Observatory ✖️Ruins and flower fields, the hidden Yi village at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan are waiting for you to unlock!

There is a Yi town called Yishala at the border of Sichuan and Yunnan. There were not many tourists during the May Day holiday. When other ancient towns were overcrowded, This 600-year-old Li Pu Yi village still offers the tranquility of its red walls and green tiles. Many people call it "Little Seda". A bit exaggerated, According to its name, I think it can be called "YSL Town". Surprisingly, There is also a Sichuan Southern Observatory hidden in the village. 27 professional telescopes are pointed at the Milky Way. Insert your own camera card to take pictures of nebulas. It is so uncommon that even the locals in Panzhihua rarely know about it. After the whole experience, The observatory attracted me even more than Yisala itself. Students who are interested can read my other notes. There is a special introduction. 🚗> Transportation: It is more convenient to drive by yourself, 1 hour from Panzhihua city. Or you can buy bus tickets from "Jinda Travel", which costs 30 yuan one way. There are multiple boarding points to choose from in Panzhihua City. 🏨> Accommodation: It is recommended to stay at the observatory. You can sign up for stargazing directly at the front desk. You can also have dinner in the hotel. It is affordable and tastes very good. 🪻> Secret Garden: There is a small door next to the Central Square Travel Photography Shop. Walking down, you can find an abandoned yard. The red walls faded, The eaves are broken, There is no one to take care of the corner, Now it has been completely swallowed up by the rampant growth of morning glory. Vines surged up the wall like a tide, Spreading into the empty porch and columns, Purple flowers bloom quietly, It's like the end of the world where humans have disappeared. #AprilGoodDestinations2025 #TravelStrategy #NicheTravelDestinations #Sichuan #AncientTownTourism #AncientTown #YiNationality #EthnicStyle
