"Shaxi Ancient Town: A Living Memory of the Tea Horse Road”

#yunnanguide

🏯Hidden in the green valleys of Yunnan, Shaxi Ancient Town is one of China’s most peaceful and beautifully preserved towns — a place where time seems to pause, and every stone pathway tells a story.

Once a bustling trading stop on the Tea Horse Road, Shaxi was a vital link between Yunnan’s tea-producing regions and Tibet. For centuries, caravans of horses and traders passed through its narrow lanes, carrying tea, salt, herbs, and silk. Today, that history still lingers — not just in the architecture, but in the spirit of the town itself. 🌿

Today, Shaxi isn’t just a historical treasure — it’s a destination of the heart. The town gained new attention as a filming location for the beloved Chinese drama “Meet Yourself” (去有风的地方), where its peaceful atmosphere and scenic beauty perfectly captured the spirit of slowing down and reconnecting with life.🎞️🎬

Cherry blossoms bloom in spring🌸, casting soft pink petals over ancient rooftops. Wisteria vines spill down whitewashed walls.Walking through Shaxi feels like stepping into a story.No wonder “Meet Yourself” chose it as a backdrop; it’s a place that invites you to pause, breathe, and simply be.

If you’re seeking the real Yunnan — peaceful, authentic, and deeply soulful — Shaxi welcomes you, just like it always has.🥰
