👍️Recommended reasons: Outside the hustle and bustle of the world, there is a piece of pure land that time has not forgotten - Shaxi Ancient Town. Every Friday's market day is a unique rhythm of life here, with fresh fruits and vegetables, authentic local specialties, and those woven bamboo baskets filled not only with items but also with love and persistence for life. The sight of an old lady carrying a basket on her back, eating and shopping, is the warmest touch in this picture of earthly life. At night, everything is silent, accompanied only by the starry sky and the breeze, making one forget the hustle and bustle and indulge in this rare tranquility and beauty. 📅Travel Guide: Pioneer Bookstore: Stroll between the fields and encounter this perfect blend of book fragrance and nature, enjoying a quiet reading time. Matchstick Coffee: Remember to book in advance, a cup of coffee, a leisurely afternoon, waiting for you to savor slowly. Mountain Wind Courtyard: Explore the wonderful combination of dyeing workshop and treehouse, feeling the collision of tradition and modernity. Three-One Coffee: Attic swing, accompanied by beautiful scenery, every sip of coffee is filled with romantic atmosphere.
