The ancient tea-horse road is the most important road for tea-horse trade in the history of our country. On this ancient road, many beautiful and touching stories have occurred, and people who have lived here for generations have also been born. On this ancient road, there is also a historic town, that is, the ancient town of Wuhe.

Shuhe Ancient Town is located in the northwest of Yunnan. In Naxi, Shuhe means "village under the peak". Behind the village is a peak. Naxi ancestors have lived here for generations, so the origin of this name. Shuhe Ancient Town is the most well-preserved town on the ancient tea-horse road. It is also the most important part of the ancient city of Lijiang and has also been rated as "China's Charming Town".

The most famous thing about Shuhe is the eight scenic spots here. The eight scenic spots refer to the night market fireflies, the moon moon at the dragon gate, the reflection of snow-capped mountains, the knocking of broken monuments, relatives in fish and water, the red leaves of the West Mountain, the night reading of stone lotus, and the smooth bridge of Yanliu. Each landscape has a different story.

Yanliuping Bridge is actually talking about Qinglong Bridge, which has a history of four hundred years. At the beginning of spring every year, new buds will grow on the willows on both sides of the bridge, as if they are rushing to the shore, so there is the saying that the smoke willows level the bridge.

Under the bridge, the reflection of the Jade Dragon Mountain can be clearly seen.

There is a broken stone tablet not far from the lake. Although the stone tablet has been broken, when you hit it with an object, it will make a clear sound. So people also call it the sound of breaking the monument. Although the scenery of broken monuments and knocking sounds is beautiful, in order to protect cultural relics, we should not try it.

People's favorite scenery is the fish in the Jiuding Dragon Pool. They are not afraid of humans. Whenever tourists feed them, they will rush out of the water, leaving a perfect arc in the air, and sometimes they will splash the water. Splash on people's faces.

So people call them fish and water relatives.

In the evening, the leaves of the lacquer trees located on the Western Hills turn bright red every autumn, as if they are in a red sea, accompanied by a little sunshine, making them beautiful.

At night, the crisscrossing Sifang Street turned into a different scene. In this ancient market, people walk on the street with lights in hand. From a distance, the lights are like flying fireflies, so it is called the night market fireflies.

Further ahead is Shilian Temple. Because there is a mountain behind the West Mountain, which is shaped like a roaring tiger. In order to contain it, local people built Shilian Temple.

During the Republic of China, night schools were held here, and a group of people gathered here to study, forming a unique scenery, so it was called Shilian Night Reading Scenery.

Another surprise in Shuhe Ancient Town is the delicious food. It is the most popular gourmet restaurant in Lijiang. This is the gourmet restaurant frequented by stars. This time, I am also going to find out. I really didn't disappoint. The environment, dishes, and service, these are all first-class. This is the only gourmet restaurant I recommend in Shuhe!

If you want to see all the eight scenic views of Shuhe River and the day will be a little stressful, then I suggest you choose a local B & B, which is affordable and has a good environment. If you also want to see the beauty of the eight scenery of Shuhe River, then invite three or five friends to come and play!
