Speaking of Yunnan, the years are gentle.
Here you can find Lijiang, the "City of Aventure", Dali, the "wind, flowers, snow and moon", and Shangri-La, the "place closest to heaven". South".
You may have been there before, but you probably don't think it's new, not to mention the experience of playing, the hustle and bustle of the world full of tourists, you have to stay away through the screen. Ashamed to say, as a son-in-law of Yunnan, I was a little bit at a loss when I first heard about Tengchong. I took the opportunity to visit this first city on the extreme edge, volcanoes, hot springs, and ancient towns. After three days and two nights of close contact, I thought: Tengchong is so beautiful, I will soon cover it. Can't stop.
The above is written after my fever subsides and I wake up, um, after the fever subsides.
【One】Talk about this trip with a fever
Tengchong is located in the southwestern border of the motherland. It is the hometown of hot springs. There are 99 volcanoes and 88 hot springs. In addition to the spectacular volcanic wonders, there are also volcanic barrier lake wetlands, mysterious stone gambling legends, and the cultural internal strength of Chinese rural libraries. .
① travel "fever"
I went to Lianghe for a business trip with my colleagues. After looking at the route and the bus that lasted for dozens of hours, I was shivering. The price of air tickets in August was painful. Finally, I chose Tengchong as a transfer. When placing the order, the two looked at each other and reached a consensus: Now that they are all out, how about spending two days? Everyone in the work group applied for a two-day leave.
So, we gave up Kundali and took a plane to Tengchong.
②Physical "fever"
Just like the literal meaning, this "go and go" trip, in addition to the conventional unknown fresh experience, also suffered from the cold and rain in the first two days of the business trip, which was accompanied by a frenzied perception of 39°C until the day of the return trip I couldn't bear it any longer, so I got an infusion at the Tengchong Clinic, rushed to the airport, and was revived with full blood.
Therefore, such a cool Tengchong tour should be more interesting for me to describe.
③Itinerary "fever"
Soaking in hot springs under the scorching sun? See volcanic craters in a hot air balloon? Wetland cruise and water skiing?
Therefore, if you want to play an authentic Tengchong, just follow along.
[2] Heshun Ancient Town: There are a group of villagers who are not doing their jobs
Heshun Ancient Town was rated as "Charming China? Top Ten Famous Towns" in 2005. The recommendation at that time was expressed as follows: "Most people in Heshun Town are "doing nothing." Grazing grass on the mountain, but I went to the library to read."
Such a humorous expression is enough to feel Heshun's enthusiasm for studying, and I want to feel it seriously during this trip. Stepping into the ancient town, the first sight you see is the Heshun Library. The entire library is beautiful in shape and full of tourists. The first gate of the library is a typical Chinese-style ancient building with cornices. The plaque hanging on the gate reads "Heshun Books" Museum" was written by Zhang Li, a Juren in the late Qing Dynasty.
Walking in the library, the traces of the years have not polished the appearance of true knowledge. Heshun, an ancient town of more than 600 years, has been able to continue only by the infiltration and inheritance of culture. Whether it is Cunjia, Lijia, Yinjia or Liujia, It is this continuous spiritual internal force that makes this border town shine.
Heshun Ancient Town is located on a small plain between several volcanoes, surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Smooth stone roads, quaint and quiet old houses, clear streams, and quiet nights without street lights make people feel the tranquility and serenity of life, as well as the green rice outside the ancient city and the leisurely egrets in the rice fields are so beautiful. True, unlike Lijiang and Dali, the ancient town of Heshun is still inhabited by aborigines. When passing the old street, you can see old people chatting in the courtyard, women washing and washing vegetables in the laundry kiosk, and young people riding motorcycles through the long road. corridor.
Here, you can appreciate the verve of Huizhou architecture with white walls and black tiles, enjoy the beauty of small bridges and flowing water in the ancient towns of the south of the Yangtze River, and see architectural elements from the West and South Asia. The South Asian-style gate of the Cun's Ancestral Hall, the European-style windows of Ai Siqi's former residence, and the British iron art of the "Wanlouzi" dwelling are all perfectly integrated with the ancient Yunnan dwellings such as "four-in-five patios, three rooms and one screen wall".
Tips:
1. The library needs to check the ticket, and you can enter the library after purchasing the scenic spot ticket;
2. One-day tour of the ancient town: former residence of Ai Siqi - Longtan - Heshun Library - Wenchang Palace - ancestral hall - Wanlouzi;
3. Choose [Heshun Family] at the entrance of the ancient town for dining. The environment is clean, the dishes are authentic, and the fees are conscientious.
When the lights are on, watch a large-scale song and dance performance of "Dream Tengchong" in [Fantasy Tengchong Grand Theater]. There are five chapters of performances including Volcanic Atami, Ancient Road Caravan, Green Blood, Homeland and Ending, which vividly show the greatness of Tengda Land. Natural resources and human resources, of course, this is also the fastest way to understand the history, culture and life plot of Tengchong.
【3】Hot air balloons, soaking in hot springs, big rolling pot bait, I want them all
If Heshun Ancient Town is the quaint side of Tengchong, volcanoes and hot springs are the fiery attitude towards life.
Tengchong Volcanic National Geopark is the most concentrated, most spectacular and most typical young volcanic area in China. There are 99 volcanoes and the most dense volcanic group in the country. The main attractions are Dakong Mountain, Xiaokong Mountain and Columnar Joints.
It is worth mentioning that the scenic spot also provides hot air balloon and glider high-altitude viewing projects, where you can experience Xu Xiake's "Tengyue State, ten mountains and nine headless" written by Xu Xiake from the perspective of God.
Playfully ridiculed: "What the hell? I have been to many scenic spots over the years, and this is the first time I came here for the "pit"."
No problem, the volcanic scenic area is not difficult to find after you go to the sky. There are "volcanic craters" around. There are extinct volcanoes in the volcano park. There are two extinct volcanoes, Dakong Mountain and Xiaokong Mountain. The Dakong Mountain is relatively high and you need to climb more than 600 steps. It is quite tiring to go up the steps to get there. God's perspective told me that climbing up is really just looking at a pit.
Xiaokong Mountain is relatively easy, and there are better stone steps, anyway, just walk around when you come.
Atami Scenic Area is also wonderful. As the largest hot gas field in western Yunnan, it has highly concentrated high-temperature and high-pressure fountains, steam springs, boiling springs, etc., so Atami is famous among domestic hot spring tourism destinations!
Atami Stone, Big Rolling Pot, Yugu, Pregnancy Well, Pearl Spring, Toad Mouth, Beauty Pool, etc. are also important scenic spots in Atami. Among them, the most impressive one is the Big Rolling Pot. It is the "climax" of Atami Scenic Area, and every tourist who sees it is amazed and shocked by it.
Of course, steaming coarse grains with boiled eggs is more attractive to tourists than whether the hot air in a large boiling pot can beautify the skin. table feast.
This really surprised the friends of Yarn and Pass! The chef, using geothermal hot spring steam, gave us a whole table of dishes.
I was also curious and wanted to taste something new. My caring old friend booked this feast one day in advance. The food steamed from the hot spring under the volcano is amazing. There are about 10 dishes on this table, but the price is very affordable , per capita less than 50 yuan can be won.
Faced with this table of steamed delicacies, Mao Mao is naturally still a little worried: Is this cooked, can I eat it?
The staff must have seen Mao Ya's doubts, and explained very seriously:
"Rehai Hot Spring geothermal fumigation food is taken from the fertile land covered by Tengchong volcanic ash. The excellent natural environment and soil environment endow the ingredients with the purest and fullest taste. During the cooking process of high-temperature geothermal hot springs, the beneficial minerals, microorganisms and microwaves The effect has reached a unique and delicious taste close to the level of molecular cuisine, so you can enjoy it with confidence."
In addition to the steamed vegetables on the dinner table, the big rolling pot bait silk is also very impressive: "Big rolling pot" bait silk is different from rice noodles and noodles, and combines the tastes of the Central Plains, Southwest China and Tengchong's unique hometown of overseas Chinese with modern food fashion. The unique flavor of Tengchong is delicious. The soup in the "big rolling pot" is clear and fresh, light and not greasy, and it is paired with tempting and delicious seasonings. This guy is so fresh.
What needs to be added here is that after visiting the Atami Big Rolling Pot, I was naturally exhausted and had a fever, so Mao and his party chose to take a rest in the Hot Sea Scenic Area [Yugu].
As an old-fashioned hot spring experience scenic spot, the biggest highlight here is the pure natural sulfur hot spring, the water color is pure and clear, and you are already enjoying this "intimate care" just by entering the scenic spot. In addition, it also provides multiple functional pools. Such as Chinese medicinal materials, aloe vera, etc., considering the privacy and physical condition, we chose a private pool, that is, a private room. Good guys can experience the exclusive VIP service as soon as they enter the door. The huge pool, separate shower room, and private tea table The reclining chair is even equipped with a massage spa bed. During the bathing process, a three-piece set steamed by geothermal steam will be delivered: peanuts, eggs, potatoes, and papaya water are so delicious that you can refill two bottles. You think this is enough ? There is also a seasonal fruit plate, full of satisfaction.
Well, with my 39° body supported, as always, I don’t miss any exciting moments, and I feel better after soaking in the hot springs.
【四】The boat travels with blue waves and lotus flowers for ten miles, but I can't hold it
If you want to say that the most beautiful scenery in summer, the lotus must be well-deserved. The detached and free and easy "fish playing among the lotus leaves" is still in my mind, but in Tengchong, we can meet the grand occasion of "ten miles of lotus, clear water and long sky".
The lotus is beautiful, the beauty is shy, the blue skirt, the lotus noodles, drunk for the whole summer, if it is refreshing after a rain, eat two pieces of iced watermelon, and take a nap with a cattail fan beautifully, the word "leisure" Is it so wanton and carefree?
The requirements of the scenic spot are strict. It is enough to look at the whole lotus. If you want to play with it, you will be fined. If you have nothing to worry about, it is a good time in the world. Whisper, or sit and talk, or set up the camera, and wait for a wind to come.
Then go to the long-awaited Beihai Wetland, which is 11 kilometers away from the urban area of Tengchong. It is the only national wetland reserve in Yunnan Province. Its formation process is not easy:
Hundreds of millions of years ago, the magma flowing out from the surrounding volcanic eruption blocked the outlet of the groundwater and accumulated into a lake, and the volcanic ash fell on the lake. After years of deposition, grass seeds were brought in through different ways. These weeds continue to grow, and slowly form this large meadow floating on the lake.
These aquatic plants and grass rafts can not only absorb and decompose impurities in water and air, but also eliminate toxins and purify water quality for some toxic substances, and can regulate climate and maintain ecological balance. Therefore, wetlands are also called "kidneys of the earth" by scientists.
With the breeze, we boarded the cruise ship, the wild ducks roamed leisurely without fear, the wild water lilies bloomed one after another, and the clever egrets occasionally came to snap shots, swimming on the shore to see the scenery in the water, and the boat swimming in the water to see the shore The original plan was to walk in the wetlands and then paddle through the water in the grass row, but I felt a little "floating" as soon as I got off the boat, and I had no strength to walk two steps forward.
Seeing this, my colleagues had no choice but to help them all the way. The two looked disappointed at the tourists who were walking on the meadow in the water, stopped the landscape car and walked towards the exit. I still remember the laughter of the tourists at that moment.
On the way to the city, my colleague said that going to the hospital during this time period is queuing up and undergoing laboratory tests. I am a little worried that I may not be able to catch the evening plane. Let's go to the clinic first to avoid delay. The citizens of Tengchong also pointed out the way, and after finishing the situation to the doctor weakly, they took out the thermometer, good guy! 39°, the doctor asked about how many days it had been burning, and I said it was only 4 days, "It's ok, young man, didn't you get confused after burning for a few days? It seems that you are still young, so hurry up and hang some water to cool down and reduce inflammation."
The two and a half hours of hanging the water are omitted here. When I woke up in bed, I really felt relieved a lot. My colleague shook his head helplessly, "That grass row is really fun, I blame you, pack it up and go to the airport? "
what can i do I was also very desperate. I dragged my suitcase, but had dinner at Gaoligong Mountain, which is 5 minutes away from the airport. It took 30 minutes to check in at the airport after taking off from the airport. My heart is really big enough.
On the return flight, I slept soundly, didn’t eat dilute bean flour, and didn’t enjoy the hot springs, but in my dream, I posed for pictures in Ginkgo Village, and I brought many friends along with me. The journey is basically like this: only regrets It's perfect, otherwise how can we look forward to the next time, don't you think?
【Wu】Practical strategy
1. Itinerary
Day1: Kunming fly to Tengchong Heshun Ancient Town → Impression Tengchong Su Heshun Ancient Town
Day 2: Volcanic Geological Park → Hot Sea Scenic Spot Hot Spring Hotel
Day 3: Ten Mile Lotus → Beihai Wetland → Gaoligong Mountain → Tengchong Airport → Kunming
2. Traffic overview
Tengchong’s airport is Tengchong Tuofeng Airport, which is 10 kilometers away from the urban area of Tengchong; in addition to planes, there are also buses to Tengchong, which can generally be taken in Dali and Lijiang.
The Beihai wetland is 12 kilometers away from the urban area of Tengchong, and the hot sea area is 12.5 kilometers away from the urban area of Tengchong. However, the two scenic spots are reversed. The Volcanic Geopark is 25 kilometers away from the urban area. It is recommended to travel by car or free travel in Tengchong. It is convenient to plan the route in advance That's it.
3. Accommodation recommendation
Stay in Heshun Ancient Town [Want to Live Heshun Meisu Flagship Store], the entire hotel has a simple and comfortable style, and the bedding is skin-friendly. The lobby on the first floor is still a bookworm cafe. Pick a book and order a cup of coffee. It is a kind of enjoyment in the twilight of dawn or dusk in the ancient town.
Out of traffic considerations, I chose [Tengchong Atami Hot Spring Resort Hotel? One pool, one household, one family, 20 sets of luxury hot spring villas scattered under the green hills along with the mountains, you can enjoy the pure natural hot springs of Atami privately without leaving home, and the 24-hour butler service allows you to enjoy the hot spring vacation without worry.
If there is a disadvantage, it is expensive, hahaha. Later, I saw friends recommending [Beauty Pool Hotel], which is more cost-effective.
【Lu】postscript
Even I know that this trip to Tengchong is too casual and hasty.
I had to turn around and leave before I felt it well. In addition, my body was ill, and I was in the state of Buddhist cultivation every day.
But, after saying goodbye, when the ground is covered with golden ginkgo, can we make another appointment in Tengchong?
Wavy hair, an interesting Pu'er son-in-law who can't drink, and a new Pisces dad who likes to sprinkle dog food.
