Shexiang Ancient Town | A Gentle Dream Hidden in Time

| A gentle dream hidden in time. Stepping into Shexiang Ancient Town is like opening an ancient storybook, each page filled with the gentleness and richness of time. 📍【Location】 Shexiang Ancient Town, located in Dafang, Guizhou, is a small town full of Yi ethnic charm. Traveling from the bustling city, upon arrival, you'll be healed by the tranquility and simplicity. Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, time seems to slow down here. 🏘【Architectural Style】 The town's architecture is unique, blending traditional Yi elements with modern design. Houses with black tile roofs and white walls are scattered in an orderly fashion, and the carvings under the eaves are exquisite and delicate, telling ancient stories. Walking on the stone road and touching the mottled walls, you can feel the warmth of history. Overlooking from a high place, the whole ancient town looks like a light and elegant ink painting, or a silent poem. 🌳【Flower Sea Terraces in the Town】 This is the most stunning part of Shexiang Ancient Town! The cascading terraces stretch freely within the town, changing colors with the seasons. In spring, the rapeseed flowers are golden and brilliant; in summer, Gesang flowers bloom romantically; in autumn, the golden rice ears bend heavily. Walking along the ridges, the breeze blows gently, and the fragrance of flowers and rice intertwines, making people intoxicated. 🎭【Folk Culture】 The Yi culture here is rich and colorful. As night falls, bonfires are lit in the square, and Yi people dressed in gorgeous ethnic costumes sing and dance. They are warm and hospitable, inviting tourists to join the joyful队伍. There are also exquisite Yi embroidery and mysterious Yi song and dance performances, each full of unique charm, making people unable to resist immersing themselves in it. 🍜【Food Journey】 The food in the ancient town is not to be missed. Try a bite of the soft and glutinous Dafang hand-shredded tofu, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, dipped in special chili powder, and your taste buds will be instantly ignited. Then have a bowl of fragrant mutton noodles, with rich soup, smooth rice noodles, and tender mutton, making people shout for more. There are also various special snacks, allowing your taste buds to embark on a wonderful journey. Shexiang Ancient Town is a journey for the soul, a feast for the eyes and taste buds. If you also yearn to escape the hustle and bustle and find inner peace, come here and encounter a gentle old dream.
