Shanxia Nature Studio & Café

Travelers say that Li Zhenhao's 'Shanxia Studio' is not only a handicraft studio and café, but also a wonderful museum of Yunnan plant specimens. What's more special is that all of these were collected by herself, so each plant has its own story. Lao Shuai from the cycling group said that we need to start riding half an hour earlier, because some people pass by Li Zhenhao's place and can't move on, staying for half an hour. (His cycling activity 'Riding Cangshan and Erhai | Visiting Villages and People' passes through the village at the foot of Wuwei Temple, which is the village where Li Zhenhao's studio is located.)

Moreover, the hospitable Li Zhenhao always prepares tea and snacks for passing guests, where they can rest and look at the specimens of various strange fruits and plants—it's truly delightful.

If you happen to be here and have extra time, you can also take a walk to the nearby Wuwei Temple. This was a royal temple during the Dali Kingdom, where several emperors became monks. It is said to be the prototype of Tianlong Temple in Jin Yong's novel 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils'. Along a stone-step mountain path beside a stream, you ascend to Wuwei Temple, which is simple, quiet, and surrounded by forest.
