Take you to see the ancient city full of vicissitudes and mystery!

Jianchuan Ancient City Jianchuan Ancient City was built at the end of the Zhizheng period of the Yuan Dynasty (1341-1370 AD), with a history of over 650 years. It is one of the ancient cities in Yunnan Province that retains the most complete Ming Dynasty layout and the most Qing Dynasty buildings. Jianchuan Ancient City is located in the northwest of Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province, and was originally the administrative seat of Jianchuan Prefecture during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The ancient city has a long history and rich cultural heritage, having endured many vicissitudes while retaining its ancient appearance. The streets and alleys built during the Ming Dynasty still maintain their original directions, scales, and layouts. Over 90% of the ancient residential buildings are preserved, including more than 40 Ming Dynasty buildings and 146 Qing Dynasty buildings. These ancient buildings have strong Bai architectural characteristics, reflecting the dominance of Ming and Qing Confucian thought in the Bai area, as well as the ancient city's special position as a transit station on the Ancient Tea Horse Road The cuisine of Jianchuan Ancient City is rich and diverse, making one's mouth water. Among them, the Bai Three Dishes of Jianchuan are particularly famous, including clear stewed and braised native chicken, fried colorful potatoes, and clear soup stewed radish. Each dish showcases the natural deliciousness of Jianchuan ingredients and the wisdom of Bai cooking. In addition, the Eight Bowls, a local dish served to guests or during sacrifices, consists of eight bowls of delicacies with a mix of meat and vegetables, carrying profound meanings. There's also Wang's Cold Noodles, loved for its delicate texture and unique seasoning
