This is Baisha Ancient Town, located in Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, 10 kilometers away from Lijiang Ancient Town. To the north lies the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, to the east is Dadu, to the south is Shuhe, and to the west is Wenhai. It is a place less than half an hour's drive away from the hustle and bustle, where you can find a peaceful retreat as if you're picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence. Walking through Baisha Ancient Town is like turning the pages of a vivid and lively historical scroll. The town has not undergone large-scale development and has maintained its quiet and simple charm. The Baisha Ancient Town, which is open all year round without an admission fee, is suitable for a half-day in-depth visit, and is welcoming in all four seasons, with a unique snow mountain landscape in the cold winter.

Yunnan First Experience: Baby and Baisha Trip
Hey everyone! This is Sienna’s first big adventure 🌍. Flying from Shanghai to Yunnan, who said traveling with a little baby would be a problem? 👶✈️ First stop, we arrived at Baisha Ancient Town near Lijiang. Well… the weather forecast was indeed right; it’s drizzling here ☔️. But Baisha in the rain has a unique charm, just like an ink painting 🖼️. The three of us were holding umbrellas, and Sienna was curiously looking around from her stroller. She seems very intrigued by this new environment! One of the most fun parts of the trip was packing for it. Well, traveling with a baby means more luggage 💼😂. Bottles, diapers, toys… can you imagine the hustle and fun we had while packing? But most importantly, we want to share that traveling can still be a wonderful and unforgettable experience, even with a child. Yes, there will be more challenges, but those unforgettable moments and intimate times with family are priceless 💖. Remember, exploring new places with family is always worth it! 🌏 #timetotravel

Lijiang Ancient Town- A step back in time.
Getting There - Lijiang ancient town is located roughly 35-40 minutes from Lijiang airport by taxi. Attractions - For me, the best thing to do during the day is explore. I enjoyed getting lost and taking photos of the old town. To the north is Shuhe and Baisha ancient towns, which are less touristy and a little quieter. Around the towns are plenty of things to do, such as mountain top shows, the tiger leaping gorge, hiking and a few museums. Hotels - There are hotels to suit all budgets. There's an Intercontinental on the edge of town for luxury, or you can spend as little as 50rmb per night for a perfectly comfortable room. Food & Restaurants - If you love hot pot, you'll love the selection. There's also a wide variety of street food as well as buffet style restaurants. Shopping - If it's silver or leather you want, you'll be spoiled for choice. There are also many shops selling traditional Naxi clothes #yearofrabbit#newyearadventure

Baisha Ancient Town, Lijiang, Yunnan
Location: Lijiang, Yunnan This is the most impressive ancient town I have been to China. The reason for that might be the experience I had in this impressive ancient town. We went here at the end of July and were lucky enough to witness the Torch festival celebration of local minority Naxi people. They were dancing and we joined them. That was an unforgettable experience. You will see drawing like patterns on the wall. Those are Naxi people characters. They have their own language and alphabet. If you stay in a hostel inside the ancient town you most likely will have a view to the Snow mountain. I would call this town a “wooden ancient town”. Naxi people traditional architecture includes a lot of wood. No wonder in every corner you will see wooden carved doors and windows. There are small restaurants with yummy food. Don’t miss local rose petal mantos for which you have to wait in a long line but it is worth it trust me! There are also small cafe shops and bars with live music for you to have a pleasant night life.

Been Swept Into A New World
Baisha Ancient Town is one of the three ancient towns in "Lijiang Ancient City". Each ancient town has different scenery. What I liked the most here is that there are less people, the town is quiet and comfortable. Baisha isn't that big compare to Lijiang Ancient City but its beauty can't be missed. The buildings here are very well-preserved, the shops are also more stylish. It looks so authentic. It takes about an hour and a half to walk around . You can find souvenir shops, restaurants and bistros. If you wish to take good photos, you should be there in the afternoon around 4:00-6:00. #awesomepic #urbanexplorer

Amazing Lijiang - Baisha Village
Getting There - Baisha Village is about 8km north of Lijiang Old Town. Local bus runs frequently from the city to the village during the day. It is much quieter because it is not so commercialized (yet) and here, you can appreciate Jade Dragon Snow Mountain right in front of you and experience the Naxi people's peaceful daily life. Highlight - Wandering around the Baisha Village, you can enjoy the slow lifestyle of the Naxi People and their friendly smiling faces. I personally like Baisha way more than Lijiang Old Town as the village is much less visited by tourists and hence more local and tranquil. Here you can freely roam around the countryside and enter various courtyards to see the man-made tie-dye artwork hanging for sale or drying in the sun. As the village becomes more well known among travelers, make sure to check it out before it gets too crowded. #hiking #naturalwonders #tigeryear2022 #wintergetaway #naturalwonders

A step back into time!
Baisha is an ancient Naxi town on the tea horse route. It's a mini version of Lijiang. it's very retro and has so many cool bars and cafes. it's not cheap though, a coffee costs about 45rmb. There are amazing views of the mountains You can see Naxi people play traditional music and there are lots of beautiful murals on the wall. You can also buy tie dyed clothes which are beautiful. I will stay here next time, rather than Lijiang. #wintergetaway

Baisha Ancient Town(白沙古镇)
Baisha Ancient Town, about 10km away from Lijiang Old Town, is the oldest town in the 3 towns of Lijiang. It's famous for its Sifangjie, which was also origin of Suhe Old Town and Lijiang Old Town. I like this Baisha Ancient Town. On one hand, it's still very original, not too commercialized, and the viligers are still living there, and not too many visitors. Some we can still have a chance to get to know their lifestyle. On the other hand, it's so closed to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. It feels like the snow mountain is the guide for the old town. Quite a chilled place. But nowadays, more and more mordern shops, hostels are coming into the area. So better go for a visit before it becomes too commercialized. 🚎 Baisha Stop, No. 6 bus. 🎫For Free 🕰2 hours would be enough #momentsmission #oldtown #historicalplace

Lijiang | It turns out that there is a treasure town where time stands still hidden here
To talk about Lijiang, it was once the dream of many people, but the increasingly commercialized Lijiang Ancient Town is no longer worth visiting. Don't rush❗️, this treasure town, which is a 20-minute drive from Lijiang, can let you lie flat all day long. It is located at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain🏔️ There is an added sense of peacefulness with the passing of time. Here, time goes by very slowly, you can drink coffee, bask in the sun🌞, and look up to see the Yulong Snow Mountain. Travel tips🏃 Location✈️: Baisha Ancient Town Transportation: Plane——Lijiang Sanyi Airport——About 40 minutes by taxi to Baisha Ancient Town 【Photography📷】The degree to which you can take pictures with your eyes closed ✅Hexi Coffee Shop, not crowded, has a roof, and you can frame the Yulong Snow Mountain from the rooftop ✅The main street of Baisha Ancient Town, the whole street, can frame the Yulong Snow Mountain

An impromptu trip to Baisha Ancient Town
Because of work, I went to Heqing and found that Heqing is quite close to Lijiang, so I took the opportunity to play in Lijiang for two days. On the first day, I casually strolled around the Dayan Ancient Town of Lijiang. As someone from Yunnan, whether it's Dali Ancient Town, Lijiang Ancient Town, or the ancient town of Shangri-La, I've become numb to them. On the second day, I checked out the nearby Shuhe Ancient Town (which I had visited before, and I assume it has become as commercialized as Lijiang by now), and Baisha Ancient Town. I had heard about it from a friend before, and it's probably a newly developed attraction now, so I thought of going for a visit. Transportation: You can take a taxi from anywhere in Lijiang city, and it takes about 30-40 minutes to get there. The taxi fare is also about 30-40 yuan. Admission: There is no entrance fee for Baisha Ancient Town, but if you want to see the Baisha Murals, you need to buy a ticket for 20 yuan per person. Specialty food: Yak meat skewers, smoked pork rib hotpot, etc. Snacks: Personally, I think the 'Mu Zi Skewers' at the entrance taste good, with large skewers for 8 yuan, beef tenderloin for 4 yuan, small skewers for 5 yuan, freshly cut yak meat skewered and sold on the spot. There's also the 'Mantou Poet' downstairs in the writing Baisha, a poet who writes poetry while making steamed buns, making a living here. (His collection of poems is also for sale) Restaurants: After looking at several restaurants, I finally chose to eat the local specialty 'Grandma's Love Smoked Pork Rib Hotpot'. I personally think it's quite good. The smoked pork rib hotpots I had elsewhere were quite salty, and the meat had a bit of a stale taste, but this one didn't have that feeling, and the dishes were quite fresh. Most importantly, the service was very thoughtful, and the small courtyard environment was also nice. Attractions: Finally, I went to see the Baisha Murals, with a ticket price of 20 yuan per person. After entering, the environment was very serene, with buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Wenchang Pavilion is a small museum of Naxi culture in Baisha and even the whole Naxi community, where you can learn about the migration, transformation, and development of the Naxi people from ancient times to the present. The Dabaoji Palace and Liuli Hall contain the existing Baisha Murals, which date back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. The murals mainly depict Buddhist figures, and some of the murals' facial expressions are no longer clear. To protect the murals, photography is not allowed. It is said that the 55 existing murals in Lijiang are distributed in four temples: Dabaoji Palace, Liuli Hall, Dading Pavilion, and the Dajue Palace in Shuhe. Today, I was fortunate to see them. Additionally, there is a 500-year-old cypress willow at the entrance of Dabaoji Palace, which is the plant that the Bodhisattva Guanyin holds in the jade bottle. This season is just the peak of its blooming period, and it's very beautiful. Baisha Ancient Town is the ancient capital of the Naxi people, once the center of Naxi politics, economy, trade, and culture in Lijiang. It is the birthplace of the Mu family's regime, the Lijiang chieftains. This town is the most representative of the Naxi heritage and is the most original Naxi village.

The scenery is so beautiful that it can be found everywhere! 🚗Transportation Strategy: Carpool or take a taxi (basically 10/person) It's only 10km away from Lijiang Ancient Town, and it's OK to plan a half-day trip, There are a lot of fun and delicious things to do, and it's the closest place to the snow mountain where you can photograph the snow mountain from a café, which is worth a visit to experience the romance here! ✅Highly Recommended: Baisha Ancient Town is relatively popular, but it has a very local atmosphere. It's nice to wander around here for half a day. Although the ancient town is not big, many shops are very interesting. I recommend the cafés here, usually, they have special photo spots upstairs, where you can see the beautiful snow-capped mountains opposite. ① Mantou Poet: Must-visit for the queue of fresh flower steamed buns, starts selling at 9:30 am, and again at 3:30 pm ② Baisha Thatched Cottage: Fire pit craft beer bar, you can have afternoon tea during the day, and there is a bonfire party every night at 7:30 ③ 7 sea Café: The second floor is the best spot for a photo with the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain ④ Hexi Café: Opposite 7sea, this spot is also good for taking photos ⑤ Liwei Fang Snow Mountain View Restaurant: The second floor offers views of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain In summary, although Baisha Ancient Town is not that big, it has more of a local feel. Staying here quietly for five days, you will definitely be able to appreciate the local cuisine and beautiful scenery

I am wondering who turned Lijiang into a fairy tale world
🎄Spring is the off-season in Yunnan, and the climate is also nice 🎄It is also the most beautiful time for scenery, don't miss the chance to take great photos📸! 🛶Travel Tips: Clothing: You really don't need to bring too many clothes to Yunnan, just an overcoat for sun protection or for wearing at night is enough, and you can buy a nice dress in Dali ancient town for about an average price of 70 yuan, along with matching bags and shawls~😍 📌Weather: Just bring an umbrella for both sunny and rainy days, it will come in handy😄 📌It is suggested that only those who have bought tickets to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain go to Ganhaizi to see the sun shining on the golden mountain, because there is an additional charge of 100 yuan per person to enter the mountain. If you didn't get a ticket, it's recommended to go to Dongba Valley to see. 📌To climb Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, you need to grab a ticket at 8 pm the night before at 'Lijiang Tourism Group - Ticket Reservation - Snow Mountain Ticket - Glacier Park Cableway', and fill in your information in advance; 📌After climbing Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, you need to take the large cableway down, and then take a sightseeing bus to Yunsongping or Blue Moon Valley. The large cableway should be taken according to the time slot, and if you miss the small cableway, they will still let you take it. 📌Shuhe Ancient Town: Quiet and suitable for a leisurely stroll, with beautiful alleys everywhere, the deeper you go, the more primitive and peaceful it becomes 📌Baisha Ancient Town is also great to visit, located at the foot of the snow mountain, with many coffee shops worth visiting, truly leisurely and comfortable. 📌Erhai Lake: Definitely recommend cycling in the Haxi Ecological Corridor, cars are not allowed in the ecological corridor! 📌Ideal State: You can get the feel of Santorini in Dali without going abroad, ~ take lots of great photos📸! Regarding transportation: ✈️: Lijiang Sanyi Airport 🚄: Lijiang Station 🏠: It is recommended to stay near the ancient town

Welcome to the world-class ancient kingdom of the Naxi people, the Baisha Old Town in Lijiang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site 🙇🏻.
Welcome to the world-class ancient kingdom of the Naxi people, the Baisha Old Town in Lijiang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site 🙇🏻. 🍀 Nestled about 10 kilometers north of Lijiang city, Baisha Old Town is bordered by the majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain to the north, Dragon Spring to the south, and relies on Zhishan to the west. It is the ancient capital of the Naxi people, the world-class "Ancient Naxi Kingdom", and was once the center of Naxi's political, economic, commercial, and cultural life. ❣️ Some say that Baisha is reminiscent of Lijiang a decade ago. Here, you will find a quaint commercial street and many local Naxi courtyards, preserving the original appearance of the ancient town. Moreover, a glance upward reveals the breathtaking view of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. 📝 The souvenir shops mainly sell two types of items: tie-dye products and various antique replicas. There are also some cafes and snack bars. Compared to the bustling commercial atmosphere of Dayan and Shuhe, Baisha Old Town is a relatively tranquil place. 💡 Interestingly, although the streets here are quite old, almost all the doors and windows on the street have stylish English signs. Some shopkeepers can even conduct business in English with foreign tourists. This is because most of the visitors to Baisha in the past were foreigners who preferred the simple and primitive Naxi folk customs, prompting the locals to learn foreign languages. 📝 Address: Baisha Town, Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City 📌 Place Name: Baisha Old Town 🎫 Ticket: Free 💡 Recommended Visit Duration: 1-2 hours Tips: ① The ancient town is not large, so you don't need to allocate too much time for your visit. ② It is recommended to visit Shuhe Old Town and Baisha Old Town together. ③ There is a bus from Shuhe Old Town to Baisha Old Town, making it very convenient to reach.

You don't need to plan for eating and drinking in Baisha Ancient Town, as you won't encounter any disappointments
Last time, I only had half a day to stroll around the ancient town, so I definitely wanted to buy some local delicacies. In the shop with the little dogs named Li Bai and Li Qingzhao, a big bowl of rice noodles for 30 yuan is really quite good, and the owner is so easy-going. When I went to pay as I was leaving, the owner wasn't even there for a moment, so I just paid and left on my own. The roasted milk is very tasty, and we all gave it high praise. Later, we even asked the owner what ingredients were added, and the owner explained it to us, mentioning that we could also buy them online. My friend chose the rose flavor, and I had the jasmine flavor, both delicious. Steamed buns and meat buns, the buns are quite fragrant, and the steamed bread is just steamed bread. Picture 2 is something super sticky. The skin is different, but the filling is the same, not bad, slightly sweet. Erkuai and milk fan, I finally got to try them!! Erkuai is a local breakfast, totally to my taste, and quite clean. Milk fan is also good, but my teeth aren't great, so it was a bit hard to chew. Just walking along, stopping here and there to eat, I didn't really do any research, just bought whatever I saw, and didn't have a single bad experience. Rice noodles, roasted milk, and erkuai are my three favorites.

Life advice! Visit this ancient town under the snow mountain when you come to Lijiang, then go on
This is Baisha Ancient Town, located in Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, 10 kilometers away from Lijiang Ancient Town. It is north of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, east of Dadu, south of Shuhe, and west of Wenhai. It is a place less than half an hour's drive from the hustle and bustle, where you can find the tranquility of Lijiang away from the busy streets. Baisha Ancient Town is the earliest settlement area for the Naxi people when they came to the Lijiang basin and has the longest history of human habitation in the entire Naxi region of Lijiang. While developing tourism, it still preserves a large area of Naxi residential buildings. It has not been overdeveloped and is quieter compared to Dayan and Shuhe, and you can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain just by looking up. Baisha Ancient Town is divided into two main parts: the sightseeing street and the Baisha Murals. The Baisha Murals are the town's most famous attraction, painted from the early Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, spanning over 300 years, and are a great place to understand the Dongba culture. The Baisha Murals are also one of the four great murals in China, vividly reflecting the ancient Naxi people's inclusive approach to diverse cultures. It is the crystallization of the convergence of multiple religious cultures such as Taoism, Tibetan Buddhism, Han Buddhism, and Dongba religion.

Baisha Ancient Town - Daydreaming is also a form of beauty
Upon arriving at my first destination in Lijiang, I chose Baisha Ancient Town. I only felt the homogenization of ancient towns in Dali and Lijiang, but this small town under the snow mountain changed my perspective. Baisha Ancient Town is not big, and it takes only an hour to stroll around. Throughout the ancient town, you can see leisurely cats and dogs everywhere. There's not much commercialization, just roadside folk singers, documentary photographers, children leading lambs, everything is warm and beautiful. There are many large dogs, so it's not recommended for friends who are afraid of dogs. As a dog lover, I went to an afternoon tea place where you can pet dogs. Two lazy dogs were lying at the door, basking in the sun to attract customers~ I ordered a Basque cheesecake and rose milk tea. The shop owner was very enthusiastic and showed me the guestbook. I read every message carefully, saw many strangers' stories, happy and sad, a myriad of emotions, understanding different lives. The sunshine was warm, shining on the corner of this little shop, and at that moment, the dogs in the shop actively sought petting... A particularly beautiful afternoon. I will come back again!!!
