On this trip to Shaxi, Jianchuan, I stayed at Shaxi Senxi Aesthetic Art Boutique Homestay, which was truly an immersive aesthetic experience! The wabi-sabi style mixed with new Chinese elements, every detail exudes a sense of sophistication. Friends who want to shoot atmospheric photos, just go for it with your eyes closed 🏮 The moment I opened the door to Senxi, I felt healed. The low-saturation warm-toned walls make for perfect Instagram shots, rustic yet cozy, perfectly matching the vibe of Shaxi Ancient Town. The soft furnishings in the room are carefully selected, with thoughtful touches like a Dyson hairdryer and premium toiletries that reveal quality everywhere. I especially love the greenery in the courtyard; on sunny days, the sunlight filtering through the leaves creates stunning light and shadow patterns on the ground, and on rainy days, it has a unique charm 🌿 📍The location is super convenient! It’s right at No. 51 Sideng Street, Shaxi Ancient Town, just a few minutes’ walk to the town’s core area, yet it remains private and quiet. For those driving, it’s even more worry-free as the homestay has its own private parking lot, so you don’t have to drag your luggage around looking for a spot. The butler service is incredibly thoughtful, contacting you before check-in and preparing afternoon tea and goodnight desserts. Detail lovers will be very satisfied~ 📸Recommended photo spots: 1. Courtyard greenery area: Morning sunlight is perfect, wear a plain long dress to instantly become an artsy goddess 2. By the room window: Backlit silhouette shots at dusk are especially poetic 3. Public tea room: New Chinese furniture paired with light and shadow, every shot looks high-end 💡Tips: • It’s recommended to stay at least 2 nights to slowly enjoy Shaxi’s slow-paced lifestyle • Be sure to try the local specialty breakfast prepared by the homestay • Bring a shawl or scarf; it’s great for the temperature difference between morning and evening and doubles as a photo prop • Booking paid tour services is completely risk-free~

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
