Over 4 days, 4-Day Shaxi to Lijiang Heritage Tour links Arrival in Shaxi with Shaxi to Lijiang, taking in Sideng Square and Xingjiao Temple, Yuxi Bridge and Countryside along the way. 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.
