- Shuhe is also one of the first settlements of Naxi ancestors.
It is not only a very important town in the Tea-horse Road that leads to Tibet, but also a famous cobbler town.
The cobblers here are as skillful as those in Italy.
The leather products that they make are the best seller in Tea-horse Road.
Because of trading activities along this road, the Naxi people gradually gave up the nomadic life and settled for farming and later started to do business.
Shuhe was built along the mountainside and faces the river.
There are two rivers on each side of it that go through the whole, village. Channels were dug so that the water would pass by each house.
Rivers, channels and roads make a dense web and link the town in a tight structure just like a honeycomb.
People use stones in the nearby mountains to make the walls of their houses. Compared to those in the ancient old town, the houses here are even more natural.
Right in the middle of Shuhe, there is a square market, which is called Shuhe Square Market.
Observing closely, you will find that the one in the old town was built totally according to this one. Walking in Shuhe, you will have the feeling that this ancient town of Shuhe is the model of the Old Town while the Old Town is tension and development of Shuhe.
Shuhe is also called Town of Springs. About one hundred meters north of the Shuhe Square Market, there is the waterhead of the streams here. It is "Jiuding Dragon Pool".
The water is clean and transparent; the fountains spurt out day and night. The Naxi hold the spring as holy. Beside it, people built a Longquan Temple (Dragon Spring Temple) to enshrine and worship the founder of cobbler handicraft.
Shuhe is a small village a couple miles to the north of Lijiang, in Yunnan province.
It has similar old architecture as Lijiang with similar places to buy Naxi woven cloth and products from local artisans.
A major advantage over Lijiang is that it is relatively unknown so the streets are much less crowded and food and lodging is cheaper. In addition to woven goods, there are stores selling wood carvings, Naxi style pottery and silver filigree jewelry. There was an elderly artist whose paintings were all done with the edge of his thumb producing quite astonishing images.
Shuhe Ancient Town, also named Longquan Village (which literally means dragon spring village), is located in the north of Lijiang Ancient City.
In Naxi language, Shuhe means “a village at the foot of a peak”. As the earliest habitation for Naxi ancestors, Shuhe Ancient Town is regarded as a living specimen of the Naxi ancestors’ transition from an agriculture civilization to a commercial culture.
Similar to Lijiang Ancient City, Shuhe Ancient Town is surrounded by a murmuring river and interlaced with smooth flagging.
It is a compact village hidden in the forest, and it lies near mountains and rivers. It is a more peaceful, smaller version of Lijiang Ancient City.
Qinglong Bridge has a history of more than 400 years; it is the landmark building in Shuhe Ancient Town.
The entire bridge was built with stones, and is 25 meters (82 ft) long, 4.5 meters (15 ft) wide and 4 meters (13 ft) high. In early spring, the old bridge is decorated by verdant willows, which form a famous scenic spot in Shuhe.
Sifang Street, a market in the center of Shuhe village, covers an area of about 250 square meters (2,691 sq. ft). It is very lively during market days. Visitors can buy many leather products at the market. Surrounding the market are shops, all of which have archaic wooden facades.
Travelers can buy various handicrafts here, such as unique ornaments and costumes reflecting ethnic styles.
Along the street about 100 meters (328 ft.) away is the fountainhead of a river surrounding the ancient town, a deep pool named Long Pool (Dragon Pool). From Long Pool, the overflowing water winds through the village and the bubbling sounds can be heard miles away.
The locals regard this as a sacred spring, and built Beiquan Temple (North Spring Temple) here as a place to pray. Master leatherworking is enshrined in Sansheng Palace, which is the most unique part of the temple.

Lijian is definitely on my list to visit on my next trip to China along with many others because I cannot get enough of beautiful China. Visiting in 2017 & 2020, I am always in awe of the culture, people, history, natural beauty, technology, safety, … If not for the virus around the world, all my travels would be throughout beautiful China. Beautiful China is my favorite country to visit of all 15 countries I have had the pleasure to visit. Thank you once again for your superior video. 🇺🇸❤️🇨🇳
Thanks for your interesting sharing, friend.
You're always welcome to China!

Fully agree beautiful China. Although Lijian was a bit a disappointment. Luckely my very small hotel (no heating during last springfestival) was in Shuhe. Lijian is a bit too commercial. Shangri-la I liked more. Most of all I like Tibet. Visited October last year. A pity that it is nearly impossible to visit these times unless you live in China. And I am afraid it will be still for a long time if not for ever. I hope to go back in september for at least 14 days. Go to mountain Kailash
@@jozefvervloet766 Thank you so much for your reply & recommendations. I agree that access to beautiful China will be accessible only by its locals for a while because of the pandemic. I am praying the pandemic comes to an end worldwide & every country is medically safe for everyone. Wishing you joy, health & continuous blessings.
welcome😃
I truly admire how clean and organised every places look like. It speaks volume about the mentality and discipline the Chinese people have. Sadly, that is something severely lacking in my own country. The moment I step out of my house, I can see litters everywhere. Well done, China.
Thanks for your nice feedback, dear friend
China used to be dirty and very polluted, it has been improving rapidly over the last 20 years because the government took this issue seriously. A strong and efficient government is the key.
@@dandelionl6146 IT was very poor and people spent most of their time trying to feed themselves. Now that they are prospering there is plenty of time to keep things tidy and clean.
It is more about effective governance than people.
I think it depends on the people, the Chinese people have been an example of discipline and cleanliness for thousands of years🌸
I explored this town 4 years ago when I was staying in Lijiang, such an amazing experience. The beauty and tranquility of this place is surreal. Hearing the gentle water flowing through the streets I can sense the unique atmosphere again. Brilliant, thanks for posting 👍
Thanks for your great sharing, Keith
我的天，兄弟你的视频剪辑手法更新的也太快了，这次感觉有电影质感了，非常适合拍摄这种古镇！你很有天赋也很有实力，加油加油！！
感谢王兄支持，我确实也在不停摸索，不停做实验，有时随心了一点 :)
我会继续加油的！
Agree its like we walking there great camera work videos
I love how these ancient settlements are well maintained and developed to be very attractive tourist sites. China really does an amazing job of promoting its traditional culture and architecture by restoring so many historic gems for us to enjoy. You find these places all over the country and even in their modern cities.
You're always so kind to send me those amazing words, my dear friend.
Thank you!
China is one of my favorite countries and I love their culture !! 😁♥️🇨🇳
Welcome!
The cat is cute and adorable. LiJiang is an amazing place, beautiful buildings, clean rivers, clean streets, people must be friendly.
I love that cat too, dear Gugun!
This place is so breathtakingly magical.
Thanks, dear friend
this kind of architecture is simply amazing , i love the aesthetic!
Thanks, friend, you're amazing too
Me too
Wow, the stream water running through the village is so damn crystal clear. Beautiful.
I love the sound of that water very much...very relaxing..
@@WalkEast Yes, it would be wonderful to sit there listening to water sound enjoying the blue sky afternoon, and off course a cup of nice coffee. ☕
they used to use the water for drinking and cooking before tap water.
Fantastic town, Max! I love these ancient Chinese architectures! It’s so majestic! They called the town the dragon village because dragons are China’s mythical serpents and symbols.
Thanks for you kind support, friend
❤
long 龙🐲 in Chinese
@@lindaisy6567 yes, I know.
the region used to be a tiny kingdom. they assimilated yet they keep their costumes, traditions, and architecture.
Lijiang is definitely one of my itineraries. Yunnan is my top priorities. You r great to share this channels which is a bonus to me to add to my diary. Views r breathtaking. Thanks 4 sharing!😊👍👍💪
Jass, you have a great choice!
I love Yunnan too!

China does have lots of ancient town like this and I'd like to explore them for you, my dear friend
So interesting to see all those roads and houses !!!
Thanks for your support!
素晴らしい村ですね。
メインの通り沿いだけでなく、村全体が古い建物のまま保存されているんですね。
I have been in Lijiang in 2018 but not this lovely old town. I must return there again. Lijiang is one of my places. Beautiful video Thanks.
Welcome back to visit this town, dear Jim
ur videos are amazing, they provide a whole new perspective of china, the western narrative has most of the world thinking that china is suffering and their people r being oppressed when its not true
Thanks for your words, friend
What I wouldn't give to get lost in these winding streets! You can just feel the history here. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Thanks, friend
Thank you so much for your videos of Lijiang, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Shuhe. I visited Old Town Lijiang in 2009 and I promised myself to go back. Now, I can do it through your video. I agree with you that Shuhe looks more "natural" compared to the "glowing" Lijiang which makes it "not so old" 😀.
Yes, yes, yes! I totally agree with you about the natural part!
素晴らしい古鎮ですね。中国の宝とすべき街並みですね‼ 感動しました。
あなたの高い評価をありがとう、そしてあなたとこのビデオを共有することを光栄に思います
I've been to Lijiang but only the old town. Absolutely gorgeous. Most go again to vist the whole area.
Many thanks for the video.
Many thanks to Andrew too!

Heaven on earth, very beautiful ♥️
Good afternoon! This ancient city is very cozy, clean streets, old traditional houses - all this creates the feeling of an ancient city! It is very interesting to look at such houses and streets. Thanks for the walk! I'll be looking forward to the next video! I wonder what city the next video will be about -!?!
Thanks, my friend. Next video is still in Lijiang...
@@WalkEast ok! I will wait next video!
❤
I'm astonished. What a wonderful ancient town. The old houses, the lush weather and the small stream running through its centre! But above all, the mountains in the background! 😆
Couldn't agree more!
Riding a horse through the streets? This is my kind of town. Definitely gonna have to visit. Thanks for taking us around!
Yes, riding a horse freely inside the town!
Are they for rent or do people ride their own? Saw the child and family doing a pony ride but then there was a lady with no lead trotting by
ありがとうございます！
惜しみないご支援、誠にありがとうございました！
Thank you for this video.
This is the type of places in China that I want to live & retire in.
It is something I long for.
If I can liquidate all my assets, I will do that. !!
Places like these bring me back to the 50'
Thanks for your support, friend!

The cat was more interested in the cheetah print trainers than the sausage 😂
Another glorious winters day for you to shoot a WalkEast video tour 🙌🙌 whilst the wind here at the time of writing has high pitched whistling rages and attempts to rip anything it can out the ground in London 😂😬
I do love how these old villages have water ways running through them, what with that, the old architecture all running along together makes for a charming sight.
At 23:36 🐎 I assume this is the traditional or all new carbon neutral Meituan 🦘 service 😂
26:25 🤔 Hong Tao’s new talent show and it’s Guitar Throne 🤷🏻♂️haha
Lovely Husky 😍
Lovely location mate and thank you for taking the time to film and upload for as all 👊
Hahaha, I enjoyed your another interesting comment, my dear friend.

Beautiful Lijiang.
We agree!
Thank you for the ballade!
My great pleasure
虽然这个色彩调得很不错，但我更喜欢原色，更喜欢云南版的蓝。干得不错。
感谢您的意见，我也是在做试验，反正各种风格都尝试下，我尽量靠近原色彩哈
@@WalkEast 这只是我个人的爱好而已，不重要了，你拍摄的品质真的很高。我也喜欢摄影，我住在深圳，有机会当面请教一下。
@@yim7548 您客气啦，有机会我当面请教下您对色彩的理解和感知，感谢支持！
What a nice little history of the town you wrote, thanks!
Our pleasure!
Beautiful like Japan.

Thank you, friend
欢迎来丽江旅游，很喜欢你的视频风格
感谢您的支持，再感谢您的欢迎！
Interesante așezări omenesti ! Fie alungite de-alungul malurilor ridurilor , fie cu străzi asa de înguste incit mașinile nu au acces . Densitate urbană mare! In toate , vestigii ale trecutului îndepărtat foarte bine întreținute. Alta Civilizație , alte obiceiuri dar frumos
Multumesc pentru mesajul tau interesant, multumesc
Greetings from Brasil. Obrigado!
Thank you!
So beautiful video !!😍 great work!!👏
Thanks👏🏻💐
看了这么多小镇总感觉古人选风水宝地有什么诀窍。
查了一下：
阳宅须教择地形，背山面水称人心
山有来龙昂秀发，水须围抱作环形
明堂宽大斯为福，水口收藏积万金
关煞二方无障碍，光明正大旺门庭
真的很简明扼要。
阁下真是爱动脑筋之人，学习啦，期待大家风水顺顺顺！
好美麗的小鎮 真想去玩一玩
超级欢迎！
Great Video
Thanks

束河鎮茶馬古道之路 發展甚早 但茶馬不再 卻十分幽靜 短暫旅遊好去處 靜靜時間慢慢流...
确实是岁月静好好去处
好美喔.
The scenes Look like a Chinese game called 仙剑奇侠传，in the game you can explore those traditional houses and find useful stuff😆
Wow, you know the game very well!
胡歌 thank you!
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
if this was india this place would be a whole lot dirtier, china is indeed one of the most interesting countries in the world
Please don't describe India like that🙏
请问您是用的哪一款相机和镜头拍摄的呢？ 谢谢
please give Indonesian subtitles... thank you 🙏❤️🤗
Thanks for your advice!
good job
Thanks

Really beautiful place.
Thanks for visiting
中国美丽的地方的太多了，很多都有待开发。
确实如此
环境是真不错， 拍摄手法也很赞
感谢支持！

云南是块宝地
绝对的！
this ancient city is much more liveable perhaps because it will be morning, max could you tell me some typical Yunnan food!
Thanks, Cixi friend🌻
👍🏻👍🏻🙏
院长好！
10多年去时，束河要比大研少点商业气氛…另外，能说下您的拍摄设备吗？视频很赞，还有您的视频色彩我也很喜欢
感谢支持，采用松下微单拍摄，视频色彩是最近正在做实验，略微调成了一点艺术色，之前都是没有偏色的，感谢你的喜欢
哈哈，期待您有空来皖南旅游，黄山、九华山（四大佛教名山）、齐云山（四大道教名山）、牯牛降（西黄山），蓬莱仙洞（华东最大的溶洞）
收到，我记住啦！
去年年初我在束河古镇住了2个多月，哈哈那时候我还没有做油管。我朋友在那里工作生活好多年。想起来在那里的好多事情😁
住两个月。。。那真是神仙日子。。你真会享受啊
@@WalkEast 哈哈哈，去丽江出差的，边工作边生活两个月。真的很喜欢丽江
@@TimeWalker 去丽江出差，简直了……可遇不可求
@@WalkEast 哈哈 是不错的经历，疫情之前我就是全球到处跑的 现在都快憋坏了
What video setup do you use Max
朋友们，去了以后一定要尝尝潘祥记的鲜花饼！
鲜花饼确实味道不错
板凳！
感谢叶师傅👣
hi , thnx for videos ,, please take a tour from Chongqing new botanical mall (the Ring) ,, thnx 🙏👍🌹
One day!
Anyone know the singer and the song that plays on loudspeaker around 16:30 and plays through past 19:00?
A very beautiful town. Did you visit Erhai lake?
Erhai is not in Lijiang. I will visit Dali next time, friend
I will wait for your visit there.
26:29 Ok, now I must go
Beautiful guitars
拍得很好，請問用哪款三軸及相機?謝謝喔!
DJI RS2
16:37 青龍橋
40:33 四方街
Thanks
青龙桥旁总有一些村民在卖青菜
想知道什么设备拍的，画面质感超好
感谢支持哈，用松下微单拍的👏🏻💐
Wow wish i could step thru its so beautiful
This is literally Liyue irl
53:43 倒影还看到3dio呢，应该整套机器很重吧😀
好眼力，3dio都能认出…
重，当然重，基本很难单手，都是双手举着，期待科技的创新，能够减轻重量
我以前最喜欢骑车拍摄一手握把，一手举pocket，换成微单后，这种拍摄方式很难继续了
Are you using a go pro camera?
No, sir, it's big mirrorless camera
@@WalkEast wow. Good
