Pu'er, Yunnan, let everyone know that tea is very famous, but there is another place where the soul can elope, the Red Panda Manor, and the rhinoceros hide scenic spot is also located here, where there are various rare animals and plants. This trip to Pu'er made me appreciate Nature has a fuller understanding and awareness.

Whenever I have free time, I will take root in the botanical garden and learn to watch vegetation. I especially want to find a professional place where I can relax myself in nature and learn vegetation. I saw the information about the Red Panda Manor on the Internet. I always thought that there were only animals, but after I learned about it, I found that there are many things to watch And very sorry vegetation also survives here. Without hesitation, I directly bought a plane ticket and came to the formation experience in the first few days.

Yet the land has been rhino-free for 80 years, since the last two rhinos were killed in 1933. In order to allow rhinos to reappear in Yunnan, Pu'er National Park and Yunnan Safari Park have launched a scientific research project to "rebuild rhino populations". After nearly three years of negotiation with South Africa, South Africa finally agreed to introduce 9 wild rhinos in Yunnan, China, 2 of which lived in the Yunnan Wildlife Park, and 7 of them were raised in the wild in the Rhinoceros Scenic Area of ​​Pu'er National Park for breeding.

There are currently 7 species of apes in the world, and there are 4 species in China, namely the white-handed gibbon, the white-browed gibbon, and the black-crested gibbon And the white-cheeked gibbon, Pu'er National Park is the white-cheeked gibbon.

"Ziaoguatang Wetland": Ziguatang Wetland is a natural wetland lake. The reason why this lake is called "Ziaoguatang" is because an edible "Ziaoguatang" grows in this lake. In the 1950s and 1960s, "famine" ", it was the watermelon here that saved the lives of many local people. This wetland is an ideal home for all kinds of wading birds, such as egrets, gray cranes, oriental white storks, yellow-billed storks, white-naped cranes and so on.

It has no towering trees and fewer birds of prey, but it stands tall among the mountains and It has become a travel paradise for red pandas. We call it "The Traveling Red Panda".

In the Rhinoceros Ping Scenic Area of ​​Pu'er National Park, besides the ferocious rhinoceros, there is also a super cute red panda. When it sees the fruit in your hand, it will look at you with pitiful eyes and ask you what you want to eat.

Red pandas are still widely distributed in the wild, but the population is decreasing due to reasons such as catching, trading, and habitats being reclaimed and destroyed by humans. The Red Panda Manor allows red pandas to thrive in such a purely natural environment, and strives to keep this close friend of human beings who is gradually decreasing here through artificial assisted breeding, and shoulders the important task of expanding the red panda population. By then, Pu'er National Park will become the largest red panda breeding base in the country.

Groups of deer can be seen at any time on the way from the scenic spot to the Red Panda Manor.


The dinner was arranged in the red panda manor ecological small hot pot. It is also a very unique experience to enjoy the small hot pot with friends in the mountains and enjoy the scenery.

Another item in the park is insect observation at night. Professional teachers lead the team to go together. Friends who like insects can go there once.


Flying through the jungle is one of the hotel's itineraries. There are professional instructors leading the tree through the jungle. Due to safety factors, there are no photos. Leaping over the jungle has long lines and short lines. I suggest that everyone take the long line and the zipline is basically super fun.

There are still many projects in the Red Panda Manor

There are insects observed at night.

There is also a morning yoga program, Mr. Ah Fu is from Beijing and is a very popular person here.

At the same time, there are also very distinctive national dances.

Although in modern transportation, caravans have already become a distant figure and a drop in the ocean in the history of human civilization, the tragic and arduous history as picturesque as poetry still makes our hearts move. For thousands of years, the Ancient Tea-Horse Road has been like a bloodline of Chinese culture, spanning thousands of miles, passing through areas of many ethnic minorities, languages, and cultures, organically linking various ethnic groups, regions, and cultures, and some of them Important post stations and distribution centers have gradually developed and formed many small and medium-sized cities today. This ancient road is also an important way for the spread of Chinese civilization.

After entering the scenic area, there are raised sika deer for everyone to watch and feed.

Pu'er has been a tea distribution and trade center in southern Yunnan with unique advantages on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road since ancient times. It is known as Yinsimao and Southeast Asia's land port. The Ancient Tea-Horse Road is one of the well-known linear cultural sites in China. The Ancient Tea-Horse Road here is an important section in the north-south direction of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road. The best section of ecology along the road. In this picturesque subtropical jungle surrounded by mountains and rivers, you can overlook the green and rolling Pu'er tea mountains and taste the long-standing tea-horse culture. Let's take the ancient tea-horse road again, appreciate the intangible cultural heritage of the osprey's fish-catching skills, cook wine with the Maguotou who travels all over the country, and ride horses in the grassy wetland?

It takes about 15 minutes for the cable car to reach the top of the mountain. This is a large platform on the top of the mountain. It is an excellent place to overlook Pu'er.


Some buildings in the Ancient Tea Horse Road Scenic Area reproduce the glory of the past.

The industrious people have cultivated a neat tea garden, and the short tea trees grow densely and lushly, and there are bursts of plant aroma when you get close.

When going down the mountain, there is a forest slide project. If you don't want to walk more, you can take the slide down and feel very exciting.

The Peacock Feast is in a restaurant in the ancient city. It would be better to eat this with local rice wine.

6 kilometers of jungle hiking, along the way you can find a lot of interesting vegetation.


Wild fungus, I don't know if this kind of fungus can be eaten.

Teacher Xu Wenfeng, the team leader, explained the names and functions of these plants to us. When I asked him how he knew these vegetations, he said that his father had taken him to the mountains to collect herbs since he was a child, and gradually he knew all the vegetation in the mountains.


Commonly known as Jinsulan (poison), but Teacher Xu told me that the locals may add a little (just a little) when cooking.

Nine Dead Resurrection Grass is a perennial upright evergreen herbaceous fern. Its scientific name is Selaginella. When the weather is dry, the twigs of Selaginella curl up and curl up to retain water in the body. Once it gets rain and the temperature rises, the curled twigs will flatten out, so it is called "Nine Deaths Resurrection Grass". It can detoxify, reduce swelling and stop bleeding. Treat wounds, unknown swollen poison, snake bites and scorpion stings, it seems that it can also cure stones.


The main functions and indications of Luo Fumu are lowering blood pressure and sedation, promoting blood circulation, relieving pain, clearing heat and detoxifying, used for high blood pressure, dizziness, insomnia, epilepsy, snake bites, bruises, etc.

Along the way, I encountered a lot of functional plants, some I knew and some I didn’t know. I feel that the Red Panda Manor is a school where you can learn a lot of botany. Some of the staff in the Red Panda Manor are teachers in certain fields.


Walking back to an end point, there is a tent camp here for everyone to take a lunch break, and of course lunch is also here.


There are tents of various types, one bedroom and one living room, two bedrooms and one living room. It is a special flavor to make tea and play cards here.


Lunch is also here, glutinous rice + beef + peanuts served with open soup, the taste is superb. The staff told us that the locals used to eat like this when they went up the mountain. It was inconvenient to carry things up the mountain, so they pinched glutinous rice and beef together.


In addition to good tea, Pu'er coffee is also a special product. After lunch break, I also experienced the process of hand-grinding coffee in the afternoon tea.

At the end of the trip, the hotel's shuttle bus took us to the room to rest. Strictly speaking, the entire mountain is the Red Panda Manor, and each experience point is located in every corner of the mountain.


At the barbecue dinner at Tianbi restaurant, girls and boys from ethnic minorities sang songs, chefs arranged food on the spot, beautiful singing in the mountains and fields, and an elegant environment. It is simply enjoyable here, but the condition for opening a meal is that the number of people must be enough.


Teacher Xu is not only an expert in plants, but also a master of tea drinking. He also taught us the steps of making Pu'er.

The production of Pu'er, we went all the way down to Jiangcheng according to the guidance of a mobile phone tour Yunnan app, and stayed at Tianhao International Hotel in Jiangcheng at night. The hotel is exquisitely decorated and the location is excellent. Five-star praise.

The next day we went to Zongdong Town, which can be called a small tourist town. Most of the ancient villages of the Dai people in Zongdong Town are well preserved. You can experience the customs of the Dai people here, and you can also watch Asian elephants. Due to the good ecological protection, in recent years Dozens of Asian wild elephants often live here.

This time we took the Wukong rental car, and they led us along the way.

We came to Ning'er. In order to see Ashima's hometown, the hotel we chose at night was Ning'er Qingshuiwan Holiday Hotel. The large viewing windows attracted people to the outside scenery. The hotel's equipment and facilities are very complete. I am very concerned about the details of the hotel as I travel frequently. The meticulous details of this hotel make my stay here very comfortable.

Hongfuyuan is the most distinctive internet celebrity restaurant in the area.


There are shadows of Ashima everywhere here, and this square is named Ashima Square.

Today I came to Mohei Town, 30 kilometers away from Ning'er Town, and paid homage to the former residence of Yang Likun. The old artist's life has also experienced many twists and turns. In May 2009, the Ning'er County Committee of the Communist Party of China and the County People's Government decided to restore and rebuild Yang Likun's former residence according to its original historical appearance, and established the Yang Likun's Former Residence Restoration and Reconstruction Council to formulate regulations and supervise the implementation of the project. The project was undertaken by Dali Guofengguyuanlin Co., Ltd. and was successfully completed in October 2010.

She is well-known in the international film circle for starring in the movies "Five Golden Flowers" and "Ashima". It has also become the screen idol of generations for more than half a century and the "god of beauty" in the hearts of audiences.

Yang Likun is the embodiment of beauty, kindness and simplicity, and is the common pride of the Yi people, the people of the whole province and the people of the whole country.


A town on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road back then, you can still feel the feeling of the 1960s here, a very unique town.

The next stop is the Famous Realm Qiyuan Famous Ethnic Theme Hotel. The hotel is full of ethnic characteristics and it is worth coming to experience it. The hotel is clean and has a high standard of hygiene.


We arrived in the west of Mojiang County. This Tropic of Cancer Sign Park, which was built in 1997, is a national 3A-level scenic spot integrating astronomy, geography, gardens, popular science, sculpture, and folk customs. It is also the closest scenic spot from Kunming to Pu'er and Xishuangbanna Expressway, because it is known as "the first scenic spot of Kunming Grand Passage".


I learned from the introduction card that the Tropic of Cancer is a latitude circle north of the equator, and it is also the limit where the sun illuminates the northern hemisphere vertically. Because the plane formed by the earth's revolution around the sun forms the largest angle with the earth's equator, it is called is the angle of the yellow-red intersection angle. At the 16th International Astronomical Union meeting in 1976, it was decided to set the position of the Tropic of Cancer in 2038 as 23°26′. On this magical streamer, there are the world's largest Sahara Desert, the deepest Mariana Trench, the highest Mount Everest, the most unusually powerful Bermuda Triangle, the most profound Mayan civilization, and the most incredible pyramids.

When this streamer passes through the Mojiang River, the largest oasis, a mysterious "twin phenomenon" is created, that is, at noon on the summer solstice every year, when the sun shines directly on the northernmost position of the earth, the Tropic of Cancer of the Mojiang River will appear "immediately disappearing". Astronomical wonders. After the summer solstice, the direct sunlight gradually moves south to the southern hemisphere. Therefore, Mojiang is also known as "the place where the sun turns around". When winter goes to spring and the sun shines again, it is called "return". It can be said that the Tropic of Cancer Sign Park in Mojiang interprets in its unique way the magical story of the phenomenon of twins formed under the combined action of the Tropic of Cancer magnetic field and the magical twin well water. In 1997, the Mojiang Tropic of Cancer Sign Park not only became the educational base of patriotism and astronomy in Yunnan Province, but also enjoys the reputation of the largest scale and most abundant Tropic of Cancer Sign Park in the world. It can be seen from the guide map that the scenic spot is based on the actual position of the Tropic of Cancer in 2038 as the main axis of the scenic spot. According to the natural direction of the mountain, a very varied and systematic three-dimensional layout is formed from low to high, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. There are 15 landscapes with novel designs, unique shapes and unique styles in sequence. These landscapes use visual and intuitive art forms to allow visitors to increase their understanding and cognition of the Tropic of Cancer, thereby expressing human beings' awe of nature, sunshine and life. .


Twin wells, drink a little water from both wells, and then lie down on the stone bed. The chances of giving birth to twins after going back are very high.
