Shuhe, Ancient trading settlement in Gucheng District, China

Located at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Shuhe features stone-paved streets, traditional wooden buildings, and a network of water channels through the town.

During the Ming Dynasty, Shuhe developed as a major trading post along the Tea Horse Road, connecting the Tibetan plateau with other regions of China.

The town preserves the architectural heritage of the Naxi people, with traditional residences displaying both Tibetan and Han Chinese influences in their construction methods.

Visitors can reach Shuhe by taking bus number 103 from Lijiang Ancient Town, with the journey lasting approximately 20 minutes to the South Gate entrance.

The Qinglong Bridge, spanning 25 meters across the water, stands as the oldest stone bridge in the Lijiang region, dating back to Ming Dynasty construction.
