The most mysterious corner of Yunnan that should not be forgotten | Lushi Ancient Town

| Lushi Ancient Town. The first town of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, one of the three mysterious ancient towns in China, is the little-known label of Lushi Ancient Town. It still hides in the hot wave of Yunnan tourism, hidden in the depths of the mountains. The place where Lushi Ancient Town is located, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the south is the Lancang River, the east is the Yangbi River, and the north is the Heihui River, making the high mountains and flowing water of Lushi hidden in the world. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the local governments of Nanzhao and Dali communicated with Tubo. Yunnan's tea was transported to Tibet and other places along the "Ancient Tea Horse Road" during the Qing Dynasty. By the Qianlong period, with the improvement of transportation conditions, Lushi Ancient Town became an important silk post station and accommodation post station in the western Yunnan region. As a major town where the Ancient Tea Horse Road converges, countless merchants and horse teams stay here, tea, silk, medicinal materials and various kinds of goods from all over the place gather here, and various cultures blend here. This makes the architectural style of Lushi Ancient Town a blend of Dali Bai architectural style and Nanzhao architectural style, "half is a mountain village and half is a city, it can be a farmhouse or a business" is the most appropriate description of the architectural group of Lushi Ancient Town. Today's Lushi Ancient Town spreads out from the center of Sifang Street, forming a "three streets, seven alleys, and one square" layout. Such an excellent layout makes Lushi Ancient Town an excellent feng shui treasure. You must go to eat the Lushi town flavor in Lushi Ancient Town. The taste of the dishes is super delicious. There are pickles made by yourself in the yard, dried vegetables drying, and many jars of pickled tofu on the second floor, which are particularly full of life. There are also grandpas selling tea along the street, grandmas selling fried goods such as twists, and small shops selling ancient vinegar and soy sauce. They are all businesses full of life and ethnic culture. Walking on the stone road of the ancient town, you can see many marks trampled by horses, these marks have existed for a thousand years. In such a town forgotten by time, only the still scars are left, two twists and a bowl of thin bean powder are the most romantic appearance of Lushi Ancient Town. Travel Surrounding TourTravel
