Halfway between Dali and Lijiang lies an ancient town that is more intimate, artistic, and far less commercialized than those two cities. This is Shaxi. Tucked away in Jianchuan County, Shaxi Ancient Town is beloved by artists and craftsmen from all over China but is still relatively unknown to international visitors. I can confidently say this town is a must-visit in Yunnan. We'll experience the local tie-dyeing, learn about the history of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and explore the arts and crafts of this town. Join us on our trip to this charming little gem.
