Description
Traditional architecture in the Sideng market square of Shaxi Old Town, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan province, China. A historic market town situated between Dali and Lijiang, Shaxi was one of the important trading centers on the Tea-Horse Caravan Road for several hundred years. It was part of a trade link that spread across China and Asia from its origins in Pu'er county in Yunnan. It is probably the best preserved of the caravan oasis towns from the era – and the only one with a still-functioning market, where Bai and Yi villagers converge to trade goods and livestock.
