I Walked to Square Street(ๅๆน่ก) This is East Village Gate(ๆฑๅฏจ้). I’m currently at the Yujin Bridge(็ๆดฅๆฉ). This is South Guzong Lane(ๅๅคๅฎๅทท). I went to North Guzong Lane(ๅๅคๅฎๅทท). A Night Tour of Shaxi Ancient Town
Shaxi Ancient Town (ๆฒๆบชๅค้), located in Jianchuan County, Dali, Yunnan, is a renowned historical site that once served as a vital trading hub on the Tea Horse Caravan Road. This town, nestled roughly halfway between Dali and Lijiang, offers a unique glimpse into China’s rich history and culture. Key attractions include the 700-year-old theatre (ๅฏบ็ปๆๅฐ), the scenic Yujin Bridge (็ๆดฅๆกฅ), the 600-year-old Xingjiao Temple (ๅ
ดๆๅฏบ), the magnificent Ouyang Courtyard (ๆฌง้ณๅคง้ข), and the vibrant Friday market (ๆๆไบๅธ้), providing a comprehensive experience of ancient Chinese life.
Shaxi was established around 700 AD during the Tang Dynasty as a bustling trade point along the Tea Horse Road, facilitating extensive commerce in tea and horses between China’s tea-growing regions and areas rich in horses, such as Tibet and India. Despite the decline of trade along the Tea Horse Road, Shaxi’s Friday Market continues to thrive, attracting visitors worldwide.
The Tea Horse Road (่ถ้ฉฌๅค้) itself is a significant part of the region’s history, symbolizing the large-scale trade that once flourished between Chinese dynasties and Tibet. Today, it draws people not for trade but to explore the culture and historical architecture of the area.
Visitors to Shaxi can enjoy various activities, such as strolling along Sideng Street (ๅฏบ็ป่ก), attending the vibrant Friday Market, and participating in traditional festivals like the Taizihui Holiday (ๅคชๅญไผ) and Torch Festival (็ซๆ่). Nearby attractions include Shibao Mountain (็ณๅฎๅฑฑ), known for its Danxia landform, Buddhist Grottoes, and Golden Monkeys.
Shaxi’s location between Lijiang and Dali makes it an ideal stopover for travelers exploring Yunnan. Despite its remote setting, the town’s rich cultural heritage and well-preserved historical sites make it a must-visit destination for those interested in China’s ancient trade routes and minority cultures.

This could be a scene from a fairy tale story about ancient China. This place is truly an architectural gem.
Dear Duck, Thank you for this amazing walk. A stunning open-air museum. I noticed a sign on one of the shops "Wood and Stone" and my heart trembled) Because I watched this video with the thought of how much beautiful old carved wood and ancient stones there are. I love it all so much!
And there is also a splash of water, and wonderful greenery, and shadows on the old pavement…
It's so wonderful. I am absolutely fascinated by this place. I am fascinated by the fact that handicraft traditions are so carefully preserved in China.
With love from a snow-covered village near Moscow)
Suka.

I was in Shaxi on 6 Feb 2006 when it was just a sleepy hollow with a handful of tourists. I was captivated by it's quiet charm and history and spent a few hours roaming around. I'm so glad it's now thriving again.
oh my gosh this is so beautiful ๐๐ huge props to the locals for preserving these buildings it feels like you are actually walking through mediavel china,

Hi sir I'm your subscriber ,, so how you add subtitle, , can you explain me please ๐๐
No matter how 'beautiful' and 'rural', all Chinese places seem to be perpetually overpopulated… peace and quiet being non existent…
I love Shaxi. Went there twice and stayed for a week. Never want to leave the place cos it is so relaxing and therapeutic
Fine, human-scaled architecture. I noted merchants are open long hours but don't seem to have many sales. There are many tourists posing for selfies but few customers.
like a walk back in time into an ancient paradise.
Suasana tenang bersih aman damai ๐๐คโค๐๐
Just so CLEAN!
