"Eternal Love" Filming Location Guide: Puzhehei Qingqiu, Caihuaqing, and a Two-Day Itinerary
清晨站在普者黑的湖边，喀斯特孤峰从薄雾里一座座浮出来，水面只有小船划过的声音。这里没有悬在云端的宫殿，却有《三生三世十里桃花》里“青丘”最重要的山水底色。剧中的狐狸洞、桃林和村落外景，主要在云南文山州丘北县普者黑景区的菜花箐一带完成。

"Si Teng" Filming Locations Guide: Complete Itinerary of Shangri-La, Dali, and Xishuangbanna
In the forests of Pudacuo, tree roots stretch across the wetlands, and a thin mist slowly drifts into the woods from the direction of Shudu Lake. Much of the fantastical atmosphere surrounding Qin Fang's fall and Si Teng's awakening comes from this highland forest itself. The production team didn't confine all the scenes to a studio; instead, they searched along the Yunnan coast for real spaces where vines, trees, lakes, and ancient cities could coexist.
"Go to Where the Wind Blows" Yunnan Filming Locations Guide: Complete Route of Windy Courtyard, Shaxi, Xizhou, Erhai Lake, and Zhoucheng
The stone-paved road leads uphill from the entrance of Fengyangyi Village, with tie-dyed cloths drying along the walls, and the earthen walls of the old houses bathed in the warm yellow sunlight. Reaching the gate of "Youfeng Courtyard," the courtyard before you is smaller than what you see on television, yet the village itself is more complete than depicted in the drama. Although the story of Xu Hongdou moving into Yunmiao Village is fictional, the ancient Tea Horse Road, Bai ethnic courtyards, rice paddies, and Erhai Lake that make up Yunmiao Village can actually be visited.
Shaxi Ancient Town In-Depth Travel Guide: The perfect ancient town along the Tea Horse Road between Dali and Lijiang for a slower pace of life.
Driving from Dali towards Lijiang, many people stop at Shaxi as a rest stop. On the map, it's just an ancient town in the southwest of Jianchuan County, sandwiched between two more famous names: Dali and Lijiang. But once you actually step into Shaxi Ancient Town, you'll find its value lies precisely in its unassuming nature. The stone slabs are worn smooth by footsteps, wooden doors are ajar, some people are taking photos in front of the ancient stage, while others simply sit and daydream. The wind blows through Sideng Street, its sounds less than the signs, and time seems to slow down.

Shaxi Ancient Town and Chuxiong Yi Ancient Town: The most worthwhile slow-paced journey in my Yunnan trip to write about separately.
[Key Summary] If I didn't write the full 12 days, I would break down "Shaxi Ancient Town + Chuxiong Yi Ancient Town" into a separate cultural travel article. Shaxi would focus on the search intent of "Tea Horse Road, ancient town, slow travel," while Chuxiong would add the experience of "Yi culture, Torch Festival, and nighttime performances." Putting the two together would be more substantial than writing about a single photo spot.
