[2025 Pu'er Attraction] Travel Guide for Daijiaxiang Ancient Buildings (Updated Apr)

I may be a fake Yunnanese. Speaking of Pu'er, Before, I only knew about tea plantations, coffee estates and red pandas. Until I discovered the Administrative Office and Simao Old Street, Then I realized that this is no longer the Pu'er I know. Pu'er Administrative Office Compound, This used to be the office location of Pu'er Administrative Office. Now it has become a treasure trove for literary and artistic young people to check in. Walking into the courtyard, It was as if time had slowed down. Today, there are several cafes, handmade shops and creative spaces with different styles. A strong literary and artistic atmosphere is overwhelming. You can find a cafe you like here. Have a cup of coffee, Feel the tranquility and cultural collision of Pu'er. 💡＞ TIPS: The shops where you can take photos are concentrated at a crossroads in the compound. There are also some nice small shops hidden in the surrounding streets and alleys. You can walk around and take a look. If the administrative compound is a quiet corner, Then Daijia Lane is the extension and expansion of Pu'er's "Ningman Road" style. There are well-preserved old buildings here. Unique streets, It seems that every piece of bluestone slab is telling the story of Pu'er's past. Nowadays, a number of art shops have emerged in the old houses and shops in Daijia Lane. Handmade craft shops, vintage bookstores, and independent cafes, etc. Let this old street exude a unique artistic atmosphere. 💡＞ TIPS: There is a very popular Big Beard Ice Cocoa nearby. If you like stinky tofu, you can also go to Shen Ji Stinky Tofu and Cooked Fish. They open at 7pm in the evening and seats are on a first-come, first-served basis. They are usually full by 6pm. There is also a great restaurant at the entrance of Daijia Lane, No. 52 Shige Roast Chicken. You need to add Shige and send him a message at 1:00 p.m. every day to grab a number. However, according to feedback from friends who have eaten there, it is just so-so. #UnpopularAttractions #Pu'er #Yunnan #GlobalTravel #GoodPlacesForParents #citywalk

Simao District Cultural Relics Protection Unit Daijia Lane Ancient Buildings The Daijia Lane Ancient Buildings were built during the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. There are currently 9 brick-wood structure houses, most of which are double-eave hard mountain top houses with green-gray tile roofs. They are mainly composed of beam-lifting and bucket-arch mixed structures. The mountain frame mostly uses bucket-arch structures, and the main room frame generally uses beam-lifting structures. Among them, the No. 9 courtyard is a courtyard-style building. The structure adopts the form of a horse-turning corner tower. The room has 3 bays and 2 floors. The 2nd floor eaves and columns are set with corridors, and each workshop is connected to each other. This type of architectural form is mostly used by merchant families. Simao has become a heavy town where merchants gather during the Qing Dynasty (Daoguang). Tea, native cloth, and salt are the main commodities for export, and cotton, medicinal materials, kerosene, foreign indigo, matches, ivory, and antlers are imported. The Daijia Lane Ancient Buildings are the only remaining ancient street shop buildings in our district. The original pattern still exists. It is of great value for studying the history and architectural art of Simao. It is an important historical relic in our district.

Pu'er, a treasure town in Yunnan. At an altitude of 1314 (the temperature just right for hand-brewed coffee), it's neither cold nor hot, neither dry nor humid, unspoiled by excessive commercialization, and the people are simple and nice. There aren't many tourist spots, which might not suit most people for travel, but it's ideal for a short stay. Coffee in the left hand, tea in the right, plenty of delicious food, lots of fruits, and the local milk tea with a hint of grass is amazing. In the city, there's Daijia Alley, the Commissioner's Office Courtyard, Meizi Lake, and the old Xima River. A few minutes to a dozen minutes by car. The various coffee and tea plantations are also just twenty to thirty minutes away, and the Sun River Forest Park is less than an hour's drive. Every day is sunny and leisurely. A week's stay for the whole family is not enough
