2024 Jianshui Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)

Thanksgiving is here

❤️Thanksgiving❤️ is here, is there anyone or anything you want to thank the most this year? Every trip I take, every hotel I stay at is actually very important to us travel bloggers in this high-risk profession. A successful trip cannot be separated from the support of a good hotel! The hotel during the trip is not just a place to stay, but also a home where you can feel warmth. Today I would like to extend this gratitude to all the hotels I have stayed at this year. In picture 8, there are hotel benefits I give to my fan friends, a gift package that everyone can receive, I hope your trips are as smooth as mine. The photo📷 was taken in Jianshui, Yunnan and Jeju Island.

A Satisfying Dinner in Jianshui

After a full day of exploring the sights, sounds and smells of Jianshui, it was absolutely imperative that we had a good meal to finish of a fulfilling day. While walking through what seemed to be Jianshui’s Main Street of the main tourist area, we stumbled across this cute looking restaurant that we just had to check out. It had a really pretty exterior, and was full of diners ordering their dinner. As Jianshui is known for tofu, of course we ordered tofu (which was delicious!) as well as some beef (that was kinda like jerky, and a bit spicy) alongside some greens fried with garlic. If you manage to get a table overlooking the street, do! It was beautiful. Find it: 香满楼(临安路店), Jianshui. 翰林街63号附6号(朱家花园大门前行 50米） #grouptravel

Jianshui’s Old City Train

While exploring Jianshui’s surprising number of intriguing attractions, my guide mentioned that visiting the Jianshui Old City Train would be worth the excursion. Turns out, he was right! While this century old gauge railway no longer actually serves passengers anymore, there is a tourist train that runs through it twice a day. It was fun to spend an hour just wandering the tracks, gaze upon vintage looking items and explore the surroundings of the area. It’s a great little spot for making use of their photo opportunities too. In total, I think I spent an hour here just wandering and taking photos! Would you visit this location? #solotravel

Exploring a Historical Walled Village

Hidden within the depths of Yunnan Province, I was in and around the area of Yuanyang to see the rice terraces. Of course, with some extra time to spend exploring other areas, I just had to check out nearby villages. Tuanshan Village is a traditional walled village in Yunnan province. Originally a mining center in days of old, it still features well-preserved residences you can dip into, temples and ancestral halls to admire and friendly locals to meet. This village was also listed on the 2006 World’s Monuments Watch for being a rare surviving example of a traditional walled village in Yunnan province! #solotravel

Royal Titled Zhang’s Mansion

Covering an area of 1,885 square meters, the Royal Titled Zhang’s Mansion is a two-row residential compound located in Tuanshan Village in Jiansui, Yunnan Province. While touring the village, we were invited inside to look at the incredible architecture of the place. From golden plaques to intricate woodcarved windows, it was a nice place to wander through and explore, imagining the lives of those who lived here for generations. Unfortunately we were not able to learn much about the history of the place while there, even the signage was not very conducive to telling the full story of the mansion. Find it: 54 Jianshui Tuanshan Village #solotravel

Stroll through time in the Tuanshan Village

You can take the excursion train in Jianshui and this village will be the last station. You will have 1,5/2 hours to stroll around and explore the small streets, traditional buildings and temples and gardens. There are a lot of beautiful woodcarvings to be seen and it’s an interesting cultural experience. It’s a tranquil place with lots of greenery. There are also interesting trees and plants in the village. If you are into photography and history it’s a good place to explore and take photos of the details you see all around. If you take the excursion train, it will take you back to Jianshui after your stroll through Tuanshan.

Walking through a village is one thing, but being invited to experience someone’s way of life is something we are always grateful for. We love how open a lot of people we meet can be, and this was no different during a visit to Tuanshan Village in Yunnan province. While exploring the small streets, clay-built houses and marvelling at the incredible view of the rice terraces nearby, we witnessed all of the locals coming together to eat outside. It was a special day for them, celebrating the life of one of their own who had recently passed. ⠀ ⠀ A sorrowful day for many, but when gathered together with tables full of food, they still managed to find that silver lining on the grey clouds and find the space within their hearts to welcome us in to see their way of life that little bit closer.⠀ ⠀ 📍Tuanshan Village, Yunnan Province, China #leaveyourmark

Zhu’s Family Garden.⠀ ⠀ An architectural complex that simply oozes elegance. With over 100 years of family history, the Zhu Family Garden is an incredible place to wander through, but can often feel like a bit of a maze. It took 30 years to complete, and the entire garden covers an incredible 20,000 square meters. With 42 different courtyards to explore, you could easily spend half a day here just exploring all the different nooks and crannies, and pretending (or wishing) that you owned a garden as elaborate as this one.⠀ ⠀ 📍Zhu Family Garden, Jianshui, Yunnan Province #leaveyourmark

Jianshui: Jianshui Mini Train - Travel Through the Scenery

Another must-see attraction in Jianshui is the Jianshui Mini Train. If the Ming and Qing Dynasties left Jianshui with the Jianshui Ancient City, then the Republic of China left Jianshui with the mini train. The so-called mini train refers to the narrow gauge railway, which is only one meter wide. It is also called a meter-gauge railway, which is narrower than the standard gauge railway in China, so it is called a mini train. The Jianshui Mini Train has a long history. It was built in 1915 and is the first private railway in China, with a very unique position in history. When it was first built, it was not even a meter-gauge railway, but a narrow-gauge railway, a truly miniature train. The Jianshui Mini Train currently runs for about 13 kilometers, starting from Lin'an Station next to the Jianshui Ancient City, passing through Shuanglong Bridge and Xianghui Bridge, and ending at Tuanshan Station. The mini train travels through the mountains and rivers of Jianshui, a land rich in resources. The mini train running through the fields has become the most beautiful scenery. We took the mini train, and the clanging sound was fascinating. The mini train does not run fast, which would be annoying if you are in a hurry, but it is perfect as a tourist line. We had plenty of time to take photos of the scenery and group photos, and we could sit and daze after taking photos. It was a very slow-paced healing journey. Next, we will visit each station and the scenery along the way.

Whether you want to savor authentic Jianshui local specialties or try flavors from other regions, the hotel restaurant can satisfy your discerning taste buds. The breakfast is diverse and abundant, providing energy for the day's journey.

The hotel offers multiple meeting rooms and banquet halls of various sizes, making it easy to host anything from small seminars to large celebrations. The well-equipped entertainment facilities, such as the chess and card room, provide a great place to relax after a busy day. 🌙【Attention to Detail】🌙 Lastly, I must mention the hotel's impressive attention to detail. Each room is equipped with an intelligent guest control system, allowing you to adjust the lighting and air conditioning to your liking. The thoughtfully prepared tea bags and disposable toothbrushes reflect the hotel's meticulous care for its guests. In short, spending a few days in a place that combines historical charm with modern convenience will surely become an unforgettable memory. If I visit Jianshui again, I think I'll choose to stay here again. 😉

A must-visit in Jianshui Ancient Town, Yunnan.

📍Address: Lin'an Hotel, Jianshui Ancient Town. Named after the ancient town's former name, this hotel has a long history and is a popular dining spot for locals. 👍Recommended: 1. Grass sprout rice noodles or clear soup rice noodles. You can add as many rice noodles as you like, but if more than one adult shares a portion, it will be considered stingy and taking advantage. Please don't break this rule. 2. Steamed chicken, a dish with a historical story, is available in two types: native chicken and black-bone chicken, each with a different price. 3. Grass sprouts, a local specialty, can be stir-fried with or without meat. The price is indeed high, but the cost is inherently high. Other dishes like glutinous rice lotus root and pig's feet are also delicious. There are also steamed chicken set meals. 📝Tips: Try to go a little earlier during meal times, or some dishes may be sold out. You need to queue up to order food.

Chaoyang Tower and Xiaogui Lake.

It is said that during the Ming Dynasty, a pond was formed outside the Chaoyang Tower in Jianshui Ancient City due to the excavation of soil for city construction. The pond gradually filled with water and became a lake. Because a general who supervised the city construction often washed his horse by the lake, people called it "Xima Pond". Also, because the Ming Dynasty scholar Yang Shen was demoted here, he saw the pond and thought of Gui Lake in his hometown, which made him feel emotional. Therefore, "Xima Pond" was also called "Xiaogui Lake". Xiaogui Lake is not very large, but it has a moat, an island, and a pavilion. The lake water changes color with the weather. There are many merchants around, and it is very close to Chaoyang Tower, making it a good place for people to relax and have fun.

The living ancient village - Tuanshan Village.

This 600-year-old village is inhabited by Zhangs. It is said that during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, a Zhang family settled in Tuanshan Village and thrived, becoming a large clan. Many people in the family went to the old mine to make money and then returned to build houses, gradually forming a large group of buildings with Central Plains culture, the most famous of which is "Zhangjia Garden". "Tuanshan" in the Yi language means a place with mountains, water, gold and silver. It is built on the mountain, surrounded by lakes and canals, fertile land, spring all year round, and it is indeed a geomantic treasure. So far, there are still residents living in Tuanshan Village, continuing the centuries-old fireworks.

Next to it is the Jianshui Tofu Shop, which has been featured on "A Bite of China". The tofu is made on-site and the aroma is irresistible. On the second floor, for only 5 yuan, you can enjoy bean curd or soy milk as much as you like, and also try freshly fried tofu and bean curd skin. The taste is amazing! 👍 Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to visit Yanzi Cave and Seventeen-Arch Bridge this time, so I'll leave them for my next exploration. 🍱 Food: Jianshui grilled tofu stalls are everywhere, with stinky tofu and preserved tofu as the main stars. Some stalls also grill potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are very fragrant. This is a Jianshui specialty, a must-try! 😋 Lion cake is like shaqima, but it's too oily and sweet. My friend and I both think it's not as good as shaqima. We recommend trying it, but don't buy too much, 3 yuan each. Grass sprout rice noodles are also not to be missed. This is a crop that can only be grown in a certain area of Jianshui. Have a bowl in Lin'an and experience the unique taste of grass sprouts. Buckwheat cake and Vietnamese spring rolls are not my personal favorites. Highly recommend the earthenware houses in the ancient town. The entrance may be small, but there's a world inside. No internet celebrity hype, but the food is amazing and the price is reasonable. Especially recommend the five-flower dried jerky, the salty beef jerky is stir-fried to perfection, so delicious you can't stop eating! Leek and meat fried rice, grass sprout stir-fried meat, etc. are all very special. 😍 In short, my Jianshui trip was very rewarding. There are beautiful scenery, delicious food, and hospitable people. If you're looking for a fun place to visit, come to Jianshui! I believe you'll fall in love with it! 💖
