Under the mysterious veil of Yunnan lies an ancient city unknown to the world—Jianchuan Ancient City

Under the mysterious veil of Yunnan lies an ancient city unknown to the world—Jianchuan. Here, it is the white moonlight of Yunnan in my heart.🌔 🌬️No matter how wild the wind of Shaxi is, Jianchuan remains as tranquil as ever, as if it is the last living ancient city in Yunnan. Jianchuan has finally been crowned as a famous historical and cultural city in China. Although it came a bit late, it is even more precious. The Ming and Qing buildings still stand tall here, and the shops follow the rhythm of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Prices are friendly, and the two stone carvings, though niche, are rich in content. Xu Xiake lingered here hundreds of years ago, and today, Jianchuan's tranquil charm remains undiminished. ❗Practical Information: 🚌Transportation: There are daily buses from Dali directly to Jianchuan. 🏡Accommodation: The homestays around Zaojie Street are transformed from traditional residences, offering a unique charm. 🗺️Overview of a four-day, three-night trip to Jianchuan: 1: Stroll in Jianchuan Ancient City and feel the tranquility of the ancient city. 2: Visit the Shizhongshan Grottoes and experience Jianchuan's most important historical mark. 3: Shaxi Ancient Town, feel the unique charm of the Tea Horse Road. 4: Return to Dali or head to Lijiang to end this unforgettable journey. 📋❿Jianchuan Travel Tips, Not to Be Missed: ❶ Jianchuan and Shaxi, two pearls of the Tea Horse Road, with ancient road relics everywhere. ❷ Walking in the ancient city, a good pair of shoes is essential.
