Free Lijiang Shuhe Ancient Town | You really know how to enjoy yourself!

Address: Shuhe Ancient Town, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province Shuhe, in the Naxi language, is called 'Shaowu'. Shuhe Ancient Town, also known as Longquan Village, is named after the mountain behind the village, Jubaoshan, which resembles a piled peak. The name of the village comes from the mountain, and over time it has evolved to mean 'the village under the high peak'. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, the ancestors of the Naxi people migrated and settled here, making it one of the earliest Naxi settlements in the Lijiang basin. By the Song and Yuan dynasties, it had already formed into a market town. The 'Yuan Yitongzhi' refers to it as 'Shuhe'. During the Ming dynasty, it was called 'Shuhe Courtyard'. After the Qing dynasty, it became known as 'Shuhe'. Today, it still retains the cultures of the Tea Horse Road, agriculture, Naxi people, and ecology. The commercial atmosphere here is not as strong, making it more suitable for tourists to visit and enjoy.
