Lijiang Baisha Ancient Town!!! Personally, I feel it’s unbeatable...

Lijiang, this small city, hides so many surprises, and Baisha Ancient Town is definitely the one I can’t stop thinking about! Even breathing here slows down, it’s truly the pinnacle of healing travel~ 🏡【Baisha Ancient Town Must-Visit Spots】 📍Sifang Street: The soul of the ancient town, with original Naxi residences lining the cobblestone road. The afternoon sunlight slants onto the wooden doors, and every casual shot looks like a masterpiece! 📍Baisha Murals: Hidden in inconspicuous residences, these religious murals from the Ming Dynasty still have vivid colors. Remember to speak softly when visiting~ 📍Tie-dye Workshop: There are several long-established shops in the ancient town. Watching the elderly lady create on homespun cloth with indigo dye is fascinating, and you can also try DIY yourself (about 50-80 RMB per person). ☕️【Best Spots to Zone Out】 Passing by Mantou Poet’s Rose Mantou Shop (east side of Sifang Street), be sure to buy two for breakfast! A bit further ahead, the second floor of 7sea bar is the best spot to photograph Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Order a cup of Yunnan small bean coffee and you can sit all day. 📸【Off-the-Beaten-Path Activities】 If you like collecting stamps, remember to bring a notebook! The post office and cafes have unique stamps. The market day every Friday is lively, where you can find handmade copperware, Dongba paper, and other special items. A 15-minute walk north leads to a ranch, perfect for stunning photos with the snow mountain. ⚠️TIPS: 1. Altitude is about 2400 meters, avoid strenuous exercise upon arrival 2. Large temperature difference between day and night, a light down jacket is most practical 3. Some guesthouses do not provide disposable toiletries, it’s recommended to bring your own 4. Main street shops generally close by 9 PM, but bars stay open until dawn 🌸Even now, I can still picture the scene when I opened the window early in the morning: snow mountains in the distance, smoke from cooking nearby, wind chimes ringing under the eaves... Such slow moments are probably the true meaning of travel~

Baisha Ancient Town

The ancient town is not too far from the city and can be reached by car, plus Yulong belongs to Lijiang’s ethnic minority autonomous county. Baisha Ancient Town. Different from the liveliness of the ancient city of Lijiang, the white sand has more rusticity, the architecture is all Chinese imitation style, stone roads, wooden doors, mottled walls, with sunny blue sky matching, taking pictures out of the screen sincerely praise. Whether indoors or outdoors, the humanistic scenery is authentic enough, want to feel the Naxi culture, it is here to walk slowly to see, absolutely ok. But remember, don't bring too high expectations, as my own experience - although Baisha says that many old houses have a quaint flavor, the overall scale is small, not every corner is very photogenic. Attraction inventory recommendation 📍Baisha Ancient Town Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province There are many B&Bs and cafes in front of the door, which has a strong literary and artistic atmosphere. It is especially suitable for outdoor shooting in good weather, admiring the wooden structures and stone walls up close. ⛩️ White Sand Mural It is recommended that you can spend 15-30min to visit, Naxi local culture integrates Tibetan and Han elements, a sense of history, the management of the museum is more easy-going, taking pictures appropriately does not affect others as well, and grabbing space in the crowd to take pictures 🤣🤣 Snack restaurant recommendations There are several local restaurants in the town, just for simplicity. It is recommended to try Naxi barbecue rice noodles, yogurt shop, the taste is authentic and the price is friendly. There is an old house cafe, located near the main intersection, order a cup of rich coffee, sit by the window looking at the street view, feel very chill ~ Practical tips - Baisha Ancient Town is suitable for a half-day tour - It is recommended to wear light shoes, the stone road is low and uneven, some places are more likely to scratch your feet - The ancient town is smaller in size and doesn't have as many checkpoints as you might imagine, so it's best to just treat it as a quiet look at the architectural humanity - Very good light on sunny days for natural good photography, but avoid the most sunny time at noon - Some homestay cafes are only open in the afternoon and it is recommended to arrive near noon If you are interested in feeling the life of the Naxi people and like to walk slowly, Baisha Ancient Town is definitely a good option. But do not over-fantasy as "influencer big ancient town" so many flowers, come just pay attention to the old home and old alley, there are surprises. #Yulong Baisha Ancient Town #Naxi Humanities #Slow Walk Travel #Yunnan Ancient Town #Peace Journey
