It's a rare long vacation, it's time to start!
The cosmic problem of having money but no time and having time but no money has always troubled people who want to go. Indeed, these two statements have been verified by many people. Now, we have to face this problem again. How to arrange the National Day holiday and where to go? How is it reasonable. So I started to work on this problem one and a half months in advance, repeatedly checking air tickets and train tickets every day, knowing that the National Day would not be cheap, but I still had a glimmer of hope. Where are the cheap air tickets and bus tickets, and where to go, there is no fixed place, I just want to go out for a walk, leave this familiar and unfamiliar city, and finally have an idea, I found that Dehong in the southwest of Yunnan is more suitable for this trip, so The itinerary is tentatively scheduled, and tickets will be grabbed when I see it on time.
Because if you fly directly from Guangzhou to Dehong Mangshi, the air tickets are very expensive at full price, and there are few flights. If you change another way, first high-speed train to Kunming, and then fly from Kunming to Mangshi, although it will take a long time , but half the fare. After various considerations, plans A and B were decided. If you can get a high-speed rail ticket, you can transfer. After the plan is finalized, just wait for the opening time to grab tickets. Think about whether you should make an appointment with a small partner and share a room together to take care of it? In the past, I usually traveled alone. Should I change my mood and travel this time? Law. So I found a donkey friend I met in Tibet a few years ago. I was worried that I already had a departure plan for the National Day. Fortunately, he had no plan. After asking, he agreed without saying a word.
High-speed rail tickets can only be opened 30 days in advance. I signed up as a member in the ticket-grabbing software with full confidence, set the frequency and time, but on the day of the ticket-grabbing, I still didn’t grab it. The so-called intelligence of the software made me miss it. I found the best time to grab tickets. After this experience, I found that the software for ticket grabbing was not enough, so I had to go to grab tickets myself. After discussion, I postponed the plan for another day, and set off on the second day of the National Day. The itinerary was one day less. The ticket grabbing went very smoothly this time, which also confused me. It was not at all like the rhythm of ticket grabbing during the Golden Week or the Spring Festival travel season. Well, since this isn't a popular spot, Yinqing doesn't have to worry about the crowds, and can play with ease.
The most difficult ticket grabbing has been completed, and the next step is to arrange the transportation in the middle section, the round-trip ticket from Kunming to Mangshi, the ticket for this section is okay, it has been relatively stable, and the fluctuation is not large. Tickets are issued together with the air ticket. It may be the reason for booking in advance. The hotel has not been adjusted to the National Day price yet, and they are all relatively favorable prices. After weighing the itinerary attractions and hotels, I have also settled on the hotels for these few days. Everything is ready, just waiting for the arrival of the east wind! !
The roads we have traveled have become the turning points on the journey
The last time I went to Kunming was six years ago, and I never thought that there would be another day. It was also National Day at that time, and it has been six years in a blink of an eye. Obviously, great changes have taken place. This time, Kunming did not arrange an itinerary, just As a transfer location, the high-speed train arrived in the afternoon, and the plane arrived in Mangshi in the evening. There was a little free time in the middle, and I went to the city for a circle. There was no place to store the heavy backpack, so I just carried it on my back and rode on a shared ride. Cycling, interspersed in the streets and alleys of Kunming, sometimes you can abuse yourself to the lawlessness of what you think
Shared bicycles saved me during this journey, saving a lot of time and connecting the distances between various attractions. My little partner became the navigator of this journey and walked in front of me to open the way
Every city has undergone earth-shaking changes driven by the tide. The impression of the Golden Horse and Jade Rooster six years ago is not the same as it is now. It was on a corner of the square at that time, but now it is on the side of the main road, which is the same as the one in memory. It's a bit out of date, the surrounding area is undergoing subway construction, and there are only two archways left.
The subway has been opened to go to the airport. It is no longer like taking the airport bus to the airport before. You can also see the beautiful scenery along the way. When the high-speed rail arrived in Kunming, it had already passed the airport. I thought silently, if there was a stop at that time, everything would change It is more convenient, and no longer has to turn around public transportation to return to the ticket!
Although the airport has not changed much, it is still somewhat different from the one in my impression. I often want to find the road I walked before, but the road is not the same as before, and I can never find it again. I re-familiarized with the environment of the airport, because I arrived at the airport in the early morning on the return journey, and I was going to spend the night here, so I knew the environment clearly and it was convenient for the return trip to stay overnight at the airport.
I took a small airline, the boarding gate was arranged at the back, and the long aisle went all the way to the bottom. I thought I would have to take a car to board the plane, but luckily I didn’t have to. I came in early and waited for the flight, and I kept hearing the broadcast delay information. It is normal here to rain during the day and at night. I accidentally saw a heavy rain outside, so I thought not to delay.
The cabin has been contracted by a purpose-built advertiser. With the colorful dome lights, the plane looks a bit dreamy this time. It is also the first time I have encountered such a plane. It took off and landed on time. Everything went smoothly. I took a taxi outside the airport to Hotel, 30 yuan, the price is a bit expensive, but there is no other choice. It takes less than a few minutes to arrive at the hotel. After washing up, I go to sleep and prepare for tomorrow's itinerary.
Dai Special--Menghuan Shwedagon Pagoda
Mangshi is known as the "City of Dawn". The weather here is like a girl's heart. Sometimes it is sunny and sometimes it is cloudy and rainy. Don't try to figure out her heart. She will use her gentleness to give you a heavy rain and then another exposure ~~~! After I came out of the hotel, I found a small shop to have breakfast, where I removed noodles and returned noodles. Although I was mentally prepared for this, when it really happened, I was still a little bit resistant, but after taking a bite, it would be true. I fell in love with this taste, and the noodles are simple, but there are various ingredients, which can be matched at will to create a different fresh taste! As soon as I took a bite of noodles, it started to rain. I watched the time go by, waiting for the rain to stop and the clouds to disperse, but it was getting bigger and bigger. I wondered whether today’s trip would be delayed because of this rain. In a word, the sun in the east and the rain in the west, the weather here is changeable, but it will always be sunny. After waiting for about half an hour, the rain was obviously less, and we couldn't wait any longer, and set off for the Shwedagon Pagoda.
In Mangshi, the streets and alleys are full of shared bicycles, which is very convenient. Our hotel is in Sankeshu, not far from the bus transportation, and not far from various scenic spots. It takes about ten minutes to ride a bicycle. We can get up It’s too early because of the holiday. There are very few people on the main road, and the shops are not open. I’m not used to this kind of tourist city.
Due to the weather and climate, there are many tree species that have never been seen here. There are also succulent plants growing on the trees. This is the first time I have seen them.
On the way to the Shwedagon Pagoda, you will pass through historical sites, simply stay and go up, and the long stairs welcome the tourists. If you are driving by yourself, you will take another mountain road, and pedestrians generally take this mountain climbing road.
When we came to the top of the mountain, the rain was still falling, but it was falling gently. We could do it with or without an umbrella. It should be that we came early, there were few tourists, and the weather was not good. We simply took a few photos and posted them on the online platform. Buy tickets and enter to visit the Shwedagon Pagoda.
Because it is adjacent to many countries, the Dai people are one of the main ethnic groups here, so the various architectural styles are similar to those in Thailand. There are also such buildings in Thailand, but in China, this is one of the few, exotic and can be seen everywhere.
Looking at it, I always feel that I am wandering in the country of Thailand. Everything is so similar. Tickets bought on the Internet are issued in the form of QR codes. You can directly scan the code to enter the park without physical tickets. Nostalgia seems a bit pity.
Every place that can be modified is inscribed with the soul of the image, which inevitably makes people take pictures non-stop. At this moment, the flow of people has begun to increase, and there is a lot of people coming and going.
After entering the scenic spot, you will see a sign saying that if you go around the Shwedagon Pagoda clockwise, you will be successful, so all the tourists go to the countryside and go around it. The entire Shwedagon Pagoda is actually not big, but it is also the largest in the area. one of the urn towers
There are four doors in the Golden Pagoda, which are four positions in the southeast, northwest, and only three doors are opened. Visitors can enter the Golden Pagoda to visit. The premise is to pay attention to etiquette, take off your shoes and avoid being too naked.
Inside the golden pagoda are enshrined figures of various Buddhist figures, and there are also displays of items used by previous emperors, which fully shows a kind of Dai culture here in ancient times. It is said that the culture of Thailand is also spread from here, and everything here is painted with gold. The lacquer is full of resplendent and resplendent appearance, which shows that the people here have a high status in ancient times and are admired by thousands of people.
The peacock is a fetish here, and there is also a special statue as a monument. Before we came here, we also thought that peacocks were very common animals here, but from the beginning to the end, we didn't see any of them. All we could see were nothing. The ubiquitous peacock decoration, regardless of street lights, floors, signs, etc., but there is no real animal peacock to see!
The four gates of the Golden Pagoda are guarded by different beasts. The workmanship is exquisite. After years of grinding, many places are damaged. The acidic rainwater corrodes, and the golden color gradually fades, returning to its original appearance.
Walking slowly, walking against the rain, turning around three times, staying here for more than an hour, the size can be seen at a glance, walking for more than an hour, in addition to seeing the Shwedagon Pagoda, you can also overlook the Mangshi, unfortunately What's more, it's surrounded by clouds of smoke, and the line of sight can't be seen far away!
The Menghuan Great Silver Pagoda, which shines brighter than the Shwedagon Pagoda
The Shwedagon Pagoda and the Shwedagon Pagoda are two adjacent scenic spots, connected by a small road lined with shops. Tickets are collected independently. The Golden Pagoda has a longer history, and the Silver Pagoda was completed in recent years, so it seems that the Silver Pagoda is more shiny than the Golden Pagoda, and the area of the Silver Pagoda is also larger than that of the Golden Pagoda. The old rules, online booking, no physical ticket nostalgia.
The architectural style of the Silver Pagoda is more abstract than that of the Golden Pagoda, which leaves more room for imagination for visitors. The Golden Pagoda is a real image, while the Silver Pagoda is abstract. Many simple lines form an imaginary space. What the two want to express is One thing, just expressed in a different way
Although the beasts of the Silver Pagoda are not as exquisite as the Golden Pagoda, but to a certain extent, the layout of the Silver Pagoda has surpassed the Golden Pagoda
The outline drawn by simple lines, people say what it looks like, is it the eyes of a peacock? There is a peacock's eyes around the wonderful pagoda, which shows how noble the status of the peacock is here!
The Silver Pagoda is also located on a high roof, and you need to climb a staircase to go up. Obviously, there are not as many people visiting the Silver Pagoda as the Golden Pagoda. It is a good place for taking pictures. !
Even for the same Buddha statue, in the case of different tones, you can see a different feeling. The pure white Buddha statue is not as delicate as the golden one, but the silver one is particularly serene.
The Silver Pagoda is not open to visit inside, only the outside can be seen. Since it is within the warning range of the airport, aerial photography is not allowed, otherwise the picture here is quite shocking. Walking down another mountain road, there is Manghuang Village next to it. It was hard to find two shared bicycles, blowing the wind in the mountains, enjoying the "sunshine" when the clouds and mist dispersed, and riding comfortably on the country road.
The itinerary plan is to take a shuttle bus from Mangshi to Ruili in the afternoon. There is a special shuttle bus at the passenger station of Sankeshu. It usually leaves when it is full. Ten yuan, there is also a commercial car for six people, the fare is fifty, and you can choose any class at will. The drive takes about one and a half hours.
The shuttle bus runs on high speed and will not stop halfway to pick up passengers. The seat is first come, first served, and you can only sit in the last row. The crowded car persisted for an hour and a half, and fell asleep unconsciously.
Ruili--Famous is worse than meeting
The name Ruili has always been a noble word in my dictionary. In addition to the largest port city in southwest Yunnan, it also has the same name as a well-known magazine. From the pictures I saw on the Internet, those exotic buildings are particularly conspicuous, so you don’t need to go abroad. I can see it, I have been yearning for a long time, and today I finally have the opportunity to visit! The weather is very good, and the clear sky makes me feel free. Sometimes it rains and sometimes it is sunny, or it can happen. In short, it is sunny and rainy here, and I can’t wait for love.
The first thing to do when you arrive at the bus station is to inquire about the bus time and fare from Ruili to Tengchong, so that you can make good arrangements on the last day of Ruili. Ruili’s shared bicycles undertake the three-kilometer road from the passenger station to the hotel. On the tree-lined sidewalk, I forgot the weight of the heavy backpack. Perhaps after a few days of adaptation, I felt that the backpack was useless.
I checked into the hotel smoothly. The lady at the front desk also teased me that I booked early and the price was cheap. Now the price has tripled, and I still booked the usual room rate. The drinking water in the hotel room is full of features, praise in capital letters!
Jiegao port under the rainbow
After finishing my luggage at the hotel, I can’t wait to go to the Jiegao Port. Should I use public transportation or ride a bicycle? I didn’t know how long I had to wait for the bus, so I controlled the time by myself when riding a bicycle. After a few kilometers, I chose to continue cycling. On the way, I saw a double rainbow. I was so excited that I raised my camera to take pictures. The locals were surprised when they saw it Vision, ha, Southerners have never seen snow, and there are very few rainbows. The last time I saw a rainbow in my impression was in Tibet a few years ago. Although there are occasional rainbows in big cities, I have never experienced them personally. A few times, all of them were seen in the circle of friends. Near the evening, the weather is pleasant, neither hot nor cold, with natural wind blowing, galloping on the road, riding at your own pace, and there are no messy cars competing with you. Followed the navigation to the bridge at Jiegao Port. In the past, shared bicycles could not pass because it was beyond the range, but it is still possible, and there are notices posted on the side of the bridge. So I rode on it without thinking, and after crossing the bridge, it looked more prosperous and orderly city management
It can be said that every landscape has the shape of a peacock, billboards, street lights, stop signs, roofs, etc., and many Burmese people are active in this area, and the characteristic national costumes and dresses make it easy to see at a glance. Burmese people, generally they are engaged in the service industry or small traders, go to the port to rush home after work hours.
I rode all the way to the port, and saw the national flag hanging high behind the border from a distance. It coincided with the National Day, and I was very excited at that moment. I rode my bicycle to the most southwestern port, and quickly checked in from my mobile phone. , To record this sacred moment, there are also many tourist groups, crowded the surrounding open space
The port is surrounded by duty-free shopping malls. Walking in the alleys, you can experience the daily life of the Burmese people and the border compatriots. There is a wall or a net separated by Myanmar. In the small road on the left side of the port, there are a few children climbing on the wall and waiting for the Chinese. "Tips", and on the right side of the port are small shops separated by a network, selling some daily necessities and cigarettes, these duty-free products are no longer attractive today.
The Burmese people who were active at Jiegao Port did not visit the duty-free shopping mall at that time, because there was nothing attractive, and everyone knew the price. Instead, they became interested in the customs and customs here, walking quietly in the streets and alleys, watching those figures. They are used to the cameras of tourists. When they find that you take pictures of him, they will politely ask you for money, and if you refuse, they will respond politely. It's not at all like the forced buying and selling in some places in China to force people away.
I have no plan to go to Myanmar, but when I come to the border, I want to go to Myanmar to take a look. Unless I have a passport tourist visa, I can only go through the temporary clearance procedures of the tour group. The premise must be If you want to join a group, go to the certificate processing center to hand in the materials in advance to apply for a pass. My friends and I held hope and went to the certificate processing center to inquire. I have confirmed that I can only go to Myanmar with a group, and I don’t want to disrupt the original plan, so I gave up
After 6 o'clock in the evening, I saw a long queue at the port, all of them were returning home, and the procedure was very simple, just scan the bill and travel through, in fact, the procedure is the same as that of a high-speed toll booth. If it weren't for the Chinese characters all around, it would definitely feel like being in a foreign country at that moment.
Jiegao Port is not only a port, but also a residential community. The local neighborhood committee organizes a wealth of cultural and entertainment activities. If you don’t see this side, you really don’t know that this is also a livable place.
Riding a shared bicycle back to the city of Ruili, I went to the certificate center to take a look, and after I figured out the procedures, I left to look for food. Occasionally, Jewelry Street was closed, so I gave up decisively.
One village, two styles, one village and two countries
It was another rainy morning, and I searched for a car to go to Yizhai and the two countries. There was no suitable car, but yesterday I passed a certain stop sign and saw a bus going there. The shared bicycle was beyond Luowei. Alright. Discuss with my friends to ride to a certain station halfway, and then wait for the bus. I saw a bus going to Yizhai and two countries on the stop sign, so I waited there obediently. The taxi I followed was always soliciting customers, and we didn’t answer , just quietly waiting for the No. 1 car to appear. Fortunately, it didn’t take long for the car to arrive. The terminal station of this car is another place on the border between China and Myanmar, called Nongdao. If the two countries finish playing in advance, Just go to Nongdao to have a look. After all, the plan is not as fast as the change during the journey. Wherever you go, it depends on your original intention. If you look at the scenery beyond the plan, you will have unexpected gains.
The gates of Yizhai and the two countries are characteristic buildings built with blue bricks. It feels like going to Myanmar in an instant. The small village is full of original facilities and landscapes. There are also many small shops selling jewelry and local specialties.
This thing has attracted our attention. The ant nest has also become a decoration. After being painted with various paints, it becomes a work of art. There are also large and small ant nests in this store.
The inseparable part of the scenic area must be the decoration of peacocks. No matter you look up at the ground, you can see one of the image objects of peacocks. It is only separated by a small ditch. Myanmar looks a lot barren, like a few people in the mountains. Farming, no modern items, crops are placed anywhere
The well-known swing swings in the two countries. On the spot, it is very strenuous and impossible to swing in Myanmar. It is just a gimmick. The people queuing up to play this are as dense as an ant nest. I don’t want to compete with the aunts for this
There is also a Golden Pagoda in the village, which is much smaller than the Shwedagon Pagoda seen in Mangshi. At the same time, enter the tour and go up to the second floor of the Golden Pagoda to see the traces of history at a closer distance
The mailboxes of the two countries have China on one side and Myanmar on the other. In the small house not far from the mailbox, postcards can be mailed, but the style is single and simple, and the quantity is not large
The unique Golden Pagoda inherits the usual painting style, and the mythical beasts are consistent with all kinds of decorations, but there is no resplendent texture
A new red brick tower was newly built behind the Golden Tower. The unique setting of the brick tower is in sharp contrast with the Golden Tower. The two different feelings also represent the cultures of two different countries.
It is obvious that the red brick tower has been carefully designed, surrounded by lakes, and a flower field in the distance. Against this background, the single and boring old village looks brand new, attracting more tourists.
The red brick pagoda is open for visits without additional tickets. The area can be relatively small, and at the same time not too many people can enter. You need to take off your shoes when entering to show respect for this. You can go up the stairs to the top floor and overlook Myanmar and China. The pastoral scenery at the junction.
I was in a hurry again, and the bus to Tengchong was about to leave. Since the latest bus departed at 3:50 p.m., Ruili did not arrange any scenic spots in the end, so as not to miss the bus at this embarrassing time.
Volcanic and Geothermal National Geopark--Hot Air Balloon Concentration
Fortunately, there are buses to all the scenic spots on this trip, but the waiting time is a bit longer, but it is important, there is time to wait, but there is no time to wait for the weather to clear up, and the rainy day in the morning seriously disturbed the progress of the itinerary. The driver of the car drove very slowly, and spent a lot of time on the road. Generally, the tourist lines connecting scenic spots get on the bus at the tourist passenger station, and there are stops along the way. After driving for half an hour and driving for nearly an hour, it was more than nine o'clock when we arrived at the Volcanic Geothermal National Geopark, and we could see hot air balloons taking off from a distance
Pass through the long shop trails and come to the visitor center. The old rules scan the QR code to enter the park. There is no physical ticket. After entering, the caravans gathered at the door swarmed up, all of them are soliciting customers to ride up the mountain to the crater
Our goal is very clear, go straight to the hot air balloon area, slowly develop from one hot air balloon to five hot air balloons, a long line of people waiting in line, motionless, the hot air balloons above the head rise again and again Empty, endless waiting, because there are too many people on this day, and we have to allocate numbers to buy tickets according to the weather conditions. We are stuck in the link of buying tickets. Seeing that there are still ten people who will arrive at us, it is impossible to give up. We had to continue to wait. Tickets for some tour groups were temporarily released, and individual tourists can be replaced later. Unfortunately, we didn’t have a good chance to take advantage of it, so we had to wait.
During the period, I posted a circle of friends, queuing for two hours and taking off for two minutes. It is true. I waited in line until 11:00 to reopen the ticket sales. Two hundred and eighty people said that it is expensive. It is really a bit expensive. Whether it is worth it depends on the individual. Compared with In other places, the price is still acceptable.
Holding the ticket and waiting for the number to be called, it will be our turn soon. Of course, I feel a little nervous. After all, it is the first time. I don’t feel much on the ground. I don’t know what to look down from above.
Entering a hot air balloon has to go through a climb. I have long feet and I think it is not difficult. If you are not tall, it may take some time. A balloon usually seats six people, including a pilot, and the balloon rises slowly. , the hot air above the head and the ear-piercing jet sound. None of this affected me, and it took time to pat.
Discuss with your friends, take pictures from different angles, and share resources after you come down. The space on the balloon is small, and you have to be careful when raising your hands, for fear of bumping into other hands or dropping your phone or camera. It is very laborious to move the position at the highest point. The backpack and the like are placed under the balloon, and the objects are kicked when moving, which is not easy to walk. It started to descend slowly within two minutes, and I didn't feel it when I fell. I only realized the decline when I looked at the far away one that was higher than myself. The whole process took about eight minutes, and that's how my first liftoff ended
After descending from the hot air balloon and then climbing the Dakong Mountain, hundreds of stairs are not a problem, and there are sections. After each section, you can also look at or take pictures on the flat viewing platform. It is easy to forget the fatigue of climbing the stairs. , and my heart was opened by the clear sky
At the crater on the top of the mountain, the grass is overgrown, and there is no crater to be seen. I walked around for a while, and there are some trails along the road that can go down, but I didn’t go to the end, only halfway, because it rained, and the dirt road was also gone. Trampled to pieces by horses.
Fortunately, aerial photography can be released here, but pay attention to the height and horses, so as not to frighten the horses and balloons and cause unnecessary accidents. God's vision is indeed different. The Dakong Mountain looks so small, and the Montenegro in the distance. You can see many unopened volcanoes.
Is it yellow? Tengchong Gudong Ginkgo Village
It is only about ten kilometers from Volcano Park to Ginkgo Village, but there is no direct bus. After inquiring, you can take the passing bus to the intersection of Ginkgo Village, and then walk in. The other is to take a taxi. There are taxi drivers outside the Volcano Park soliciting customers, usually to Heishui River, wetlands and other places. Ginkgo Village is not very popular now, and no one will carpool with us. Negotiate with the driver about the price of 30 yuan and set off. It takes half an hour to go back and forth. The driver is always selling tickets and farmhouses in the car. Letting the locals bring them in can save a lot of money. We ignored it and went directly to the gate to exchange online. Tickets, but what is exchanged is not a physical ticket, but a receipt, a voucher for ticket inspection and release. There are still a few kilometers away from the gate to the real Ginkgo Village. You can take the eco-car in the scenic spot or walk. Of course, we still choose to walk.
After passing the ticket check, we entered the village, and we could see many golden ginkgo trees from a distance. These seemed to be young and new species, and they turned yellow earlier, but it was only October, and there was still a long time before they turned yellow.
There are several observation decks here, watching the scenery of the canyon, and swinging has become a special project, with a fee of 30 yuan per person, one time to play, just like such an open environment, you can fly aerial photography
Although there are not many yellow trees, there are still some. The trees outside the ancient village are basically starting to turn yellow, and some of them are still yellow. It feels like a leaf knows autumn
All the yellow leaves have fallen, and the rest are green and shiny. There is not a single yellow leaf hanging on the tree, but there are yellow leaves everywhere, forming a kind of artistic conception, which also provides a special atmosphere for many homestays in the village. Put a few tables in the small courtyard and put food on it, it feels like a picnic
The strange thing is, with the same water and soil, the same climate, why some trees turn yellow early, and some trees are still very green. The ginkgo king in the village is also very green, without a single yellow leaf. No wonder people say that the ginkgo in Tengchong will not turn yellow until December
The yellow leaves on the roof are in stark contrast to the green leaves behind the background. Although I came early and did not see the yellow leaves, I also saw the beauty of the ginkgo in Tengchong, which is indeed different from other places before, especially Homestay layout, etc.
I went to the courtyard of Hunan Satellite TV, and it was occupied by several uncles and aunts, so I had no chance to take pictures of other people.
From the perspective of aerial photography, look at the beauty of another angle and another thing, the rice fields harvested in autumn have also become very yellow, and the irregular ones are more layered
On the return trip, I planned to carpool with others, but I didn’t make it. I decided to walk back to the gate and try to find a way. I met a young couple who came to travel in Dali and asked us if we wanted to carpool back to Tengchong. They drove by themselves. All we need to do is put together a car to make up for the gas bill. We agreed without saying a word. It's really lucky.
Just passing by, Tengchong Wenxing Building
Because on the way back, I saw an ancient city building and checked the map. It was not far from the passenger station, so it was still early after getting off the bus, so I walked over to have a look. I don't know where it is, I only know that there are jewelry sold inside, it looks like a commercial street, but after six o'clock, the doors are basically closed
There are several archways and towers inside, which seem to record the great achievements here in ancient times. I saw a statue at the gate of another building, singing the story of the caravan people doing business. After the investigation, the jewelry industry here It was also very prosperous. At that time, it was transported by caravan bodyguards and others to and from Myanmar and other places.
Just looking at the name of Tengyue Ancient Town, I thought it was an ancient town for tourism, but after entering it, I found out that it is a concentrated place for selling jewelry, and there are no historical sites to see, so I just went around and took a look.
Tengchong Rehai Scenic Area Surrounded by Smoke and Clouds
This is the penultimate day of my itinerary. It is also cloudy and rainy. I have to experience rain every morning. There is no day when I wake up to a sunny day, but we are still confidently waiting for the arrival of noon, because we will always see to the sun. At the bus stop outside the Tourist Passenger Station, take the Atami Special Line bus to Atami Scenic Area. The fare is three yuan, and the journey takes about half an hour. On the road before arriving at the scenic spot, I saw many people carrying a bunch of Eggs are being sold, and the subconscious tells them that these are raw eggs, eggs that are ready to be boiled in a hot pot. When you get off the car and enter the scenic spot, you also have to pass through a long section of small shops. The scenic spots in Yunnan seem to have applied this model. The Internet Continue to scan the QR code for the ticket. Before arriving at the ticket gate, you can go to the Geothermal Museum to see it. It is free to visit without tickets.
After entering the ticket gate, you will see the mist from the geothermal heat without walking a long way. The exposed geothermal heat will be enclosed to form a separate space, but you can feel the heat from the geothermal heat as you approach it slowly. After the baptism of various metals, colorful traces have appeared. Although it is not as spectacular as the American Yellowstone, people who come into contact with this situation for the first time still feel quite shocked.
After passing a stone bridge, there are stairs that keep going up. There will be a pool every few meters. The pools are named after various names. Seeing that the water is boiling, there are also some pools with spoons on the side. , for tourists to taste, and at the same time there is a security guard next to each pool, responsible for everyone's safety and prohibiting the cooking of eggs in these pools, it seems that the culture of cooking eggs has been deeply rooted here
Going straight up, it didn't take long to reach the biggest heat disaster, where heat and humidity met at the same time, and the smoke cloud surrounded. I saw the boiling water salvaged from the pool by the staff and poured it directly into a small bucket. There is also a service notice for free valet cooking eggs next to it. The hot spring is a feature here, but the 99-degree water cannot be soaked directly, so the scenic spot thought I found a way to build a foot bathing place on the open space next to it, and hired technicians and medicine packs to form a natural massage foot bathing field. It costs 40 yuan for a normal bath, and five medicine packs are added. Eighteen, there are also massages, etc., which are all clearly marked and voluntary consumption.
There are still quite a lot of people soaking their feet, and I tried it myself. The temperature of the water is very high. When the feet feel not hot, after adding two spoonfuls of hot spring water, the heat will appear immediately. After soaking for a full hour, the water is still warm. did not cool down
Last stop, Heshun Ancient Town
Atami Scenic also has a special tourist line to go to Heshun Ancient Town, and you can also take a taxi. The parking lot is full of taxis waiting for passengers. I found that different colors represent different operators. Heshun Ancient Town is not like scanning QR codes like other scenic spots. To enter the park, you need to change the ticket at the window. The reason is that the code for picking up the ticket cannot be recognized by the small scenic spots in the park. You can only change the ticket, so there is a small problem in the process of changing the ticket, which delays a little time. If there are acquaintances leading the way, the entrance fee can also be saved. There are small roads in the surrounding area to enter the ancient town, but foreign tourists don’t know it. There are also many inns inside, which are too dazzling. This is what I hate the most about Heshun Ancient Town
There is not much difference between the inn and Lijiang. They are all designed in small courtyards. Many of them appear in the form of museums. They are open to visit. The deep impression is the boundary between historical relics and commercial shops here. I didn’t know this place in advance. After entering the park, I walked around , but all I saw were commercial pavements. I walked up the mountain and found a few coffee restaurants with sentimental feelings, but I just didn’t see anything about cultural relics.
It turned out that we were going in the wrong direction. The display of cultural relics and culture is in the unified layout on the left side of the park, and the ones going up the mountain and to the right are all accommodation or catering shops. No wonder I didn't see the introduction of ancient history after walking half a circle
Shared electric cars, double front wheels, walking in the ancient town is particularly domineering, there is no noise in Lijiang, only the quietness without disturbing each other, some people are not used to this kind of ancient town, because the more you go up the mountain, the less attention you get. also less
The museum of the caravan has been transformed into a jewelry store. It introduces the history of the caravan transporting jewelry in ancient times. Some jewelry is also specially exhibited. Gambling stones is also a feature here. For those who don’t know how to gamble, just take a look, because It costs a few hundred to buy a random stone, and tens of thousands for a larger one. This is the first time I feel that a stone is so valuable.
The scenery by the lake is the most pleasant and refreshing. Tickets are required to enter the scenic spots along the lake. There are exhibition halls set up here for rice paper culture, horse culture, etc. The place with the strongest cultural atmosphere is by the lake.
From the layout, I can feel the wealth here in ancient times. I went to a tour guide and listened to his explanation. It is also very safe to fight the Japanese devils here. Because of the rich supplies, I can use money to send the devils every time, avoiding serious problems. destroy
Seeing this lake, I suddenly fell in love with the layout here. The most beautiful and pleasant scenery is here, and the essence of the whole ancient town is also here. I really want to be in a daze here, but time does not allow it
So I seized the time, walked around the lake, and finally took a taxi back to the tourist passenger station, got on the bus to Baoshan, and transferred to the plane back to Kunming.
those delicacies
Some people come in a hurry and leave in a hurry, and the same goes for some delicacies. After meeting in a hurry, they disappear in the stomach in a hurry. I have prepared for the worst when I came to Yunnan. I eat noodles every day. There are really noodle shops everywhere in the streets and small shops, and Sichuan and Chongqing account for the majority. For the first meal in Kunming, we chose a restaurant in Jinmabi The Chongqing noodle shop near the chicken, I have the impression that I have eaten a bowl of very spicy dan dan noodles in Chengdu, and the very strong fat rice rolls in Chongqing. These two flavors have been rippling in my mind. So it is inevitable that I will associate it with this noodle shop in Chongqing. I didn’t choose a heavy taste. I ordered a seafood noodle. The light salty taste is neither sour nor spicy. All of them are tasteful, watching them eat is enough.
In Mangshi, there are Sichuan and Chongqing flavors everywhere, only by chance at a roadside stall, a bowl of bait, the appearance of this bowl of bait, thanks to a rain, otherwise it will not stop, in this small There are meals in the store, only a single meat, powder or bait, but other ingredients can be matched with dozens of flavors, which can be added at will. Since I don’t know what the taste is, I put a little bit to try it first. For me who usually likes to eat coriander and chives, this place is simply heaven. Adding any coriander can give you new ways to eat, and the fineness of the bait is still there. Refreshing feeling on the palate. Refreshing eating, resulting in endless aftertaste.
Address: No. 14, Xianchi Road, Mangshi, price 9 yuan
The bait with meat is also made in a different way. This time it is spicy, and the style is not as many as that of Mangshi. They are all fixed dishes, spicy and spicy, and the whole sense is in sharp contrast. After all, this is also a shop in Sichuan, and the method is indeed different, but the refreshing taste of bait silk has not changed, and it is still interesting
Address: Maohou Road, Ruili City, opposite to the Municipal People's Hospital. The price is 6 yuan.
In a small shop outside the scenic area of Yizhai and Two Kingdoms, I ordered a grilled fish. This was the first meal that had nothing to do with noodles and bait during this trip in Yunnan. Because I was not used to the seasoning sprinkled on the surface, there was some It's a choking feeling. After removing the seasoning, the taste of soy sauce matches the quality of the fish very well, and the taste is very good. I ate most of the fish by myself. In addition, I also ordered a preserved egg and fried vegetables
Address: The food stall on the side of the road outside the gate of Yizhai and Two Kingdoms Scenic Area, per capita: 43 yuan
If there are no restrictions, we generally eat better, and try our best to taste local snacks and special foods. In Tengchong Gudong Gingko Village, we missed the best meal time because we were on the road, and we arrived at the scenic spot after two o'clock in the afternoon. , I chose a farm not far from the village, and ordered two dishes at random. One is the ginkgo fried meat recommended by the store, and the other is the omelette I chose. Today, when the price of pork continues to rise, pork is the one with the most leftovers. I also pick out ginkgo nuts and eat them one by one. The omelets are also good, and they have been liquidated. It is worth mentioning that the tea brewed by the store has a special taste. At that moment, I really had the urge to ask the store to buy some and make tea by myself. After understanding, the tea brewed by the store is one of the raw materials of a well-known herbal tea brand. The effect is Heat-clearing and toxic substances removing, reducing internal heat.
Address: 20 meters from the side of Ginkgo Avenue, Tengchong City, 38 yuan per capita
Yunnan's famous snack, Dajiujia, is really delicious. It tastes very similar to Guangdong's fried rice noodles, but the shape of the noodles is different. Dajiujia is fried bait slices. It is said that the emperor was in trouble in Yunnan in ancient times, suffering from hunger and cold He was rescued by the local people and made a piece of fried bait slices with the best ingredients at that time. After eating it, the emperor had an endless aftertaste and missed this taste all the time, so later generations also called it the big rescue. People here especially like to eat sour food. The accompanying dishes of snacks are sour, and even the soup is sour, especially a certain ingredient in the soup. A bite of it makes the body shake.
Address: No. 104, Jichang Community, Tengchong City, 12 yuan per capita
Fish is a common river food in Yunnan. There are fish in most cuisines. I accidentally found a lemon fish in the ancient town of Heshun. It should be an online celebrity shop. I didn’t pay attention. It may be that the lemon juice is not evenly placed. Some parts on the surface are really sour when I eat it. The part without lemon juice on the back tastes just right and is very delicious. I highly recommend one. This store is called Mom’s Taste.
Address: Yinjia Lane, Heshun Ancient Town, Tengchong County, 45 yuan per capita
The last day the car left Kunming was at nine in the morning. I arrived at Kunming South Railway Station early in the morning. I didn’t eat breakfast. I chose a time-honored Yunnan rice noodle in the waiting hall. I haven’t tasted Yunnan rice noodle in the past few days. It is other types of noodles, so I decided to try it. The price is not cheap. After all, it is at the station. The final conclusion is that this meal is only full, not delicious!
those hotels
I stayed in three hotels during this trip, and the overall feeling is good. After all, they are all booked in advance, and the price is quite generous during the National Day. The first hotel, Mangshi Three Trees Seven Days Hotel, has a very good location and is located in the center. Opposite is the passenger station to the surrounding cities. I believe that many friends who come to travel will choose this one. There are two hotels in the same building here, with the same door to enter and exit. The one on the left is the Seven Days Hotel, and the one on the right is another hotel, and they are different Different floors of elevators correspond to different hotels. The high-rise Seven Days Hotel is the largest Seven Days Hotel I have seen here. The average room is about 20 square meters, but the room here is 40 to 50 square meters. It is very large and I am not used to it. This pattern of fast chain hotels. Simple supplies are still provided free of charge, no need to pay for them, and hot water is available immediately. The only downside is that there is no place to hang clothes, so I have to figure out how to do it myself. Members can also check out after 2:00 p.m., which is very worry-free. There is no need to store luggage, and you can check out directly with your bags.
7 Days Inn ( Mangshi Sankeshu Branch)
Address: No. 172 Tuanjie Street, Mangshi
Price: 90-150 yuan
After arriving in Ruili, I chose Home Inns, and I prefer fast chain hotels. After all, the price is cheap and the accommodation is okay, but the standards of different places are different, and there are some bad ones, but it does not affect my continued choice of this type of hotel , because it is the National Day holiday, the room rate is very expensive, but I booked it a month in advance, and the lady at the front desk also teased me when I registered, saying that the room rate is already more than 300 per night, and the speed of price adjustment has not yet been booked. high speed. There are also many hotels in the surrounding area. The parking lot is shared with others. When I checked out, I encountered someone’s car blocking other people’s cars, and I couldn’t get through the phone. The person who was blocked by the car has been struggling with the lady at the front desk to provide check-in The lady at the front desk was also embarrassed about the information about people, and finally called the police to take care of herself. I don’t know what happened, and I have already left. Speaking of the room, it is also the layout of a traditional chain hotel. It is fully equipped with disposable items. Home Inns have a retractable hanger. This is something I am quite satisfied with. Finally, there is a place to hang my clothes.
Home Inns (Maohou Road, Ruili City Center)
Address: No. 11, Lecheng Street, Maohou Road, Ruili
Price: 90-150 yuan
The first criterion for choosing a hotel is the price, followed by the location. I am quite satisfied with the selection of several hotels this time. No matter the price or the location, they are all close to the city center and not far from the roads of various transportation hub systems. This hotel The hotel invested by OYO has a more luxurious feeling than the fast chain hotels, without the simple style. The hotels I stayed in these days have given two bottles of free bottled water. This hotel also has other additional drinks and snacks. There is an additional charge, and the price is similar to the market price. There are not many plugs and they are scattered. Fortunately, the bathrooms in these hotels are not separated by transparent glass, although there are always those sex toys at the head of the bed. If you want to pick faults, cheap hotels have the same problems, but from the perspective of cheap hotels, these hotels have done a good job. The lady at the front desk was eating chicken when I checked in, but I was disturbed by me and cheated my teammates
Tengchong Sovereign Business Hotel
Address: No. 117, Yuanji Village, Tengyue Town, Tengchong
Price: 120-160 yuan
Those dry goods tips
transportation:
For this itinerary, we chose Kunming to go back and forth. We used Kunming as a transit point to go to other cities. The air tickets from Kunming to Yunnan cities are generally cheaper. If it is a direct flight, the price is very expensive, so it is recommended to use After arriving in Kunming in a cheap way, choose a suitable means of transportation. If Kunming goes to southwestern Yunnan and other places, the car is the first choice, followed by the plane. At present, there are only railways under construction to Baoshan. There are no trains in Mangshi and Ruili. Each city has its own bus passenger transport service. Adjacent cities have regular trains, and there are many trains, which can satisfy friends who travel independently. It is worth noting that there are several passenger stations in a city. Depending on the nature of the function, direction, and other factors, there will be corresponding trains. Please pay attention before buying tickets. The number of long-distance buses will be less, and you must pay attention to the latest train of the day so as not to miss it. The public transport in the city is very convenient. Generally, there are special buses covering tourist attractions. The common thing is that girls are the drivers. I really don’t see a few boys driving public transportation.

There are many objects used by high-ranking monks in ancient times on display inside. It is also like a small museum. You can feel the customs of the past from the exhibition site, and people are used to turning around the Golden Pagoda three times in order to achieve success. If you are careful, you can find that there are peacock decorations on the buildings, and there are also stone statues of peacocks. It can be seen that peacocks are respected as gods and beasts here.

The Menghuan Silver Pagoda is also the Great Silver Pagoda in Mangshi, next to the Menghuan Great Golden Pagoda. It is a building that was built in recent years. The tower is currently closed to the public, but its area is larger than that of the Golden Pagoda. It is more playable than the Golden Pagoda. The Golden Pagoda is tall, and generally speaking, the price/performance ratio is also higher. From a historical perspective, the Golden Pagoda is definitely better than the Silver Pagoda. There is only a small pedestrian street between the two towers. The shops on both sides sell various fruit juices and handicrafts. The location of the scenic spot is on the edge of the no-fly zone of the airport, so it is generally not possible to fly aerial photography.
Sister sued the port
Address: Jiegao Road, Ruili City, Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province
Tickets: Free
Recommended index: ★★★
The so-called port is a customs building, but it is also the most attractive to tourists. Large and small clearance groups will come here to take pictures. There is a small square in front of the port, which can accommodate hundreds of people. There are also duty-free shopping malls around it. Among the tourists passing by, there are also many Burmese people doing business in the territory, setting up stalls selling their own handicrafts, and the prices of duty-free shops are different. In my opinion, there is nothing worth buying. There are also some Burmese people stationed on the edge of the port. The small shopping department in the city sells cigarettes and medicinal oils, etc., but it is separated by a net, which is two different countries.

The two countries of Yizhai are one of the landmark attractions in Ruili. Regardless of whether the tour group is not a free traveler, they will definitely come here to check in. This is also one of the places where you can cross the national border and enter Myanmar. Most of the area is just the same as Myanmar. Across the river, the people of the two countries stand on the opposite bank and look at each other, only to find out where the gap between the two countries is. If they do not cross the border in the designated area, they will be fined 500 yuan. When arriving at the scenic spot, there will be No. 1 car passing by.

To buy a ticket, you need to gather in the designated area and wait for the staff to call the number. The balloon ticket is actually a plate with a number. After the number is called, follow the staff to the designated area to sit on the balloon. At first I thought the balloon basket was a The door can be opened to enter and exit, but the result is not, and the one that needs to climb up and over is the same when it comes down. Little girls may be a little more troublesome. In addition, you can climb to the top of the volcano, overlooking the crater, and those who don't want to climb can ride a horse.
Tengchong Gudong Ginkgo Village

The most beautiful scenery of Ginkgo Village is at the end of November and December. When I arrived in early October, I only saw a little yellow leaves, and many were green, including the high-ranking Ginkgo King in the village. Most of the houses in the village have been converted into small hotels and B&Bs, and they all surround a small courtyard. There are a few tables in the courtyard, eating and drinking tea, watching the fallen leaves, and the ground is golden. The poetic sentiment cannot be described in words. , only personal experience. There is no direct bus to Ginkgo Village. Usually, you can charter a car in the city for 100 yuan to reach the parking lot, and then change to an eco-friendly car to enter the scenic spot. In fact, the road is not far away, only two kilometers. If you like to walk, you don’t need to go any further. Spend 10 yuan to take an eco-car, or walk directly. Only local villagers can drive in. If the season is here, you will see golden ginkgo leaves when you look up, and a piece of gold when you look down. It's like being in a dream world.

Some hot spring pools can be drunk directly, and there is a spoon next to the pool for people to scoop water to try. The most landmark is the big boiling pot on the mountain, with a constant high temperature of 99 degrees.

If medicinal materials are needed, add 10 yuan. There are also other massage services. Generally, the heat can be soaked for an hour. Add two tablespoons of hot spring water each time, and the water for soaking feet will heat up in an instant. This is also the place where I can soak eggs.

Heshun Ancient Town is one of the charming ancient towns in China. The beautiful environment makes people linger and go back and forth. The most attractive part of the whole ancient town is the section by the lake. There are also many historical sites here, but you need another ticket to enter, and other areas have been leased or rebuilt. As a restaurant for other purposes, I didn’t know the beauty of the lakeside scenery at first.
