Shaxi|Yunnan's Last Tenderness, Come Here to Have a Dream with the Wind

Dali is all about wind, flowers, snow, and moonlight✨
But Shaxi, 100 kilometers away, is Yunnan's final gift of tenderness to the world~
Here hides the life I long for🍂

🌄【Must-Do Experiences】
√ The Morning Mist Wonderland at Yujin Bridge
At 7 AM, visit this century-old stone bridge built in the Ming Dynasty (Address: Entrance of Shaxi Ancient Town)
Watch the morning mist drift over the bridge; every shot is a masterpiece
ps: Wearing a white long dress makes the photos stand out the most👗

√ Lazy Time by the Heihui River
Stroll along the Ancient Tea Horse Road
Listen to the clip-clop of horse hooves and the babbling water
This is the original soundtrack of life🎵

√ Artsy Afternoon Tea at the Ancient Opera Stage
Address: Sideng Street Central Square
Sit under the 600-year-old opera stage
Order a local rose latte☕
Watch Bai grandmothers doing tie-dye; time softens

√ Golden Sunset at Dongzhaimen
Best viewing spot: Dongzhaimen Rice Field Viewing Platform
Golden waves of wheat, cattle and sheep returning home
Like stepping into a Studio Ghibli animation world🌾
