This is my second visit to Heshun Ancient Town in Tengchong, Yunnan. The last time I saw Heshun Ancient Town was in the spring of 2018. The first time I saw Heshun Ancient Town was that it suddenly broke from the cold winter to the warmth of spring. The idyllic poetry and tranquility in the ancient town are unique. of.
That time I only stayed in Heshun Ancient Town for less than 3 hours, hurriedly visited the main attractions, ate a piece of wrapped tofu by the big water truck, and left reluctantly. In this ancient town, those deeply hidden streets and alleys, I feel sorry for beating my chest and feet!
After the Spring Festival this year, spring is warm and flowers are blooming, which is a good time to travel. I checked the air tickets and hotels, and found that the prices have dropped collectively, especially the air tickets to many places in Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Chongqing, which are only more than 100 yuan. , 600 yuan, you can save a lot of money.
So I asked my friends to go back to Tengchong Heshun again. This time, we went a step further. In total, I flew from Guangxi to Tengchong for 3 days and 2 nights, and the return flight was from Tengchong to Chongqing. The total airfare was about 1300, without nucleic acid testing , no complicated procedures, just show the green code.
This trip is really to relax and play, so even though there are many places to play in Tengchong, we still did not arrange intensive itinerary, but stayed in Heshun Ancient Town as we wanted. We booked a hotel in the ancient town online, called "Fenglai Mountain Residence. Banshan Hot Spring Hotel", I saw a picture of it on the Internet. It is a beautiful villa built on the mountainside of Laifeng Mountain. There are gardens, terraces, and hot springs. It looks peaceful and quiet. good looking.
Although the plane landed very late, the boss still personally went to the airport to pick up and drop off the plane for free. When we first met, I felt very easy-going, without any airs of the boss. After getting along with him for a few days, I realized that he is from Gansu. He used to work in Chongqing. Because he fell in love with In the next few years, the young couple invested more than 4 million yuan to build this poetic and picturesque hotel. The proprietress is a typical Tengchong girl with a gentle personality, hardworking and capable, and she decorates the hotel as beautifully as a fairytale hut in the mountains.
After entering the ancient town, walk along a few winding stone steps to the front of the hotel. A narrow alley has been cleaned up. The sun is shining obliquely on the white walls, blue tiles and pots of succulents. Warm, soft and quiet, it is the garden of dreams!
Through the glass wall of the lobby bar, the outside scene is clear at a glance. The sky is blue and white in the daytime, and the sky is full of rays in the evening. Walk out of the room and walk down the stairs to a courtyard filled with various flowers and fruit trees. Spring is full of vitality. We sat in the courtyard all afternoon, taking pictures, retouching pictures, and chatting. The boss also provided free afternoon tea. The refreshments were pine cakes bought by the grandmother in the ancient town market, and freshly baked by the neighbor next door. The fresh flower cake, the gauze curtain gently blown by the breeze, the hot air of the tea dances, and the fragrance of magnolia flowers is faintly visible. If time can be paused, this moment is also a good time.
There are only 8 rooms in the entire hotel, and each room has a different design. The overall tone of pure white is very simple and fashionable. I live in the panoramic terrace suite on the top floor. The name is quite Zen, called "Jingqian". Divided into 4 parts, the entrance is a Chinese-style living room with wardrobes, tea tables, and Chinese-style wooden sofas.
On the right side of the living room is a large bathtub and a wooden washstand, where you can enjoy the antique scenery outside the window while soaking in the bath.
Behind the living room is a spacious bedroom. There are sofas and bedside tables on both sides of a large bed. The most surprising thing is that the bed is facing a huge floor-to-ceiling glass window, overlooking Heshun ancient town.
Every evening around 7 o'clock is the most beautiful time here, because this angle is just right to enjoy the beautiful sunset. The glow of the sky seems to spread on the bed, and the whole hotel is enveloped in a soft rose color.
The terrace is half the size of a room. Standing on the terrace, the ancient buildings, forests, and distant mountains are transformed into rich and charming colors. This is really the most suitable viewing spot for watching the sunset in Heshun Ancient Town.
The hot springs in Tengchong are very famous. After dinner, the boss prepared hot spring water for us. The hot spring water was transported from Rehai, stored in the hotel, and poured into the soup pool when there are guests. All spring water is really rich in minerals. The breeze is blowing, the sky is full of stars, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing. Just soaking in hot springs and drinking a little wine like this is rare to be so relaxed.
The proprietress said that the century-old vegetable street in the ancient town is very lively every morning, so she got up early the next morning and took us to the vegetable street and eat thin bean noodles. Most of the ancient town was still in the silence of the morning, but a Walking into the vegetable street, it immediately became noisy, and the narrow cross street paved with volcanic stones was crowded with people coming and going.
One street sells pickled vegetables and ingredients, one street sells green vegetables and pastries, and the other street sells fruits and flowers, many of which I have never seen before. I tried it, and the next moment, another elder sister showed me a strange fruit and let me taste it. It was like a museum of ingredients, fresh and cheap, and I bought a few of the same, and it turned out to be a table for afternoon tea.
There is a breakfast shop in the vegetable street. It looks like it has been open for many years. The old man baked bait and rice balls on the street outside the door, and was wrapped in a burst of heat. I asked him for a portion of thin bean flour and a piece of bait , a rice ball, and only then did I know that thin bean flour is best eaten with slightly roasted bait pieces. After eating the soft thin bean flour, it will warm your stomach.
The sun is gradually rising, and it is another warm day. The sun gradually occupies every alley in Heshun Ancient Town. Under the low eaves, there are exquisite cafes, jewelry stores, specialty shops, as well as Heshun Library, Ai Siqi Memorial Hall, Ancient bridges, ancient archways, there are many century-old trees here, with twisted branches, graceful and graceful, and luxuriant branches and leaves.
Ai Siqi is a great Marxist philosopher, educator, and revolutionist. Every time he comes to his former residence, which is the Ai Siqi Memorial Hall, he has to take pictures, especially the beautiful alley with firecrackers. Every March, the orange The yellow firecrackers bloom very lively, and the bees are buzzing and flying around, but they don't sting. Strings of flowers hang down to the ground, like beautiful curtains.
The museum is always quiet. Ai Siqi's sculpture stands in the center of the courtyard, surrounded by flowers in full bloom. There is also a deep courtyard in the courtyard. Imagine the scene where Ai Siqi once strolled in the courtyard and watched the wind and clouds.
Heshun Ancient Town is too big. Even though I have been here twice, I still haven’t finished walking. I can’t even figure out its overall structure. I only know some of its components, such as the streets and cafes there. , Several memorial halls.
The food in Heshun Ancient Town, in addition to the various snacks, barbecue, and thin bean flour of the big waterwheel, you can also taste the wild mushroom fire pond, which is a restaurant opened by the lake, using stone pots carried back from Motuo, Tibet , all kinds of fungi and native chicken are fully boiled, stewed into golden yellow, exuding an attractive aroma.
There is a firepit next to the pot, where you can roast beef and pork belly. The boss especially recommends Jianshui's tofu, which is very delicious when roasted so sizzling and oily.
If you want to walk around, you can go to Jietou to see the rapeseed flowers in this season. These days, the flowers are blooming beautifully. The rapeseed flowers in Jietou stretch as far as the eye can see, combined with the farmhouses, woods, and fitness roads, the sky is high and cloudy It is thin and is very beautiful!
