Brief introduction of Shuhe ancient town

Shuhe Ancient Town, located in the northwest of Old Town of Lijiang, is an important post station on the ancient tea-horse road.

The ancient town is surrounded by mountains and waters, and its structural layout is similar to that of Dayan Ancient City, with scattered houses, flowing water between lanes and beautiful environment. What is rare is that due to the late development of tourism, Shuhe ancient town is much quieter and more quaint than Dayan ancient town.

From the carved beams to the large archway with the words "Shuhe Ancient Town" hanging on it, walk along the stone road with shops on both sides and go all the way to the center of the ancient town. Like Dayan Ancient Town, it is also called Sifang Street. At that time, Sifang Street was the place where caravans traded furs and furs. Now there are all kinds of shops around Sifang Street, and you can vaguely feel the prosperity of that year.

Go upstream along the stream on Sifang Street, cross Qinglong Bridge, and a bay of clear and green pool water is on the side of the road. This is the source of the stream: Jiuding Longtan. A large number of rainbow trout grow in the pond. Because of the biting meltwater of Yulong Snow Mountain, it has become a natural breeding ground for rainbow trout. Longquan Temple, also known as Sansheng Palace, was built beside the pool and is dedicated to Sun Bin, the founder of the cobbler. Climbing up the hillside behind Sanxian Palace, there is a relatively open flat land, which is a good place to overlook the panoramic view of the ancient town.

The Tea Horse Ancient Road Museum, located in Zhonghe Road, an ancient town, is a place worth visiting. The museum was originally a part of the wooden toast "Shuhe Bieyuan". It mainly introduces the history of the ancient tea-horse road, including the tea-horse trade, fur trade and the origin of the cobbler in Shuhe, so as to have a simple understanding of the history of Shuhe. In addition, the mural exhibition hall should not be missed. There are 6 murals in Dajue Palace on display, all painted in the Ming Dynasty. Although it is later than the white sand mural, it is also superb.

The area of the ancient town is very small, and there are many restaurants and bars in the town. You don't have to worry about catering when you visit the ancient town. When you are tired, find a small shop and eat some local products, such as chicken jelly, rice enema and rainbow trout. Because the ancient town is not restricted by many conditions such as "world cultural heritage", the architectural style of many inns is very unique. If you are entangled in the hustle and bustle of Dayan ancient town, you may wish to stay here for a few days and feel the leisure of Shuhe ancient town. Near the old Sifang Street is a place where accommodation is relatively concentrated, which is quiet, different from the noise at the entrance of the ancient town.
