Yunnan should be regarded as one of my favorite provinces in China. I have been to Dali, Lijiang, Kunming, and Xishuangbanna many times, and I don't know how beautiful the scenery is. This time I came to Tengchong, Yunnan, and I really think it is a treasure. Staying in Tengchong for four days gave me the urge to stay here forever, just to waste my time.
Transportation: Tengchong has its own airport, and many cities have direct flights to Tengchong. The traffic is very convenient.
The scenic spots in Tengchong are a bit far apart. It is recommended to rent a car in advance, which will save a lot of time and transportation costs. Renting a car on the app costs less than 100 a day.
Accommodation: I booked a homestay in Heshun Ancient Town for one night, and a hotel in the city for three nights. The price is quite reasonable. Generally between 200 and 300.

day1 Heshun Ancient Town—West Yunnan Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall—Atami Scenic Area
Heshun - an ancient town that has "lived" for 600 years
When you come to Yunnan, everyone usually chooses to go to the ancient city of Dali or the ancient city of Lijiang. But when you come to Heshun Ancient Town, you will really feel that this is a good place. There is no hustle and bustle of Dali and Lijiang here, there are not so many people coming and going, and there is more tranquility. According to my friends, this place is more suitable for living, and the buildings here are more primitive.
The name of Heshun Ancient Town has a special meaning: Shihe Minshun. Heshun Ancient Town, due to its geographical environment, retains the architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and is known as a living fossil of ancient Chinese architecture. It used to be an important town for caravans and a necessary place for the ancient "Southwest Silk Road". Various foreign cultures blended here, but despite these auras, Heshun still maintains its simple and simple style.
Although there is a scene of heavy traffic outside Heshun Ancient Town, but in Heshun Ancient Town, it is full of peace and tranquility.
There is no such hustle and bustle in Heshun Ancient Town, and only a few shouts are heard from time to time.
Walking slowly on this bluestone path, I feel like I have returned to my childhood. Our family still lived on the old street, and after school, we would roll on the flagstone road with a hoop. At that time, I was carefree, and I remember being particularly happy.
In the whole street, the only thing that breaks the silence is the yelling of vendors.
Heshun is not only an ancient town, but also a "hometown of overseas Chinese". It is also the largest hometown of overseas Chinese in the Southwest. More than 400 years ago, the villagers here began to "travel to the barbarians".
Walk slowly in the alleys of Heshun Ancient Town, forget the hustle and bustle of the city, and enjoy life here quietly. Let go of yourself, "wasting time".
Heshun Ancient Town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the environment must be quite beautiful.
In the ancient town, under the blue sky and beside the green water, Heshun is just so comfortable.
There is also a sea of flowers next to Heshun Ancient Town, and it is also super beautiful to take pictures here.
Heshun Ancient Town is really a must-see place when you come to Tengchong, because it is a living "600-year-old town", because it can make you want to "waste time" here, because it is so rich. In 2003, Heshun was jointly recommended by "China National Geographic" and "Fashion Travel" as one of the "50 places to go in a lifetime".
Ticket information:
Tickets are 80 yuan per person (including Heshun Library, Yuanlong Pavilion, Ai Siqi’s Former Residence, Wenchang Palace, Wanlouzi Residential Museum, Yunnan-Burma Anti-Japanese War Museum, and Heshun Alley); if you don’t play these special attractions, it is 0 yuan /people.
West Yunnan Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall
After visiting Heshun Ancient Town, there is a place worth visiting a few kilometers away from Heshun Ancient Town. A group of people who have made great contributions to the motherland are buried here. If their sacrifices would not bring back the prosperity of the motherland today, they are the soldiers and people who died in the Anti-Japanese War of the 20th Group Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Army.
The alarm bell is always ringing, don't forget the national humiliation. As the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, we can never forget this history.
The Western Dian Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall is the earliest anti-Japanese martyrs cemetery established in the country during the Anti-Japanese War. It is well preserved and unprecedented in scale. It is now a national key cultural relic protection unit.
The West Dian Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall, when I arrived at this place, my heart became a little heavy. I remembered the martyrs and felt a lot in my heart. Our good life now is all bought by them buried under the loess with their lives, and we are even more determined to cherish the present life.
Ticket information: free of charge
Atami Scenic Area
Atami Scenic Area is a good place for friends who like hot springs. Here Xu Xiake once visited here, and described it as "Fei raised his mouth and opened his upper jaw, the lower part of which was like a throat, from which water and air spewed out... The jet was like a machine, and the sound was like a roaring tiger. It's hot as a probe; or when you jump, the wind blows from it, and the water shoots sideways, grabbing people a few feet away, and the spray is like shining on people's faces."
From the entrance of the scenic spot, buy tickets, and then take a bus to the core scenic spot. This should be regarded as my first appreciation of geothermal scenic spots. The fountains caused by geothermal heat can be seen everywhere, which really makes you feel that nature is really amazing. The combination of hot air and cold air is like a fairyland.
What flows out of the cracks in the rocks is not mountain spring water, but hot spring water. (Be careful when visiting, the temperature is very high).
This "pregnancy well" is very interesting, and the deep meaning in it can be experienced by yourself.
Atami is not only a geothermal wonder, the forest here is also very well covered. The whole scenic spot is covered by green vegetation. Although
The most typical one in Atami is "Big Rolling Pot". It has a diameter of more than 3 meters, a water depth of 1.5 meters, and a water temperature of 97°C. It boils day and night and steams in four seasons. When the weather is clear, it is very beautiful here.
You can also soak in hot springs in Atami, Atami Yugu Hot Spring and Beauty Pond Hot Spring, but due to our time constraints, we did not experience these two hot springs.
tickets
60 yuan for adults; 30 yuan for children over 1.2 meters, elderly people aged 60-70, and full-time students with valid certificates; free for children under 1.2 meters, elderly people over 70 years old, active servicemen, and the disabled. Atami Yugu Hot Spring is 268 yuan, and Atami Beauty Pool Hot Spring is 238 yuan. The transportation vehicle costs 15 yuan for one side and 20 yuan for a round trip.
After visiting Atami, it was almost six or seven o'clock. At this time, we returned to the hotel and started to rest.
day2 Huipo ancient road in a small place - Longjiang Bridge - Dream Tengchong performance
The next day, I got up early in the morning, and I was particularly interested in the small attractions. During the day I chose the Longjiang Bridge and Gaoligong Mountain. Longjiang Bridge
China's power - Longjiang Bridge.
Many people will wonder why I am interested in this bridge. The Longjiang Bridge is really a representative of "Chinese power". During the entire construction, more than 20 innovative technologies have been summed up, and many domestically pioneered technologies have been applied.
And the scenery here is quite beautiful. The bridge looks even more majestic under the blue sky.
After the opening of the Longjiang Bridge, the economic significance here is even more significant, allowing Tengchong to Baoshan to achieve full speed.
Walking on the bridge, you really feel how small you are. How powerful China is, and how prosperous our motherland is.
tickets
It costs 30 yuan to visit the bridge, and no tickets will be charged if you don’t go on the bridge. You need to drive here.
Huipo ancient road in small place
In Tengchong, there is a particularly famous mountain called Gaoligong Mountain, which is really a special niche attraction in Tengchong. The Gaoligong Mountain section of the famous ancient Southern Silk Road is here.
There are many green trees here, which is especially suitable for adventure shooting. Although it is autumn, it is still full of prosperity here.
Stroll through the ancient trails in the forest. Covered with green velvet-like moss and thousand-year-old dead leaves, it looks even more gloomy.
The wind blows through the leaves and makes a rustling sound, the birds are chirping cheerfully, and there are cicadas chirping at the beginning of autumn, forming a wonderful symphony.
Although the prosperity of the original "Silk Road" is no longer here, it still has a special flavor.
Tickets: free of charge.
"Fantasy Tengchong"——A Chronicle of Tengchong
Why do you say that "Fantasy Tengchong" is a chronicle of Tengchong? He introduced the history, culture and so on of Tengchong.
The theater of "Fantasy Tengchong" is very beautifully built, and it looks very ethnic. I am full of expectations for this play before it starts.
"Fantasy Tengchong" has five chapters in total.
In the first chapter, the eruption of the volcano and the flow of hot spring water are vividly performed with characters. It looks like the stage effect is very good.
The second chapter introduces the caravan culture. The mountains are as high as the feet, and the roads are as long as the caravans. It took more than 2,000 years. In the most precipitous Hengduan mountain in the world, the people in the mountains of Yunnan, holding their horses in hand, walked a road leading to Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Europe with their feet. , This is the famous Southwest Silk Road.
The third chapter, Tengchong was once the main battlefield of Yunnan, India and Burma in the Second World War. The Expeditionary Army, the Flying Tigers, the Burma Highway, the Hump Route, the Songshan War, the Scorched Earth War, and Nanyang Mechanics, these shocking, weeping ghosts and gods anti-Japanese stories The Burma War completely reversed the situation of the Chinese Anti-Japanese War with our victory. It was China's most thorough battle of shame to drive the aggressors out of the country in the past century.
The fourth chapter, "Heshun and Shunhe", for thousands of years, Heshun Ancient Town is a realistic picture of going up the river during the Qingming Festival.
Tengchong, an important town on the ancient Silk Road in the south; Tengchong, a famous country of Anti-Japanese War culture; Tengchong, an ancient city of emerald commerce; Tengchong, the crossroads of Asian culture, the extreme edge of the collision of Eastern and Western cultures!
After watching the whole performance, I was quite shocked. What is shocking is the story of Tengchong, what is shocking is the tragedy of the "War in Western Yunnan", and what is shocking is the development of Tengchong for thousands of years.
Note: During the entire performance, photography and photography are not allowed. The pictures here are all from the Internet.

day3 Ginkgo Village - Longchuan River Rafting - Angsana Hot Spring
Early in the morning on the third day, we arrived at the famous Ginkgo Village in Tengchong. It takes more than half an hour to drive from downtown Tengchong to Ginkgo Village. If someone asks me what the color of autumn is, I will tell you that autumn is yellow. why? Ginkgo Village will tell you the answer.
Just entering the entrance of Ginkgo Village, all the ginkgo trees here have turned yellow, which is the color of autumn.
Overlooking the land, the rice in the rice fields has matured, and life here should be very pleasant.
Yellow apricot leaves fell on the roof. The scenery is also exceptionally chic.
Make a pot of tea, sit under the ginkgo tree, blowing the autumn wind, this feeling is even more special.
Ginkgo Village has more than 10,000 mu of natural contiguous ginkgo forest, with more than 3,000 ancient ginkgo trees in total, and 1,000 mu of young forest with about 33,000 trees. Among them, more than ten trees are over 1,000 years old, over 400 are over 500 years old, over 740 are over 400 years old, over 1,000 are over 200 to 300 years old, over 1,800 are over 30 years old, and 4200 plants, here is really a sea of ginkgo.

Longchuan River Rafting
After visiting Ginkgo Village, you can drive for an hour from Ginkgo Village to go rafting on Longchuan River.
The starting point of rafting is Qushi Linjiawan, and the ending point is Qushi Yongji Bridge, with a total length of 5.20 kilometers. Along the way, there are cultural relics such as Yuelaotan, Hewan Hot Spring, Broken Lotus Roots, Qingyin Mountains and Waters, Millennium Love (Lover Forest), Niuniu River, Jinniu Gorge, Huayun Tingquan, Enlightenment Stone Zen, Spring Breeze Bridge, Snow Moon Flowing Smoke, Fish Sixteen folk stories and natural landscapes of Wangdong Mansion, Niya Water Curtain, Anzhi Tinglan, Puji Pond and Yongji Bridge.
This season the reeds on the shore have already sprung up. Although it is not possible to shuttle through the reeds, it is still very good to see the scenery in the river.
In some parts of the Longchuan River, the current is relatively turbulent, and rafting is very exciting.
As a lazy person, I chose the banana boat decisively, and I don’t need to row the boat by myself. Like riding a horse, riding on it is much more exciting than rafting.
Ticket information: When I went there, there was a National Day discount, and the banana boat was 100 yuan for a round trip.
Angsana Spa
After rafting on the Longchuan River, we came to Angsana Hot Spring. Angsana Hot Spring, as the hot spring package of Banyan Tree, it is really comfortable to take a break here. After all, the hot springs of five-star hotels are very famous. Tengchong Angsana Hot Spring, as the fourth hot spring resort of Banyan Tree in China, the environment here is also quite good.
As soon as I arrived at the gate, I was fascinated by the pink grass here. The pink grass really inspired the "old man's girlish heart".
In Angsana Hot Springs, there are 43 outdoor hot springs dotted around. Each pool has a different function.
The green environment in Angsana Hot Spring is very good, and each pool is surrounded by plants.
My favorite is probably this stone bath. It is really comfortable to lie on the heated slate. Feel the fat burning.
The whole experience of Angsana Hot Spring is very good, whether it is service or environment, it is really worth recommending.
Tickets: Hot spring village plus buffet package 268 yuan, free of charge for Banyan Tree Hotel.
After three days of travel, we started our return journey on the fourth day.
Tengchong is a place worth recommending. It has outstanding people, picturesque scenery, and the best gift of nature.
