Do you know where Xu Xiake, a veteran traveler, has been to far away places in his life?
He once swayed 30,000 words and lamented the strangeness of mountains and rivers
Until I came here, I exclaimed "the first city on the edge of the pole"
—— Tengchong
Half sea water, half flame——Tengchong
The geological tectonic movement hundreds of millions of years ago made Tengchong jump out of the vast sea, and created a unique landform where volcanoes and hot seas coexist. Clouds and mist rising, flames soaring into the sky, may be the true face of this land hundreds of millions of years ago. The hometown of overseas Chinese businessmen, the hometown of emeralds, is the appearance that later generations "forged" it. Tengchong, a place with a hot name, spread its enthusiasm in all directions on the southwestern border with ancient roads.
The name of Tengchong began in the "Old Tang Book", also known as "Tengchong", which means "a place full of rattan". For more than two thousand years, Tengchong has been an important pass on the Southwest Silk Road. The deep horseshoe prints on the bluestone slabs are not only a post road, but also a commercial and cultural vein that runs through the past and the present. Today, the slow rhythm on the ancient road has been replaced by fast and efficient. But the end points of all the roads have not changed, they are all passages for Tengchong to go to the world.
Heshun Ancient Town records the mysterious charm of tea-horse culture. The world’s rare floating carpet wetland returns to a place where the soul is pure. The rich and diverse springs are like a natural sanatorium, nourishing and caring for the body, skin and soul. In Tengchong, such a poetic life is in the countryside, whether it is moving or still, you can always return home with full enjoyment.
