🌬️Shaxi Ancient Town|Follow in Xu Hongdou's footsteps and step into a place where the wind blows

#NovemberDestinations2025 🌬️Shaxi Ancient Town|Following in Xu Hongdou's Footsteps, Stepping into a Place with Wind Yunnan Dali・Shaxi Ancient Town 📍Jianchuan County 084 County Road Because of a TV series, I embarked on a journey. "Go to a Place with Wind" made me rediscover the gentleness of Dali, and Shaxi Ancient Town is one of the most touching scenes in the series. Following in Xu Hongdou's footsteps, I also came to this town gently enveloped by time. Starting from Dali Ancient City, the drive is about two and a half hours. The guesthouse owner personally drove us there. The stone-paved roads, the old stage, the wooden walls, and the wind and light in the alleys—every scene felt like it had stepped out of the drama. The biggest surprise was meeting "Shaxi Charlie Chaplin" in the ancient town—a locally renowned artist and guesthouse owner. Our guesthouse owner recognized him and went up to greet him, and the two chatted warmly. Then, he took out his paintbrush and painted a free portrait of us. No appointment, no exchange, just a chance encounter and a gentle gift in the afternoon. This wasn't a photo op, but a moment of being gently embraced by life. Shaxi is more than just a filming location; it's a place where stories unfold. Go where the wind blows, and go where the heart finds meaning. #ShaxiAncientTown #GoWhereTheWindBlows #XuHongdou'sFootsteps #DaliTravel #YunnanSlowLife #AncientTownExploration #DaliFilmingLocation #LifeProposal #WhereTheWindBlows #YunnanTravelGuide

Shaxi Ancient Town Stepping into Shaxi Ancient Town is like stepping into a quietly flowing painting. The stone-paved streets, the dim lights, the tranquil sounds of people—every step slows your heart down. Shaxi Ancient Town is a well-preserved ancient town. It's not large, but it's become incredibly popular because of its breezy atmosphere. The alleyways on either side of the town are even more delightful than the main street, giving the feeling of strolling through a forest. Come here to feel the breeze and experience the town's rustic charm and tranquility. #GoToABreezyPlace #ShaxiAncientTown

Dreaming of a picturesque escape in southwest China? Here’s my quick guide to Jianchuan’s star spot — Ancient Town Shaxi, Dali Bai 🌤️✨. Get ready for old-world charm, killer photo ops, and a courtyard vibe that’s pure serenity! Top Spot to Visit: Ancient Town Shaxi (沙溪古镇) Address: 084 County Road, Jianchuan County, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture Hours: Open year-round, 24/7! Step into this ancient gem and you’ll instantly want to whip out your phone — it’s photogenic from every angle. My hot tip? Wear earth-tone outfits! The courtyard scenes, with their blue skies and white cloud backdrops, make neutral colors truly pop in your photos (trust me, Insta-perfect shots are pretty much guaranteed). Even on cloudy or rainy days, the classic Chinese architecture and outdoor cultural landscapes look dreamy, especially up close. Plus, slow down and you’ll notice cats and dogs lazing around, adding a sweet local touch. Getting Around: Shaxi Ancient Town is walkable 🚶. No need for a car. Buses from Jianchuan’s center get you to the entrance easily. Food Hacks: Go traditional — try the local Bai-style noodles or explore one of the courtyard teahouses for an afternoon chill. Extra Tips: The weather can switch fast: bring a light raincoat. There's NO entry fee! Grab cash for small eats or souvenirs; some stalls don’t do mobile pay. Ready to wander and snap? Shaxi’s magic is in those tranquil corners and old-school details — just take your time to soak it all in. #ShaxiAncientTown #JianchuanTravel #ChinaHiddenGems #ArchitecturalLovers #Tripcom
