Weishan Ancient City 巍山古城
Give Weishan an unhurried walk through its old streets and towers, with breakfast or lunch as an equal part of the visit. The appeal is a whole town at a scale you can enjoy slowly, rather than one staged heritage attraction. If you are choosing between another Erhai photo stop and a food-led day, this is a strong change of texture. Leave time to repeat a street you liked instead of chasing a distant second town.
