Shangli

Shangli Halal Travel Guide

Shànglǐ (上里) is a historical village located near Ya'an, Sichuan, China. It's a great, unspoilt place to stop between Chengdu, Leshan or Emei and Kangding.

Shànglǐ was once an important stop on the Silk Road (the Horse and Tea route) and during the Long March. Many slogans can still be seen around the town, carved into rock by the Red Army. Shànglǐ is also known for its 8 different stone bridges of varying style which cross the waterways surrounding the town on all sides.

Tourism here is picking up again after the Sichuan earthquake, but most of the Muslims are predominantly domestic Chinese and foreigners are still somewhat of a novelty.

Travel to Shangli

Minibuses bound for Shànglǐ can be caught from outside the tourist bus station in Ya'an which is a short rickshaw ride (¥6) away from the main bus station.

Get Around

Walk! The town isn't large.

What to See

Exploring on foot is easy enough to do. Look out for:

the bamboo water wheel.

the eight stone bridges of varying style - in particular, look out for Erxian Bridge, made purely out of stone fashioned into a high arch.

the pagoda across the fields opposite town next to the pass through the hillocks which goes to Shànglǐ proper.

the Red Army stone carvings, a display of which can be seen on the riverbank pathway next to where you get down off the shuttle van.

the Han courtyard.

the semi-restored, ancient mill.

Things to Do

Relax, and absorb the village's atmosphere.

Wander into the surrounding countryside.

Muslim Friendly Shopping in Shangli

A plethora of stores catering to the domestic Chinese tourists. Don't expect any English to be spoken!

Halal Restaurants in Shangli

Next to the square outside the Han courtyard and there is a little Noodles shop offering the seemingly local specialty 大肉面 (dàròumiàn; Beef fat Noodles soup), but if you don't want the fat, go for the 牛肉面 (nǐuròumiàn; beef Noodles soup) done in a similar way. The eatery has photos of the head chef with some famous person (I couldn't determine who) in a bigger restaurant which made it look more promising than others.

Relax in the large, comfortable bamboo chairs located right next to the streams. One restaurant has them situated right on the bank of the river but it is quite pricey. Another store, right next to the bamboo waterwheel, has chairs for clients seeking pricey tea, but they don't seem to mind if you buy cheaper refreshments from their store and drink them sitting there.
