Day 3: Maotai Town → Tucheng Ancient Town
Spend the entire day exploring Tucheng Ancient Town, a thousand-year-old salt transport town that is quieter, more original, and less commercialized than Zhenyuan Ancient Town. As an important port and distribution center for salt transportation from Sichuan to Guizhou in ancient times, the town boasts a rich commercial culture and well-preserved traditional architecture. Wander along the Boat Gang Old Street, visit the salt transport wharf, experience the production of traditional hand-made brown sugar, and listen to stories of the Chishui Boat Gang.

In the afternoon, explore the cave with a professional English guide, taking a gentle hike along safe wooden plank roads to see underground rivers, stalactites, and other stunning underground karst wonders. The cave maintains a constant temperature of 15℃ year-round, so please bring a light jacket.
