Of course, you have to choose a romantic place in the romantic season, and Tengchong, Yunnan is such a paradise.
In the Tengchong Volcanic Geological Park, take a hot air balloon to fly in the sky
Riding in a hot air balloon is really fantastic!
As the hot air balloon rises slowly, the things in front of you become smaller and smaller, and different perspectives bring different feelings.
Tengchong for a lifetime is really too romantic!
Tengchong Volcanic Geological Park takes a hot air balloon to see the volcanic landforms of hundreds of millions of years, and you can see the panoramic view of Dakong and Xiaokong Mountains, which is very shocking!
The 97 volcanic bodies in Tengchong Volcano Park are one of the four largest volcanic groups in China. It is really exciting to take a hot air balloon to explore the volcanic landforms!
As the hot air balloon rises slowly, in the blue sky, you can have a panoramic view of the Gaoligong Mountains. I really love this drone view!
Different places bring different experiences, come to Tengchong to play, don't miss the hot air balloon ride.
?The hot air balloon has a lot to do with the weather. It is easy to take off in the morning when the wind is light. If you go late, there will be too many people. It is best to arrive at the Volcano Park before 8:30!
Ginkgo Village, slowly listen to the sound of ginkgo leaves falling
In Tengchong in the golden autumn, another more interesting place is Ginkgo Village. The village is surrounded by many ginkgo trees, and the color is golden everywhere.
Tengchong Ginkgo Village, which is only beautiful for 20 days a year, must not be missed in November!
Tengchong Ginkgo Village, also known as Gudong Ginkgo Village, has more than 3,000 ancient ginkgo trees distributed throughout the village. This may be the largest, most concentrated and oldest ginkgo forest found in Yunnan so far.
In China, if you want to see the golden world composed of ginkgo trees, Ginkgo Village is definitely the first choice for most people!
It is located in Jiangdong Village, Gudong Town, Tengchong City, Yunnan Province.
The feeling here is that the whole city is full of golden armor, the golden ginkgo leaves in the roadside yard are sprinkled on the roof and on the ground, and the whole village is a fairy tale world in golden yellow.
Many ancient ginkgo trees are much older than this village. The golden mountains and plains make this fairy tale kingdom a tourist hotspot.
The lanes in Ginkgo Village are complicated, and the houses and the large ginkgo forest complement each other, and the place as far as the eye can see is golden. After a few days, the leaves will grow more, covering the whole earth with a golden carpet.
The light and shadow are mottled, and time seems to freeze in this place. You can smell the breath of autumn here and feel the beauty of autumn brought by Tengchong.

Tengchong hides a quiet mountain city Heshun ancient town
Stone roads, green tile houses, this is a wonderful small mountain town! The noisy tricycles buying ingredients in the early morning, the sunshine in the afternoon, the children who come out of school after school~
The cultural heritage of the entire ancient town is well preserved. Historic buildings are scattered everywhere, and the small bridges and lotuses in the rice fields are like a landscape painting. Many local people still live in the ancient town, and the newly left youth and the older generation of Heshun people blend with each other. There are not many tourists, so walking around to capture various humanities is especially artistic.
Heshun is by no means a plateau mountain, but a Jiangnan one of "little bridges and flowing water". Just as Mr. Li Gengen from Tengchong said in his poem: "The distant mountains are vast, the rivers near the water are melodious, and under the hills of thousands of homes, it is absolutely better than the small Suzhou and Hangzhou"...
There is really an illusion of a Jiangnan water town here, with small bridges and flowing water. There are Huizhou-style buildings, European-style buildings, and Chinese and Western-style buildings, which are dazzling and dizzying.
Generation after generation, the gentle men went out to fight and cultivated a large number of wealthy merchants such as the Jade King, the Cotton Yarn King, and the Rice King. With the wealth accumulated from hard work outside, we have left exquisite ancestral hall archways, libraries, and laundry kiosks for our hometown.
In Heshun, the history and culture of Tengchong can be seen everywhere. Heshun Ancient Town is an ancient town that was first built in the Ming Dynasty. Most of the local Han people are descendants of Sichuanese, Jiangnan people, and Central Plains people who came to Yunnan in the early Ming Dynasty to engage in military and civilian settlements.
Tengchong, as a hub of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, was born the first charming town in China facing South Asia "Heshun Ancient Town", where various cultures collide and exchange.
The arched windows, gilded iron floor window partitions, and Western Gothic architectural style elements are one of the few ancient towns in China that have a combination of Chinese and Western characteristics.
Tengchong gourmet food, eat and drink in Jinshui Pavilion
Jinshui Pavilion is located on the outskirts of Tengchong. It is entirely made of wood. Most of the raw materials are waste from the demolition of old houses in Tengchong. Every section has a very historical significance.
The upper and lower floors of the bamboo building inside the restaurant are divided into private rooms and aisle tables. The restaurant has a rich variety of dishes, many of which are not spicy at all, suitable for tourists from all over the country. The presentation of some dishes is very distinctive, and some dishes are full of local flavors, which are super delicious!
Every dish is amazing and special. Friends who have never eaten Tengchong dishes, please remember to eat Tengchong’s delicacies. I will not reveal the taste and secrets of the dishes here. You need to explore them yourself!
Simola Wa village, original minority culture
Wa people, they are mainly distributed in China and Myanmar, and "Smola" means "happy place" in the Wa language. With blue sky and white clouds and a simple small village, everything here is very simple and happy.
Various paintings on the wall reflect the joy of harvest, and the ancient Wa people still live the most primitive life.
There is another name here. It is called "Zhongzhai". With hundreds of years of history, a lot of culture and inheritance have been preserved.
The ancestors of the Simola Wa village were originally a small branch of the nomadic people who lived in no fixed place. More than 500 years ago, under the leadership of the patriarch, they came to this hillside in the southeast of Tengchong. They found that the climate here is mild and the land is fertile. Settled down and called the place Smola.
As time goes by, the people of this land become happier. There are nearly 300 villagers in more than 70 households in the village. Most of the dwellings in Zhongzhai are enclosed buildings with yellow earth bricks and blue earth tiles. Many dwellings also cleverly integrate natural elements such as trees and stones on the foundation, completely integrating with nature.
Wa villagers worship trees, springs, and cattle. The three worships are inherited and integrated into one. Far away from the city and the traffic, the people here still live a happier life, and this happiness has been spreading in this land.
Tengchong magical North Sea wetland
The Beihai Wetland is the only plateau volcanic barrier lake in Southwest my country. The magma flowed out by the surrounding volcanoes hundreds of millions of years ago blocked the outlet of groundwater and accumulated into a lake, which accumulated over the years to form today's plateau wetland.
Today's Beihai wetland is full of birds and flowers. A breath of spring. Drinking a cup of afternoon tea here with the warm wind blowing is a pleasant thing in life.
There are large grass mats floating on the water, like colorful giant tapestry. The excellent natural environment makes the species living here very diverse and complex, and rare species can be seen everywhere.
After tens of millions of years of continuous growth, the meadows with a thickness of about one meter are formed. They are like small islands in the lake. Walking on them feels like stepping on sponges, which is very magical!
So it’s not surprising that you can support a grass boat here. You can roam the wetlands on a bamboo raft made of grass, which is full of experience.
In 1639, Xu Xiake described Tengchong Beihai Wetland in his "Diary of Western Dian" in this way: "Haizi can be as large as a thousand acres, and the middle is full of grasses and green, and the bottom is like grass floating knots, and there are also streams to irrigate the land. Can't get up."
Teng Yao can also cook?
Tengchong is rich in Chinese herbal medicines and is known as the "Natural Botanical Garden". As early as the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Teng Yao was famous for its remarkable curative effect; since the Republic of China, Teng Yao has been famous all over the world for its various Chinese patent medicine preparations.
Medicine supplements are not as good as food supplements. All the recipes of medicine meals in Teng Yao Ban Herbal Cuisine Restaurant are prepared by authoritative Chinese herbalists, and the selected medicines are genuinely selected.
Medicinal cinnamon fish, big tonic mutton soup, and chicken stewed with Amomum kernels, each dish is delicious. Come to Tengchong, don’t miss the Teng Yao Banquet!
