Located halfway from Lijiang to Dali, Shaxi Ancient Town is well-preserved in a traditional way of life that offers a glimpse into a forgotten era. Shaxi has a long history that dates back to its role as a trade station on the Tea and Horse Caravan Route, also known as the South Silk Road, which is concentrated on Yunnan province and links up China, Tibet, Myanmar and parts of Thailand and Laos. A new highway has made the driving distance from Dali to Shaxi or Lijiang just 90 minutes. Due to the help of the local government, Shaxi Ancient Town is getting more and more popular among tourists.
