Shaxi Ancient Town | Being a One-Day Guest in a Yunnan Old House

When the rocking rhythm of the wicker chair syncs with your heartbeat,
Even breathing turns into poetry ☁️
Sunlight filtered through century-old locust trees melts in your palm,
In the ripples stirred by koi fish tails,
You rediscover the tranquility lost in the city.


The moment the wooden door opens, time suddenly slows its pace—
"Yundu Shaxi Courtyard" hides in a corner of Shaxi Ancient Town, where the shadow of a hundred-year-old locust tree stretches over mottled stone steps. Koi fish draw jade-green arcs in the pond.


"Sleeping in Amber of Time"
▫️ Aesthetic of a century-old courtyard: carved beams and pillars narrate tales of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, while wooden structures glow warmly under sunlight.
▫️ A pool of emerald water mirrors drifting clouds; toss fish food, and koi gather like flowing silk.
▫️ The second-floor terrace overlooks endless blue-tiled roofs, with Yujin Bridge’s silhouette veiled in morning mist like an unfinished ink painting.


"Guest Rooms · Slumbering in History"
▫️ Open the window to century-old trees; 270° wooden lattices frame sunlight like a painting.


"Step into an Ancient Town Scroll"
▫️ A 3-minute walk to Sideng Street’s ancient stage, where Bai mothers hum folk tunes.
▫️ An 8-minute stroll to Yujin Bridge at dusk, watching herds of cattle shatter golden river reflections.

📍 Address: No. 106, Sideng Street, Shaxi Ancient Town, Jianchuan (precise navigation available).
