Tourists from Dayan Ancient City in Lijiang said they would not go there again. The ancient town of Shuhe next door is popular, but the key is still quiet

Yunnan is a plateau with a particularly dry climate. This time, with IPSA , you can replenish water 24 hours a day without interruption at any time.

Guangdong tourists visiting Lijiang said they would never go again unless they went to Shuhe Ancient Town. Shuhe is an ancient town that is more "authentic" than Dayan Ancient City in Lijiang. It is one of the earliest settlements of Naxi farmers in Lijiang Bazi. It is also an important well-preserved market town on the "Ancient Tea Horse Road".

The "Tea Horse Ancient Road" was founded by selling tea. Tibetans live on the plateau and have no vegetables. They feed on beef, mutton and milk all day long. High-fat food is difficult to digest. During their interactions with the inland areas, Tibetans discovered a fried and fermented leaf produced by Sichuan and Yunnan people. Add milk and butter to boil, which helps to relieve greasiness after drinking. However, it is impossible to grow such plants in Tibetan areas, making trafficking of Yunnan and Sichuan tea a very profitable business.

Agriculture in the mainland is developed, and every inch of land has been developed into farmland. Every inch of land has been developed into farmland. There are no grasslands or wasteland for grazing a large number of mules and horses. Exchange of tea for horses has become a common demand of both parties. Shuhe Ancient Town is close to Tibetan areas and has become an important market for the "Tea and Horse Exchange".

Well-preserved market towns on the ancient tea-horse road

Over time, among the scattered buildings, Shuhe Ancient Town still retains the original Naxi style, while the stone slabs of Qinglong Bridge shine brightly, which must be due to how many horses and people have walked on it.

On the edge of Jiuding Dragon Pool, you can also see vegetable fields between trees and rivers, and purple and yellow flowers bloom from time to time. Say goodbye to the impatience and hustle of the city, basking in the sun in the ancient town of Shuhe and listening to the sound of the water, the time is so peaceful and beautiful!

In Shuhe Ancient Town, horses can be seen everywhere. At the gate of Shuhe River, or next to this small market, there are many horses basking in the sun, waiting for the arrival of guests. In Shuhe Ancient Town, many people can often be seen riding horses or riding horse-drawn carriages, shuttling along bluestone roads.

Many times, people driving cars or leading horses will enthusiastically introduce tourists to the more interesting places in Shuhe Ancient Town, such as Sifang Tingyin, Qinglong Bridge, etc. In this process, you can not only feel the remaining charm of the ancient tea-horse road, but also see where there are delicious and fun places in Shuhe Ancient Town. Many people get off the horse and can't wait to experience it.

The stone slabs on the street, which have been trampled smooth and smooth by people and horses, seem to still reflect the prosperity of the past. The square is surrounded by shops, and the ancient wooden facades are painted in dark red paint.

Jiuding Longtan, also known as Longquan, is actually composed of two spring ponds of different sizes separated by a pavilion in the middle. The water in the pool looks green due to the water plants at the bottom of the pool, and the fish swimming in the pool are clearly visible. Jiuding Longtan was originally one of the eight old scenic spots in Shuhe River. Most of the other scenery are no longer there today, but Jiuding Longtan remains the same.

The Qinglong Bridge was built during the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 400 years. It is all built of stones and is listed as the largest ancient stone bridge in Lijiang. The deck of Qinglong Bridge has been washed by hundreds of years of wind and rain, making it mottled and old, but without losing its heroic momentum and solemnity.

The Naxi people are accustomed to building cities on mountains. Streets are built along streams and run in irregular directions. However, there is a square square in the center of each town as a trading market, called "Sifang Street". Shuhe Sifang Street is only more than 30 meters long and wide. There are five roads leading to all directions. It is one of the oldest markets in Lijiang Bazi.

In the afternoon, we found a coffee hall and enjoyed it well. We stayed for the entire afternoon. The rhythm of life in Shuhe was really suitable for finding a petty bourgeoisie shop. Staying there for the afternoon was really not tired of it. I liked this kind of life so much. This is also one of the charms of Shuhe. You must experience this kind of life when you go to Shuhe.

Everyone liked this restaurant we went to. The juice was delicious, the coffee was good, and the dessert Xiao Bao liked it very much. The children wouldn't get tired of staying in it all afternoon. It was so tempting! Be sure to experience it!

First of all, the temperature difference between morning and evening in Lijiang is large, and it is now autumn, so you must choose a residence with air conditioning or floor heating. Secondly, in terms of style, choosing one that is more distinctive, suitable for taking photos, and cost-effective, I believe it will add a better experience to travel.

The environment and facilities are complete, the beds, quilts and pillows are very comfortable, the toilet is separated from dry and wet, and environmental protection is attached great importance to, toilet paper and tooth wipes are made of bamboo materials, and the toiletries are all made of foreign fine brands. There is a small fountain in the courtyard, which makes the night view the most beautiful

Among these flowers, the most famous one is the yellow locust tree called "Huanghua Cassia". Its origin in West India, because the flowers of the yellow locust tree are bright yellow, they look like small butterflies parked on the treetops. From a distance, they are bright and eye-catching and have high ornamental value. In order to see this strange flower, many people came to Tinghuatang to check in.

We have lived in the city for a long time, and the pace of doing things is a way of running. It is very hard to work hard. It seems that if we stop, we will miss something. But in Lijiang, such leisurely time is wasted. Listen to the ticking of the hour hand and let the time pass slowly!
