Stroll around Shanxi Ancient Town

Exploring Jianchuan just got way more interesting thanks to Ancient Town Shaxi! 🏮✨ If you’re itching for cobblestone streets, quirky small shops, and food that seriously hits the spot, this hidden gem near Dali will win you over. Must-See Place: Ancient Town Shaxi Location: 084 County Road, Jianchuan County, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture Opening Hours: Open year-round, 24/7 Wander through peaceful lanes lined with centuries-old architecture, and take your time popping into the many cozy shops. From handmade souvenirs to cool local crafts, there’s always something that’ll catch your eye (and maybe your wallet ). Foodies – you’re in for a treat! Grab noodles, fresh baked treats, and traditional Yunnan dishes at tiny restaurants sprinkled throughout the old town. The flavors here are authentic and way more affordable than bigger cities. Pro Tips: • Go early or stay late for fewer crowds and that ultra-relaxed vibe 🕊️ • Don’t rush – getting lost here is half the fun • Most shops only take cash or local payment apps, so stock up on yuan before you go Getting Around: Shaxi is walkable! Just show up and wander – no car, no stress. Food Recommendations: Try the local Shaxi baba (Yunnan flatbread), street noodles, and if you see a bakery, don’t skip their coffee and pastries. Weather: Pack an extra layer – mornings and evenings are cool, and daytime can be toasty, especially in the sun. #jianchuanwander #shaxitown #yunnaneats
