Today only 50 of the area's murals remain, with only six left in Shuhe China travel deals, three of which are in the museum. Many of the faces in the paintings were scratched off, but had it not been for the bravery of a local primary school teacher who protected them from vandals, there would be no murals in Shuhe whatsoever. The museum is currently applying for protected status for the murals.
Visiting Shuhe isn't just about what it used to be, there is also fun to be had in the here and now. At night, many of the larger restaurants and bars in town feature live music, which is usually a singer/guitar setup playing songs for couples visiting from other parts of China. It is also home to the Snow Mountain Music Festival China Holidays, which every year brings musicians from around China and the world together for several days - take a look at behind-the-scenes footage from last year's festival here.
For as small a town as it is, Shuhe has a decent amount of nocturnal activity. We stumbled upon the guesthouse/bar Traveling Horses China travels our first night in town and found ourselves coming back the next two nights for its combination of cozy atmosphere, reasonably priced drinks (a slight problem in Shuhe) and nightly live music. Over the course of three nights, we enjoyed an entertaining mix of folk, rock and indie pop while sipping on cold beers next around a warm fire with travelers from all over China.
It's not as labyrinthine as Dayan, but Shuhe can still a bit of a maze, especially at night when all the dark streets look the same. On our first night in town we managed to get remarkably lost – those beers certainly did not help. It's highly recommended that when venturing out for a night on the town in Shuhe, you make note of your surroundings as you go.
