When it comes to tourism in Yunnan, Lijiang is a city that cannot be avoided. It has magnificent natural scenery, ancient and simple Naxi culture, and many ancient towns. Among them, Dayan Ancient City is the most popular one among tourists. However, it is not the earliest town built by the Naxi people. Judging from the data, the Naxi people built Baisha earlier, followed by Shuhe, and finally built Dayan.
Baisha still retains its relatively primitive style, Dayan is very commercial, and only Shuhe strikes a good balance between the two.
Because Dayan Ancient City is located in the urban area of Lijiang and has been a local administrative center and economic center in modern times, prosperity is a matter of course. Shuhe, which has lost its administrative functions, presents a more literary and casual side.
At present, you can still see some indigenous people in Shuhe Ancient Town, and more are businessmen who come to Lijiang from other places to do business. It is also a distribution center for holiday tourists and backpackers. Many people live in Shuhe at night and visit nearby Yulong Snow Mountain during the day., Lashihai, and Dongba secret realms. Just stay in the ancient town, sleep until you wake up naturally, have afternoon tea leisurely in the afternoon, go shopping for a while, read a few pages of books, and listen to a piece of music are also good choices.
Shuhe Ancient Town is known as the "Village Under the Peak". You can admire the majestic appearance of the Yulong Snow Mountain in different locations. It is also one of the most well-preserved ancient towns on the ancient tea-horse road. There are many boutique restaurants and clear bars in Lijiang. The consumption is moderate and not cheap, but the overall product is not bad. Restaurants are generally open from around ten o'clock in the morning until late at night. Even during the day, singers will sing, and bars are generally open at night. Walking into a restaurant casually, the melodious melody and casual singing always make people feel relaxed and like this feeling.
Although Shuhe was built earlier than Dayan and is far quieter than Dayan, its limelight has always been overshadowed by Dayan and cannot become Lijiang's number one popular tourist destination. In addition to geographical advantages, cultural atmosphere is a key point. Relatively speaking, Dayan is more like a big melting furnace, with everything, while Shuhe retains more authenticity. It is suitable for vacations and stays, and is most popular among literary and artistic men and women. At least I would like to stay here for a few days.
The restaurants in Shuhe Ancient Town are very unique. This time I went to the hottest gourmet restaurant in Lijiang and frequented by celebrities and had a meal of delicious food. It felt really good. There were many kinds of delicious food, and the key thing was that the taste was very good. Not to mention, she is definitely a king-level existence. The boss lady is also a tall and single beauty. She is also quite enthusiastic. It is definitely worth eating in Shuhe Ancient Town!
