In the countryside of Xiaocheng, you can see the tranquility of time

Compared to the commercial atmosphere of Dali Ancient City, Shaxi has always maintained its 'original intention'. The buildings in the ancient city are basically original, with well-arranged eaves, crooked stone roads, and leisurely air, which is really beautiful. ———————————————————————————— 🚉Travel strategy: Self-driving from Dali Ancient City, it takes 2.5 hours. The highway is flat all the way, very convenient. There is a paid parking lot at the entrance of Shaxi Ancient Town, with a maximum charge of 20, which is very cheap. 🗓Itinerary: 1️⃣You can stroll around in the ancient city. If you want to take pictures, you can go to the small alleys where there are fewer people. But the main street has many original small shops, coffee, restaurants, it's very convenient for eating, drinking and shopping. 2️⃣If you have more time, it is recommended to walk around the outskirts, there are still many local villagers, you can feel the more primitive Shaxi. 3️⃣Jianchuan is a small village 10 minutes drive from Shaxi Ancient Town. The famous Pioneer Bookstore is here. You can also see a large field of rice here, which is also very beautiful. ⏳Play time: If you go back and forth from Dali in one day, it's enough; but if you want to slow down, you can stay in Shaxi for one or two nights, there are many good homestays. 🍽Dining recommendations: There are many small restaurants in the ancient city, and I personally think the taste is not bad. There are many seasonal mushrooms, you can try.
