Unveiling the end of Dali! This 0.5x speed hidden paradise is so healing～

If you have watched "To the Windy Place," you definitely can't miss its real filming location—Shaxi Ancient Town! Only 100 kilometers from Dali, this is the most beautiful and gentle secret of Yunnan～

🏮Millennium Tea Horse Road · Hidden Paradise
Shaxi is the only well-preserved ancient market town on the Tea Horse Road. The weathered stone slabs on Sideng Street bear the marks of time. There are no noisy tourists here, almost zero commercial atmosphere, and even time seems to flow at 0.5x speed🚶‍♀️

📍Shaxi Ancient Town Address: Jianchuan County, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture

9:00｜Listen to the sound of horse hooves by the Heihui River
Stroll along the marks of the Tea Horse Road, the best BGM is the echo of hooves on the stone slabs (The golden leaves in P4 are so beautiful!)

Under the tie-dye cloth made by a Bai grandmother, enjoy a cup of hand-brewed coffee and watch the sunlight filtering through the plane trees, sparkling✨

Golden waves of wheat sway in the wind, every shot looks like a cinematic masterpiece (P5 is a must-check-in angle!)
