The best mushroom hotpot I had in Lijiang!

When you come to Baisha Ancient Town in Lijiang, the happiest thing is to eat a delicious wild mushroom hotpot while looking at the scenery of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain!! There are more than a dozen kinds of mushrooms on the platter! There are many types, and the mushrooms are all wild and very fresh!! The high mountain chicken nourishing soup is very nutritious, drink a bowl of chicken soup first!! Then put in wild mushrooms, there are chicken velvet mushrooms, boletus, deer velvet mushrooms, chicken oil mushrooms... you can eat it after boiling for more than ten minutes!! It's so fresh that it's amazing!!! The environment of Qianjunge is very Lijiang, antique, you can see the snow mountain on the second floor, and you can also see the blue sky, it is really comfortable! While eating the delicious wild mushroom hotpot, I looked at the snow mountain outside the window. It was so worth it to eat this mushroom hotpot at Qianjunge!!!

National Geographic didn't deceive me about the snow-capped mountains of Baisha Ancient Town

During the break of our wedding photo shoot, I took my aunt's car to Baisha, with the first stop being a temple chosen by my aunt. We visited the Fuguo Temple at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain in Lijiang. The Lijiang Fuguo Temple was founded in the 29th year of the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty and was originally the family temple of the Mu clan chieftains. The temple was initially named 'Jietuo Lin' and later granted the name 'Fuguo Temple' by Emperor Xizong of Ming. It is the mother temple of the five major temples in Lijiang. After descending the mountain, we stayed at the Baisha Muyun Mountain Villa, which is only a five-minute walk from Baisha Ancient Town. The large bed faced the snow mountain, offering a direct view of the beautiful scenery. (After a five-minute omission) I walked to Baisha Ancient Town. To be honest, it is still a commercial street, but within this commercial area, you can still vaguely see some locals doing business, and the streets are lined with many interesting shops. The pedestrians on the street were strolling leisurely (perhaps because the cobblestone roads are hard to navigate), in the courtyards, the elders who are the bearers of intangible cultural heritage were swinging the hammers of Thor, and everywhere you could see tourists taking photos (including myself). The shop of the Mantou Poet had a long queue in front, and in Zhang San's grocery store, they weren't playing Zhang San's songs. I spent a long time watching the tie-dye craftsmanship hidden in the antique shop. Upstairs at 7sea, a beauty was constantly changing poses, and the guy selling canned milk tea downstairs was enjoying the view, whispering to me with a smile, 'Bro, if you came earlier, you could have helped me take a photo of the beauty.' I had some snacks along the way. The auntie selling grilled milk fans next to Yunwei Collection said the old lady didn't look good on camera, and the owner of Chen's Baisha Flavor Restaurant wanted to give a discount, but I had already paid the bill. He offered two bottles of coconut juice, which I've been drinking since I was a child. Now I'm back to sleep and watch the sunrise over the Golden Mountain‼️‼️‼️ I checked for the sunrise at seven o'clock and set an alarm for six fifty, just perfect. I love Baisha, and Baisha loves me. When I got up, I saw the sunrise over the Golden Mountain, a perfect score of 💯 I took a video of the sunrise over the Golden Mountain for my wife, and then we both ran out to have breakfast. For breakfast, I tried the Mantou Poet's steamed buns and mushroom meat buns, which were artistic yet a bit greasy, with huge rose-shaped buns packed in small cloth bags, definitely a carb-loaded breakfast. I didn't finish the buns and ran to try the Naxi specialty hot pot! 📍Baisha Snack Street Naxi Specialty Hot Pot I must recommend it, it's really delicious. I ordered a Naxi hot pot rice noodle and a free-range chicken rice noodle, both were great. It turns out there really is free-range chicken in the chicken rice noodle, and halfway through, the guy gave me an egg, saying it was definitely a free-range chicken egg, adding to the meal.

Take my advice! Baisha is the place in Lijiang that's most worth visiting

This is Baisha Ancient Town, located in Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, 10 kilometers away from Lijiang Ancient Town. To the north lies the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, to the east is Dadu, to the south is Shuhe, and to the west is Wenhai. It is a place less than half an hour's drive away from the hustle and bustle, where you can find a peaceful retreat as if you're picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence. Walking through Baisha Ancient Town is like turning the pages of a vivid and lively historical scroll. The town has not undergone large-scale development and has maintained its quiet and simple charm. The Baisha Ancient Town, which is open all year round without an admission fee, is suitable for a half-day in-depth visit, and is welcoming in all four seasons, with a unique snow mountain landscape in the cold winter.

I am wondering who turned Lijiang into a fairy tale world

🎄Spring is the off-season in Yunnan, and the climate is also nice 🎄It is also the most beautiful time for scenery, don't miss the chance to take great photos📸! 🛶Travel Tips: Clothing: You really don't need to bring too many clothes to Yunnan, just an overcoat for sun protection or for wearing at night is enough, and you can buy a nice dress in Dali ancient town for about an average price of 70 yuan, along with matching bags and shawls~😍 📌Weather: Just bring an umbrella for both sunny and rainy days, it will come in handy😄 📌It is suggested that only those who have bought tickets to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain go to Ganhaizi to see the sun shining on the golden mountain, because there is an additional charge of 100 yuan per person to enter the mountain. If you didn't get a ticket, it's recommended to go to Dongba Valley to see. 📌To climb Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, you need to grab a ticket at 8 pm the night before at 'Lijiang Tourism Group - Ticket Reservation - Snow Mountain Ticket - Glacier Park Cableway', and fill in your information in advance; 📌After climbing Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, you need to take the large cableway down, and then take a sightseeing bus to Yunsongping or Blue Moon Valley. The large cableway should be taken according to the time slot, and if you miss the small cableway, they will still let you take it. 📌Shuhe Ancient Town: Quiet and suitable for a leisurely stroll, with beautiful alleys everywhere, the deeper you go, the more primitive and peaceful it becomes 📌Baisha Ancient Town is also great to visit, located at the foot of the snow mountain, with many coffee shops worth visiting, truly leisurely and comfortable. 📌Erhai Lake: Definitely recommend cycling in the Haxi Ecological Corridor, cars are not allowed in the ecological corridor! 📌Ideal State: You can get the feel of Santorini in Dali without going abroad, ~ take lots of great photos📸!

Whoever comes to Lijiang should not miss Baisha, or I will be heartbroken! Baisha is worth it

Lijiang has three ancient towns: Lijiang (Dayan) Ancient Town, Shuhe Ancient Town, and Baisha Ancient Town. The most populous and prosperous is Lijiang Ancient Town, but I have a particular fondness for Baisha Ancient Town. Baisha Ancient Town is the smallest of the three, but it is the one that, in my eyes, has the most Yunnan charm. Last year, I stayed in Lijiang for half a year, visiting Baisha Ancient Town countless times, and finally, as a chronic procrastinator, I have put together this guide: 🚗How to get to Baisha Ancient Town? 1⃣️Self-drive or take a taxi: Navigate to 📍Baisha Ancient Town (there is a parking lot), but be careful not to drive into the narrow and crowded streets of the ancient town; it's very inconvenient; 2⃣️Bus🚌: Depart from Lijiang Ancient Town by bus No. 6 (fare 2 yuan) or the Ancient Town-Shuhe-Baisha line (fare 5 yuan) to get there. It's recommended to check the bus schedule in advance, otherwise, the waiting time can be long. 📃How to enjoy Baisha Ancient Town? 1⃣️Baisha Ancient Town is very small, and you can basically finish touring it in half an hour. It's recommended to go to 7sea or a nearby cafe with a terrace, order a cup of coffee ☕️, and view the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. (Now there are more people than before, and you basically have to queue to take pictures of the snow mountain...) 2⃣️For those who like to walk, you can follow the streets in the direction of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Occasionally, you will see local grandparents sunbathing by the roadside. My friend and I inadvertently passed by a small shop carving wooden stakes, where you can drink tea and have a meal, quite interesting. 3⃣️On the road from Shuhe to Baisha Ancient Town, every year from March to April, the roadside is filled with various unknown wildflowers, which is very suitable for riding an electric scooter🛵 and enjoying the breeze. Occasionally, you may encounter a grandfather leading an ox, a young man painting, villagers working in the fields... At sunset, the glow, the setting sun, and the snow mountain are intoxicating. 4⃣️Xiaodao Family Coffee, on the road going deeper from Baisha Ancient Town, there is a coffee shop where you can see the snow mountain, slightly away from Baisha Ancient Town, with a sense of 'being uniquely independent from the world'. 5⃣️Baisha Murals: The ticket is 20 yuan per person, and you can deeply understand the Naxi culture. Since some parts are still under renovation, you might not be able to see them, so it's suggested to ask the staff before going. 🍲What to eat in Baisha Ancient Town? 1⃣️Poet's Steamed Buns Both the flower steamed buns and the brown sugar steamed buns are delicious, even for someone like me who doesn't usually like flour-based food, they have a unique taste~ 2⃣️Chef Chen's Baisha Flavor Restaurant A very local restaurant. The first time I went there, the place was quite small and easy to miss. Later, both the environment and the dishes have improved a lot. I especially recommend their Pu'er tea beef and fish. 3⃣️Naxi Specialty Casserole Great value for money, the mixed pot dish is 25 yuan per person, with both vegetables and meat, and the flavor is excellent. After eating, it's always memorable. Their fried rice is also very characteristic and highly recommended!

Yunnan First Experience: Baby and Baisha Trip

Hey everyone! This is Sienna’s first big adventure 🌍. Flying from Shanghai to Yunnan, who said traveling with a little baby would be a problem? 👶✈️ First stop, we arrived at Baisha Ancient Town near Lijiang. Well… the weather forecast was indeed right; it’s drizzling here ☔️. But Baisha in the rain has a unique charm, just like an ink painting 🖼️. The three of us were holding umbrellas, and Sienna was curiously looking around from her stroller. She seems very intrigued by this new environment! One of the most fun parts of the trip was packing for it. Well, traveling with a baby means more luggage 💼😂. Bottles, diapers, toys… can you imagine the hustle and fun we had while packing? But most importantly, we want to share that traveling can still be a wonderful and unforgettable experience, even with a child. Yes, there will be more challenges, but those unforgettable moments and intimate times with family are priceless 💖. Remember, exploring new places with family is always worth it! 🌏 #timetotravel

Baisha Village is a traditional Naxi Village. The Old Town was the first settlement of Naxi People upon their arrival in the Lijiang basin and houses the Baisha Murals. Baisha is located at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain about 10 km from Lijiang city. This is a lovely quaint village on the edge of Yulong mountain, 30 mins drive from Lijiang, with tasteful craft shops and coffee shops. #newyearadventure #tripblazers #baisha #白沙道 #lijiang #lijiangtravel #lijiangoldtown #麗江古城

Lijiang Ancient Town- A step back in time.

Getting There - Lijiang ancient town is located roughly 35-40 minutes from Lijiang airport by taxi. Attractions - For me, the best thing to do during the day is explore. I enjoyed getting lost and taking photos of the old town. To the north is Shuhe and Baisha ancient towns, which are less touristy and a little quieter.

Baisha Ancient Town, Lijiang, Yunnan

Location: Lijiang, Yunnan This is the most impressive ancient town I have been to China. The reason for that might be the experience I had in this impressive ancient town. We went here at the end of July and were lucky enough to witness the Torch festival celebration of local minority Naxi people. They were dancing and we joined them. That was an unforgettable experience. You will see drawing like patterns on the wall. Those are Naxi people characters. They have their own language and alphabet. If you stay in a hostel inside the ancient town you most likely will have a view to the Snow mountain. I would call this town a “wooden ancient town”. Naxi people traditional architecture includes a lot of wood. No wonder in every corner you will see wooden carved doors and windows. There are small restaurants with yummy food. Don’t miss local rose petal mantos for which you have to wait in a long line but it is worth it trust me! There are also small cafe shops and bars with live music for you to have a pleasant night life.

Been Swept Into A New World

Baisha Ancient Town is one of the three ancient towns in "Lijiang Ancient City". Each ancient town has different scenery. What I liked the most here is that there are less people, the town is quiet and comfortable. Baisha isn't that big compare to Lijiang Ancient City but its beauty can't be missed. The buildings here are very well-preserved, the shops are also more stylish. It looks so authentic. It takes about an hour and a half to walk around . You can find souvenir shops, restaurants and bistros. If you wish to take good photos, you should be there in the afternoon around 4:00-6:00. #awesomepic #urbanexplorer

Amazing Lijiang - Baisha Village

Getting There - Baisha Village is about 8km north of Lijiang Old Town. Local bus runs frequently from the city to the village during the day. It is much quieter because it is not so commercialized (yet) and here, you can appreciate Jade Dragon Snow Mountain right in front of you and experience the Naxi people's peaceful daily life. Highlight - Wandering around the Baisha Village, you can enjoy the slow lifestyle of the Naxi People and their friendly smiling faces. I personally like Baisha way more than Lijiang Old Town as the village is much less visited by tourists and hence more local and tranquil. Here you can freely roam around the countryside and enter various courtyards to see the man-made tie-dye artwork hanging for sale or drying in the sun. As the village becomes more well known among travelers, make sure to check it out before it gets too crowded. #hiking #naturalwonders #tigeryear2022 #wintergetaway #naturalwonders

A step back into time!

Baisha is an ancient Naxi town on the tea horse route. It's a mini version of Lijiang. it's very retro and has so many cool bars and cafes. it's not cheap though, a coffee costs about 45rmb. There are amazing views of the mountains You can see Naxi people play traditional music and there are lots of beautiful murals on the wall. You can also buy tie dyed clothes which are beautiful. I will stay here next time, rather than Lijiang. #wintergetaway

Baisha Ancient Town(白沙古镇)

Baisha Ancient Town, about 10km away from Lijiang Old Town, is the oldest town in the 3 towns of Lijiang. It's famous for its Sifangjie, which was also origin of Suhe Old Town and Lijiang Old Town. I like this Baisha Ancient Town. On one hand, it's still very original, not too commercialized, and the viligers are still living there, and not too many visitors. Some we can still have a chance to get to know their lifestyle. On the other hand, it's so closed to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. It feels like the snow mountain is the guide for the old town. Quite a chilled place. But nowadays, more and more mordern shops, hostels are coming into the area. So better go for a visit before it becomes too commercialized. 🚎 Baisha Stop, No. 6 bus. 🎫For Free 🕰2 hours would be enough #momentsmission #oldtown #historicalplace

In Baisha!! Mushroom hotpot at the foot of the snow-capped mountain!! So delicious!

When you come to Lijiang, you must visit Baisha! 🤩 Here, I also had a super delicious mushroom hotpot! And you can see the snow-capped mountain, it's really great! There are also many mushroom options, such as Termitomyces albuminosus, boletus, morel, etc., and they are very fresh! 🤤 Cooked in chicken soup, it's so fresh!! You can also cook some yak meat, which is also very delicious! 😭 The texture of the meat is amazing! You can eat until you're full for just a few dozen yuan per person!! It's so cost-effective! 🙌🏻 📍Qianjun Pavilion·Wild Mushroom·Specialty Preserved Pork Rib Hotpot

A hidden paradise, a coffee secret place at the foot of the snow mountain in Baisha Ancient Town.

🏞️ Finally, I came to Lijiang Baisha Ancient Town and encountered this treasure place - Gudugarden·Snow Mountain View Coffee Bar! 🏔️ It's really beautiful~ As soon as you enter the door, the green and the majestic snow mountain in the distance complement each other, and the beauty is not like the world~ The photos are super beautiful~ ☕️ Come on, let's talk about my fairy order! 👀 First of all, it's Gudulatte☕️ The dense milk foam gently wraps the rich coffee aroma, and every sip is a gentle hug, which is simply the best companion for the afternoon~😍 🍵 I also ordered a cup of Dancong Oolong (peach fruit tea + milk tea)! 🍑 The fresh oolong tea base is infused with sweet peach aroma, and a thick layer of milk cover is covered on the top. With a light spoon, the fruit aroma, tea aroma, and milk aroma are perfectly integrated, and every bite is the ultimate pampering of the taste buds~ 🌿 Sitting in the small courtyard outdoors, the sunlight shines on the table through the gaps in the leaves, and the gentle wind and occasional bird calls are heard in the ears. These drinks that make people feel happy are at hand. At this moment, time seems to stand still...

Lijiang has one too!!! Not in Thailand, but in Baisha Ancient Town!!!

When I saw the blue fish tank, I thought I was in Thailand. The light and shadow are played with from every angle. This little wooden house has a pastoral style. I saw the sunlight falling from every angle. The little sister in the store woke up the flowers. My heart is completely healed. ~ Every angle is particularly good for taking photos. The small pot served is delicious. Looking at the beautiful scenery and eating delicious food, this is probably the meaning of travel. Luye, you are so worth it. If you want to have afternoon tea, there are many options here. Just sitting here is already healing. 🏠Luye Courtyard Garden Restaurant

Lijiang | A cafe in Baisha Ancient Town where you can lie down for an afternoon.

👭 While wandering around Baisha with friends, we accidentally found a very nice cafe in an alley! 📷 The decoration style of the store is old school, and the furniture is European-style peach wood. Many corners are very photogenic, but the overall lighting is warm-toned. If you don't like warm-toned photos, it is recommended to bring a cold-toned fill light. 🙋‍♀️ The owner is very polite. There is a dog and two cats in the store, but the cats are shy, so don't scare them. 🍰 The cakes in the store are freshly made by the owner every day, all with animal cream. The snacks are freshly fried, and they are basically all good! There is lemon water, drinks, and wine, and the cups are all very beautiful. 🏠 Store name: Mickey Meow Meow House 📍 Address: Mickey Meow Meow House, Baisha Ancient Town, Yulong Naxi Autonomous County 🕐 Opening hours: 10:00–22:00 💰 Average cost per person: ¥50
