Shaxi Ancient Town

Ride for another 20 minutes and reach the scenic Shaxi Ancient Town. Shaxi is an old waterside town with a long history dating back to the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368 AD) and provides distinctive sightseeing opportunities and rich specialties. Old houses built along the river, antiquated streets, valleys, bridges, and residences (many of which are the homes of celebrities) have become hallmarks of this township.
