Jianshui Travel Itinerary: 2, 3, and 5 Days

Jianshui, one of Yunnan’s hidden treasures, is steeped in history and cultural charm, offering travelers an authentic glimpse into China’s heritage. Within Jianshui Ancient Town, highlights include the grand Confucius Temple, the refined Zhu Family Garden, the iconic Chaoyang Tower, and the historic Academy Examination Hall. Beyond the town, the graceful Shuanglong Bridge, the well-preserved Tuanshan Village, and the spectacular Swallow Cave reveal both cultural richness and natural beauty.
