I thought Dali was already slow-paced, until I visited this place

I've been to many ancient towns in China and I'm quite "afraid" of the uniform commercialization Never would I have expected, Shaxi gave me an unexpected surprise💯 Simple and tranquil Here, there are no crowded throngs of people, nor the noise of commerce One can feel even more the simplicity of the ancient town Shaxi is not big, yet every step is a view There are religious ancient buildings, caravan culture, as well as field coffee and ancient bridges over flowing water Old houses filled with memories, the wisps of cooking smoke in the early morning All make one feel particularly comfortable Worth staying for a couple of days to wander leisurely 📍Attraction: Shaxi Town, Jianchuan, Dali 🚗Transportation: 2 hours' drive from Dali Ancient Town, self-driving is recommended ✅Tour Route Tourist Center Parking Lot → Ouyang Courtyard → Sideng Street → Ancient Opera Stage → Xingjiao Temple → Nanzhai Gate → Yujin Bridge → Pioneer Bookstore outside the village ✅Must-visit Spots 1️⃣Ancient Opera Stage The ancient opera stage with a thousand years of history and the century-old trees stand tall in the square, which is the central area of the town, opposite to the Xingjiao Temple. 2️⃣Grandma A-Rui's Shop A handicraft and cultural creative shop run by a local grandma.
