✅During the peak season, be sure to book in advance, otherwise the rooms will be tight 🌟PS: I stayed at Jingping She Guesthouse, overall it was okay, because it was off-season, great value for money, very convenient to enter and exit the ancient town, close to the Ancient Theater Stage, and convenient to go to Yujin Bridge. - 🚩Shaxi One-Day Tour Recommendations ✅After breakfast, stroll around the ancient town ✅Wander through the ancient streets and alleys ✅Local specialty food for lunch ✅Visit ancient cultural relics and popular photo spots in the afternoon ✅The ambiance of the ancient town under the sunset and the sunset at Yujin Bridge ✅Night tour of the ancient town and food in the evening - 🚙Transportation Information ✅Take a bus from Dali to Shaxi, the journey takes about 2.5 hours 🌟PS: Departing from Dali city center, the fare is 58; remember, if you are in Dali Ancient Town, you don't need to go to Dali city center, you can wait at the bus stop at the March Street entrance of Cangshan Gate, and buy tickets on Caiyun Tong (make sure to get the driver's contact information from customer service in advance and communicate beforehand); there are also buses to Shaxi Ancient Town from Dali Ancient Town Bus Station, the fare is 108
