Do you know? In Baoshan, Yunnan, there is not only a 'sea', but also a 'Qinghua', of course, this Qinghua is not that Tsinghua. She is the Qinghua Sea National Wetland Park where the sky and water blend together and enjoy the forest breath, the city's green lung of Baoshan! Qinghua Sea is a gathering place for migratory birds and a paradise for bird photography enthusiasts. Here, it is spring all year round, and everything is thriving; under the cover of mountains and rivers, the flying geese on the lake and the pavilions in the lake are picturesque, outlining a beautiful landscape painting. Walking into here, people can't help but put down the worldly troubles, let everything go, and breathe freely. Walking casually along the lake, the blue sky and white clouds are reflected on the water, there are birds nesting; there are water fir trees overflowing and emitting the beauty of autumn. The Water Lotus Pavilion and Yongchang Pavilion are on the other side of the water, and the beautiful scenery of 'fishing village evening fishing' has traveled through time and appeared in front of us. Coming here from the north in winter, Baoshan, where it is spring all year round, makes seasons and time a false proposition.

Baoshan coffee has long been well known, and this time I finally had the chance to visit a local coffee factory. There is a large coffee-tasting area that also offers afternoon tea options, including coffee beans, drip coffee bags, and on-site tastings. The aromas of the different coffees vary slightly from one to another. After enjoying the coffee, you can stroll around the garden behind the factory, see coffee beans waiting to be harvested, learn how the coffee trees are cultivated, and visit a small coffee museum area to learn about harvesting techniques. #chinaadventures #yunnan

Yunnan, the land of colorful clouds, is not only a place of geographical migration, but also a journey through history and a fusion of ethnic groups. First Impressions of Kunming: History and Vibrant Life Arriving in Kunming from Shanghai, the city's atmosphere immediately enveloped me upon exiting the airport. After checking into a hotel in Kunming's Old Street, I began exploring the city. Kunming's Old Street holds the memories of time; traditional buildings are arranged in a charming, staggered pattern along the cobblestone streets. The aroma of rice wafting from the street shops tempted me to try a bowl of thick, flavorful rice noodles—the broth was delicious and instantly relieved the fatigue of my journey. The next morning, I visited Dounan Flower Market. This is Asia's largest cut flower market, a riot of colors and intoxicating fragrance. Flower farmers busily tended to their various blooms, roses, lilies, and carnations vying for attention. In the afternoon, I walked to the former site of the Southwest Associated University, looking at photos of Lin Huiyin, Wen Yiduo, Feng Youlan, Deng Jiaxian, and other pioneers in their youth, as if transported back to that era of burning ideals. Next, I visited the Yunnan Military Academy, a historically significant building with yellow walls, where many famous figures, including General Cai E, studied. The academy connects to Cuihu Lake, where red-billed gulls soar and dance. From November to March each year, these gulls from Siberia inhabit the area, creating a beautiful scene in Kunming. After visiting the Kunming Liberation Museum on Huanggong East Street, I proceeded to the Confucian Temple. Only the gate archway remains original; the rest is newly built. Then came Kunming's famous Wine Cup Building—two symmetrical buildings with beautiful lines, a popular spot for tourists to take photos. A monument to heroes stands between the two buildings, and in the square opposite, residents dressed in Tibetan costumes danced gracefully, led by professional dancers. In the city center square, there were also Peking Opera performances and group square dancing, which people enjoyed or joined in, creating a joyful and peaceful atmosphere. My Trip to Western Yunnan: From Baoshan to Mangshi After spending two nights in Kunming, I took a high-speed train to Baoshan. I arrived in Baoshan after more than four hours. To make my trip easier the next day, I checked into a hotel near the bus station. That evening, I took a walk in Qinghuahai National Wetland Park; the prices were reasonable, and the locals were kind and honest. The next morning, I took a bus to Mangshi. The bus wound its way along mountain roads, and after crossing a large mountain, the scenery suddenly opened up – Mangshi had arrived. It's the capital of Dehong Prefecture, and the rich Dai ethnic culture and subtropical climate instantly transported me to another world. I stayed near Mangshi Square, making most of my itinerary walkable. I only used a ride-hailing service to visit the Meng Huan Golden Pagoda and the Meng Huan Silver Pagoda. On the day I arrived in Mangshi, I walked from the Tree-Wrapped Pagoda to the Dai Ancient Town, passing Bodhi Street and Bodhi Temple. That evening, several ethnic dances were performed simultaneously in Mangshi Square. The spectacular dance formations of the Jingpo people and the graceful movements of the Dai people intertwined to create a colorful ethnic tapestry. I even rode the Ferris wheel alone, and the operator even started a ride just for me – a memorable moment in my journey. On my second day in Mangshi, I made a point of trying the breakfast at Lanlu. This shop only operates in the morning and closes in the afternoon, but it's incredibly popular; many people drive or take taxis specifically to get there. The taste truly lives up to its reputation. Meng Huan Golden Pagoda is China's first golden pagoda and Asia's first hollow pagoda. Legend has it that Shakyamuni Buddha lived here when he was reincarnated as the golden rooster Aluan. Meng Huan Silver Pagoda, on the other hand, is pure white, with its spire hand-carved from Dai silver. The gold and silver pagodas complement each other beautifully, exuding both grandeur and elegance. The Silver Pagoda is a fantastic spot for photos, and you can also watch a beautiful sunset from there. Many people say that one day in Mangshi is enough, but I'm glad I stayed two nights. After experiencing the Burmese-style hair washing recommended online, which I found unremarkable, I went to the Dehong Prefecture Museum. The museum showcases in detail the clothing and lifestyles of the Lisu, Jingpo, and Dai ethnic minorities, which was much richer and more interesting than I had expected. Border Charm: Ruili – A Village Between Two Countries Leaving Mangshi, I traveled by car to Ruili. The weather here was much warmer, a true subtropical climate. Ruili is a unique border town, home to the busiest Ruili Port, through which many Burmese people pass daily. Ruili's public transportation system is inconvenient, but taxis are cheap. I shared a car with two other tourists (60 yuan each) to visit the Jiegao Port and Ruili Old Town. However, I later realized that traveling independently would have offered more freedom and time management. The "One Village Between Two Countries" was a highlight of my Ruili trip. This village, located next to Boundary Marker No. 71 on the China-Myanmar border, is divided in two by bamboo fences, village roads, ditches, and earthen embankments. Through the green fence, Burmese women and children sold cigarettes to Chinese tourists. The red-brick castle-like buildings in the village are painted with Buddhist stories, and the jade bridge spanning the two countries is inlaid with 7,777 pieces of jade, creating a unique exotic atmosphere. Bianzhai Hansha is still inhabited by local residents, and the bamboo houses in the village are quite distinctive. In the evening, I stayed in downtown Ruili, where prices were even lower. Heading to the Ruili River, I saw Myanmar across the water, separated only by a barbed wire fence. At 7:30 pm, the music of Jingpo ethnic dances filled the riverside square, once again bringing a rich tapestry of ethnic culture. The Border Town: Tengchong's Hot Springs and Ancient Towns Having heard that Tengchong has many attractions, I specifically planned a five-day, four-night trip. The first day I stayed in Heshun Ancient Town. This ancient town, with over 600 years of history, is dotted with ancient buildings. Xu Xiake called it "the first city on the border," and National Geographic called it "a must-visit ancient town in one's lifetime." However, Heshun Ancient Town closes at 9 pm, and because of the entrance fee, ride-hailing services can only go to the visitor center. The town's slopes are steep, making walking difficult, so on the second day I moved to the city center and chose a hot spring hotel. Tengchong has abundant hot spring resources; the water is soft and silky, rich in minerals and trace elements. On the third day, I took a ride-hailing service to Simola Wa Village. "Simola" means "a happy place" in the Wa language. The Wa people consider cattle a symbol of good fortune, and countless cattle skulls hang from ancient trees, creating a sacred and solemn atmosphere. Afterwards, I went to the Rehai Scenic Area, where I was immediately enveloped in steaming mist upon entering. The journey involved climbing the mountain, passing several hot spring groups, and finally reaching the "Big Boiling Pot" at the summit, where the water temperature reached a scorching 96 degrees Celsius. In the afternoon, I went to Qiluo Ancient Town. It was midday, and the market was almost over. After visiting the Caravan Courtyard, I made a special trip back to Qiluo Ancient Town on the fourth morning to browse the morning market and buy some handmade soaps and jewelry. There's a local fruit called "Constipation Fruit," which is said to be very effective for digestive problems. Tengchong's Dongshan Hot Spring is a natural oxygen bar, primarily featuring forest hot springs. It has 16 indoor pools and 27 outdoor pools, with water temperatures ranging from 42 to 45 degrees Celsius. Soaking in the hot springs after a tiring journey provided immense relaxation for both body and mind. The city's night markets were incredibly vibrant, and I enjoyed delicious beef rice noodles. Yunnan's culinary delights are truly abundant, making it a place I long to return to. Travel Reflections This trip to western Yunnan allowed me to experience the diverse ethnic cultures and natural scenery of the province. From the historical weight of Kunming to the Dai ethnic charm of Mangshi, from the borderland character of Ruili to the hot spring towns of Tengchong, each city possessed its own unique allure. Yunnan's coolness is not only a gift of climate but also a flavorful blend of mountains, rivers, and culture—the Zen-like tranquility in the wind chimes of the Golden and Silver Pagodas, the solemnity among the pines and cypresses of the National Cemetery, the elegance in the lotus breeze of ancient towns. If I have the opportunity to visit Yunnan again, I will definitely slow down and experience this magical land more deeply. Because every city, every street, and every person here tells a different story, waiting for travelers to discover and feel it.

Stayed in the right place on the first day in Baoshan Baoshan is a city our whole family really likes, and we also loved the homestay we stayed at this time. As soon as we entered, the room looked very exquisite, and the decor clearly showed a strong sense of design. The room isn’t super big, but it has everything you need: a small kitchen, a small balcony, a small sofa, and even a projector, perfect for our whole family trip~ You can check in contactlessly and self-service, which is very convenient, and there’s parking right downstairs. Right next to it is the Wuzhou International Plaza shopping area, where we also took the kids to play for a long time. This time in Baoshan, we definitely want to explore more and have more fun~

Before coming to Tengchong, I honestly looked down on this established five-star hotel, which opened in 2005. I always thought old hotels meant outdated facilities. If it weren't for my friend's fervent recommendation, I wouldn't have booked it at all! But checking in completely changed my mind! They really nailed the details! 🤌 Despite being a 20-year-old establishment, their incredibly attentive service and maintenance easily outshone a bunch of trendy new hotels! 💁‍♀️ The service was so heartwarming! I received a call from the hotel before check-in, thoughtfully inquiring about my arrival time and any special needs. My positive impression was immediately off the charts! After check-in, a shuttle bus picked us up right at the door. The rooms are Southeast Asian-style detached villas without an elevator. The staff immediately helped us carry our luggage up to the second floor without a word. We didn't have to lift a finger! The guest rooms also offer a bedtime service; warm milk and cookies are delivered to your room every night. A glass before bed – pure bliss! 🏡 Stay in a Southeast Asian-style poolside suite! For just over a thousand yuan, you can stay in a poolside VIP suite – the value is simply divine! The room is unbelievably spacious!! I've never seen such a spacious walk-in bathtub before, complete with a foot bath tub and herbal bath packs. A relaxing soak leaves you feeling completely refreshed. The private terrace offers an amazing view. Open the window and you're greeted by lush tropical greenery, birdsong, and the fragrance of flowers. Privacy is guaranteed! The most delightful surprise is the massage bed in the room. My best friend and I massaged each other's shoulders and necks – the fatigue of our journey instantly disappeared! The bathroom details are even more amazing: the vanity mirror has a built-in fill light, the vanity light has an anti-fog function, and the hot and cold water faucet is incredibly sensitive – they really understand women! 🌿 The joy of being surrounded by tropical gardens is indescribable! The hotel's landscaping is superb, with tall tropical plants everywhere. Taking a stroll or jog along the pool and hot springs in the morning, listening to birdsong and smelling the flowers, feels incredibly soothing. The outdoor hot spring pools are divided into small, medium, and large sizes, with temperatures ranging from high to low – very thoughtful! Importantly, the water is changed every night and refilled the next morning – the cleanliness is visibly impressive! Indoor and outdoor swimming pools, dry and wet saunas, and a gym are all available, so you won't be bored even after a whole day at the hotel. Breakfast is a buffet with a huge variety of choices. You absolutely must try the Tengchong rice noodles and rice noodle soup – they're unique and delicious! This hotel truly lets its attention to detail and service speak for itself. In a market where inferior products drive out superior ones, finding such a dedicated and long-established hotel is truly rare!

Because of the annual Tengchong Scientist Forum (TSF) and the resumption of direct flights from Shenzhen to Tengchong, we took advantage of the kids' Christmas break to quickly come back and stay in a small courtyard in Tengchong for a few days. Having been to many places in Yunnan, Tengchong is definitely a land of good fortune and a completely underrated city for living and traveling. It is under the jurisdiction of Baoshan City, Yunnan, located on the China-Myanmar border, famous for its volcanic geothermal features (99 volcanoes, 88 hot springs), Heshun Overseas Chinese Town, jade culture, and wartime history, with a pleasant climate all year round. This season is probably the coldest time in Tengchong, with a large temperature difference between morning and night. At night, the lowest temperature is around 3 or 4 degrees Celsius, a dry cold that is not uncomfortable if you wear a bit more outdoors. Daytime temperatures are around 15 to 16 degrees Celsius, with bright sunshine. Wearing a warm sweater and basking in the sun in the courtyard is really comfortable! Currently, Kunming Airlines operates one direct flight daily between Tengchong and Shenzhen, with a flight time of about 2 hours and 40 minutes. Flight information (subject to actual day): • Tengchong → Shenzhen KY8315: Tengchong Tuofeng (TCZ) departs at 10:05, Shenzhen Bao'an (SZX) arrives at 12:25 • Shenzhen → Tengchong KY8316: Shenzhen Bao'an (SZX) departs at 13:40, Tengchong Tuofeng (TCZ) arrives at 16:25

The true meaning of hiking is not always about conquering the most rugged mountains or encountering the most stunning scenery. Sometimes, it is more like a calm coexistence with the mountain, with people, and with oneself. I chose a 5-kilometer easy hiking route in Gaoligong Mountain, guided by a 54-year-old woman from a village at the foot of the mountain. Her eyebrows and eyes were relaxed, her steps light. When she spoke about the mountain’s plants, birdsong, and legends, she was gentle and confident, as if she were a part of the mountain itself. Following her, my pace naturally slowed down. In the mountains and fields of December, the oxygen is abundant and the air is crisp. There are no blooming flowers, no ripe fruits, and the waterfall is silent. But this just perfects another kind of scenery—the forest sheds its splendid attire, revealing its true, rough yet peaceful skeleton. If you expect a visual feast, you might find it plain. But if you are willing to listen quietly, you can hear the whispers of the wind through the primeval forest and see the slow-moving light spots of sunlight on the moss. This is not a route for “stunning photos,” but a path that “walks into the heart.” 🌲 The wilderness kitchen is the warmest ending to the hike At the end of the walk, a steaming “wilderness kitchen” awaits. The grilled ribs sizzle, vegetables roll in clear soup, and simple food tastes especially delicious with the mountain wilderness atmosphere. Soaking your feet in hot spring water after the meal instantly soothes your fatigue. That moment of satisfaction surpasses a thousand landscapes. If you want to come too, you might try another richer “Mao Mao Qiu” route. But for me, this plain little path and the kind guide are enough to make me remember Gaoligong—not with my eyes, but with my footsteps and breath. 📌 Hiking notes ▫️ Low difficulty route, suitable for beginners or those who want a relaxed stroll ▫️ Friendly guide, knowledge comes from generations living here ▫️ December is the dry season, the scenery is simple, it is recommended to lower expectations for “spectacular” views ▫️ The wilderness dining experience is warm and a highlight of the trip What the mountain teaches people may never be “what to see,” but “how to see.”

In the second photo, a group of children happened to take a commemorative photo together. The Hall of Celebrities is built against the mountain and blends harmoniously with the park’s ancient trees, solemn and elegant, presenting a beautiful interplay of culture and nature. Directly in front of the stone carving stands a tall, dignified double-eaved pavilion. On the plaque hangs the striking blue-background gold-lettered inscription “Baoshan Hall of Historical Celebrities,” written with vigorous brushstrokes. On the side is a couplet in Chinese red: “People rise to eternal prosperity as teachers, generals, and ministers; their names are recorded in history, whether by achievements, virtues, or writings.” A square piece of Dali bluestone is embedded at a 45-degree angle in front of the steps, inscribed: Baoshan has long been a key military and political center for the central government’s southwest frontier management and an international transportation hub. Throughout history, many outstanding thinkers, politicians, military strategists, writers, and educators have emerged here... After reading, one cannot help but feel deeply moved—proud of Baoshan’s long cultural history and saddened by its arduous development journey, while a heavy sense of responsibility and commitment rises in the heart. Photo 6 shows the Jinshi Corridor and the Modern and Contemporary Officials Corridor running east-west in the Hall of Celebrities, briefly commemorating their achievements with simple brushstrokes. This serves as a silent encouragement and reminder to future generations. Holding office means benefiting the region. Officials govern for the people and the country, not seeking fame carved in stone, but hoping to be remembered in the hearts of the common people.

Nearby, you can also participate in Gaoligong Mountain hiking, rainforest creek tracing, bird watching, and other activities. It's especially suitable for friends who love nature and coffee culture.
