Shaxi Ancient Town | Yunnan niche travel guide.
My dears, I recently set out from Lijiang Caizu Resort Hotel and went to Shaxi Ancient Town. I really found a treasure! Today I will share with you this great tour route~
🏨Lijiang Caizu Resort Hotel
Location: The hotel is near the high-speed rail station, which makes travel very convenient. There are convenient transportation options to various attractions.
🌟Environment: The flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard are lush and green, and the rooms are warm and comfortable. Living here, I feel my heart calm down. And the service is super considerate, from the front desk to the cleaning staff, every staff member is warm and thoughtful.
🚗Transportation
From Lijiang Caizu Resort Hotel to Shaxi Ancient Town, you can choose to charter a car or share a car. Shared car is relatively more affordable, about 100-150 yuan per person, and the journey takes 2-3 hours. You can also take a bus to Jianchuan first, and then transfer to Shaxi Ancient Town. The bus fare will be cheaper, but the transfer will be more troublesome.
