Jianshui, Yunnan, this small town, I just want to say 【Too Late to Meet】

Yunnan really has too many ancient towns and stories, Jianshui is one of them, low-key yet profound. You can describe it with the phrase "Too Late to Meet". Both quaint and modern, from the Daban Well outside the west gate of the ancient town, where residents fetch water every day, to the French-style narrow-gauge train that passes through the countryside, from the Jianshui tofu roasted on charcoal in every household, to the bizarre and dopamine-rich colors of the Ant Workshop, Jianshui is really suitable for slow travel experiences. Go before it becomes too famous! 【Recommended Places】 1⃣️ Jianshui Ancient Town This is an ancient town that is slower than Dali and more quaint than Lijiang. It is the 'living' small town in our hearts, with over a dozen ancient wells still in use, Jianshui tofu eaten by every household, the cigarette box dance in the square at night, ancient buildings (Zhu Family Garden, Confucian Temple, Chaoyang Tower), and a large number of indigenous people still living here, all reasons why we love this place. 2⃣️ Jianshui Little Train Ride the retro yellow train from the city to the countryside, with the spring breeze blowing by your ears, check in at different retro stations (Xianhui Bridge Station, Shuanglong Bridge Station, Tuanshan Station), and see the trendy market at Xianhui Bridge and the sunset at Shuanglong Bridge. Along the way, there are baskets of strawberries sold by villagers, delicious and cheap. You can also rent a bicycle and ride along the train's route, starting from the south gate of the ancient town, heading west along the 'Baituan Highway' all the way to 'Tuanshan Folk Houses'. 3⃣️ Shuanglong Bridge Also known as the Seventeen-Arch Ancient Bridge, listed among China's top ten ancient bridges, the ancient bridge is beautiful, and the sunset is even more stunning, with local specialty stalls all around the bridge. 4⃣️ Xianhui Bridge Station French architectural style, there is a small market next to the station, and a retro literary cafe. Order a cup of coffee here, and time should be wasted in such a place. 5⃣️ Ant Workshop This is a fairy-tale world created with colorful brick walls, great for taking photos. If you don't like taking photos, you can skip it (if you order coffee, you can enter without buying a ticket, saving 40 haha). 🚗【Transportation】2.5h drive from Kunming, or 2h by high-speed train from Kunming to Jianshui. 🍜【Cuisine】Jianshui tofu, grass sprout rice noodles, Jianshui barbecue, steam pot chicken, papaya water.
