Fully customized, flexible schedule, private guide & driver · We Guarantee 100% No Shopping Stops!
Over 2 days, 2-Day Shaxi Ancient Town Escape links Arrival in Shaxi with Sideng Square and Xingjiao Temple. Travel from Dali or Lijiang, settle into a character guesthouse and take a gentle first walk. Shaxi and the old Tea Horse Road sit near 2,100 metres; allow 2–4 kilometres on foot for Sideng Square, Xingjiao Temple, market lanes and the stone paths leading toward Shibaoshan. Explore the market square, ancient theatre stage, Xingjiao Temple and caravan-era lanes with your guide. The day’s flavour is local rather than staged: try Shaxi baba, cured ham or a bowl of rice noodles, and notice the carved opera-stage details before the light fades. The route is best suited to travelers who prefer a private guide, a named set of sights and time for a proper meal in each place, with the daily emphasis on a focused private journey with a balanced daily rhythm. Opening hours, traffic and local access are checked during the trip, allowing the guide to reorder visits when needed.
