Shangli, Sichuan, China - it's not frequented by western tourists much, but Chinese tourist flow in and out of the small riverside village, stopping to buy local specialties and to sip tea in an almost perfect atmosphere. The village was once a starting point for coolies carrying loads of tea to Tibet. It was also a stop for the Red Army while walking the Long March, a fact that's supported by the carvings that can be seen on stone tablets in Shangli.

Many of China's ancient towns feel too fixed up, too renovated. Shangli does not. It's charm and it's natural setting makes it a perfect stopover before heading to the Bifeng Panda base or the gateway to Tibet, Kangding (https://youtu.be/GjdqIAK6wfM).
