Ginkgo Village
First, I went to Ginkgo Village, which is located in Gudong Town, Tengchong, about 40 kilometers away from Tengchong County. Before and after the house, people in the village gradually began to plant, until now the whole village is covered with ginkgo trees, in front of the house, behind the house, in the yard, beside the well... Ginkgo trees are everywhere in ancient times, and the small farmyards in Ginkgo Village have been Surrounded by more than 3,000 ginkgo trees, it has another name - Ginkgo Village.

oil paper umbrella
The umbrella surface of the oil-paper umbrella in Xingyang Village is made of rice paper produced in Jietou, Tengchong. The raw material of the rice paper here is a kind of local bark, which is very flexible. The oil on the umbrella surface used to be passed through locally. A kind of edible oil produced by slash-and-burn farming is now banned in such a primitive way, and this oil can only be bought from Myanmar now. The oil-paper umbrella here is not a decorative tool, but the main rain-shielding tool for the local people in the past.
Reason for recommendation: Many people's first knowledge of oil-paper umbrellas is mostly from "Rain Lane" included in high school Chinese textbooks. The oil-paper umbrellas in Dai Wangshu's works seem to be the same as Lilac Girl, with a temperament of resentment, melancholy and confusion. So much so that in today's film and television and photography works, most of the water villages, alleys, and slender girls in cheongsams appear accompanied by oil-paper umbrellas. Oil-paper umbrellas have become a romantic and artistic label.
The history of making oil-paper umbrellas in Xingyang Village can be traced back to the 61st year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. In the past 300 years, the umbrella-making technology has been passed down for more than ten generations.

Parent-child travel recommends Xindian experience.
Bowl clay pottery
Then I went to Sanlian Village to visit the bowl kiln earthen pottery. The pottery is made of mud (clay) and dried. The earth and stones are moved to build a kiln, fired with firewood, and cooled. In the long accumulation of primitive life, our ancestors found that the dried mud became hardened, hard and waterproof after being burned, so pottery came into being. I have always been fascinated by various containers, and I once imagined that one day I could learn this craft. Even if I am not good at learning, at least I enjoy the fact that a container can be shaped little by little in my own hands and become a practical item in daily life. The sense of accomplishment of the product.
Reason for recommendation: According to the county annals: "The production of pottery is mainly concentrated in the bowl kiln in Mazhan District, which has a history of firing clay pottery for more than 500 years." According to the data, the craftsmanship of bowl kiln pottery was introduced from the Central Plains during the Ming Dynasty . Under the guidance of a technician, let's make your own clay pottery.

Yunfeng Mountain
After that, I went to Yunfeng Mountain, which was like a fairyland. When I climbed to the top of the mountain, I saw the clouds and mists under my feet, which was majestic.
Xu Xiake, a famous traveler in the Ming Dynasty, passed by and praised Yunfeng Mountain as "like the Canglong Ridge of Taihua". The steepness of Yunfeng Mountain is obvious to all. The most famous is the three-fold cloud ladder that makes everyone scream in unison. More than 2,700 steps are all carved out of the cliff with an axe. Do you think this is enough thrilling? There are even more exciting things - 43 nearly vertical stone ladders are suspended in the mountains, and each step is only as wide as the sole of the foot, with abysses on both sides. Back then, Xu Xiake said that there are "thousands of apes singing in harmony", but of course there are no apes now, probably because they were scared away by the screams of tourists one after another.
Recommended reason: Tengchong is the most spiritual fairy mountain, with high mountains and deep valleys, steep and precipitous, surrounded by fairy spirit. Known as "Heaven's workmanship and manpower give full play to their abilities", it enjoys the laudatory titles of "Emperor of the Sky" and "Fairy Capital of the Sky". The "three-fold cloud ladder" between the cliffs in the mountains is known as the first of the twelve sceneries in Tengchong.

Dream Tengchong
In the evening, I watched the Dream Tengchong, a large-scale stage performance. The story is divided into several chapters, so I won’t give you any spoilers. It is commendable that the stage art and choreography are really artistic.
Dream Tengchong is divided into five chapters, volcanoes, caravans, anti-Japanese war, stone gambling in ancient towns, and the future of Tengchong, which perfectly shows the historical civilization of Tengchong. The lighting and choreography are well done. In the caravan chapter, the actors lead real ponies. In the ancient town chapter, the actors drive a group of white geese past. The two chapters of the caravan and the Anti-Japanese War make people cry. It is worth watching!

The sky here is blue and clear, the air here is so clean that you can wash your lungs, and the people here are innocent, romantic, kind and kind.
