Strolling leisurely through the small town | The seriously underrated birthplace of the Nanzhao Kingdom

| The seriously underrated birthplace of the Nanzhao Kingdom. This place is known as 'Zhao Ling'er's hometown', the cradle of the ancient Nanzhao state. Weishan Ancient Town is small, but clean, which is a stark and pleasant contrast for someone like me who just came from XX Ancient Town. It lacks the endless stream of tourists found in other ancient towns, so it doesn't become annoyingly crowded after a short while and it's not overly commercialized. There are many interesting shops. The Xinggong Tower is beautiful for photos, and it's recommended to go early when there are fewer people. You can handprint a postcard in the shop. The Jiama Nanzhao Museum is very worthwhile. Transportation: about 20+ minutes by high-speed train Self-driving takes about an hour (the ancient town is not big, there are many parking lots around, and parking is quite convenient). Ancient town cuisine: Taste varies according to personal preference, so no recommendations are given. Itinerary: If you only have one day, it is recommended to visit Weishan Ancient Town. If you have time and like pottery cats, you can go and make one. Not far from Weishan Ancient Town, there is a small factory where you can experience making pottery cats. If you have plenty of time, you can go and make your own pottery cat~ If you're skilled, you can even create your own design. It's about a 15-minute drive, and you can also get there by taxi. If you can't make it well, you can buy one made by the factory on the spot, the prices are super friendly, and the owners are extremely nice.
