Must visit

Traditional Bai wooden houses have no windows on the outer side and gable walls, which are made of thick rammed earth. Only the side facing the courtyard has wooden doors and windows. Someone once said: Old houses are good, warm in winter and cool in summer. From the perspective of building energy conservation, a room has six sides. The tile roof and wooden doors and windows facing the courtyard of traditional Bai buildings must be properly treated to meet energy conservation requirements. Traditional wooden doors and windows cannot be airtight, and the tile roof is leaky and drafty. In winter, the hot air rises and escapes, and the room cannot be heated. Traditional old houses can only rely on electric blankets to maintain the temperature of the bed. We originally wanted to preserve the wooden structure of the Bai courtyard and chose aluminum-wood composite or pure wood window systems. However, our courtyard is in the core protection area, and cranes cannot enter to install the door and window systems weighing several tons. We had to choose broken bridge aluminum alloy + double glazing to ensure thermal insulation and soundproofing, but the facade is still a bit regrettable. After the wall and roof insulation was completed, we chose central air conditioning with good heating effect, and finally transformed the old house into a warm winter and cool summer house, and no electric blankets are needed in winter!

Hey guys 👋, today I'm going to share my experience of visiting Shaxi Ancient Town in Dali, Yunnan 🥰 Shaxi Ancient Town is like a "mild" version of Suhe Ancient Town. When I went there, it was probably the off-season, so there weren't many tourists. But this didn't affect the charm of the ancient town at all, instead, it added a sense of tranquility and leisure 😌. As soon as I stepped into the ancient town, the strong autumn atmosphere hit me 🍁. This place is the filming location for several TV dramas, so even in the off-season, you can see many "good men and women" coming to check in 📷. I have to say, under the sunset, every corner of the ancient town seems to be born for taking beautiful photos 💕. I saw many professional photographers with their "long guns and short cannons", guiding beautiful women to pose in various poses in the light and shadow, the scene was really beautiful 😍. Strolling along the small roads of the ancient town, there is a small river at the end. By the river, I was attracted by the singing of a wandering singer 🎶. She was singing "Yu Xiang", and her singing was really touching. She sang devotedly, and I just stood there quietly listening, the golden sunset shining on us, like a sound painting 🖼️, the feeling was really wonderful~ I also went to the Shibao Mountain Grottoes, which didn't leave a particularly deep impression on me, but the old man at the entrance of the grottoes was particularly interesting 😉. He was playing the sanxian happily, and it is said that this is the "pick-up tool" of the Bai people 🤣. The old man told me that the Bai people hold a three-day singing contest here every July, and this year's has already ended. I even joked with him, asking if he lost in this year's singing contest, so now he is practicing, preparing to fight again next year 😄. Oh, and I also saw the statues of the Eight Vajras. The last photo is it, do you think there's anything awkward about it 🧐? Shaxi Ancient Town is really a place suitable for slow travel. Here, you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse yourself in the tranquility and beauty of the ancient town. Without the bustling crowds, you can enjoy every scenery and feel every bit of autumn. Every alley, every ancient building, seems to be telling the story of the ancient town. The ancient town under the sunset is as beautiful as a poem. Every change of light and shadow is like nature putting makeup on the ancient town, showing different beauty at different times. You can find a small shop, sit down and taste the local specialties, or buy some handicrafts as souvenirs. Guys, if you want to find a quiet and charming place to travel, Shaxi Ancient Town is definitely a good choice 😘. Here, you can enjoy leisurely time, take many beautiful photos, and experience unique ethnic culture. Come to Shaxi Ancient Town and check in~ 🥳

Shaxian Inn, Mountain Sparrow Inn|||We stayed at Mountain Sparrow Inn in Dongmen Ancient Street, Shaxian, on the recommendation of a friend. Before we even arrived in Shaxian, the lovely lady at the front desk of Mountain Sparrow called to ask about parking and other matters, and added me on WeChat. So thoughtful. Friends from out of town can park their cars in the playground behind the inn, which is very convenient and free. Mountain Sparrow Inn is located in the center of Dongmen Ancient Street, Shaxian. The entrance is right on Dongmen Ancient Street, which has become a must-see for tourists from out of town. The ancient street has everything you could want to eat, play, and photograph. The inn is about 100 meters across the street from the Shaxi River, where you can enjoy the ever-changing light show and water curtain movie at night. From the inn, walk about 300 meters along Binhe Road to the city center of Shaxian, where many famous traditional Shaxian snacks are located near Chiwei Lane, such as Liji Snacks. The snack stalls in Chiwei Lane offer dozens of unique and authentic Shaxian snacks such as shumai, taro dumplings, dried tofu, and rice jelly, which you can enjoy to your heart's content. In the afternoon, we walked to Qu Lane No. 1 Teahouse for afternoon tea; in the evening, we went to Half Acre of Flower Field for Western food; at dusk, we walked to the other side of the river and walked the plank road and glass plank road, where we could see the beautiful Shaxi River and the beautiful night view of Shaxi. Mountain Sparrow Inn is a renovation of two large ancient houses that are decades old, with a perfect blend of classical and modern styles. The rooms have modern smart bathrooms, which are really nice to use. The rooms are very spacious and not at all oppressive. Mountain Sparrow also prepared afternoon tea and fresh fruit for us; breakfast was also very rich, with eggs, sweet potato porridge, soy milk, fruit, etc. The short two-day trip to Shaxian went by in a flash. When I have time, I will come back to Shaxian and stay at Mountain Sparrow Inn again. Because of love, so love. Shaxian, wait for me to come back; Mountain Sparrow, see you again! Shaxian Snacks

Shaxian wontons, originally called Shaxian dumplings, are also known as Shaxian noodles. According to historical records, wontons were already being made in Shaxian during the Tang dynasty. At the first Shaxian Snack Festival in 1997, Miaomen Wontons were awarded the title of "Famous Chinese Snack." This was the first product in Shaxian's history to be given the title of "Chinese"! Miaomen Wontons have been passed down through four generations and have a history of over 30 years. The main store on Jianguo Road serves wontons with thin skins and tender meat, in a clear and fresh broth. The semi-transparent skins reveal a hint of pink, with a sprinkling of green scallions, and the steaming hot dish is full of flavor. The shop's fried sauce noodles are made with homemade cowpea and minced meat, chewy noodles, and scallion oil. Add a plate of duck gizzards, duck hearts, duck liver, and marinated eggs, drizzled with old marinade, for a satisfying meal.

This hotel just opened at the beginning of this year. I have stayed in other places before, also in Huazhu hotels, which are basically all-season hotels. The whole season is finally open in Sanming! We arrived at the hotel at around 3pm that day. The parking lot is next to the hotel and parking is free, which is super convenient. There was a tall and handsome boy at the front desk who helped me with my luggage. The girl at the front desk also greeted me warmly and arranged a room for me in advance. The service was really good. Warm tip: The hotel's laundry room is on the 5th floor and is also equipped with a dryer and washing machine. The washing machine is very smart, there is no need to add laundry detergent and disinfectant, the washing machine will add it automatically. Next door is the gym and breakfast room. I booked a room with a view. You can see the sunrise from the other side of the river. It's so beautiful. The night view is even more amazing. It’s not too comfortable to sit by the window and make tea at night. Speaking of breakfast, I really have to say that the breakfast in Jiji is really rich. The buffet has all kinds of Chinese and Western food, including porridge, steamed buns, fruits, stir-fried vegetables, snacks, pastries, etc., which is not inferior to the 88 yuan per person breakfast in other hotels. There is also a self-service water station in the lobby with coffee, lemonade, and tea, which is really thoughtful. The staff in the lobby will also take the initiative to help pour tea and introduce how to use the coffee machine, which is really considerate.

[East Gate Ancient Street] is a street with a long history, witnessing the changes of Sha County and carrying the urban memory of the locals. It is located on the east side of Sha County, Sanming City, along the edge of the Shaxi River, and faces the Qifeng Diecui Scenic Area across the river. East Gate Ancient Street is the oldest block in Sha County, and it still maintains the pattern of two roads and nine lanes. There are 2 provincial cultural relics protection units, 15 immovable cultural relics, and 31 historical buildings, including the largest and well-preserved Ming Dynasty Chenghuang Temple in the southeast coast and Baoyan Temple, which was built in the Tang Dynasty. After more than two years of active protection and renovation, East Gate Ancient Street has regained its vitality. The renovated ancient street retains the ancient buildings, and at the same time introduces new elements full of Sha County characteristics, such as original handmade, popular tea drinks, trendy flower shops, etc., and various local snacks, such as board duck, charcoal boiled grass jelly, tofu balls, etc. The renovation of the ancient street not only focuses on "appearance", but also closely related to the lives of residents. The strong and weak power lines, rain and sewage pipe networks, tap water, etc. have been re-planned and designed to improve the quality of life of residents. During the renovation of East Gate Ancient Street, the concept of "repairing the old as the old" was adhered to. According to the actual damage of the houses, three methods of "weaving", "repairing" and "facade renovation" were adopted to strive to maintain the original historical appearance to the greatest extent. The renovation of the ancient street not only improved the "appearance" of the block, but also injected new formats, such as culture, tourism, commerce, leisure and other multi-complex functions, and planned to introduce young well-known brands, Sha County's local specialty products, and tourism products for sale. In addition, East Gate Ancient Street also pays attention to cultural display. Through the carefully built theme cultural display area, the past glory of Sha County is re-presented to tourists. For example, the "Humanities Shayi Talents" relief corridor records the outstanding representatives of Sha County from the Tang Dynasty to modern times, the "East Gate Historical Building Cultural Corridor" displays the section map silhouette of the classic buildings on the ancient street, and the Sha County Red Memory Cultural Wall reproduces the grand scene of the 1934 Sha County City Battle. The renovation and protection work of East Gate Ancient Street not only rejuvenates the ancient street, but also becomes a new signboard for Sha County's cultural tourism, attracting many tourists to experience and explore.

On the first floor, I heard the chefs talking in Guizhou dialect, and I thought, I’m right, it’s authentic! 🍲 There are seats on the three floors, and it feels like entering a Guizhou cottage. Unexpectedly, their fruits and vegetables are self-service. Sour taste lovers will love the purslane👏🏻In the seasoning area, I also found Southwestern specialties such as jellyfish oil, jellyfish root, and chili. The jellyfish is so fragrant~ 🍅 The base of their sour soup pot has also been adjusted, the acidity and salinity have been reduced, and you can ask for additional acid (I personally think it is sour enough). Under the stewing in sour soup, the texture of the meat becomes soft and tender: [Diaolong] is blanched in pink, tender and meaty, half a pound of freshly cut and piled high 🥩If you want to eat the crispy points [Flower Beef Tendon] 】🐮There is also the raw [Beef Sashimi] that tastes like sweet shrimps and is extremely tender (I asked, it is the tenderloin of freshly supplied veal) [Little Fat Beef] looks fat and tastes milky and sour. The soup makes the greasy feeling of fat beef disappear without a trace... It gives you the refreshing feeling of eating meat at the end of the meal, which is so satisfying. ㊙️ The southwestern side dish 🈵🈵[Roasted Pepper and Preserved Egg] is not too spicy. After roasting, it is eaten with iced preserved eggs, which is very appetizing. [Miaojia Wild Tea Cake] is fried to a golden and crispy texture, served with soybean flour and honey, fresh and glutinous. [Miaojia Three Treasures] contains deep-fried ear root, pork belly, potato slices...what else is there for Miaojia? Bacon, sweet potato noodles, yellow rice cake... I’ll try it next time👍🏻
