The fireworks of the Southern Silk Road Post Station through 600 years of time and space

🌈Attractions: Dashiban Ancient Village is a 600-year-old village on the shore of Qionghai Lake in Xichang. It was once an important town on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road and the Southern Silk Road. Here, bluestone roads crisscross, mud-walled and gray-tiled houses are scattered in an orderly manner, ancient trees are towering, and streams are gurgling, just like a pastoral painting of "leisurely seeing the Nanshan Mountains". The Lingying Temple, a landmark attraction in the village, has become a popular Trip Moments spot with its bright "Hermes orange" exterior and Buddhist paintings, while the remains of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, the ancient theater, and the Five Provinces Guild Hall tell of the past when the village was crowded with merchants. The ancient village perfectly combines Yi culture, natural scenery and modern homestays. You can cook tea around the stove and listen to Sanskrit chanting, or wear Yi costumes and take photos. It is the "poetry and distance" that urban people yearn for. 📅Travel route: Day Trips: Morning: Trip Moments at the Orange Wall of Lingying Temple→Exploring the Alleys of the Ancient Village (Zhou Family Courtyard, Tea-Horse Posthouse)→Tasting Snacks at the Tea-Horse Market Afternoon: Cycling in Qionghai Lake/Watching the sunset at Jinlin Beach→Bonfire Party (only in winter) Two-day tour: Day 1: In-depth tour of the ancient village (Lingying Temple + Five Provinces Guild Hall + White wax handmade experience) → Overnight at the lakeside B&B Day 2: Hiking in Luoji Mountain/Photography in Huanglian Earth Forest → Return 👨👩👧👦Theme route: 🔷Family trip: Flower Sea Train→Interaction with cute pets in Binhai Park→DIY crafts in Geometry Bookstore 🔷Trip Moments Party: Yi ethnic costume experience → Ancient trees/orange walls/rammed earth houses → Sunset silhouette 🚗Self-driving tips: 1.
