Tired of Dali? This forgotten little town is Yunnan's last surprise!

Such a strong aftereffect! I have to declare, the final stop after Dali is Shaxi! 💥

If Dali's romantic scenery represents Yunnan, Shaxi feels more like the land's last gentle gift. 🍂

📍Location: Shaxi Ancient Town is located in the southeast of Jianchuan County, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province, 120 kilometers from Dali Ancient City, about a 2-hour drive.

Here, the spirit of the Ancient Tea Horse Road is still alive in the market, and it’s the authentic filming location of "To the Windy Place." No noise, no forced commercial atmosphere, time seems to slow down here 🕰️

✨In Shaxi, I found the slow life of my dreams:
- Stroll through the ancient theater square and feel the charm of 700 years of history
- Check out the unique shops on Sifang Street and find a special handmade souvenir
- Sit in a café under the big locust tree and spend the whole afternoon reading a book
- Wait for the evening bell of the ancient temple and watch the sunset cast a golden filter over the old town 🌇

🍵Foodie must-visits:
✓ Fuxing Restaurant: local favorite, Bai ethnic flavors
✓ Shaxi Mountain Goods Shop: super fresh wild mushrooms
✓ Universe Bakery: countryside style, super trendy
