Start early by exploring the UNESCO-listed Lijiang Old Town with its beautiful cobblestone streets, traditional Naxi architecture, and canals. Wander through the alleyways, visit local shops, and enjoy the scenic views.
🌺Mu’s Residence
Within the Old Town, visit Mu’s Residence, often called the “Forbidden City of Lijiang,” for a glimpse into the history of the Mu clan who once ruled the region.

A short walk from the Old Town, this park offers incredible views of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The serene pool, traditional pavilions, and bridges are perfect for some peaceful reflection.

Lijiang 3 OldTowns
#travellerwonderland
Lijiang, in Yunnan Province, China, is home to three main ancient towns, and I am pleased to manage to visit all these old towns, collectively recognized as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Old Town of Lijiang."
These three towns are:
-Dayan Ancient Town (大研古城) – The most famous and central part of Lijiang, known for its well-preserved traditional Naxi architecture, cobblestone streets, and vibrant culture. This is the biggest old town in Lijiang, with many beautiful cafes, restaurants with outstanding fresh flowers, guest houses, and temple, behind this old town is Black Dragon Pool Park.
-Shuhe Ancient Town (束河古镇) – A smaller, quieter town located about 4 kilometers northwest of Dayan, historically an important stop on the Ancient Tea Horse Road.
-Baisha Ancient Town (白沙古镇) – The oldest of the three towns and a key cultural center of the Naxi people, known for its ancient murals and serene atmosphere, with the backdrop of Jade Dragon Mountain.
These towns offer a rich blend of history, culture, and scenic beauty. Each of the old towns has its own unique charm and beauty, and they all left me wanting to come back. If you're wondering which one is the best, I'd say you really have to visit them all!

🇨🇳Travel back in time : Shuhe Ancient Town
#ancienttown #100waysoftravel
Visiting Shuhe Ancient Town in Lijiang is like stepping through a portal into the past. Nestled at the foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Shuhe is one of the best-preserved ancient towns in China and offers a glimpse into a lifestyle that has remained largely unchanged for centuries.
As I wandered through the cobbled streets of Shuhe, the rustic charm and tranquility of the town were palpable. Traditional Naxi architecture lines the narrow lanes, with wooden facades and intricately carved details that speak to the town's rich cultural heritage. The sound of water flowing through the ancient canals added to the sense of timelessness, enhancing the atmosphere of stepping back into a bygone era.
The town is smaller and less commercialized than its famous neighbor, Lijiang Old Town, which allows for a more intimate and authentic experience. Local artisans and craftsmen can be seen practicing their trades, from coppersmithing to embroidery, offering their wares in small, quaint shops. Each turn and alleyway holds a new discovery, from hidden courtyards filled with blooming flowers to cozy tea houses where you can pause and soak in the surroundings.
Dining in Shuhe is another link to its historical roots, with numerous local eateries serving traditional Naxi cuisine. Dishes like yak meat hotpot and Naxi pancakes provide a flavorful insight into the indigenous culture and culinary practices of the region.
Visiting Shuhe Ancient Town not only offers a break from the modern world but also an educational experience that connects you with the ancient traditions and peaceful lifestyle of the Naxi people. It’s a place where history is not just observed but felt, making every moment spent in Shuhe a step back in time.

Shuhe Ancient Town, nestled in the picturesque landscape of Lijiang, offers a delightful blend of cultural heritage, natural beauty, and a laid-back vibe that's perfect for a leisurely exploration. This historic town, less trodden than its neighbor Lijiang Old Town, is a gem where traditional architecture meets lush natural elements and charming local life.
One of the town's highlights is its array of cozy cafes. These quaint establishments are perfect for whiling away the hours, offering a variety of local and international coffees and teas, often accompanied by stunning views of the ancient streets and vibrant greenery. These cafes not only serve as social hubs for visitors and locals alike but also provide serene spots to enjoy the unique atmosphere that Shuhe exudes.
As you wander through the cobbled lanes, you’ll notice the town is adorned with an abundance of plants and flowers, adding bursts of color and life to the stone architecture. From hanging ivy and wildflowers to meticulously cared-for flower beds, the flora of Shuhe enhances the town’s historic charm and provides a picturesque backdrop for your stroll.
Adding to the town’s appeal are the many friendly dogs seen lounging around, basking in the sunlight. These furry residents are often seen napping peacefully by shop fronts or trotting alongside their owners, contributing to the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that Shuhe is known for.
Shuhe Ancient Town is not just a place to visit; it’s a place to unwind and soak in the slow pace of life. Whether you’re sipping coffee in a sunny cafe, admiring the lush plant life, or making friends with a local dog, Shuhe offers a tranquil escape into a beautifully preserved slice of history.

🌺 With a long history and profound cultural heritage 💥
🌿 Shuhe Ancient Town, located 4 kilometers northwest of Lijiang Old Town in Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, has a history of a thousand years. It was once an important post on the Ancient Tea Horse Road and also a living specimen of the Naxi people's transition from an agricultural civilization to a commercial one.
🌴 The ancient town preserves well the old paths, markets, and traditional residences, as well as the indigenous Naxi residents, all of which tell ancient stories and showcase a profound cultural heritage.
💐 Unique architectural style and beautiful scenery 🌟
🍂 The total building area of the ancient town reaches 400,000 square meters, among which 'Sanfang Yizhaobi' is a typical layout of Naxi residential houses. The courtyards are planted with various flowers and succulents, full of greenery and pleasing to the eye.

I've been to Lijiang 5 times in a year, just for this little riverside restaurant
You must visit Shuhe Ancient Town when you're in Lijiang!!
Because there's a hidden gem of a restaurant🍴
Right at the garden restaurant by the street~
Here, there aren't as many people as in the old town
There aren't as many shops
But what it does have is an extra dose of relaxation, a sense of comfort
The food also has a very Yunnan character
Jasmine Flower Chicken Egg meets Stone, it's my first time trying it
The egg liquid is poured onto the hot stone
The golden color appears instantly~
Inside there's the sweet scent of jasmine flowers
Every bite leaves a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth
Naxi Hand-torn Ribs
The spicy and fragrant Naxi hand-torn ribs
Cooked slowly over a low flame
The skin is crispy and charred, while the meat inside is tender and flavorful
It's really, really, really delicious!
There's also Dai-style Chicken Feet, Water Spinach, and many other delicious specialty dishes
Every time I come here, I can't bear to leave😭
🏠: Dianxuan Yunwei • Yunnan Ethnic Restaurant
🌵: Opposite the Kangpu Lane Feihua Touches Water Rural Credit Cooperative
Augus Grote
I am wondering who turned Lijiang into a fairy tale world
🎄Spring is the off-season in Yunnan, and the climate is also nice
🎄It is also the most beautiful time for scenery, don't miss the chance to take great photos📸!
🛶Travel Tips:
Clothing: You really don't need to bring too many clothes to Yunnan, just an overcoat for sun protection or for wearing at night is enough, and you can buy a nice dress in Dali ancient town for about an average price of 70 yuan, along with matching bags and shawls~😍
📌Weather: Just bring an umbrella for both sunny and rainy days, it will come in handy😄
📌It is suggested that only those who have bought tickets to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain go to Ganhaizi to see the sun shining on the golden mountain, because there is an additional charge of 100 yuan per person to enter the mountain. If you didn't get a ticket, it's recommended to go to Dongba Valley to see.
📌To climb Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, you need to grab a ticket at 8 pm the night before at 'Lijiang Tourism Group - Ticket Reservation - Snow Mountain Ticket - Glacier Park Cableway', and fill in your information in advance;
📌After climbing Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, you need to take the large cableway down, and then take a sightseeing bus to Yunsongping or Blue Moon Valley.
The large cableway should be taken according to the time slot, and if you miss the small cableway, they will still let you take it.
📌Shuhe Ancient Town: Quiet and suitable for a leisurely stroll, with beautiful alleys everywhere, the deeper you go, the more primitive and peaceful it becomes
📌Baisha Ancient Town is also great to visit, located at the foot of the snow mountain, with many coffee shops worth visiting, truly leisurely and comfortable.
📌Erhai Lake: Definitely recommend cycling in the Haxi Ecological Corridor, cars are not allowed in the ecological corridor!
📌Ideal State: You can get the feel of Santorini in Dali without going abroad, ~ take lots of great photos📸!
Regarding transportation:
✈️: Lijiang Sanyi Airport
🚄: Lijiang Station
🏠: It is recommended to stay near the ancient town

Lijiang Ancient Town- A step back in time.
Getting There -
Lijiang ancient town is located roughly 35-40 minutes from Lijiang airport by taxi.
Attractions -
For me, the best thing to do during the day is explore. I enjoyed getting lost and taking photos of the old town. To the north is Shuhe and Baisha ancient towns, which are less touristy and a little quieter. Around the towns are plenty of things to do, such as mountain top shows, the tiger leaping gorge, hiking and a few museums.
Hotels -
There are hotels to suit all budgets. There's an Intercontinental on the edge of town for luxury, or you can spend as little as 50rmb per night for a perfectly comfortable room.
Food & Restaurants -
If you love hot pot, you'll love the selection. There's also a wide variety of street food as well as buffet style restaurants.
Shopping -
If it's silver or leather you want, you'll be spoiled for choice. There are also many shops selling traditional Naxi clothes

Shuhe vs Lijiang : Battle of the Old Towns
#2023TravelWish #wintergetaway #Yunnan Travel
We visited both Shuhe and Lijiang Ancient towns to give you the honest review of both. To see our verdict on Lijiang, take a look at my previous post!
Shuhe is a little more on the outskirts of Lijiang city and immediately had more of a home grown vibe than its more commercialised older brother. We came out of season, so many places were closed, but what we did see were more places to snuggle in and have a coffee or a bottle of beer by the river. There were also a lot of interesting stores, here were some of our favourites: Vintage thrift shop, Brass Treasures, Handmade Leather Bags, Coffee Coffee Coffee!
HereComesTheSun
I Love Ancient Towns

Hotels - few dotted on the outskirts

Shuhe - a less crowded place to stay in LJ
Beautiful old city located in a suburb of Lijiang. they have mosphere here is quite nice, it’s not that overpriced as Lijiang Ancient city. Plenty of dining options, quiet, fresh air right from the nearby mountains and #staycation welcoming people make this place probably more preferable destination for travelers then the downtown.

Getaway House, 📍Lijiang
This Moroccan inspired homestay which is based in Shute Ancient Town, Lijiang is one of the breathtaking places I have stayed during my visit in Yunnan 😍
The homestay comprises of 8 bedroom, each has its own theme and colour contrast with magnificent bathtubs being the center piece of the room. The interior aesthetic is heavily inspired by Moroccan culture and the eye to detail is just eye catching 🤩🤩. The owners are really friendly and helped us a lot throughout our stay at the accommodation. They lunch menu is absolutely delicious and reasonable priced. They have an open plan courtyard where you can sit and and enjoy the atmosphere.
The homestay in at edge of Shuhe Ancient town, with a 5-10 min walk towards the pedestrian street where you see all the shops, bars and restaurants, the walk through the really amazing you can initially spend all day just walking and exploring
If your in Lijiang, stay at this place and trust me you wouldn’t be disappointed.

Shuhe old city - a hidden gem near Lijiang
Getting There - by taxi from Lijiang (20 min drive)
Attractions - shuhe old town
eat and stay at bivou (best find ever)
Shuhe old town has similar old architecture as Lijiang but it’s less touristy and truly a world heritage site. After only visiting it for a day I regret not staying there in the first place as it is a far better choice than Lijiang.
Bivou is a magical place for coffee or lunch overseeing the farmers working on the farm and the squirrels going up and down on the wires and trees. The food comes fresh from their garden and it’s all so delicious.

Lijiang’s Shuhe Ancient Town - Back in Time
📍Getting There - Taking a DiDi is the most convenient way to get there. I’m also pretty sure that you can ride a bus.
⏰ Recommended Time - I’d suggest you spend about 2-3 hours walking around enjoying the beauty of this ancient town. I was there around 10 and a lot of shops weren’t open yet so definitely go there later on. Go after 1 and the ancient town will be very lively!
🥢 Food and Restaurants - There are plenty of restaurants to choose from. There are also plenty of little shops where you can buy snacks and drinks.
Shopping- Tons of shops where you can buy souvenirs, stationeries, books, bracelets, etc.

A relaxed version of Lijiang
Shuhe is an ancient Naxi town near Lijiang. There are shuttle buses running from Lijiang or it costs about 40 Yuan in a taxi. There are lots of hip and retro cafes bars to relax with live music. There are lots of interesting narrow streets especially near the river and temple area. A coffee will cost you 45 rmb, crazy expensive. I'd rather stay here than Lijiang Old Town, it's much quiter and chilled out. There is also a music performance in the square during the evenings.

Shuhe Old Town near Lijiang
The Bivou is a small hostal and restaurant located in Shuhe Old Town, around 20 minutes from Lijiang Old Town. Shuhe Old Town May not be as big as Lijiang Omd Town (and without hills for those not willing to walk that much). This old town gives you a similar vibe than Lijiang’s.
Rooms are great, ours was very big and comfortable, more like a spacious cabin. You have enough space to invite people to your room for board games, family time or drinking evening. Sitting in the entrance surrounded by space and calm is always a nice option, without the noise and movement you find in Lijiang downtown.
Breakfast is buffet American style, so you can find toasts and omelette. Very uncommon in most Chinese style hotels. Restaurant also has plenty food available, and definitely try the strawberry ice cream!

Night Walk
Beauty at night! the feeling of not crowded streets of a tourist spot in Lijiang. You can see the beauty of the place when it’s less people but sometimes you miss it when it’s crowded and busy. I think of that back when everything is normal.
Most of my friends recommends staying at Shuhe Ancient Town as it is not so touristic place not like the Lijiang Old Town. I like this place more as it’s not too crowded and not fancy as the main town in Lijiang.

The dessert shop that I saw on the Internet, the style of the whole dessert shop is partial ins wind, which is unique in the antique Shuhe ancient town, very characteristic, the photos taken are very good, so come to punch.
The dessert shop is close to the backpack for ten years in Shuhe Ancient Town. It is a bit biased, not very easy to find, but the location in the Raiders is quite accurate. The storefront is not very big, the entire dessert shop does not have three tables, and you need to line up when you catch up with people.
This store specializes in French desserts. The taste is very delicious in the ancient city, but our favorite is the decoration of the shop. The photos are very nice, there are many net red elements to shoot. Golden wrought iron chairs, uneven walls, unique mirrors and flowers taken by the boss from the mountains. The dessert store has a good effect and is considered a recommended store.
Shanhai.
When it comes to traveling in Yunnan, Lijiang is a city that can't be opened. It has magnificent natural scenery, ancient and simple Naxi culture, and many ancient towns. Among them, Dayan Ancient City is the most popular among tourists. It is not the first town built by the Naxi people. From the data point of view, the Naxi people built the white sand earlier, followed by the Shuhe, and finally built the Dayan.
White sand still retains a relatively primitive appearance, Da Yan is very commercial, only Shuhe takes a good balance between the two.
Dayan Ancient City Because of its location in Lijiang City, and the modern administration center and economic center in modern times, the prosperity is a matter of course. The Shuhe, which has faded its administrative functions, shows a more literary and more casual side.
Baohe Ancient Town can still see some Aboriginal people, more are businessmen who come to Lijiang to do business from other places. It is also a distribution center for holiday travelers and backpackers. Many people live in Shuhe at night, during the day. Nearby Yulong Snow Mountain, Lashihai and Dongba secrets. Just stay in the ancient town, sleep until you wake up naturally, drink an afternoon tea in the afternoon, go shopping for a while, read a few pages of books, listening to a piece of music is also a good choice.
Baohe Ancient Town is known as the village under the peak. You can enjoy the majestic appearance of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in different locations. It is also one of the best preserved ancient towns on the ancient Tea Horse Road. There are many fine restaurants and clear bars in Lijiang. The consumption is medium, not cheap, but the overall production is not bad. The restaurant usually runs from around 10 o'clock in the morning to late at night, even if there is a singer in the daytime, the bar is usually open at night.
WUXIPENG.
When you are used to the spring flowers and autumn months of the Jiangnan scenery, you will be attracted by the local customs and humanities culture; here will give you a different feeling. That day, the tree, the cloud, the house; Yunshan beautiful, simple and simple decoration, planting trees in the room, pushing the window to see the mountain, the natural landscape and the human landscape perfectly blended, such as entering the world.

In Lijiang, I was deeply healed by the sunny courtyard in November!
In Lijiang, I was deeply healed by the sunny courtyard in November! I came across a courtyard homestay in the good weather of Lijiang in November. I like to bask in the sun in the courtyard and let my thoughts fly to outer space.
Hotel | Adonis Wild Forest Courtyard Resort (Shuhe Ancient Town)
Address | No. 3, Group 2, Renli Village, Shuhe Ancient Town, Gucheng District, Lijiang City
| Location
The homestay is located in Shuhe Ancient Town, Lijiang City
Close to the north gate, you can walk to the scenic spot. Hidden in the downtown, you can enjoy a quiet place. 50 minutes from Lijiang Sanyi Airport, 40 minutes from Lijiang Station
| Design
The Naxi-style architecture is a cultural heritage. The combination of forest-style ethnic style and Naxi wooden structure gives the homestay a dreamlike sense of time travel. The homestay carries the courtyard culture to the end.
My favorite is the courtyard with different views in four seasons. In spring, you can see green buds, and in autumn, you can enjoy fallen leaves.
There will also be cats and dogs to accompany you to bask in the sun.

Lijiang homestay recommendations.
Shuhe Ancient Town homestay recommendations! Super photogenic!|||Finally escaped the hustle and bustle of the city,
and chose to come to Lijiang to experience the slow-paced leisure💭💫
The homestay I booked has six small courtyards,
and each courtyard is surrounded by sunlight☀️ and greenery
The ginkgo trees are just turning yellow this season, and every frame I take is full of love!
Especially the small courtyard behind the restaurant, where there is a huge persimmon tree, super photogenic📸
In the afternoon, sit in the small courtyard and drink tea, and let the children run and play on the grass, it's so much fun~

Lijiang Shuhe Ancient Town, unlock a wild mushroom feast!
Finally went to Shuhe Ancient Town in Lijiang, and chose a restaurant that I had been wanting to try for a long time - a restaurant specializing in wild mushroom hot pot! 🚀
🍲 As soon as you enter the restaurant, the rich aroma of mushrooms fills the air, instantly awakening your taste buds! The mushrooms are freshly picked on the same day, including matsutake, boletus, and termite mushrooms... each one is a gift from nature, full of nutrition and deliciousness 🍂
🔥 The hot pot is bubbling, and the golden chicken soup base is made by slow-cooking a free-range chicken for several hours, rich but not greasy. Add these precious wild mushrooms, and every bite is an ultimate temptation for your taste buds! 🤤
🥩 Of course, how can hot pot be without meat? You can also grill it, perfectly blending with the deliciousness of wild mushrooms, a match made in heaven! 🥩🍄
🥗 Add some fresh vegetables, a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, and every bite is a gentle care for your body. Lijiang baba is also very fragrant!
🍽️ Sitting in the quaint restaurant, tasting this authentic wild mushroom hot pot, with soft folk music in your ears and the ancient charm of Shuhe Ancient Town outside the window, at this moment, it feels like traveling to another world, enjoying your own quiet time... 🎶🏡

Lijiang | Gagagaga Rice Noodles in Shuhe.
A popular rice noodle restaurant in Shuhe Ancient Town. The price seems a bit more expensive than other restaurants, but that's because the ingredients are so fresh. The environment is also very nice, and there is an observation deck on the third floor where you can see the snow-capped mountains. It's definitely worth a visit when you're traveling.
🍴Wild Mushroom Rice Noodles
Highly recommended. Take a sip of the soup first, it's so fresh. The rice noodles are chewy and not easy to break. The pot includes mushrooms (black truffle, morel mushrooms, and more), black fungus, quail eggs, pork slices, and fried meat strips. Mix them with the rice noodles and enjoy.
🍴Yellow Beef Rice Noodles
Overall, it's pretty good, but some people may not like the mint. The pot includes beef, beef brisket, and beef balls, with about two or three slices of each. The beef is chewy and not pre-made.
🍴Grilled Tofu
A very nice side dish. It's not greasy at all compared to others. The tofu is tender and goes well with the local dipping sauce.
🍴Fried Potatoes
Slightly spicy, goes well with rice noodles. It's crispy when it's just out of the pot, but it gets a little soft when it cools down.
