🐲 Visit Shaxi Ancient Town, following the series Meeting Yourself 🤩 Shaxi Ancient Town is located between Lijiang and Dali. It is an ancient town with historical significance on the Tea Horse Road, which connects China with Tibet and Central Asia. Currently, Shaxi Ancient Town still preserves its original city very well. 🏡 Inside the ancient town, there are shops, restaurants, and cafes along the way. The highlight of the town is the Yujin Bridge across the Heihui River, very beautiful!!! ‼️ It is recommended to walk past the bridge. There will be a way down to the river. During low tide, you can go down to take pictures of the bridge. You will see the reflection of the bridge in the river in a circle. It is very beautiful. 🚗 How to get to Shaxi Town: Private car or buy a Day Trip tour is more convenient than taking public transportation (many buses and takes a long time). We rented a car with a driver from Lijiang. ❤️ Shaxi Town is a small, lovely town. When we went, there were not many people. It was peaceful. There was both an old town atmosphere and nature. There were many photo spots. It was very beautiful, especially the Yujin Bridge. The atmosphere was very good. If anyone has time, I recommend coming here. We stayed here for about half a day. Because there are many photo spots and we stopped for lunch at the restaurant in the series.

Folk songs flowing water fresh and natural wind No matter the time period has its unique beauty.

I unexpectedly discovered this untamed sanctuary in Yunnan. Recommended Route Shaxi Service Center > Ouyang Courtyard > Mint Cafe > Ancient Stage > Grandma Rui's Shop > Yujin Bridge > Pioneer Bookstore > Poetry Pagoda Ouyang Courtyard Ouyang Courtyard is easy to find, just 200 meters past Sideng Street. It's a traditional Bai-style residence with a timeless, rustic charm. You can also recreate photos taken by other visitors at popular spots. Mint Cafe The Shaxi wall is right at the entrance, perfect for a photo op. This is also the "Youfeng Cafe" from the TV series "Meet Yourself." The set still resembles the show, but there's a purchase requirement for photos. Ancient Stage The ancient stage of Xingjiao Temple is a landmark of Shaxi Ancient Town, featuring stunning eaves, brackets, and vibrant colors. Grandma Rui's shop is next door, but like the Youfeng Cafe, there's a purchase requirement for photos. The temple itself, remarkably preserved in the Ming Dynasty architectural style, is also worth a visit. Yujin Bridge I love Yujin Bridge at sunrise and sunset when it's bathed in golden light. Early mornings offer breathtaking mist, and you might even encounter local musicians, adding to the relaxed atmosphere. Pioneer Bookstore A must-visit for literature lovers. The bookstore, converted from an old granary, has an incredibly rustic facade. The interior features a wooden structure, stocked with both new and old books. The sunlight filtering through the wooden beams gives the books a warm, inviting feel. Poetry Pagoda The Poetry Pagoda is behind the Pioneer Bookstore's cafe. I highly recommend going to the top! The view is superb, with warm sunshine and gentle breezes. Nearby Attractions: Shizhongshan Grottoes and Jianchuan Ancient Town Shibaoshan Scenic Area consists of Haiju Temple, Baoxiang Temple, and the Shizhongshan Grottoes. The Shizhongshan Grottoes, dating back to the Tang and Song Dynasties, are known as the "Dunhuang of the Southern Silk Road" and are the main attraction. Jianchuan Ancient Town is a living ancient city, with over 40 Ming Dynasty buildings and over 100 Qing Dynasty residences remarkably preserved. Inhabited mostly by locals, it seamlessly blends traditional and modern life. Travel Tips • Many streets in the ancient town are narrow and can get crowded. Be mindful of your belongings. • Wear comfortable athletic shoes and sun-protective clothing and hats, as the UV radiation is strong at high altitude. • Driving is recommended. It's about a 2-hour drive from Dali and a 1.5-hour drive from Lijiang, entirely on the expressway. Ride-sharing is also available from the ancient town for about 80 RMB per person, with a travel time of roughly two hours. • Accommodation in the ancient town mainly consists of inns and guesthouses. Staying overnight is recommended, with options for various budgets.

Shaxi Ancient Town, located between Dali and Lijiang in Yunnan, was once an important post station on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road. There is no bustling commercial atmosphere here, only bluestone roads, old house eaves and the quietly flowing Heihui River. The ancient town is very much like the Jiangnan town described by Wang Zengqi, simple yet full of charm. There are no grand scenery here, but small scenes are everywhere. Walking on the bluestone road, it feels like walking into the gap in time. Everything is so calm and gentle. The beauty of Shaxi lies not in its stunning beauty but in its deep affection in its ordinary beauty. ### Travel Guide In winter, it is best to walk slowly in Shaxi.

| Be a passerby on the Ancient Tea Horse Road. In a place called Jianchuan in Dali, Yunnan, there is an ancient town, which is an important post on the Ancient Tea Horse Road. It is so quiet that it is almost forgotten. In recent years, because of a TV series 'Go to the Place with Wind', it has become famous. I have been here a few years ago, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this ancient town is still my favorite ancient town, without one. I thought that the heat of the TV series would make this simple and pure ancient town commercialized, but I didn't expect that when I visited again a few days ago, I found that it was still the same as a few years ago, without catching up with the trend, still so simple and quiet. . 📍Shaxi Ancient Town 🚗Shaxi Ancient Town, Jianchuan County, Dali City, Yunnan Province (recommended self-driving, the whole journey is accessible by expressway, the ancient town has a parking lot) 🎫Free admission .

Here is a town with a history of 600 years, walking on the street can make people feel very comfortable. Among all the attractions in Shaxi Ancient Town, I prefer the Yujin Bridge in winter. Around 8 o'clock in the morning, as the sun slowly rises, the ground temperature gradually rises, and the surface of the Yujin River also begins to rise fog. The Yujin Bridge before and after sunrise is completely different, before sunrise it is quiet and blue, after sunrise it is warm and brilliant. If you come to Shaxi, don't miss Yujin Bridge, the ancient stage and Sideng Street. You can reach Shaxi by self-driving or carpooling, or by ordering a bus through the Caiyun Tong applet.

Shaxi ancient town is ancient and elegant, no matter how the wind and rain beat, it is still elegant and beautiful. You can also go to the coffee shop to order a cup of hand-brewed coffee, sit down and read, chat, and daze. Of course, my favorite is Yujin Bridge. Yujin Bridge spans the Heihui River. The Heihui River is the mother river of Shaxi ancient town. It is clear and gentle, and Yujin Bridge is the first bridge to Dali, and it is the necessary road for all horse teams coming from the south and going to the north in the past. Standing on the bridge is the best angle to view the whole town, and it is also the gathering place for village children to play. The most charming thing about Yujin Bridge is at dusk. In the extremely gentle twilight air, the breeze comes with the fragrance of wild flowers and grass, the smell of soil, and the faint smell of cow dung and horse dung. At present, there are 5 to 6 daily customized routes from Lijiang to Shaxi, at 9 o'clock, 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock, 13 o'clock, 15 o'clock, and 17 o'clock.

The bridge, called Yujin Bridge, is an arch bridge that forms a perfect circle under the reflection of the water. This ancient bridge is coming and going, but it does not hinder its ancient beauty. The brick stone has changed color in the years, the grayish yellow is deep and shallow, and there are still horses passing by here, which is also a unique scenery on the bridge. The village on the other side of the river. The reflection of the water surface is beautiful, the trees and houses in the vicinity, the mountains in the distance are clearly visible, and a Chinese landscape painting is easy.

The Yujin Bridge on the east side of Si Deng Street was built in the Qing Dynasty, and has been collapsed and rebuilt many times. The existing bridge was rebuilt in 1931 by Shaxi people. It was one of the reasons why I came to Shaxi~ I saw the picture of Shaxi, which was taken by Tiger Master, and was deeply attracted by this ancient bridge. Always after hearing the horse bell, it will not be long before the horse team crosses the bridge, sometimes it is a tourist, sometimes it is the horse team that comes home from work.
