2025 Jianshui Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

For a perfect summer family trip, I highly recommend Mile with its pleasant 22°C climate! This hidden gem offers an ideal "reverse tourism" experience. I used to think Dali was the pinnacle of beauty—until I discovered Mile in southeastern Yunnan. This underrated destination, often called China's Morocco, boasts a consistently comfortable 22°C temperature year-round! **Unique Southeastern Yunnan Experience** Here, you can leisurely ride horse-drawn carriages, enjoy water fights for summer refreshment, savor lotus-themed feasts, light up fireworks at night, and stroll through lavender fields. It feels like stepping back into a simpler time—when life moved slower, letters traveled far, and love was cherished deeply. **Southeastern Yunnan Itinerary** **DAY1: Kunming → Mile** After being greeted by our guide at the airport, we headed to Mile’s Dongfengyun Farm, also known as the "Oriental Kaleidoscope." This magical red-brick castle, built over 8 years, showcases extraordinary architectural artistry. **DAY2: Mile → Jianshui** Morning: Explore the colorful, whimsical Jianshui Ant Workshop and immerse in purple clay culture. Afternoon: Visit Jianshui Ancient Town to admire the ethnic-style Chaoyang Tower and the "Grand View Garden of Southern Yunnan"—the Zhu Family Garden. Don’t miss local delicacies like Jianshui tofu, steamed pot chicken, cross-bridge rice noodles with jelly, and pomegranate juice. **DAY3: Jianshui → Honghe/Yuanyang** Morning: Ride the unique Yunnan-Vietnam sightseeing railway to Tuanshan Village, discovering ancient Hani and Yi ethnic settlements. Afternoon: Head to Honghe Valley’s Tent Camp. **DAY4: Yuanyang → Fuxian Lake** Morning: Enjoy a leisurely private camp retreat, with a guided light hike through Yuanyang’s terraced fields. Afternoon: Arrive at Stone Village, then unwind by serene Fuxian Lake for a breathtaking sunset. **DAY5: Fuxian Lake → Kunming → Departure** Kunming and Fuxian Lake are also fantastic for relaxation—offering both ocean-like vistas and tranquil downtime. **Travel Tips** • This route is far less crowded than Yunnan’s tourist hotspots—perfect for peak-season escapes. • Yunnan’s UV rays are strong year-round; pack hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. • Large temperature swings between day and night—bring extra layers.

I recently discovered a super treasure travel destination - JianShui, Yunnan! There are no crowds of people at popular attractions. Only a slow pace of life and a strong sense of everyday life. It's simply a breath of fresh air in the tourism industry! - 🚗 Transportation: You can first go to Kunming, then take a bullet train to JianShui, or you can drive yourself. 📝 Travel Guide: 🏯 JianShui Ancient City As soon as you step into JianShui Ancient City, it's like traveling back to ancient times in an instant. The ancient city hides the most authentic atmosphere of JianShui, with bluestone roads connecting the streets and alleys. 🚂 JianShui Train You must take the JianShui Train! This is one of the few meter-gauge trains in the country, slowly traveling through picturesque scenery, as if time has slowed down. Lin'an Station 🚂: The train starts here. The station is a retro Republic of China-style building. The wooden structure is matched with old photos, full of ritual, and the photos are super beautiful. Remember to take more photos 📸 🌉 Shuanglong Bridge Also known as the Seventeen-Arch Bridge, this is a landmark landscape of JianShui. Spanning the intersection of the Lujiang River and the Tachong River, it looks magnificent from a distance. There are three bridge corridors on the bridge, the middle one is large and the two sides are small, with a unique design. At dusk, the setting sun shines on the bridge, and the water is sparkling, so beautiful that you can't speak, and the photos are super beautiful! 🚉 Xianghuiqiao Station Xianghuiqiao Station is full of French style. French architecture and Chinese retro style are perfectly integrated, which is very photogenic! The roof of the station is a Chinese-style roof ridge with black tiles, but the exterior wall is a French-style stone castle. Although it is a bit old, it has a more historical flavor. 🚉 Tuanshan Station Tuanshan Station is the last stop of the train. The station building combines Chinese and Western styles and is very distinctive. From here, you can visit Tuanshan residential buildings. Most of the Tuanshan residential buildings were built in the late Qing Dynasty, with typical "three courtyards and one screen wall" and "four courtyards and five patios" forms, with white walls and black tiles, exquisite and beautiful.

I strongly recommend you to visit Mile in winter, which is definitely the best choice for reverse tourism! I used to think Dali was a beautiful place, but when I stepped into Mile, I realized what a truly charming niche place is. This place is called the Morocco of China by many people, with a comfortable temperature of 21°C all year round! There are many excellent attractions here, such as Dongfengyun in Mile, and Puzhehei, the filming location of the TV series Eternal Love. You can take photos and get countless likes on WeChat Moments. ❇ Unique niche experience: Enjoy the world cultural heritage Samaba Rice Terraces/Yuanyang Rice Terraces, look for food in Jianshui Ancient Town, take a meter-gauge train, and make pottery in Ant Workshop. 🚄 My Southeast Yunnan vacation itinerary: 🔹D1: Kunming - Mile The tour guide picked us up at the airport and then went to Dongfengyun Farm in Mile, also known as the "Oriental Kaleidoscope". It took the owner of this building 8 years to build it. Enjoy the architectural art of the master in the magical red brick castle! 🔹D2: Mile - Jianshui Morning: Go to Ant Workshop in Jianshui to experience the purple pottery culture. The buildings here are colorful and full of imagination, with a strong visual impact!

Afternoon: Arrive at Shitouzhai Village, and finally stroll along the quiet Fuxian Lake to enjoy the sunset. 🔹D5: Fuxian Lake - Kunming - Return Kunming and Fuxian Lake are also great vacation destinations, where you can experience the sea and relax... 🏷 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬 🎈 Compared with popular cities in Yunnan, there are fewer tourists on this route, so you can choose it to avoid the crowds in peak season. 🎈 The ultraviolet rays in Yunnan are strong all year round, so remember to bring a hat 🧢 and sunglasses. 🎈 The temperature difference between day and night is large.

🍜Jianshui is a frequent guest on food shows and is often picked up by programs such as "A Bite of China". It is said that the sweet well water💦 in the ancient city is the secret of Jianshui's delicious food. The dense tofu and sweet grass sprout rice noodle soup probably all come from this 🍜The Dabanjing in the west of the ancient city has the famous ancient well Pubo Spring, which has supplied drinking water to the people in the city for hundreds of years. In the evening, people still throw buckets of water into the well in an endless stream, which is a corner of the daily life of the people. The popular Banjing Tofu Shop is right opposite the door. The well water makes the tofu pudding dense and unforgettable. 🍜Southeast Yunnan loves tofu and also loves barbecue. Waiting for the tofu to expand around the stall, and then having a bowl of papaya water to relieve the greasiness, or sitting around the barbecue stall with a few friends at night, chewing on roasted beef jerky, perfect❤️ As a foodie, searching for local delicacies in the streets and alleys is the first step in traveling. Come to Jianshui and enjoy simple delicacies at a low price, which is the daily life of ordinary people. 🎯Banjing Tofu Shop: No. 26, Xizheng Street, Jianshui County. There are great well water tofu pudding and fried tofu 🎯Golden Old Flavor: No. 77, Yinghui Road, Jianshui County.

Yunnan rice noodles and barbecue are very popular #A Bite of China #Where to go on weekends

🌞Yunnan, a major tourist province, has a variety of landforms and landscapes, and it is not too much to spend 30 days there. Jianshui, the starting point of this trip to southeast Yunnan, was built by people from the south of the Yangtze River who migrated south. They built their distant homeland based on the image of their hometown Lin'an, and traces of the ancient Jiangnan can be seen everywhere. 🍜With the power of food, Jianshui has been picked up many times by "A Bite of China". Jianshui grilled tofu, barbecue 🍖, steamed chicken 🐔, Yunnan rice noodles, let you indulge in the fireworks of the world. Even the prices are very touching. It can be called a paradise for foodies❤️ 🚂You can take a small train from Lin'an Station outside the ancient city of Jianshui and slowly pass through the countryside, which is full of French style. You can also walk slowly and take photos on the rails, then cross the Shuanglong Bridge to feel the breath of history. Take a city walk in the evening, walk on the bluestone slabs to experience the daily life of the locals, and then climb up to the ancient city to watch the sunset🌇 Leaving Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, everything seems to be much slower. Why not go to Jianshui to take a break and regain the long-lost sense of relaxation❤️ #A Bite of China

After a full day of exploring the sights, sounds and smells of Jianshui, it was absolutely imperative that we had a good meal to finish of a fulfilling day. While walking through what seemed to be Jianshui’s Main Street of the main tourist area, we stumbled across this cute looking restaurant that we just had to check out. It had a really pretty exterior, and was full of diners ordering their dinner. As Jianshui is known for tofu, of course we ordered tofu (which was delicious!) as well as some beef (that was kinda like jerky, and a bit spicy) alongside some greens fried with garlic. If you manage to get a table overlooking the street, do! It was beautiful. Find it: 香满楼(临安路店), Jianshui. 翰林街63号附6号(朱家花园大门前行 50米） #grouptravel

While exploring Jianshui’s surprising number of intriguing attractions, my guide mentioned that visiting the Jianshui Old City Train would be worth the excursion. Turns out, he was right! While this century old gauge railway no longer actually serves passengers anymore, there is a tourist train that runs through it twice a day. It was fun to spend an hour just wandering the tracks, gaze upon vintage looking items and explore the surroundings of the area. It’s a great little spot for making use of their photo opportunities too. In total, I think I spent an hour here just wandering and taking photos! Would you visit this location? #solotravel

Hidden within the depths of Yunnan Province, I was in and around the area of Yuanyang to see the rice terraces. Of course, with some extra time to spend exploring other areas, I just had to check out nearby villages. Tuanshan Village is a traditional walled village in Yunnan province. Originally a mining center in days of old, it still features well-preserved residences you can dip into, temples and ancestral halls to admire and friendly locals to meet. This village was also listed on the 2006 World’s Monuments Watch for being a rare surviving example of a traditional walled village in Yunnan province! #solotravel

Covering an area of 1,885 square meters, the Royal Titled Zhang’s Mansion is a two-row residential compound located in Tuanshan Village in Jiansui, Yunnan Province. While touring the village, we were invited inside to look at the incredible architecture of the place. From golden plaques to intricate woodcarved windows, it was a nice place to wander through and explore, imagining the lives of those who lived here for generations. Unfortunately we were not able to learn much about the history of the place while there, even the signage was not very conducive to telling the full story of the mansion. Find it: 54 Jianshui Tuanshan Village #solotravel

You can take the excursion train in Jianshui and this village will be the last station. You will have 1,5/2 hours to stroll around and explore the small streets, traditional buildings and temples and gardens. There are a lot of beautiful woodcarvings to be seen and it’s an interesting cultural experience. It’s a tranquil place with lots of greenery. There are also interesting trees and plants in the village. If you are into photography and history it’s a good place to explore and take photos of the details you see all around. If you take the excursion train, it will take you back to Jianshui after your stroll through Tuanshan.

💚When you come to Jianshui, besides eating and drinking in the ancient city of Jianshui, you must take the Jianshui train. 💚This is the only private railway in Chinese history, and it is a meter-gauge railway that has experienced a century of vicissitudes. 💚There are four stations along the way: Lin'an Station, Shuanglong Bridge Station, Xianghui Bridge Station, and Tuanshan Station. 💚The wooden carriages, elegant wall lamps, and the combination of Chinese and French styles all reveal a strong sense of the old days. #Outing and flower viewing is just in time

Walking through a village is one thing, but being invited to experience someone’s way of life is something we are always grateful for. We love how open a lot of people we meet can be, and this was no different during a visit to Tuanshan Village in Yunnan province. While exploring the small streets, clay-built houses and marvelling at the incredible view of the rice terraces nearby, we witnessed all of the locals coming together to eat outside. It was a special day for them, celebrating the life of one of their own who had recently passed. ⠀ ⠀ A sorrowful day for many, but when gathered together with tables full of food, they still managed to find that silver lining on the grey clouds and find the space within their hearts to welcome us in to see their way of life that little bit closer.⠀ ⠀ 📍Tuanshan Village, Yunnan Province, China #leaveyourmark

Zhu’s Family Garden.⠀ ⠀ An architectural complex that simply oozes elegance. With over 100 years of family history, the Zhu Family Garden is an incredible place to wander through, but can often feel like a bit of a maze. It took 30 years to complete, and the entire garden covers an incredible 20,000 square meters. With 42 different courtyards to explore, you could easily spend half a day here just exploring all the different nooks and crannies, and pretending (or wishing) that you owned a garden as elaborate as this one.⠀ ⠀ 📍Zhu Family Garden, Jianshui, Yunnan Province #leaveyourmark

After spending so much time in Sichuan, I always yearned to experience different landscapes and cultures. This time, I took my two little princesses on a trip to Jianshui, Yunnan. The ancient city walls, old wells, and bluestone-paved roads there exude a historical charm, as if every brick and tile whispers stories of the past. And on this land full of tales, we found the perfect place to stay—Heyuan Hotel in Jianshui County. 🏡【A Home Across Time】 Stepping through the hotel's gate felt like entering a meticulously crafted work of art. The architecture features a "one entrance, three courtyards" design, perfectly replicating the style of Qing Dynasty residences, with every detail reflecting the craftsmen's dedication. Particularly noteworthy is the "Jianchuan Wood Carving Collection," which is not only a visual feast but also radiates a warm, homely atmosphere. The kids ran around happily here, seemingly enchanted by the serene beauty, becoming even more well-behaved than usual! 📸【Poetry and Wanderlust Through the Lens】 If you're a photography enthusiast, this place is a must-visit! Whether it's the first rays of morning sunlight bathing the courtyard or the tranquil corners illuminated by lanterns at night, every scene is worthy of a masterpiece. The exquisite wood carvings, especially under natural light, are incredibly photogenic—just a casual snap could earn you countless likes on social media! 🌳【Adventures Right at Your Doorstep】 The hotel's prime location is another standout feature. Just a short walk away is Zitao Street, where an array of handicrafts will dazzle your eyes. Nearby, Wulong Lake Ecological Park is perfect for family strolls, bike rides, or picnics. The surrounding area also offers a rich selection of local delicacies, satisfying our taste buds to the fullest—especially the local barbecue, which is absolutely unforgettable! 🛏️【Indulging in Quality Living】 After a busy yet fulfilling day, returning to the room offers a high-quality lodging experience. Soft music plays through the BOSE sound system, the American King Koil mattress ensures ultimate comfort, and top-tier bathroom fixtures from Germany's Hansgrohe and Duravit make all travel fatigue vanish instantly. What’s more, the hotel thoughtfully provides kid-friendly amenities, making our whole family feel right at home. A hotel that blends cultural heritage with modern comfort is truly a rare gem for travelers. If you're planning a spontaneous family getaway, consider Heyuan Hotel in Jianshui County!
