There are three ancient towns in Lijiang: Lijiang (Dayan) Ancient Town, Shuhe Ancient Town, and Baisha Ancient Town. The most crowded and prosperous place is Lijiang Ancient Town, but I love Baisha Ancient Town alone.
Baisha Ancient Town is the smallest of the three ancient towns, but it is the most Yunnan charm of the ancient town
How to get to Baisha Ancient Town?
Self-driving or taxi: You can locate Baisha Ancient Town (there is a parking lot), be careful not to drive the car to the streets of the ancient town, the road is narrow and there are many people, which is extremely inconvenient;
Bus: Take No. 6 (fare 2 yuan) or Gucheng-Shuhe-Baisha special line (fare 5 yuan) from Lijiang Old Town to arrive, it is recommended to see the bus departure time in advance, otherwise the waiting time will be longer.
How to play in Baisha Ancient Town?
Baisha Ancient Town is very small, you can basically walk around in half an hour, it is recommended to go to 7sea or a café with a terrace next to it, order a cup of coffee, and see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. (Now there are more people than before, and you basically need to queue up to ...... to shoot snow mountains.)）
Friends who like to walk, you can walk along the street in the direction of Yulong Snow Mountain, there are occasional local grandparents basking in the sun on the side of the road, and my friends and I inadvertently passed by a small shop carved wooden stakes, where you can drink tea and eat, which is quite interesting.
On the road from Shuhe to Baisha Ancient Town, the roadside is full of all kinds of unknown wildflowers from March to April every year, which is very suitable for riding an electric car. Occasionally, you can meet the grandfather of the morning glory, the boy who paints, and the villager who works in the fields......At sunset, the glow, the sunset, and the snow-capped mountains make people intoxicated.
Xiaodaojia Coffee, on the way to the depths of Baisha Ancient Town, there is a coffee that can see the snow mountain, a little away from Baisha Ancient Town, which has the taste of "legacy independence".
Baisha Murals: Tickets for 20 people, you can have an in-depth understanding of the culture of the Naxi people, because some of them are still under renovation and may not be visible, it is recommended to ask the staff before going.
