Jianshui is without any doubt
the most beautiful city in South Yunnan.
210km away from Kunming and roughly located
between the capital of Yunnan and Yuanyang,
Jianshui may look at a first sight similar
to any other Chinese town, with some modern
buildings and busy streets. But Jianshui
keep a village atmosphere, with old streets
and some traditional houses, located all
around the city, and especially around the
Chaoyang Gateway Arch in Jianshui Old Quarter.
Confucius Temple, right in the center, is
the second biggest temple dedicated to Confucius
in China. Worth to check are also the Zhu
Family Garden (where we advise you to stay
overnight), Zhang Family Garden out of town
located in the lovely Tuanshan village.
All those attractions make Jianshui an ideal
stopover between Kunming and Yuanyang.
