Shaxi Ancient Town (Yunnan)

#chinatravel

A historic hub along the ancient Tea Horse Road, Shaxi retains charm through centuries-old architecture, Sideng Market Square, and heritage sites like Yujin Bridge and Xingjiao Temple. Unlike more commercialized towns, it remains peaceful, with local markets, traditional inns, and cultural experiences that evoke the rhythms of ancient trade life. Activities include early fog photography, picking mushrooms, bonfire evenings, and artisan crafts. Best savored over several days to absorb its relaxed depth.
