Lushi Ancient Town
鲁史古镇
The "First Ancient Town" on the Tea-Horse Ancient Road, with well-preserved flagstone streets and old houses. Xu Xiake, the Ming-dynasty traveler, once visited.
Lushi Ancient Town lies in the north of Fengqing County, on a mountain ridge between the Lancang and Heihui Rivers. It was an important post station on the Shunning–Dali Tea-Horse Ancient Road during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is known as the first town of the Tea-Horse Road. Horseshoe marks can still be seen on the bluestone paths of its "Three Streets and Seven Lanes." The town retains the Luo Family Compound, Staircase Street, an old opera stage, and many Qing-dynasty houses. Xu Xiake, the Ming-dynasty traveler, passed through here and recorded his impressions. The ancient town is free to enter. Allow 1 to 2 hours to wander slowly. You can stay at a guesthouse in the old town and drink Dian Hong black tea in the old teahouses. It's about 80 km from Fengqing county town.
