Where to go in winter? In addition to Sanya, which is already well-known in China, there are also many hidden scenic spots in Yunnan. Unexpectedly, at the end of 2020, I visited Pu'er, a small town on the border of Yunnan for the first time, and I got so many surprises and touches! "Get Home at One Point" tells us that Pu'er not only has tea and coffee, but only if you come in person, you will understand that Pu'er also has the rolling mountains, the rustic and hospitable villages of ethnic minorities, the cute creatures that can be touched at close range, full of history The ancient tea-horse road, and the countless gourmet delicacies!
Check out the same scene in the movie, do you still remember the terrace where Liu Haoran took a photo with coffee?
Walking into the thousand-year-old Blang people's ancient village, whether it is in the Buddhist temple or walking in the village, there is always a sense of looking back at history.
In the music town of Laodabao, you can feel their love for music from the bottom of their hearts. The Lahu people's ability to sing and dance, from an 80-year-old woman to a 5-year-old child, is fully reflected.
Walk the ancient tea-horse road again, watch the osprey catch fish, savor the thousand-year-old caravan culture in the museum, and ride a hard-earned BMW to "be a hero for a while."
When you come to Pu’er, you must drink Pu’er tea. You can see the beautiful scenery of 23,000 mu of tea garden in the China Pu’er Tea Expo Garden.
Staying at Red Panda Manor Hotel, you can enjoy the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. You can take photos with rhinos, feed red deer, and learn out-of-print woodcuts.

Nakeli, an important post station on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, sheds the burden of history and welcomes tourists with a more relaxed attitude, full of ancient rhyme and new life. Drink a cup of roasted tea in the century-old Rongfa horse shop, and listen to the owner talking about the past.
On Christmas Eve, we encountered a "heavy snow" in Pu'er in the tourist town of Tea Horse Ancient City, jumped around the bonfire, and spent an unforgettable Christmas Eve.
The extremely rich natural resources and different ethnic customs make Pu'er a gourmet kingdom!
During this trip to Pu'er, I have gained too many surprises and emotions. I have seen the ancient villages of ethnic minorities, and I have a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, as well as the gluttonous food. This is the most surprising encounter at the end of this year. Let me walk into this amazing journey of five days and four nights in Pu'er.
【Preparation before departure】
1. External transportation: There are three airports to choose from when arriving in Puer: Lancang Airport, Puer Simao Airport, and Xishuangbanna Airport. Generally, most people choose to transfer from Kunming, which are small airports, and it is more convenient to reserve too long.
2. Internal transportation: Pu'er said it is not big. If you take a taxi in the urban area, it is convenient, but if you want to go to several villages in Lancang Jingmai Mountain, it is recommended to charter a car or rent a car to drive by yourself. Public transportation is relatively scarce, or It is more convenient to travel with a group.
3. Regarding the weather: Pu’er’s temperature in winter will not be very low (of course this year is abnormal, those days we went to cool down), the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, even in winter, you may need to wear short sleeves during the day, before going out It is recommended to pay attention to the weather forecast.
4. Regarding the etiquette of ethnic minorities: Yunnan is a multi-ethnic province, and Pu’er also has many ethnic minorities coexisting, so you must respect ethnic customs when traveling

[The old village hidden in Jingmai Mountain retains its simple style]
The biggest touch of this journey is the old villages hidden in Jingmai Mountain. Whether it is the Nuogang Dai Water Village, the Wengji Bulan Village or the Laodabao Lahu Music Town, you can feel the atmosphere in the mountains. A simple. "Get Home at One Point" shows his beauty, but only when you really come here, can you feel the beauty of healing in Hayao Miyazaki's comics. It's so comfortable, you don't want to leave after staying here .
※The two big trees in the movie are watching over the tea plantation heights
The two big banyan trees in the movie "Get Home at One Point" have appeared many times, and these two big banyan trees are real. No one can tell how old these two big trees are, and only five or six people can hug them The thick and thick trunk, I think it should be at least a hundred years old.
These two big trees are on a high ground, surrounded by sugarcane fields and 10,000 mu of tea mountains. What is strange is that only these two big trees stand "solitary" and rely on each other. Now there are no traces of filming at that time, but under the tree, you can shoot beautiful large portraits, and the light and shadow of the leaves are like a dream.
My friends had a great time shooting here. Compared with other scenic spots, there are almost no tourists here.
Tips: The navigation can locate the group of Yunpan Laozhai, Hanguping Village, Huimin Town, Lancang County, Puer City
※Nuogang Ancient Village is known as Longevity Village and retains the customs of the Dai people
In "Get Home at One Point", there is a scene where the coffee promotional photo was shot in the Nuogang Dai Water Village in Lancang County, Pu'er. "Nuogang" means "the place where deer drink water" in Dai language. It is said that there used to be a large herd of deer that often came here to drink water, so it got its name. Because there are so many forests here, the streams are so clear, and the village is so quiet, people and nature are very harmonious. The village is surrounded by mountains, and among the mountains, such a beautiful environment has been created.
Walking into the ancient village, tranquility and simplicity are the first impressions. The whole village completely retains the customs of the Dai people and the simple folk customs, as if thousands of years have left no traces on it.
Residential houses are all stilt-style buildings, generally two floors, composed of three parts: the main room, the stairwell platform and the balcony. The first floor is stacked with sundries, and the second floor includes dining. A pair of yellow ox horns are installed on the top of each eaves as an important architectural symbol.
The village is composed of the village center, folk houses, Buddhist temples, sala houses and laneways, and there are four trees with different symbolic meanings guarding the village. Among them, the Buddhist temple is an important part, located at the highest point of the entire village, and the viewing platform is also here.
Nuogang Buddhist Temple is located on a high platform on the north side of the village, including the temple gate, Buddhist hall, Jieting Pavilion, monk's room, pagoda, etc. The viewing platform is located in front of the pagoda, where you can take a group of photos of the same style as the movie. Stacked Dai folk houses.
Walking in the ancient village, you can also see some old women walking by with baskets on their backs. The generations here still make a living by growing tea, which is also an important part of Jingmai ancient tea garden.
There is no trace of commercialization, as if the explosion of the movie was just an accident, and even we couldn't find any introduction about the location of the movie in the village. Nuogang Dai Water Village is like a paradise isolated from the world. It is simple, peaceful and full of Dai style. When you come here, you will not even slow down your pace. In such an environment, it is not surprising that the villagers live a long and healthy life, so it is also known as the "Longevity Village".
※The Millennium Brown Ancient Village is hidden in Jingmai Mountain, live in it and experience life
Hidden in the secrets of Jingmai Mountain, Wengji Ancient Village, located at the junction of Myanmar and Puer City, Xishuangbanna, is a village with a long history. The culture of the Blang people has been well preserved and inherited here.
It takes about 2 hours to drive from Jingmai. When I first saw it, I sighed: it's so beautiful! The quaint roads, traditional stilted houses, tall trees, and villagers in traditional costumes seem to stand still here for thousands of years, and the turmoil of the outside world does not interfere with it.
The traditional stilted dwellings of the Blang nationality have gable roofs and exposed wooden frames. The first floor is the dry fence layer, which is mainly used for sundries storage. The second floor is the daily living space, with a firepit, bedroom, palm platform, etc. In the past, the Blang people usually set up tea-making workshops on the dry fence floor, or built a separate side building, built a stove and set up an iron pot outside the eaves pillars, which is the place where tea is fried by hand. The Blang nationality is recognized by academic circles as one of the earliest tea-growing ethnic groups in Yunnan. Today, every household can still see the same trident-shaped tea leaves at the corners of the eaves of the wooden houses in the ancient village of Wengji. important place in life.
Wengji Buddhist Temple is one of the most important parts of the entire village. According to data, it was first built in 377 years of the Dai calendar (AD 1015). .
There are five trees and six flowers of Southern Buddhism growing in the temple, among which five trees refer to bodhi tree, tall banyan tree, palm leaf palm, betel nut and sugar rice dumpling, and six flowers refer to lotus, manjusri, turmeric flower, frangipani, Burmese osmanthus and Diyong golden lotus. . The entire Buddhist temple is covered by trees, with a feeling of being out of the world.
The Wengji Buddhist Temple has a viewing platform overlooking the entire Wengji Ancient Village, and it is also the best seat for viewing the sea of clouds.
With the development of tourism in the past two years, there are also many homestays to choose from in the village. These homestays still maintain the characteristics of the Blang nationality and are run by local villagers. If you have time, it is recommended to stay for one night to experience the local customs.
You can drink a bowl of roasted tea like the locals, or you can dance around the campfire, everything here can make you forget your troubles. The folk customs are simple and simple, and the custom of not closing the door at night is still preserved.
Wengji Ancient Village has been nourished for thousands of years in the virgin forest of Jingmai Mountain. It is surrounded by lush virgin forests and millennium ancient tea forests, and blends into the mountains and rivers. Tea is the most inseparable plot in Guzhai. Every year, the local area holds activities to worship the tea ancestors, which is also the most lively time of the year.
The folk customs here are simple and the scenery is beautiful, like a paradise on earth!
※Happy Lahu, happy Dabao, a nation born for music
Lancang County is the only Lahu Autonomous County in the country. The Lahu people living here account for one-half of the Lahu population in China. It is the birthplace of Lahu culture recognized by the Lahu people everywhere. Lao Dabao is located in Lancang County Menggen Village, Hani Township, Sakai. Pu'er not only has tea and coffee, but also music!
The Lahu nationality is a nation that "sings when they can talk, and dances when they can walk". Lao Dabao has brought their talents to the extreme. Today, Lao Dabao is also known as "Country Music Town". Here, music is the source of joy.
"Happy Lahu, happy Dabao", the most conspicuous building in the middle of the village is this performance stage. Whenever a guest comes, the villagers put on traditional costumes and express their welcome with music. As one of the protection and inheritance bases of the national intangible cultural heritage "Mupa Mipa", this Lahu Mountain Township has many intangible heritage inheritors. In recent years, they have not only continued their happiness through singing and dancing, but also got rid of poverty and become rich. Lost the hat of poverty.
The Lusheng Dance of the Lahu Nationality is one of the national intangible cultural heritages. The Lahu people worship gourds and regard them as a symbol of the birth of their ancestors. They put five bamboo tubes on the gourds to make a lusheng. They dance the lusheng dance every year during the Tasting New Festival and Spring Festival to express their respect for their ancestors and their hope for a happy life in the coming year. Almost everyone in Lao Dabao can dance the Lusheng dance. Look at the 5-year-old boy who dances to the music in a decent way, and the rhythm is quite accurate.
Music is common, and almost all the villagers here can play the guitar, a western musical instrument. According to statistics, there are 500 people in 120 households in Lao Dabao, and more than 200 of them can play the guitar.
During the slack time, the villagers carried guitars, sang and danced, and conveyed happiness to everyone through performances. The reputation of the music town is also growing, attracting many tourists.
Today's old Dabao, apart from music, still retains a simple rhythm of life. Their houses are still traditional bamboo buildings on piles. It's all going on here. This kind of bamboo building is mainly composed of three parts: "Rige" (the bedroom part of the house), "Zadig" (the place where the hammer is pounded) and "Zhanglu" (the balcony). It is divided into upper and lower floors. It is a place where livestock is kept and firewood is piled up.
The development of tourism has not brought commercial changes to Lao Dabao, and the ordinary little beauty is still what we gain the most here. I met an 83-year-old grandmother who was still killing chickens in the mountain spring, and an 80-year-old grandfather who smoked hookah. The wrinkles of the years climbed up on his face, but the smile revealed the taste of happiness. I think this is what we so-called "urban people" pursue. An incredible sense of fulfillment.
In the "Inheritance Pavilion" behind the performance venue, the non-heritage inheritance projects of Lao Dabao and the daily life scenes of the Lahu people are displayed in text, pictures and objects.
In 2016, after the village was lifted out of poverty, people's living standards continued to improve, but they still lived the days of sunrise and sunset. Both men, women and children in the old Dabao village can sing and dance well. They are good at Lusheng dance, swing dance, and unaccompanied harmony singing. 80% of the villagers in the village can play guitar. The first popular songs, such as "Happy Lahu" and "Really Reluctant", are deeply loved by tourists. When there are major festivals or tourists come, they will change into traditional costumes and bring musical instruments to welcome them.
The music is sounding, it is a sea of joy!
[The ancient tea-horse road, the thousand-year-old caravan inheritance culture in Pu'er]
When it comes to the history of Yunnan, caravan culture is an indispensable part. It is a kind of historical existence in Chinese history that lasts for thousands of years. In the southwest region, especially Yunnan, it is not only a special mode of transportation, but also a historical In the long river of history, it has become a kind of spirit and culture. The Puer tea in Simao area of Yunnan is also because of the existence of caravans, so it has been continuously transported and sold all over the country. The Puer tea we drink now carries the tea culture of thousands of years, with the spirit of caravans, which makes people appreciate the fragrance of the years. Come to Pu'er, take a trip back to the ancient tea-horse road, and feel the thousand-year-old caravan culture is also an indispensable part.
※The starting point of tribute tea entering Beijing is the most well-preserved, longest-mileage and most profound culture so far
The Ancient Tea-Horse Road is an ancient commercial road with the main content of the tea-horse trade. It has gone through the Han, Jin, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties. It is one of the most famous ancient international trade routes in western China. The Ancient Tea-Horse Road in Pu’er was the starting point for tribute tea to Beijing, and it is also the section with the most complete preservation, the longest mileage, the richest culture, and the best ecology along the road. Now it is open to the public as a scenic spot, free of charge. Tickets, you can choose items according to your own physical condition during the tour, which is more flexible.
The entire scenic area covers a large area and is divided into multiple areas such as the water reflecting tea horse area, the cable car sightseeing area, the ancient tree asking tea area, and the ancient road traceability area. Our tour starts from the visitor center, where there is a small museum, and the discovery of tea fossils also proves that the Pu'er region has a long history of tea production.
Walking through Yinma Lake, we came to the first scenic spot - the tea horse reflected in the water. This giant straw sandal also reflected the hardships of the ancient tea horse road at that time. The two group sculptures of "Jieyi Forest" and "Farewell to the Caravan" are a true portrayal of the life of the caravan at that time.
The cable car sightseeing area is divided into two sections of cableways. The first section of the cableway is 1403 meters long and takes about 25 minutes. The cableway leans against the undulating mountains. Xiafang is an endless stretch of ten thousand mu tea forest. In Pu'er, tea is the most important element.
The first cableway reaches the picturesque Dingbo Lake. By the lake, you can see the intangible cultural heritage of Yunnan Province-the osprey catching fish performance. This is an ancient traditional fishing method that has been popular in our country for thousands of years. There are two boats in the performance. The fisherman on one boat sings folk songs while playing the guitar, while the protagonist on the other boat is the fisherman and his osprey. . The scientific name of the osprey is cormorants. Here you can see the tacit cooperation between humans and eagles fighting together. I saw the vigorous osprey dive into the water and harvest a lot in a short time. The fisherman took out a big fish from its mouth, attracting onlookers The audience burst into exclamation!
You can also ride a pony by the lake and feed the sika deer, very docile!
Step on the first water pontoon bridge in Pu'er, and come to the starting point of the second section of the cableway. The total length of this section of the cableway is 786m, and the ride takes about 15 minutes to reach the top of the mountain.
The biggest attraction on the top of the mountain is the Zhongyi Station Museum, also known as the "Caravan Museum". It is the most distinctive and valuable caravan museum in southwestern Yunnan. It presents the most representative caravan culture on the Yunnan-Tibet Ancient Tea-Horse Road to the world from a multi-level and multi-dimensional perspective, becoming another cultural card of Pu’er. There are more than 600 collections in the museum, most of which are caravan utensils, sacrifices and daily necessities of various ethnic groups in the past. They are the essence of the collection of Shang Mingpeng, a famous Pu'er caravan culture scholar and famous print artist, for more than 20 years.
There are 5 unit scenic spots in the museum, including Asking Road House, Eight Immortals Drunk, Dalanzangpu, and Maguotou Room, which vividly show the survival and development of caravans in harsh environments by combining physical objects and models. It has played an indelible role in the development of Pu'er.
In front of the post station, you can also have "zero distance" with Dawan Pearl, the nobleman of the horses, and ride the Turkmenistan national treasure sweat-blooded BMW that came all the way, as if you became a member of the caravan back then, quite ambitious .
Go on, take you back to the source of history, travel through the time tunnel of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and experience the long-standing tea-horse culture.
Crossing the suspension bridge, you can worship and pray for your family at the Earth Altar, and you can also hang a red cloth strip under the sacred tree to make a wish.
Slowly descending along the ancient tea-horse road, you can still see the traces of caravans in the ancient road tracing area. On the rugged mountain road, you can still hear the clatter of horseshoes and the jingle of horse bells.
Through the lively tea-horse trade market, come to the forest slide, take the exciting forest slide, you can reach the Valley of the King of Tea. There are two people on the slide, and there are handles to control the speed of the car. They can pass through the ancient forest amidst the screams, which saves time and effort.
Finally, you can take a battery car or ride a horse to enjoy the beauty of the wetland, and return to the visitor center to end the tea-horse culture tour.
The starting point of tribute tea entering Beijing is in Pu'er. This ancient tea-horse road takes you into the caravan culture and travels through thousands of years!
※Nakeli, an important post on the Tea Horse Road
A "Caravan Love Song" sang the hardships and nostalgia of the horse drivers, and its birthplace is the ancient town of Nakeli in Pu'er. Nakeli is an important post station on the world-famous Ancient Tea Horse Road. It is located in the south of Ning'er County, Pu'er City, 16 kilometers away from Ning'er County, and 25 kilometers away from Pu'er City. The transportation is very convenient.
Since the Tang Dynasty, the ancient Pu'er Prefecture (Ning'er) has become an important town where merchants gather and caravans gather because of the production and sales of Pu'er tea and ground black salt, and Nakeli is the most important post on this ancient tea-horse road. , the centuries-old Rongfa horse shop is still there, and it is also a witness of history.
The name of Na Ke Li is pronounced in Dai language, "Na" means field, "Ke" means bridge, and "Li" means good, meaning "a good field beside the bridge". Its original name was "Makuli", which is a heart-piercing place name and a desolate and tragic inn. Because the caravans in the past had to stay in the horse shop when they passed through Nakeli, and they had to cross a small river when they set off from the horse shop. However, when the horses saw this small river, they would shed tears whether they missed their hometown or were too tired. Therefore, people call this place "Makuli". Later, people really felt sorry for these horses, so they built a wind and rain bridge on the small river, so that the horses could pass through the small river smoothly without crying. From then on, "Makuli" was renamed "Nakeli", which has been used to this day. Although the transportation is convenient now and the ancient caravan road is no longer in use, the town still retains the quaint scenery, with green mountains and green waters and a beautiful environment. The ruins of the post station and the saddles, horse bells, lanterns, stone jars, stone troughs, cooking utensils, guillotines and other old objects used by caravans can still be seen, and it has become a good place for tourism.
Walking a section of the ancient tea-horse road, you can still see the deep imprints of horseshoes. For thousands of years, countless horses have carried goods to the north and south, which also deduces a period of caravan love.
Today's Nakeli already has a profound tea-horse road cultural heritage and modern fashion elements. In recent years, relying on the historical and cultural advantages of the ancient tea-horse road, Nakeli has restored the characteristic cultural landscape of the ancient road station, and has become a well-known rural cultural tourism town in the country. Here you can also see Pu'er's unique print memory - out-of-print color woodcut, which is a letterpress technique developed on the basis of traditional color woodcut, and is defined as compared to the traditional multi-version color woodcut that can retain the characteristics of printing plates , After the last edition is engraved, it cannot be left for reprinting, so there is a saying of "out of print".
There is also an unattended library in the small town, where you can take a rest, read books, and feel the peace and beauty.
Walking along the stone path, houses with ethnic characteristics come into view. There are ethnic minorities such as Yi and Hani living here, and the ethnic customs are strong. Now they have opened farmhouses, restaurants and other places to welcome friends from all over the world. It is rare that in these shops or restaurants, you feel more of a hospitality than a commercial atmosphere. Even if you're not shopping, it's very welcome to come in and visit the owner.
Walk into "Gao Laozhuang" and experience the production skills of Pu'er tea cakes. It turns out that in addition to "picking tea", there is also "stepping on tea".
Walking into the hundred-year-old Rongfa horse shop, drinking a bowl of hot ancient roasted tea, listening to the old people talk about the past in the village, it is so leisurely and comfortable that people are reluctant to leave. This Rongfa Inn was built in 1831. At that time, it was well-known in the caravan circle and the local area. Caravans from south to north would come here to rest. Today, some of the items and furnishings of the horse shop in those days are still preserved in the store.
Wiping away the dust of the years, Nakeli is no longer the bustling commercial channel of the past, but has become a good place for many tourists to explore historical footprints and experience tea-horse culture. Every weekend and holiday, many tourists come here especially to explore the traces of the ancient tea-horse road.
[Living in the Red Panda Manor, close contact with wild animals and plants]
When traveling with children, the greatest pleasure is to be in close contact with small animals. The harmonious coexistence between man and nature often appears particularly loving in their interaction. There are not many parent-child hotels in China where you can have close contact with animals. The Red Panda Manor Hotel in Pu'er, Yunnan is one of them. Here you can feel the comfort and comfort of "living in the forest".
Red Panda Manor is located 37 kilometers southeast of Simao City, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province, close to the Rhinoceros Ping Scenic Area of Pu'er Sun River National Park, with a forest coverage rate of 94.5% and a very high content of negative oxygen ions in the air. It is a veritable natural oxygen bar. As soon as you enter here, you can feel extra relaxed.
Experience the relaxation of living in the forest, get in touch with cute and interesting animals, explore nature under the guidance of a forest experience teacher, and learn to make out-of-print woodcuts. Everything here makes people who have lived in the city feel novel, adults and children. linger.
The forest journey starts from the front desk of the manor. The cute cultural and creative surroundings are hard to put down. Since it is called "Little Panda Manor", the red panda is of course the biggest IP. It coincides with the New Year, and it has been replaced with a festive one. new clothes.
※Live in the forest
The manor moved the resort hotel into the forest according to the mountain and along the veins. Carefully select high-quality wood to build houses, carefully select old ship wood materials to build homes, so that every object and every scene is unique, wild and unique. The wooden houses are dotted in the mountains and valleys, and the plank road winds through the dense forests and flowers. The single-family wooden house villa is especially recommended, with a super large space and large transparent French windows on all sides. You can also see the shadows of the trees outside and small animals walking through it.
An electric blanket is thoughtfully laid out, so you won't be afraid of the cold just in case of a big drop in temperature. It has a large bathtub, a double washing pool, and snacks every night. The original environment is combined with modern facilities. It not only has the fun of the forest but also enjoys the services and supporting facilities of a high-end hotel.
It is very convenient to pick up and drop off by a battery car as long as you make a phone call. There are many options to experience when you stay in the manor, which is very interesting.
※Deer Forest Adventure
At 9:30 every morning, under the leadership of the forest experience teacher, go to Luming Mountain, which is the forest where red deer live. You can see more than a dozen red deer in the woods by the roadside. Adult red deer are more courageous. They will walk on the road, and most of the young red deer hide in the woods.
The main food for red deer is carrot sticks, which can be fed under the leadership of a forest experience teacher.
※Tour the only scenic spot in China where you can interact with animals in the wild
Staying at Red Panda Manor Hotel generally includes tickets to Pu'er Sun River National Forest Park, where there are dense forests, interlaced rivers, cool climate, fresh air, and a wide variety of flora and fauna. The entire scenic area is relatively large, and it is recommended to arrange a small half-day after the tour. You can travel through the jungle with the forest experience teacher, get to know the flowers and trees that you may have never seen before, you can compete with gibbons, touch the "prehistoric giant" rhino, and you can see cute little pandas, etc. .
The main scenic spots include "rhinoceros hermitage, rhinoceros paradise, fish shadow tracing the stream, spinulosa trail, ape peninsula, traveling red panda, and bird park", etc. It integrates forest tourism, leisure and vacation, and hotel entertainment. good place to go. In fact, not only children are very excited to come here, adults also have a great time playing, a good place to increase knowledge.
The forest experiencer is like an "encyclopedia" of nature, and he knows all kinds of creatures in the scenic area. Under his leadership, we started a wonderful forest journey. When touching animals, you must follow the instructions of the animal observers. For example, you cannot stand in front of the rhino, and you cannot step on the haystacks on its territory. Otherwise, the rhino may mistake you for food!
The most active area is the macaque area, where groups and groups shuttle and jump in the forest. They are not afraid of life at all, and the little monkeys will even run to you to "turn your bag", which is so cute.
This is the first time I have seen a barking deer running and jumping in the forest. Its scientific name is actually barking deer. When it is frightened, it can make a very loud barking sound similar to that of a dog, so it is also called "barking deer".
There are many kinds of birds living in this area rich in water and grass, such as egrets, taupes, etc., but different species can coexist harmoniously. Here is known as the treasure house of biodiversity. According to the data, there are 812 species of wild animals and 1923 species of plants. The wild animals under national key protection include bison, slow loris, gray langur, golden cat, clouded leopard, otter, sambar, Monitor lizards, giant civets, green peacocks, suman antelopes, black bears, golden pheasants and more. It is also the only "Java Bison Habitat" in China and has the title of "Hometown of Bison". Of course, whether you can meet them by chance depends on fate!
The most star animal is the red panda, known as the "Traveler". Every creature here has its own name, and just like humans, it has different temperaments. "Beethoven" with special ears, photo star "Dudu" and so on, are all very spiritual.
Known as "the largest oasis on the Tropic of Cancer", it is the only scenic spot in China where you can interact with many animals in the wild, and adults and children alike enjoy it.
※Learn to draw out-of-print woodcuts
The out-of-print woodcut is one of Pu'er's cultural business cards, and people call it "Pu'er's best". The unique woodcut technique allows you to experience the legend of the times created in the "World Tea Source". In the Red Panda Manor, you can roughly learn its principles under the guidance of the teacher.
Of course, for beginners, it is almost impossible to engrave on a wooden board. The experience is on a rubber board. Each experiencer is equipped with a set of knives. There are four kinds of knives. The teacher will first introduce the usage of each knives. The first step is to sketch the pattern you want to engrave on the rubber plate. It is recommended not to be too complicated. The principle of coloring experience is to give priority to simplicity. Generally, it is appropriate to choose 1-2 colors. After more than an hour of drawing, my first "out-of-print woodcut" work - a cute little duck was completed.

It is a multi-functional tourism complex with the background of highlighting tea horse culture and integrating leisure, business and tourism purposes. More than 1,000 years ago, caravans set off from Pu’er with tea, arrived in Myanmar, Nepal, India and other countries, and brought the specialties of these places back to China. The non-governmental international trade channel was opened. This road was called "the ancient tea-horse road" by later generations. . And this newly built tourist town is just in front of the original site of the ancient tea-horse road, bringing tourists into the thousand-year-old caravan culture. Christmas is coming, and Santa Claus rides on the horse in front of the ancient city, which is also very appropriate~
On Christmas Eve, it was snowing in the town. The artificial snow created a romantic atmosphere, and there was a performance by Santa Claus, which attracted a large number of citizens and tourists to watch. Many people joined in and jumped up together.
