Situated south to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, north to Dragon Spring and east to Zhishan Mountain, Baisha Old Town was the part of the world-famous Lijiang Ancient Town and the origin of chieftain Mu family. It’s also a place with a strong Naxi flavor. People regard it as the “Kingdom of Ancient Naxi Nationality.”  Some people say that Baisha is just like Lijiang in a decade ago. The fact is Baisha has its own charm. Everything here still maintained the original appearance. Along the streets, small shops are selling local handicrafts like tie-dye, antiques, and ornaments. Compared to Lijiang, Baisha is more archaic and quieter, making it a wonderful place to travel. Baisha Old Town History of Baisha Old Town Baisha Old Town was the cradle of the Mu family regime and the capital of Naxi nationality.

I love food, especially noodles. I always look for the special noodles when I visit a new place. My friends consider me a noodle expert. Today, I’m making a list of the top ten noodles I’ve ever had in China. I highly recommend them to you. It’s known that noodles are mostly consumed in northern China, where wheat crops are more suitable. However, noodles are not exclusive to northerners but the delicacy for all Chinese people.  No.1: Lanzhou Lamian (Lanzhou Hand-pulled Noodles ) Lanzhou Lamian is the best noodles I’ve ever had. It’s characterized by plain soup, beefy aroma, and the long, thin noodles. There are five standards to judge if a bowl of Lanzhou Lamian is good, namely, plain soup, white radish, red capsicol, green coriander and garlic bolt, and yellow and oily noodles. The noodles are chewy, and the soup is tasty. It’s no wonder Lanzhou Lamian is regarded as the No.1 noodles in China.
