Baisha, an old town near Lijiang

#GetDiscountWithoutLuck Baisha Village is an ancient village of the Naxi people, about 30 minutes from Lijiang. The atmosphere is quieter than the old town. There are no tourists, making it easy to walk around. It's like going back in time to see the original life of the locals. The houses are still made of ancient wood. There is an old Baisha Fresco Temple and local artists paint and sell handicrafts. If you want to experience the real villagers' way of life, you must come here. It is suitable for those who love taking pictures and walking. tips💗 Take a car from Lijiang Old Town for about 30 minutes. You can rent a bicycle/scooter if the weather is good. Go in the morning or late afternoon. The weather is cool, the light is beautiful, and the photos come out very well. Don't miss the tea shop and handmade shop. There are cute local embroidery works. #TravelChina

Baisha Ancient Town

The ancient town is not too far from the city and can be reached by car, plus Yulong belongs to Lijiang’s ethnic minority autonomous county. Baisha Ancient Town. Different from the liveliness of the ancient city of Lijiang, the white sand has more rusticity, the architecture is all Chinese imitation style, stone roads, wooden doors, mottled walls, with sunny blue sky matching, taking pictures out of the screen sincerely praise. Whether indoors or outdoors, the humanistic scenery is authentic enough, want to feel the Naxi culture, it is here to walk slowly to see, absolutely ok. But remember, don't bring too high expectations, as my own experience - although Baisha says that many old houses have a quaint flavor, the overall scale is small, not every corner is very photogenic. Attraction inventory recommendation 📍Baisha Ancient Town Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province There are many B&Bs and cafes in front of the door, which has a strong literary and artistic atmosphere. It is especially suitable for outdoor shooting in good weather, admiring the wooden structures and stone walls up close. ⛩️ White Sand Mural It is recommended that you can spend 15-30min to visit, Naxi local culture integrates Tibetan and Han elements, a sense of history, the management of the museum is more easy-going, taking pictures appropriately does not affect others as well, and grabbing space in the crowd to take pictures 🤣🤣 Snack restaurant recommendations There are several local restaurants in the town, just for simplicity. It is recommended to try Naxi barbecue rice noodles, yogurt shop, the taste is authentic and the price is friendly. There is an old house cafe, located near the main intersection, order a cup of rich coffee, sit by the window looking at the street view, feel very chill ~ Practical tips - Baisha Ancient Town is suitable for a half-day tour - It is recommended to wear light shoes, the stone road is low and uneven, some places are more likely to scratch your feet - The ancient town is smaller in size and doesn't have as many checkpoints as you might imagine, so it's best to just treat it as a quiet look at the architectural humanity - Very good light on sunny days for natural good photography, but avoid the most sunny time at noon - Some homestay cafes are only open in the afternoon and it is recommended to arrive near noon If you are interested in feeling the life of the Naxi people and like to walk slowly, Baisha Ancient Town is definitely a good option. But do not over-fantasy as "influencer big ancient town" so many flowers, come just pay attention to the old home and old alley, there are surprises. #Yulong Baisha Ancient Town #Naxi Humanities #Slow Walk Travel #Yunnan Ancient Town #Peace Journey
