The first time I took a group tour, I signed up for a low-cost group tour with everyone. Although I am full of expectations for Tengchong, I am more apprehensive about this low-cost tour that includes food, accommodation and three flights. Since it is according to everyone’s wishes , let’s go all out and give it a try. Fortunately, we have a large number of people, and we are a team that can endure hardships and stand hard work.
The day before the departure, we arranged for an express train, but it was a Buick GL8. It happened that the six of us could go to the airport together in one car. Arrived at Terminal 1 of Beijing Airport at 5:30 in the morning. The snow was just falling, and the weather forecast was accurate. Flight HU7211 originally took off at 7:40, but it was delayed by more than an hour due to a mechanical failure (I later learned that the flight of the other friends from Beijing who were in the same group as us was later due to the heavy snow and did not take off until evening. It is early morning in Kunming). After a period of violent shaking and ups and downs, the plane finally landed at Kunming Airport. The travel agency's car was waiting there. Several groups of people from the previous and subsequent flights got on the car and were taken to their respective hotels. The driver told them the breakfast time tomorrow morning, boarding time Leave after car time. The first day in Kundi is free to move, the travel agency provides accommodation, and the rest of the meals are taken care of by yourself. Because the team members of the temporary organization come from different provinces and cities, and the arrival time is different, so I have to wait for other members in Kunming, and travel with the group for the first time. It turns out that this is a group of individual travelers.
I came to Yunnan in September last year and missed Dianchi Lake due to unfamiliar roads. This time I had the opportunity to make up for it. I had plenty of time in the afternoon. I took a taxi from Mingchun Hotel to Dianchi Lake for more than 40 minutes, and finally saw red-billed seagulls.

We originally planned to go out to the pedestrian street from Dianchi Lake. On the way to Dianchi Lake, the taxi driver suggested to us to go to Guandu Ancient Town. The driver told us that the ancient town is more lively than the pedestrian street and that it is easy to take a taxi when we come back. Guandu was once a well-known ancient ferry in central Yunnan, and it is also one of the famous historical and cultural cities and ancient towns in Kunming.

This is my first time traveling with a group. I don’t know if I will have time to take pictures in a down-to-earth manner from tomorrow. I cherish the short half-day free time and go shopping. . . eat. . .
Figure 2-2 There is such a long queue at this bakery, it must be delicious, right? Comrades are too lazy to wait, and have no regrets.

After breakfast, take a 9-seater car with two other guests to Kunming Airport, where flight KY3019 takes off at 11:30. Perhaps the air in Yunnan is good. Although there is a layer of mist, vehicles smaller than ants can still be seen moving on the ground at an altitude of several thousand meters. Most of the Kunming Feitengchong passes through mountains, and almost all the fields are terraced fields, some of which are small and some of which are large-scale, even if viewed from a high altitude, they are quite spectacular. We arrived at Tengchong Airport after a 50-minute flight. We met our first tour guide Xiao He who came to pick us up. The tour guide Xiao He is a girl from the Dai ethnic group and always has a smile on his face. Several batches of guests have arrived (our flight seems to be the last to arrive), followed Director He to the bus, and 31 people, old and young, from different provinces and cities formed a travel team. We started our trip. Gather the team members and it’s past 1:00 noon. Everyone is hungry. The first group activity of the new team is to have lunch. Director He said that the Li people don’t talk about eating, but dry rice. When they are hungry, everyone will have a good time. Go do it.

Tengchong Rehai Park is located in Qingshui Township, Tengchong County, Yunnan Province. There are more than 80 hot springs in the volcanic hot sea. There are many gas springs and hot springs. Surrounded by volcanic hot sea and green mountains, the water is noisy, the scenery is rich in resources, the environment is beautiful, the whole valley is steaming, and the smell of sulfur is floating in the air. The most spectacular big rolling pot gathers the most tourists, taking pictures and boiling eggs. . .

Tengchong Beihai Wetland Park is 12.5 kilometers away from Tengchong County. Beihai Wetland belongs to the plateau volcanic barrier lake ecosystem. The phone is too far away to take a good picture.

I bought a so-called imported black pineapple at a stall at the entrance of the scenic spot (because I have never seen a black pineapple), and I found out that I was fooled when I came back to eat at night. In fact, the pineapple is no different from what I usually see. The black color is just artificially added Just a layer of black plastic film.
After dinner, Director He pulled a car to go to Dongshan Hot Spring Village to soak in hot springs. There are many outdoor hot spring pools to choose from according to your preferences. I like this pool the most. It is quiet with few people and the temperature is suitable. You can lie down and watch the starry sky, which is comfortable and enjoyable. Staying at the Yanhu Business Hotel, the environment is much better than yesterday.

The breakfast was almost out of food after a while, and there were no new ones. Except for the rice noodles, eggs and steamed buns that were ordered at the window, there was nothing else, not even the white rice porridge. The breakfast in this hotel is a bit inferior.
The National War Cemetery was built by the people of Yunnan to commemorate the Anti-Japanese Expeditionary Army. It is a memorial cemetery built by the people. The memorial hall at the entrance of the cemetery was built by the government later. The Chinese Expeditionary Army was a Chinese army that entered Burma to fight against Japan during the Anti-Japanese War, and it was the anti-Japanese Kuomintang team. The average age of the soldiers of the 53rd Division of the Expeditionary Army and the 54th Army is only 18 or 9 years old. In order to fight against the Japanese invaders, they died for the country at a strange age. This hillside is full of their tombstones. Tengchong National Martyrs Cemetery is the earliest and largest cemetery for anti-Japanese martyrs of the national army in the country. Thousands of anti-Japanese expeditionary soldiers' souls rest here. The tour guide Xiao He explained in detail with his voice and emotion. For the first time, he learned about the Burma Road, the Expeditionary Army, and the Flying Tigers. . . The atmosphere along the way was a bit depressing, and the temperature was only a few degrees, making it even colder. Finally, flowers were presented to the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese War to show our respect.

The Yunnan-Burma Highway is known as the magnificent epic of the "China-Myanmar-India Battlefield" during World War II. In order to support the Anti-Japanese War and ensure smooth transportation between China and the world, local ethnic minority women and children paid blood and tears. At that time, about 20 of the nearly 30 counties along the road Thousands of people were conscripted to build this road. The road construction army was composed of Han, Yi, Dai, Jingpo and other ethnic groups. Most of the 200,000 road construction troops were old people, women and children because most of them were young and middle-aged. Without advanced road-building tools, this lifeline was built with flesh and blood by relying on shoulders and hands. The big stone mill that rolled the road is still quietly displayed in the National Cemetery. Director He said that until now, any Japanese in western Yunnan is strictly prohibited from stepping into this land (with backbone).

For lunch in Mangshi, Director He chose a restaurant that not only has good food, but also a great environment. After lunch, head straight to Ruili.

Ruili Port, the China-Myanmar border, on the side of the gate is China, and on the opposite side is Myanmar. Through the iron fence in the distance, you can see the flow of people and vehicles in Myanmar on the opposite side. Xiao He said that because Myanmar is currently at war, the travel agency does not organize a team to cross the border, and everyone can only take pictures at the gate of the country. It only took a few minutes to take photos, but all tourists still need to get off the bus and take their luggage to undergo customs inspection when walking back. This is probably related to the fact that this is a hard-hit area for pornography, gambling and drugs.

Bianzhai Shoutsha, one of the top ten beautiful villages in China, is a small Dai village on the China-Myanmar border, about ten kilometers away from the urban area. It is a simple and simple Dai village with strong ethnic customs. All kinds of vegetables, fruit trees, phoenix bamboo, flowers and plants. We were received by an authentic Sichuanese. Her parents were educated youths who came here to jump in the queue. She grew up here and returned to the city with her parents. A few years ago, the local government chose to speak Dai and understand the policies in order to develop local tourism. She is a cultural inheritor, and invited her back here to be the inheritor. She introduced the Li culture and the local customs and customs to us, and learned that Huasha means golden resting place in Dai language (meaning here is also the most A place suitable for human life), and understand why they have to hand over all their property to the monastery when they get old. It turns out that the monastery provides for them completely free of charge. It seems that they came to communism before us. Bianzhai Huasha Village is also the filming location of "Peacock Princess" and "Journey to the West".

The white elephants in the Water Splashing Square are surrounded by Thousand-handed Buddhas, implying peace, health and good luck. This is an important place for the most solemn and sacred Dai New Year "Water Splashing Festival" every year for the Dai people.

After the tour, it was already dark. For dinner, we tried hand-picked rice at the Dai restaurant in the village. It is one of the characteristics of this place to use the top of the head when serving and closing the table.

The Benqing Hot Spring Hotel where we stayed tonight, the environment is very good, the hotel has hot springs, and each room gives 2 hot spring tickets. The hot water in the room washes over the body, and the hands are warm and silky, which is very comfortable. Although I took a shower after soaking in the hot spring, I couldn't help but take another hot bath before going to bed.
