Shaxi Ancient Town Travel Guide

Shaxi Ancient Town must-visit 5 spots 1. Ancient Stage. This stage is a landmark building of Shaxi, with its intricate carvings and exquisite murals, one can feel the profound historical accumulation. 2. Yujin Bridge. If the Ancient Stage is the representative of Shaxi, then Yujin Bridge is the soul of Shaxi. It was not only the main passage for horse caravans entering Shaxi from Dali in the past, but also the best spot for photographing the morning mist of Shaxi. 3. Sideng Street. There are many interesting shops on this street, where you can find favorite wood carvings, stone decorations, tea, and even Yunnan coffee. 4. Ouyang Courtyard. This courtyard is a hidden surprise in the alley, very quiet inside, and is a traditional Bai ethnic architecture. The entrance porch doesn't look very impressive, but once you step inside, you find it's quite spacious, probably the private residence of a local wealthy family. 5. Pioneer Bookstore. This bookstore is not located inside Shaxi Ancient Town, but halfway up the hill outside the town. The interior decoration of the store is antique, and there are books with local Yunnan characteristics, worth visiting.
