Thought Hongcun was beautiful enough, until I went here... (Full live)

||| Kunming is not just about Jianshui; there are many hidden ancient villages around it. No bustling crowds, just the local life tucked away in small towns. Stepping into Shiping, this is my ideal vacation town~ · 🌟 Must-visit spots: 📍 Zhengying Ancient Village Here you can find a large number of traditional ancient buildings, with a history of over 600 years. - 📍 Shiping Confucian Temple An ancient building constructed during the Yuan Dynasty, the wooden carvings on the Lingxing Gate are stunning. It is the most exquisite and rustic Confucian temple I have ever visited. - 📍 Shiping Museum Yuping Academy is located inside the museum, with the gate engraved with the characters "Longmen" 🐉. - 📍 Shiping Meter-Gauge Train Several counties in Honghe Prefecture offer rides on vintage trains 🚂. You can enjoy views of Yilong Lake from the Republic of China-era train. · 🍽️ Food: Fermented tofu, rice noodles, tomato hotpot 🚄 Transportation: Take the high-speed train to "Jianshui High-Speed Railway Station" in Honghe Prefecture from various places, then take a bus from Jianshui to Shiping. It takes less than 1 hour to get there. 🏨 Accommodation: Shiping Ancient City [Shifang Yunyi], about 100+ RMB per person, located inside the ancient city, very convenient for dining, and taxis are not expensive. · 🚶 Recommended itinerary You can plan 2 days and 1 night in Shiping. The ancient city is worth spending a whole day exploring. Visit the museum, ancient buildings, and the streets are full of local snack shops, full of lively local atmosphere 🏮
