Recommend an off-the-beaten-path destination in China

Compared to Dali and Lijiang, I think this small city in central Yunnan is more worth visiting. Since the Ming Dynasty's Hongwu era, a large number of Han people migrated to Yunnan, bringing the culture of the Central Plains. Moreover, being far from wars, Yunnan has retained many Ming and Qing buildings. I must visit Red River State every year, and there are many places to see, Shiping is one of them. - 🌴🌴Itinerary Day1⃣ Kunming/Jianshui—Shiping Ancient Town—Confucian Temple—Yilong Lake Day2⃣ Yuan Jiagu Memorial Hall—Shiping Little Train—Baxin—Tuanshan Village—Home - 🔸Shiping Ancient Town A 600-year-old ancient town built by Ming Dynasty immigrants, with a long history. The Confucian Temple and Yunnan's only top scholar were born here. The ancient town with its bluestone roads is really worth a leisurely stroll, and the prices are super low. 🔸Shiping Little Train The former meter-gauge train, established in 1936, runs daily between Baxin, Jianshui, and Shiping, and it's really beautiful. 🔸Yilong Lake One of the plateau lakes in Yunnan, quieter than the crowded Erhai Lake, and there are also seagulls. 🔸Tuanshan Village A 600-year-old ancient village, one of the living ancient villages today. It is a gathering place for the Yi people, very peaceful and comfortable, very suitable for a relaxing visit. 🔸Baxin The transfer station between Shiping and Jianshui, the Wang family's residence in the town combines Chinese and Western architecture and is really beautiful. The Hui Lan Bridge Pavilion has a history of a hundred years. - 🍔About Food 🔸Ma Li Snacks: The stuffed tofu and rice noodles are very good. 🔸Yong Jian Restaurant: The home-cooked dishes are very good. 🔸There's a street market on Ancient City Road: It's full of cheap fruits, strawberries for ten yuan per jin in winter, who knows. - 🌴🌴Tips 🔸Actually, there's not much to do, just look at the buildings, take some photos, and eat - it's a very leisurely and comfortable feeling. 🔸There is no high-speed rail yet, so you can only drive yourself or go to Jianshui first and then take a bus, so you can play together.
