Shuhe Travel Guide — the canal town of the Eight Views - the Qingshi Bridge, the Nine-Ding Dragon Pool and the quiet lanes of the tea-horse road
Shuhe is the quiet sister of Dayan - the ancient market town on the tea-horse road about 4 km north of Lijiang's old town, at about 2,440 m, where the Eight Views of Shuhe (the night market of Sifang Square, the Ming-dynasty Qingshi Bridge, the moon over Longmen, the snow peak in the Nine-Ding Dragon Pool and the stone-lotus night reading of Shiliansi) still set the pace. The field guide budgets RMB 1,000-1,500 for a 1-3 day visit, and the season runs May-October. This guide carries the walks, rides, hotels, restaurants, transport fares and the practical numbers from the guide, so you can plan it yourself or have our team arrange it end to end.
