Is Shaxi in Dali fun?

It is a bit difficult to drive on the winding mountain road for more than half an hour. After bypassing the mountains, suddenly a small plain appeared in front of us, which is where the ancient town of Shaxi is located. It feels like you have found a paradise. The ancient town is not big and has preserved its old appearance very well. It feels like you have returned to the old times. The town is very quiet, but many foreigners find it here. In the early morning, many photographers squat by the stream outside the village. People who know it will understand. It is very suitable for staying and relaxing there.

Because Shaxi is remote, the original appearance of the ancient town is still relatively well preserved. Shaxi is really small, with only Sideng Street being all it has. But every step I took, I wanted to stop and was reluctant to continue. After turning a corner, we arrived at Sifang Street. An old locust tree stood quietly in the middle, and the ancient stage restored by foreign friends stood behind it with smooth and smooth lines. He is the soul of Shaxi Ancient Town, with a front desk and a back pavilion, and a pattern of cornices and corners, standing under the blue sky for hundreds of years. Can you imagine that in such a remote countryside, there could be such gorgeous buildings in the distant Qing Dynasty.

Shaxi Ancient Town is located between Dali and Lijiang, but it does not have the excessive commercialization of Dali and Lijiang. It is a bit like Shuhe ten years ago. It exudes a quaint atmosphere, and everything is so primitive and old. The small river and ancient stage next to the town seem to tell the history of the town, while the homemade yogurt in the shop and the stylish inn show the future of the town. In short, I have one suggestion for this kind of ancient town: If you want to go there, you should go there as early as possible, otherwise it will change the taste if you go there too late.

It happened to be the off-season when we went there. The car was parked in the parking lot outside the ancient town. When we walked in, we found that there were not many people and the ancient town was clean and distant. The sound of horse bells is accompanied by the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground, from far to near and then from near to far, making people feel like they have traveled through time. There are tourists in twos and threes in bars and coffee shops, and dogs wandering everywhere. "This is the real slow life," I couldn't help but sigh. Compared with Lijiang, it is more primitive and pure. It is said that this is the most complete post station on the Tea Horse Road. It has not been over-commercialized, there are no crowds, and there is no hustle and bustle of other ancient towns. Here we almost forget the time and the trivial matters in life. troubles, everything becomes so simple, and it feels like returning to nature.

A quiet town with an antique flavor. There are delicious skin-on beef hot pots, potatoes, milk fans, and Erbang cubes...it's cheap and delicious. The old man selling snacks on the roadside can also play the guitar. , lazy puppy, the stars are shining at night, bring your drawing board and SLR, there are flavorful scenery everywhere here, and the villagers are simple and enthusiastic.

Beautiful and quiet. It's suitable for relaxing. When the weather is good, read a good book, a cup of coffee, and stroll the streets in the early morning or dusk. This is simply life. Shaxi Ancient Town is a place with just the right amount of commercialization. Everything is convenient and the style of the ancient town is preserved.
