A classmate sent a photo of the yellow leaves of Tengchong ginkgo on WeChat. After staying at home for nearly a year, I finally couldn't hold back my inner yearning, and I went on a trip with a few companions! At 4:00 p.m. on December 10, the first stop was Feitengchong, Nanning, and it was transferred in Kunming. It was already 8:00 p.m. when we arrived in Tengchong. Tengchong is a small town in the west of Yunnan, adjacent to Myanmar. The expeditionary force set off from here and opened a southwestern supply line. Great passage. A meritorious city. The four of us took the bus from the airport, 20 yuan per person, the driver was very enthusiastic to introduce the bus route to us, let us get off at the tourist station, and told us the environment of the surrounding hotels. After thanking the driver, we stayed in Fengfeng Source theme hotel. A very good value for money hotel. The little sister in the lobby told us how much it costs to go to Ginkgo Village by bus and how much it costs to charter a car. The next morning, the four of us slept until we woke up naturally, had a good breakfast and took a taxi to Gingko Village at ten o'clock.
On the way to Ginkgo Village, there are not many yellow leaves left on both sides. It must be beautiful if you come here in early December. Arrived at Ginkgo Village around noon, the sun was shining brightly. After getting off the bus, the proprietress of the B&B was waiting for the guests. They took us to her home. It was a very nice small yard with a hundred-year-old ginkgo tree and only a piece of Rehmannia glutinosa left leaves, tables, tea, and roasted beans are placed in the center of the yard. The surrounding board houses exude a woody fragrance. The sun shines through the leaves on the small table in the yard, which is romantic and warm.
We put down our simple luggage and took the camera to take pictures. Tell the proprietress that we will come back at two o'clock for rice noodles.
The whole Ginkgo Village is a yellow world covered with golden leaves. Under the breeze, the trails, low walls, yards,...the fallen leaves are all golden. Like a small village like a fairy tale.
Climb up the wall, show off your waist, and sway your youthful tail wantonly
The folk customs in the village are simple, and the gates of each yard are open. Whether you are a tenant or not, you can go in, take a look, take pictures, and enjoy tea and beans. Asking directions is also very enthusiastic,
In the small courtyard in the afternoon, the sun shines like gold
This is exactly the line I like, pure and niche. The snacks and specialties sold by the villagers on the roadside are not expensive compared to those outside. Because it was the first stop, I couldn’t bring them with me. I bought a pound of dried sweet potatoes for 10 yuan a pound. I eat them on the road. They are delicious. The students also bought peach gum and ginkgo, which are not expensive.
For dinner, the proprietress made ginkgo chicken soup, bacon, and sausage for us. Very delicious.
On the third morning, we wandered around the village for a long time. The morning sun slanted under the ginkgo trees, giving people a warm and relaxing feeling.
Vendors on the side of the road warmly recommended farm specialties to us
The fruit hanging on the tree in the small farmyard is fresh and attractive. We asked about it, and the owner enthusiastically asked us to pick it and eat it.
This is the handsome Teddy we met in Ginkgo Village
Stay away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the leisure time of this moment
, After eating lunch, I left Gingko Village, an ancient village that has not yet begun to be commercialized. There are too many negative news about tourism in Yunnan, and I have always had lingering fears about traveling to Yunnan. This quaint village has subverted my perception of Yunnan tourism.
In the afternoon we drove to Beihai Wetland. The sun is shining and the natural environment is well protected!
On the fourth day, I woke up naturally again, and then took a car to the hot spring park. There were many people on weekends, so I took the electric bus to the Atami Hot Spring! The 97-degree hot water is tumbling and steaming in the pot. Snacks such as eggs, peanuts, and yams are stewed next to it. This is one of the Eighteen Monsters in Yunnan. Eggs are sold on skewers.
The air in the mountain is very good. After coming out of the Hot Sea Big Rolling Pot, we take a car to Meimeiquan. There are few people in Meimeiquan, and the tour groups don’t come here. The experience of soaking in hot springs here is very good. It’s almost a pool for the four of us. There are Chinese medicines Pool, Ginger Pool. Free scented tea. I feel sleepy after soaking, so I can go upstairs to have a snack after I rinse off. After a good rest, we will take the car to the restaurant to eat rice noodles! · (included in the ticket). After dark, I called Didi back to the hotel to sort out the photos, videos, and post on Moments for the day.
On the fifth day, we bid farewell to Tengchong and took the shuttle bus to Ruili. Here is a special reminder, for those who are not used to carrying cash to go out, only cash is accepted when buying shuttle tickets. It happened that our classmate brought five hundred yuan in cash and caught up with the 9:30 bus. For Chinese food, eat milk and cakes delivered by Fengyuan Hotel. It was another sunny day in Ruili. Ruili is not big and borders Myanmar on all sides. Here are mainly Dai and Jingpo people. It is mainly based on tourism. After the outbreak, the border between China and Myanmar was closed, and the city was depressed a lot. There are also very few people in the duty-free zone. One of my favorite fashion magazines is called Ruili. I thought this city was also full of fashion and romance, but I was a little disappointed when I arrived. We swam to a single tree forming a forest, and Mr. Guo Moruo mentioned the word "Ruili".
In the afternoon, if you go to Yizhai and the two countries, the entrance fee will not be halved, and there will be more people. This is originally a village, where villagers from China and Myanmar live. Because the epidemic is separated by barbed wire, and because it is close to China, the living standard of residents in this village is much better than that in Myanmar in recent years. When children study in Chinese schools, they enjoy the same treatment as us, free of tuition fees and free Chinese meals. The children speak Chinese very well. Many of them are man-made landscapes now, and the long-neck performances we hoped to see are gone. I heard that they went back to Myanmar.
In the evening, I ate a big meal of the Dai nationality. It was not as delicious as expected, and the taste was too strong. At night, I went to the night market to watch gambling stones. In Ruili, because of the epidemic, you can live in a three-star hotel for more than 100 yuan, and the breakfast is also very rich.
On the sixth day, the chartered car master sent us to Mangshi, which is the capital of Dehong Prefecture. The main attractions are Menghua Shwedagon Pagoda and Dayin Pagoda. It is Theravada Buddhism, Mangshi's Buddhist thoughts benefit the surrounding area, I have heard that people who do not understand Buddhism should not take pictures in front of the Lord Buddha. I also visited quietly and took pictures from a distance.
At one o'clock in the afternoon we took the express bus to Dali. The search and inspection was very strict along the way. Every car was carefully checked. When we arrived in Dali at 6:30 in the afternoon, the owner of the homestay booked by Ctrip called a car to pick us up. We booked a hotel near the ancient city. For B&Bs, the accommodation fee standard is significantly higher than that in western Yunnan. Walking around in the ancient city at night, the ancient city at this time also lost the hustle and bustle of the past. The rose hip wine in Dali is delicious, but it’s a pity that I can’t take it away. I ate local snacks in the ancient city and bought some small handicrafts for friends.
I went back to the B&B. The B&B is in good condition, but the marked breakfast is not provided, and it is said that it is not safe during the epidemic. On the first day in Dali, this romantic place gave us a bad experience!
Our original plan was to stay in Dali for three nights, travel for two days, and visit Haidong and Haixi one day. I forgot to bring my driver's license when I came out, and it was impossible to rent a car. Chartered car costs 350 yuan a day. Swim for a day. Subsequent trips proved this decision wrong.
On the morning of the seventh day, I came to the Bai Nationality Food Street next to the B&B to eat dumplings, and then set off. Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture is famous for its Bai folk houses, with white walls and black tiles, neat and uniform,
There are exquisite patterns painted on the walls.
The car travels through a very distinctive city with white houses. On the side of the road are cherry blossoms that are withering. Next to it is the beautiful sea of ears, beetle cars, sports cars and fashionable young people of various colors on the sea of ears. Dali is full of romantic and fashionable atmosphere.

On the eighth day, take the high-speed train to Kunming at 11 o'clock in the morning, and go to Haigeng Dam at 3 o'clock in the afternoon to feed the red-billed gulls! The sight was spectacular.
, Played until the sun went down, took the bus and transferred to the subway to Kunming Old Street, where there are few people. There are more merchants than tourists, and the dinner is the ever-eat bridge rice noodle. Yunnan rice noodles taste delicious everywhere!
On the ninth day, I bid farewell to Kunming and went home by train. The ten-day free travel was so simple and casual. I walked half of Yunnan, basically focusing on niche attractions: I didn’t go to popular attractions, and friends who like to take pictures still take free Way to go as well. You won't be stuck shopping at the best time of day.
