A long time ago, under the strong Amway of my wife, through a speech given by Mr. Huang Yinwu, I learned that between Dali and Lijiang, there is an ancient town like a peach garden - Shaxi, with crystal clear river water and ancient buildings full of vicissitudes of life. , we have been heartbroken.

 The grievances accumulated throughout the 18 years exploded in late autumn in November. I don’t want to live like a puppet. I long to drink tea and chat with the wind blowing in the sun. I long for my life to slow down in sunny days and let myself The haze in my heart slowly dissipated, and the days full of sunshine returned. After a brief plan with my wife, we came to Dali.

Seeing Shaxi for the first time

We first took a minibus to Jianchuan, and the road was not as mountainous as we imagined. Now that there is a high-speed highway, we arrived at the Jianchuan Passenger Station in more than two hours (25 yuan/person), and then transferred to a local van (13 yuan/person). Shaxi is not as we expected, and like Dali and Lijiang, it is very commercial and noisy.

 When I got out of the car, my heart felt cold. Many houses and trees under construction seemed a bit messy. I found a small shop at the entrance of Sideng Street and ordered a bowl of casserole rice noodles, and then we found out, hey! How is it square. "The local rice noodles are square," the boss explained. (Actually, this is local bait silk)

Going deep into the ancient town, everything is unexpected and beautiful

After checking in, I strolled around the ancient town, and I couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. This is simply the ideal ancient town in my heart. There is no "Looking forward to your smile, my little baby" spread all over the street, and there is no crowded crowd...Everything is quiet, but it is the kind of stillness full of life vitality.

You will find a small vegetable garden full of green vegetables at the end of an inadvertent alley.

Or find a fruit tree full of persimmons

Or look up and find a beautiful old tree

Or a small alley with great light and shadow

Or meet a very emotional coffee shop

There are two foreigners sitting at the door drinking beer in the sun

Or you will encounter bridges with different aesthetics

Watching the ducks bask in the sun in the river

Or choose to pay 60 yuan under the bridge, choose a horse you like, and ride for more than an hour to the surrounding villages (after all, this is one of the few tourist projects in Shaxi)

Literary girls can go to the small shop next to the ancient stage to DIY a trinket they like. The owner also designed a lot of good trinkets
