Discover Tang Dynasty Treasures: Your Ultimate Travel Guide to Jianshui Ancient City!

#favouriteitinerary 📍 Jianshui Ancient City: Founded during the Tang Dynasty, Jianshui once had four city gates—east, west, south, and north. Due to wars and earthquakes, only the East Gate, known as Chaoyang Tower, still stands today, earning the title "First Tower in Southern Yunnan." 🎫 Most attractions within the ancient city require individual tickets. 🏮Must-Visit Attractions: 🔹 Dashankeng Well: Located near the West Gate, it's best visited at night when it glows like a blue sapphire under the lights. Nearby, there are old tofu shops that use the well water for their brine. After visiting the well, you can taste the local tofu 🧈. 🔹 Xiaojiekeng Well: Also near the West Gate and not far from Dashankeng Well. The water here has two goldfish swimming in it, so be careful not to scoop them up when drawing water. 🔹 Shier Yanjing (Twelve-eye Well): Located on the main street of the ancient city, near the East Gate, it's the largest ancient well complex. The well mouths are now covered with iron nets and the water is no longer drinkable. Travel Tips: Protect the ancient buildings and environment by not littering or touching the artifacts. Enjoy your journey through the historical charm and cultural richness of Jianshui Ancient City! 🏯🌿😊
