Walking into Shuhe Ancient Town, I feel like I've seen it before. The architectural style here is the same as Dayan Ancient Town. There are also Sifang Street and Sifang Square in the same streets and alleys. It's just that the market town is smaller in scale, with fewer tourists and quieter. The square is surrounded by shops, with ancient wooden facades and dark red paint. There are also the black and bright bluestone in front of the store, the mottled stone slope road at your feet, and the elderly sitting leisurely, outlining the simple and natural nature of Shuhe River. Small bridges and flowing water can often be seen in Shuhe River, and various houses are built next to the water. It is a very pleasant thing for people to sit on the bank to enjoy the scenery or have a drink.

It is a very popular Yunnan specialty restaurant in Shuhe Ancient Town, Lijiang. It is a very good restaurant. The environment is particularly good. There is a clear stream at the door and flowers are planted around the restaurant. The little brothers in the store are very warm and considerate, will help with many things, and are very patient. The taste of the dishes is also great. I especially like the small pot of rice. The potatoes are made into crispy rice, as well as ham and green beans, which are very fragrant. Grilled fish is also very delicious, and I especially like the cauliflower inside. You can eat three bowls of rice in a small pot. Baozhi tofu must also be praised.
