foreword
The world is suddenly late, and the mountains and rivers are already autumn.
Sunset and stars, the sky and the earth are boundless.
When the rustling autumn wind rolls up pieces of yellow leaves.
I know that the most beautiful autumn colors of the year have come quietly.
Speaking of appreciating autumn, the colorful autumn in western Sichuan;
The quiet, poetic and gorgeous autumn sun in Anhui;
The autumn scenery of the floating mountains in the majestic and vast Qinling Mountains......
All are obsessed and fascinated, and every place is woven with a golden fairy tale dream.
It is said that Yunnan is like spring all the year round, but you think there is no "autumn" in Yunnan?
Yunnan, which is sunny all year round, has a colorful Yunnan due to its complex terrain and the Gaoligong Mountains.
There are no four seasons in Yunnan, but in Tengchong, the "first city on the edge of the pole", it hides the amazing colors of the whole autumn.

On the outskirts of Tengchong, Yunnan, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, there is a gourmet restaurant like a paradise. The entire store is decorated with wooden products. Wooden doors, wooden windows, wooden buildings, wooden ladders, wooden tables, wooden benches... and the stairs are still spiraling up. The top of each hall and private room has a unique wooden ceiling. The wooden building is surrounded by greenery and water flows It is murmuring, and has a bit of Jiangnan charm. This is the famous Jinshui Pavilion in Tengchong.
Looking at Jinshui Pavilion from a distance, I thought it was a wooden art culture museum, but only after a closer look did I find that Shui is a very elegant restaurant with Yunnan flavor. Every dish in the store will be presented on the dining table with exquisite plates, making people understand that eating delicious food can also be pleasing to the eye. Among them, the signature dishes worth trying are roasted small-eared pig, Yunnan hot and sour fish, Dajiujia, small black beef, mushroom scrambled eggs, and small hanging melon.
Tengchong Volcano Geothermal Park, Yunnan version of Turkey
"Ten mountains and nine headless, streams and rivers flow eastward." Such magical landscapes appear in Lianghe County, Tengchong, the first city on the extreme edge. There is a strange "Volcanic Geology Museum" here, which is the Tengchong Volcanic Geopark, and it is one of the four major volcanic groups in my country. There are 97 Cenozoic volcanic piles in Tengchong Volcanic Geological Park, covering an area of 221.36 square kilometers. Therefore, there is an endless stream of tourists.
Tengchong Volcanic Geopark, located on the west side of Gaoligong Mountain, is mainly composed of museums, Dakong Mountain, Xiaokong Mountain and Heikong Mountain. Entering the park, you can first go to the Volcano Museum to study the relevant knowledge of the Tengchong volcano, understand the utilization of resources after the volcanic eruption, and watch the volcanic geological objects after the volcanic eruption at close range. It is of great significance for people to get close to nature, understand the structure of the earth, and realize the harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
In the Tengchong Volcanic Geopark under the blue sky and white clouds, there is a lush scene. In the pile of rocks in the center of the park, you can see columnar joint stones, surrounded by lush vegetation, and the volcanoes dotted in the distance are full of greenery and vitality. Walking in the park, you can see buildings, trails, walls, etc. built of volcanic rocks everywhere. Reasonable use in daily life not only achieves sustainable development, but also facilitates people to appreciate volcanic rocks more vividly and objectively.
However, many people come to the Volcano Geopark in Tengchong not because of their curiosity about volcanoes, but because they come to experience the hot air balloon of "Yunnan version of Turkey". Flying in a hot air balloon, you can have a panoramic view of the beauty of mountains, rocks and clouds. With the enthusiasm of tourists for foreign travel, new travel elements have been added to major domestic scenic spots. Following the exotic architecture, there is a new experience of "hot air balloons" flying high in the sky and enjoying the beautiful scenery from the perspective of God.
Although in recent years, there are many scenic spots where you can take a hot air balloon to enjoy the beautiful scenery. But the best experience is the hot air balloon in Tengchong Volcano Geopark. Compared with single or double hot air balloons in other scenic spots in China, there can be up to 5 hot air balloons leaping into the sky at the same time. From a distance, colorful hot air balloons take off in the sky, just like being in "Turkey". The hot air balloon flies over the horizon, hangs and soars at a height of about 200 meters, with the natural blue sky background on one side and the lush mountain background on the other side, it is too beautiful to behold.
Standing in the hanging basket of a hot air balloon, with a raging fire above your head, you are driving the hot autumn ball to fly, and you are surrounded by beautiful scenery as far as the eye can see. From south to north, from west to east, looking around, the scenery is different. On the hot air balloon, you can clearly see the volcanic spectacle of "ten mountains and nine headless". Almost every mountain has a huge semicircular pit, which is the imprint left by the volcano.
Among them, the panoramic views of Dakong Mountain, Xiaokong Mountain and Heikong Mountain, which are of great ornamental value in the scenic area, can be seen from the hot air balloon. In addition, the take-off pad of the hot air balloon, the villages and rivers outside the scenic area can all be clearly seen. Even if you can't use an aerial camera, you can still enjoy the fascinating spectacle of this volcanic group from God's perspective.
In the twilight of the morning, there is a straight and straight fir forest between the mountain peaks. Looking down from a high altitude, there is a straight path in the verdant fir forest. In the forest of exotic fairy tales. At this time, the clouds and fog cover the shady side of the mountain peak, and the distant mountains are like Daisy, just like a natural ink painting, beautiful and moving.
When you come to Tengchong Volcanic Geopark, you can visit museums and take a hot air balloon to enjoy the beautiful scenery. You can also ride a horse, feel the caravan culture in western Yunnan, and ride in the mountains. Of course, you can also climb Dakong Mountain and Xiaokong Mountain, breathe fresh air, walk around the health trail, exercise, and take a closer look at the volcanic remains. You don’t have to go to Turkey, but you can also feel the charm of Turkish hot air balloons. Such a treasure travel destination is worth a visit.
Tengchong Ginkgo Village, the most beautiful ginkgo kingdom in China
There are three great beauties in autumn: red leaves, colorful forests, and ginkgo. Now it is late November, looking at the mountains and ancient villages in China, the red leaves and colorful forests have withdrawn from the autumn stage, and then the "Ginkgo" is on the stage to perform the beautiful autumn fairy tale. Looking back on the past, when it comes to late autumn, it is the time when the beauty of ginkgo is overflowing. Among them, the most popular are the ancient temple Ginkgo and Ginkgo Village. Speaking of the gorgeous ginkgo beauty in late autumn, I have to mention the Ginkgo Village in Tengchong. This beautiful secret place with "the most beautiful ginkgo kingdom in China" brings travelers fairy tale dreams one after another.
Although every city is a secret place to appreciate ginkgo, such a large-scale and long-lived ginkgo group like Tengchong Ginkgo Village in Yunnan is unique in the whole country and even in the world. Therefore, the Ginkgo Village in Tengchong has the reputation of "China's No. 1 Ginkgo Village", and gathers people who love autumn from all over the world.
Tengchong is located on the Tropic of Cancer, bordering Myanmar, and is known as "the first city on the edge of the pole". There are more than 30,000 ginkgo trees in the extreme mountain village 40 kilometers away from Tengchong City, with an annual output of more than 100,000 jin of ginkgo fruit. There are several ginkgo trees in every courtyard, so the name of Ginkgo Village is worthy of the name.
This beautiful small mountain village is the Jiangdong Ginkgo Village in Tengchong. The whole village has about a thousand farmers and a population of nearly 4,000. Adjacent to Tengchong Volcanic Geopark, it is very convenient whether you are driving or taking a local bus, and it only takes 1 hour to reach.
Tracing back to the origin, Jiangdong Village did not plant ginkgo a long time ago. This small mountain village was once a volcano. After the eruption of the volcano, the soil contained rich organic minerals. It happened that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established Yongchang County in the Baoshan area, and stationed troops here to open up wasteland. By chance, the seeds of ginkgo were scattered all over the village and thrived. Hundreds of years later, it became the ginkgo village that is "hot all over the Internet" today.
In late autumn, when you walk into the village, you will find that you don't need a map to visit here. One step, one scene, one courtyard, one painting. On a sunny afternoon, wisps of gentle sunlight pass through the green and yellow ginkgo trees and scatter on the ground like a golden carpet, reflecting blossoming spots of light, which are bright and moving. At the corner of the half-person-high wall, there are mountains of ginkgo leaves, like gold bricks, consolidating the old and mottled old wall. There are several tables, chairs and benches in the yard of every household. Sitting in the yard, basking in the warm sun, admiring the golden-yellow ginkgo scenery, and chatting with neighbors about daily affairs, this kind of life is very enviable.
Walking through the entire Ginkgo Village, you will find the beautiful scenery of Ginkgo. The courtyard walls of these villages are also unique, huge and uneven. I asked the local people to know that the stones used to build the yard were all volcanic stones, and they really made the best use of everything. There are also some small shops selling food and specialty products, teahouses and restaurants in the village, but none of these destroy the tranquility of Ginkgo Village. There is no transitional commercial atmosphere here, only the most rustic beauty of the countryside.
It is reported that there is a ginkgo king in Tengchong Ginkgo Village. It has luxuriant branches and leaves, covering the sky and the sun. It takes several adults to surround it for a week. I heard from the older generation that Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period once tied a horse to this tree, so the people in the village are proud of it. There are 2 ginkgo trees over 600 years old in the whole Gingko Village, more than 50 ginkgo trees with 500-year-old trees, more than 70 ginkgo trees with 400-year-old trees, more than 150 ginkgo trees with 200-year-old trees, and more than 600 ginkgo trees with 30-year-old trees. Many ginkgo trees are 20 years old. The Ginkgo Village in Tengchong is not only densely forested, but also the oldest and huge ginkgo forest in China. From late November to early December every year, it becomes a golden fairy tale world, which amazes the whole of Yunnan and even the whole of Yunnan. What a beautiful place to go.
Tengchong Beihai wetland, a floating grassland
Tengchong, the Garden of Eden under Gaoligong Mountain. There are not only the wonders of volcanoes, natural hot springs, beautiful ginkgo villages, but also a strange "water grassland", where not only birds and animals can inhabit, adults can also use haystacks as boats to travel around the lake, which is breathtaking.
A piece of grassland floating on the water, the water is beautiful, the mountains and lakes are on each side, as beautiful as poetry and painting. This is the Beihai Wetland, which is only 12.5 kilometers away from the urban area of Tengchong. Its landform is a volcanic barrier lake swamp, surrounded by mountains. Or is it the only one in the world? It took hundreds of millions of years to form the gene pool of the species, which is magical, beautiful and intoxicating.
Walking into the Beihai Wetland is like coming to the grassy sea of Lugu Lake. Both are plateau lakes covered with grass. The difference is that the Beihai Wetland is a volcanic barrier lake swamp, while Caohai is just an ordinary plateau lake covered with grass. Beihai Wetland is more magical and beautiful than Caohai. The aquatic plants here are intertwined and densely intertwined. Day after day, year after year, old grass decays and rots, and new grass regenerates on the spot. Gradually, the land is formed. Stacks of sturdy haystacks are suspended above the green lake, forming small grass islands.
After an accidental attempt, the locals discovered that these "grass islands" are extremely strong. An adult standing on them will not only not fall into the water, but with the help of a bamboo pole to paddle the water, this small floating "grass island" It can also walk in the water like a bamboo raft. Therefore, local people often use these grass islands as boats to catch fish and shrimp in the swamp. Now it has become one of the must-see items for tourists to visit Beihai.
When you come to Beihai Wetland, you must not miss a boat trip to the lake. Because of the unique natural environment of the North Sea, there are many rare birds and fish hidden in the wetland. These natural elves often like to move in the middle of the lake, and only cruise ships can appreciate the strange appearance of these elves up close. During the cruise, you can also enjoy the boatman's rowing chant, sometimes high and passionate, sometimes melodious and melodious, which is refreshing and full of wit.
When the boat reaches the pier in the middle of the lake, you will find that the villa in the middle of the lake is actually a resting tea area. The water plank road in the center of the lake connects the left and right, and the center is the resting area. There are many check-in spots for tourists to take pictures, such as Internet celebrity glass balls, Internet celebrity lounge chairs, etc. If you have enough time, you might as well order it With a drink, sit here for a while, waiting for the most gorgeous sunset under the curling smoke.
Beihai under the blue sky and white clouds, the lake is calm and calm like a mirror. The blue sky and white clouds are reflected on the side of the meadow, inlaid with blue grass seas, like carpets with patterns, which is wonderful. In the small shop on the side of the lake, you can also experience hand-made flower cakes, which enriches the ordinary journey of sightseeing in mountains and rivers.
Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, I took a nap by the lake with my friends and had a steaming hot pot meal. It is said that beautiful scenery matches delicious food, but in fact, beautiful scenery and delicious food are more comfortable and pleasant. The original small butter hot pot, because of the beautiful sunset in Beihai, is extraordinarily delicious. If you can’t eat spicy food, you can also try the small hot pot with the taste of Dongyin Palace, and start a meal with exotic combinations. Wouldn’t it be wonderful?
Dream Tengchong, the soul of western Yunnan
It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. It is better to watch a tourism performance than to visit the former residence. If you want to understand the customs of a place in a short period of time, then watching a tourism performance is the best choice.
A set of "Fantasy Tengchong" tells the past and present of the people in western Yunnan. In the form of song and dance performances, the history, culture and folk customs of Tengchong are integrated into the performance, using the high-tech lighting stage and dreamy music as the background. In contrast, it reproduces the unpretentious life of the local people in Tengchong and the spirit of tenacious struggle to win the dawn.
This performance story took place on the travel route from Ruili, Yunnan to Tengchong, west of Yunnan. The five chapters of "Hometown of Overseas Chinese" and "Important Town on the Southern Silk Road" tell the legendary history of Tengchong and show the colorful customs and customs of Tengchong. It can be called "Tengchong's boutique cultural landscape", and it is a must-see performance in Tengchong.
West Yunnan Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall
Tengchong Known as "the first city on the extreme edge", it was once an important trading center for great merchants and great merchants. However, with the outbreak of the Second World War, this originally prosperous town became the main battlefield of the "West Yunnan Anti-Japanese War". After 127 days of bloody fighting, the expeditionary force regained Tengchong and became the first county to recover during the Anti-Japanese War. . In order to remember this past, the Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall in West Yunnan is here.
The well-known Western Dian Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall is a martyr cemetery built by people in Tengchong to commemorate the 20th Chinese Expeditionary Army's anti-Japanese soldiers and victims. The entire park is composed of exhibition halls, martyrs' shrines, martyrs' tombs, and memorial towers.
When we walk into the West Yunnan Anti-Japanese War Museum, we will first see a memorial tower carved with stone pillars. Different from the memorial halls in other places, there is a huge alarm bell hanging in the middle of this memorial hall, which means to remind the world not to forget the national humiliation, and the alarm bell will ring forever. Today's beautiful life is all due to the heroic struggle of the heroes of the Anti-Japanese War. It is not easy. We should be prepared for danger in times of peace, remember the past, and keep history in mind.
Walking into the memorial hall of the Anti-Japanese War in western Yunnan, there are more than 20,000 relics of the Anti-Japanese War and 1,500 pictures. The tragic past is reorganized with pictures and texts, which is thought-provoking. This museum is also one of the most authoritative memorials that record the history of the Anti-Japanese War in western Yunnan, and it is worth seeing.
On the side of the exhibition hall, there is a huge cemetery, which is the national cemetery to commemorate the expedition heroes who recovered Tengchong. Its name "National Memorial" is taken from the meaning of the grief of the people of the whole country, which means to remember the history and cherish the memory of the heroes. This cemetery was built under the initiative of Li Gengen, the local "first county magistrate of the Anti-Japanese War" and was built according to the layout of the cemetery in Nanjing. For the heroes who died bravely, the higher the rank of the hero, the higher the rank of the hero. Tengchong is a city of heroes that attracts worldwide attention. The Anti-Japanese War Museum in West Dian is not only a base for patriotism education, but also a national-level cultural relic protection unit, which is worth visiting.
Heshun Ancient Town, a beautiful hometown of overseas Chinese
The distant mountains are vast, and the nearby rivers are melodious.
The camellias in the courtyard are fragrant, and the ancient alleys linger for a long time.
The old house is quiet by the mountain, and the stream and bridge are slanted along the street.
Leap past the old days and dream back to Taoyuan.
Everywhere is beautiful and picturesque, surpassing little Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Heshun Ancient Town, without the hustle and bustle of Dali, is not as passionate as Lijiang, but it perfectly interprets the tranquility.
I like the light here, the mountains here, the streets here, the people here...
Everyone has a feeling of an ancient town in their hearts. From ancient times to the present, literati and inkmen appreciate the ancient town of Jiangnan Water Town. However, the ancient town in the southwest of the motherland seems to be unknown. In recent years, Dali Ancient Town and Lijiang Ancient Town have become famous, but the quiet "Heshun Ancient Town" is rarely known.
Heshun Ancient Town is an ancient town of overseas Chinese with a history of more than 600 years. Because the river in the town passes around the village, it was named "Heshun", which means "Heshun". Later, due to the return of overseas Chinese, it was named Heshun Ancient Town, which meant "Scholar and Minshun". Hundreds of years have passed, this important town on the Southwest Silk Road is still as quiet as before, and its quaint style has not changed.
The difference from other ancient towns is that Heshun Ancient Town is an all-encompassing town. Because Heshun was opened to trade and commerce more than 400 years ago, the architectural styles of the whole town are very different, that is, there are Huizhou architecture, Jiangnan water town charm, There are also European-style buildings, Chinese-style courtyards... the architectural styles are harmonious and harmonious, and there are no large-scale changes. Therefore, many buildings have been preserved intact, such as the township library.
What is surprising is that Heshun Ancient Town is still a pearl formed by the collision of multiple cultures. Because it is located in the fortress of the Southwest Silk Road, the Central Plains culture, Western culture, extreme border culture, and southern culture collide with each other, forming a splendid overseas Chinese culture and caravan culture. The people in this small town do not do their jobs, but they prefer to read. They have the largest rural library in China, and every household has the Four Treasures of the Study. Many farmers can write well, which is amazing.
The ancient town of Heshun with blue bricks and black tiles, white walls and high eaves is full of flowers. There are flowers blooming here all year round. The most beautiful time is when the bougainvillea and lotus are in full bloom. Along the alleys of the ancient town, you can go all the way to Shuanghong Bridge, Wenchang Pavilion, Heshun Library, Liu's Ancestral Hall, Yuanlong Pavilion, Ai Siqi's former residence, etc.
Even today, the Heshun library is still in trend, but not out of date. The front garden is beautiful and elegant, the middle is the reading and borrowing area of the library, and the rear is the rare book collection area of the library. The entire library is neutral and harmonious, with white as the main tone, and the environment is extremely elegant and refined, which is very suitable for taking pictures.
The former residence of Ai Siqi, a great philosopher of a generation, is in the ancient town of Heshun. Go straight up along the quiet bamboo forest, and you will come to the Ai Siqi Memorial Hall, which combines Chinese and Western styles. Ai Siqi's former residence has European-style side windows and balconies, as well as Chinese-style courtyards. The environment of the entire former residence is very quiet and elegant, and the interior decoration is also very particular, which has high aesthetic appreciation value.
There are many places worth appreciating in this small town, not only has many historical legends, but also has a picturesque "little bridge and flowing water family", which is full of emotion and endless aftertaste.
Simola Wa Village
Colorful Yunnan not only has beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate, it is also a multi-ethnic gathering place. In the mountains, only 5 kilometers away from Tengchong Airport, there is a village of 278 people, in which a group of "shoutu people" live. As time goes by, this ethnic group is like flowing water, and it is endless. It is the Simola Wa Village in Tengchong.
Simola Wa Village is also known as "Zhongzhai", because when the Wa ancestors decided to settle here, there was a village on the left and right sides of the village, so it was named Zhongzhai. "Smoola" is the Wa language, meaning "happy place".
The village is built on the hillside, the houses are scattered on both sides of the road, and the gardens are full of fruits and vegetables in front of and behind the houses. It has a huge banyan shrub area and Qiziquan wetland. Below the village is a thousand mu of farmland, surrounded by streams, lush forests and bamboos, and is extremely quiet.
It is reported that the villagers of the Wa people in Zhongzhai still retain their customs of marriage, funeral, marriage and marriage, and some elders of the Wa people can speak some Wa languages. Most of the people in the village live on the most primitive farming culture. With the vigorous development of Wa tourism in the local area, some people have begun to sell Wa's characteristic agricultural and sideline products to subsidize their households.
The Wa people especially love water, so there is a long and narrow drainage ditch outside every house. In the bush area below the village, in addition to the criss-crossing ancient banyan trees, there is also the Qizi Spring for blessing. They even built a laundry kiosk specially for washing clothes. They love nature and follow the natural way of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
During special local festivals, Wa people will use pieces made of banyan trees for singing and dancing performances. The bull head totem is also embellished in the whole village, which indicates their modest and kind nature.
Strolling through the village, you can also see many colorful murals. The content of the murals tells the unique folk customs of the Wa people. The most ornamental thing in the entire village is the National Culture Exhibition Hall, which displays the farming traces and historical origins of the ancestors of the Wa people. Under the ancient tree next to it, there is a strange wooden selection staircase. The colorful Wa culture is amazing.
Liu Yongzhou's shadow puppets, the essence of folk culture
In the beautiful Tengchong folk, there is a 74-year-old inheritor of shadow puppet non-heritage, and he is Liu Yongzhou. Shadow puppetry is an ancient traditional Chinese folk art that flourished in the Tang Dynasty and has a long history of being as famous as the Qing Dynasty. In the old days, shadow puppetry was a fun for the royal relatives and officials to pass the time. Modern shadow puppetry is a treasure of folk art, which brings endless happiness to people.
Some people say that "shadow puppetry" is the predecessor of movies, and this is not nonsense. Investigating the form of its shadow puppetry, using the frame, hanging ornaments, shadow puppet figures, etc. on the white screen, using the principle of light projection, using body, action, voice, and language to perform a wonderful shadow puppet show.
There are many schools of shadow puppetry in China, and Liu Yongzhou of Tengchong was born in a family of shadow puppetry. Four generations have devoted themselves to the cause of shadow puppetry. In Liu Yongzhou's generation, he has spent more than 60 years specializing in shadow puppetry and created the first one based on his own. A shadow puppet studio named after himself.
This studio is mainly divided into performing arts area and shadow puppet sales area. Liu Yongzhou created a small plot in his studio that can accommodate 60 people to watch shadow puppetry, and also created a shadow puppet show "The Great Rescue" with unique Tengchong folk characteristics. Tengchong culture is especially worth seeing.
Behind the performing arts area is Liu Yongzhou’s daily working area for making shadow puppets. In addition to conceiving the script, a shadow puppet show also needs to make shadow puppet characters, some scenery in the story, hanging decorations, etc., and the shadow puppet characters need to go through skin selection. In order to successfully produce a shadow puppet figure, there are multiple processes such as drawing, drawing, and engraving. And a shadow play will take more time.
Although the modern film and television industry is booming, shadow puppets have gradually faded out of people's vision, but Liu Yongzhou still sticks to his shadow puppets, not only to promote China's intangible cultural heritage, but also because of his deep love for shadow puppets. Therefore, Liu Yongzhou will also make shadow puppets of popular movie characters, such as Nezha and Ao Bing. If you have plenty of time, you might as well sit in the store and reminisce about the joy brought by shadow puppetry.
Atami Scenic Area, Heavenly Soup
Some people say: Tengchong has 99 volcanoes, which means it has 99 times the enthusiasm; with 88 hot springs, it has 88 times the gentleness. On the bank of the hot sea, the water is in full bloom, and you can feel the comfort of natural washing once, and your heart will follow the water. Tengchong is a famous geothermal scenic spot in my country. Among them, the hottest and most peculiar external display is Tengchong Rehai.
Tengchong Rehai covers an area of about 90,000 square kilometers. There are more than 80 gas springs and hot spring groups in its territory, and more than ten of them have water temperatures as high as 90°C or higher. The whole scenic spot is surrounded by green hills and full of water. Shaded by greenery and filled with steam, it is like a fairyland.
Atami is the second largest hot spot in my country, mainly composed of Atami Stone, Big Rolling Pot, Bath Valley, Pregnancy Well, Pearl Spring, and Beauty Pond. Along the hiking trail, up the stairs, you will pass these hot springs. The origin of each hot spring name is very meaningful. Pearl Spring is named because there are many small springs at the bottom of the hot spring, and the spring water flows out of the small holes like pearls squeezed out.
There are many secret places where you can "pregnancy" in the market. For example, if you drink the water of Lugu Lake, you will get pregnant. And the water from the pregnancy well in Tengchong not only leads to pregnancy if you drink it, but there is even a saying that "men are left and women are right". Because there are two pregnancy wells, Longjing on the left and Fengjing on the right, it is said that drinking the water from the pregnancy well will make your wish come true. In fact, there is no scientific research, but the water in the pregnancy well contains rich minerals, which is helpful to regulate the female body.
Many people come to Atami Scenic Area for the "hot sea boiling pot". The hot spring water here is as high as 102 degrees, and the hot spring water boils all year round. There is a pot on each side for tourists to steam eggs. In addition to steaming eggs, you can also steam peanuts, potatoes, and nutritious soups. It takes 15 minutes to steam a bunch of eggs. While waiting for steamed eggs, you can make a bucket of hot spring water in a large boiling pot and soak your feet for health, which is very beneficial to your body.
Come to Tengchong without taking a dip in the hot springs. The hot springs in Tengchong are all natural soup pools, mainly carbonic acid springs, sulfur springs, and sodium chloride springs. The hot springs in Tengchong Hot Sea Scenic Area are mainly concentrated in Yugu, Meimeichi, and Jade Hot Springs. In addition to the Yuanyuan soup pool, its hot spring pools also have special medicine baths, tea soup, red wine soup, coffee soup and other special hot spring pools, as well as private hot springs with high privacy to meet the needs of different tourists. The hot springs in Tengchong are different from other places in that the water quality is silky, and the skin feels smooth after soaking in it, so it is widely praised.
Gaoligong Mountain Tea Expo Garden
Yunnan, which is like spring all the year round, is a paradise for trance and leisure. When I first arrived in Tengchong, I heard from the locals that only a 5-minute drive from Tengchong Airport, there is a "beautiful manor", where you can not only enjoy tea and meals, but also experience the life of alpine tea gardens. This secret place is the Gaoligong Mountain Tea Expo Garden, a palace of tea fragrance with legendary stories.
Gaoligong Mountain Tea Expo Garden is a comprehensive park integrating sightseeing, picking, tea tasting, board and lodging. In the unique Chinese hall with Yunnan characteristics, there is a sculpture of the first person of Tengchong tea culture, and the surrounding environment is a wide area for tourists to enjoy tea and have a rest. There is a wide room on one side, which is the restaurant of the Tea Expo Garden, where you can eat nutritious and healthy tea meals with a combination of meat and vegetables.
Stepping into the Gaoligong Mountain Tea Expo Garden, you will find lush green eyes and a pleasant fragrance. The lush tea gardens make people refreshed. The difference from tea gardens in other regions is that the tea trees here are taller and the distance between the tea trees is wider. Walking along the criss-crossing tea garden sightseeing trails, I found a beautiful tea garden.
This small house has a wide courtyard, which is a "tent-style" B&B with two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom. The wall facing the tea garden in each guest room is a unique wall made of a material that looks like a projection screen. On a sunny afternoon, wisps of golden light scattered on the tops of the tea trees, and the mottled shadows of the tea trees swaying in the wind reflected on the curtain, becoming a natural wall painting, full of wit and wit. This homestay also has a simple and stylish living room, as well as an open kitchen and bathing area where you can easily prepare gourmet food. Although the area is not particularly large, the basic facilities in the house are complete, satisfying people's dream of retreating to the tea garden.
Tengchong Food
Tengchong is located in the southwestern border and has a unique food culture. Thanks to the nourishment of Gaoligong Mountain, it has bred a variety of delicacies. In addition to western Yunnan dishes, there are also delicacies such as herbal diet, ginkgo feast, tea feast, fish and shrimp feast, pot rice, roasted piglet and so on.
Tengchong Earthen Hotpot: Tengchong hotpot does not use metal hotpots, but only earthen pottery hotpots made in Manyi Village on the outskirts of Tengchong. Tengchong Hot pot used to be eaten in spring and autumn when visiting tombs and worshiping ancestors in the mountains. Now it is not limited by time and has become a daily banquet for guests.
Special Grilled Fish in Beihai: The wetlands in Beihai are rich in aquatic plants and rich in freshwater fish. Fill each crucian carp belly with coriander, cut the fish into patterns, smear the unique wild sesame seeds on it, then bake it and brush it with sauce, it is delicious.
Teng Medicine Feast: Tengchong is also a famous place for producing medicines. In order to balance their health, the locals like to eat medicines and cook nutritious and healthy delicacies.
Ginkgo fruit emerald banquet: I ate a restaurant outside Ginkgo Village that uses ginkgo as a dish. In addition to Ginkgo roast chicken, there are also small intestines wrapped with ginkgo, which are also quite innovative and have an excellent taste.
Roasted small-eared pig: a unique local pig on the small-eared pig. It is small in size and has fresh and tender meat. It is often used to make roasted suckling pig with excellent taste.
