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.

I stayed at Baoshan Coffee Manor and had coffee that healed me for life.
I stayed at Baoshan Coffee Manor and had coffee that healed me for life. Stay here if you're near the hotel coffee manor! The mountain view is so beautiful.
When you open your eyes, you're in a fairyland surrounded by clouds and mist. The clouds roll, gather, and dissipate with the sunlight. It's so powerful.
I thought about it for a week after I got home and still couldn't get over it. The hotel offers free hand-brewed coffee~

Travel | Baoshan | Vacation at a coffee estate.
| Baoshan | Vacation at a coffee estate. Last year, I wanted to stop by Baoshan for a day on my way to Tengchong, but I didn't have time. This year, I wanted to spend a few days in a small city, so I chose Baoshan and booked a stay at the Biton Coffee Estate in Lijiangba.
On the first day, we stayed in Baoshan City so we could explore the next day.
Jiayue Lanting Hotel
I had a great experience at this hotel! It was less than CNY 200 per night, and the hotel environment was great. Each floor has a public space with a different theme (similar to the student apartments I lived in when I studied abroad).
The location is a bit remote, but it's not far from the city center (though there's not much to see in the city center).
Biton Coffee Estate
The main purpose of this trip was to stay at the Biton Coffee Estate. I wanted to stay there last year, but I had to cancel my reservation.
The estate is located in Lijiangba, which is a bit far from Baoshan. It's not very convenient if you don't have a car, but it's no problem if you do.
Since I was traveling with my family, I booked two rooms. One was the "Geisha" room, which I loved! It has a private courtyard where you can sit and drink coffee during the day. The other was the "Tashin King Room," which I also loved! It has balconies in the front and back, one large and one small, which is perfect for a vacation! There are also many plants around, which gives it a Southeast Asian feel. The temperature in Lijiangba is relatively high, so it's not cold in winter. I could even wear a short skirt.
There isn't much to do in Baoshan. On the second morning, we went to Wofosi Temple to see the "sunflower seed-eating fish," but they weren't eating sunflower seeds that day. Maybe they were too full.
At noon, we went to Qinglong Street (Banqiao Ancient Town), but there wasn't much to see. We just walked around.
Menghe Town
This is also in Lijiangba. The Menghe Hotel is nice, and it's a resort area. However, if you're not staying there, there's no need to visit. If you are staying there, you can enjoy the resort atmosphere (if you're not staying there but want to visit, you can go after 6:00 pm for free).
Food
I recommend a snack shop called Mian Cang Tea House. The faluda and Thai fried rice are delicious.
Transportation
I recommend driving. It's a bit inconvenient if you don't have a car, so I suggest renting one if you're coming from out of town.

Nujiang Coffee Industrial Park - The Coffee Kingdom in the Grand Canyon
On May 13, we set off from Tengchong, crossed the Gaoligong Mountains, and returned to the Lijiangba Service Area in the Nujiang Grand Canyon. Five days earlier, on May 9, we had traveled from Dali to Baoshan via this route. After circling around western Yunnan, we returned here, and this time, we exited the highway from the service area, preparing to head north along Provincial Highway 230 to the capital of Nujiang Prefecture - Lushui.
After exiting the highway, we entered the Nujiang Grand Canyon. This typical dry-hot valley has a hot and dry climate at the bottom. The land on both sides of the road is dusty due to drought, but the vegetation is still lush, especially the blooming phoenix flowers, which greet us with their brilliant orange-red clusters from time to time.
This dry-hot valley climate may be tough for general crops, but it is naturally suitable for the growth of an economic crop, coffee, which originates from West Africa. As one of the world's three major beverages, coffee has a long history and is loved by humanity. Historically, due to Yunnan's proximity to French Indochina, French coffee culture spread northward with the construction of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, reaching deep into Yunnan, making this southwestern frontier also develop a fondness for coffee.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, to expand and promote coffee cultivation and reduce imports, the best planting base was found in the dry-hot valleys of western Yunnan. After years of effort, the world's largest small-grain coffee planting and production base was formed in the Nujiang Grand Canyon. Along both sides of the Grand Canyon are vast coffee industrial parks, and the famous Yunnan coffee has opened up markets nationwide and even worldwide.
On our way from Lijiangba to Lushui, we passed through this coffee industrial park, so we decided to visit one of the parks.
After driving for about ten minutes along the provincial road from Lijiangba, we arrived at Lijiangba, a large sandbar formed by the slowing flow of the Nujiang River. On this sandbar is a town - Lijiang Town. Under the jurisdiction of Lijiang Town are numerous coffee industrial parks. We drove through the town along the provincial road, and most of the shops in the town were related to coffee, presenting a scene of a coffee capital.
Before long, a large-scale industrial park appeared before us - Biton Coffee Industrial Park. We drove straight in.
The parking lot of Biton Industrial Park is quite spacious, accommodating hundreds of cars. The reception center is right next to the parking lot, with a stylish decor mainly of glass and wood. A wide variety of coffee products, from brewing to coffee candy, dazzled us.
Behind the reception center is the plantation. Here, we saw coffee trees for the first time. Rows of green, half-human-height small trees were neatly arranged, with the towering Nu Mountains and the rushing Nujiang River as the backdrop, creating a stunning scenery. The plantation also grows other tropical tree species like mangoes as embellishments, forming a small tropical botanical garden.
The industrial park also offers accommodation and dining services. The wooden cabins for accommodation are located within the plantation, and the dining features many interesting coffee-themed dishes developed using coffee as an ingredient, which is quite fascinating.
Besides leisure and entertainment, Biton Industrial Park also has a small coffee museum, allowing us to learn about the past and present of coffee, Yunnan coffee, and Biton coffee. The museum is connected to the coffee roasting workshop, with the strong aroma of coffee wafting through the park. The museum is connected to the reception center, and a wall of coffee cups in the corridor left a deep impression on us.
Overall, the experience at the coffee industrial park was very good. If we had more time, we might have considered staying overnight. However, since it was still early, after enjoying a coffee feast for lunch and buying some coffee, we bid farewell to Biton and delved deeper into the Nujiang Grand Canyon.
Mass-produce life photos! The absolutely beautiful 'infinity pool' is so photogenic~
The hotel's design is inspired by the traditional architecture of the Dai ethnic group, using more than twenty thick wooden piles as supports for the Dai-style buildings. The roof adopts a hip-and-gable design, decorated with traditional phoenix patterns, showcasing respect for traditional culture.
The guest room design cleverly integrates the local 'seat living' lifestyle, using natural materials such as bamboo, natural stone, volcanic stone, and red bricks to create a living space that harmoniously coexists with the surrounding tropical vegetation. The rooms are mainly decorated with natural wood. Whenever you open the window, you can enjoy the magnificent view of Gaoligong Mountain and the lush vegetation within the estate, as if you are in a tropical rainforest.
The restaurant offers Dai ethnic cuisine full of local flavor. The service staff have gentle voices and friendly attitudes, providing customers with an excellent dining experience.
From an aerial view of Huke, we can see a refreshing light blue color—it is the 'Huke Infinity Pool' that has received countless positive reviews from customers.
The edge of the pool seems to disappear into the endless greenery, where the water meets the sky, giving a sense of infinite imagination. The swaying tree shadows are reflected on the pool's surface, and a leap into the pool immediately immerses you in a painting. The pool water is clear to the bottom, sparkling under the sunlight, rippling with the breeze, with distant and near views dancing with the waves, depicting a fantastical world.
The body is tightly wrapped by the water waves, enjoying the embrace of the water, feeling the gentle ripples and the coolness and comfort brought by the water flow. Swimming in Huke's infinity pool, the most enjoyable part is the tranquility when entering the water and the lightness after finishing. It allows you to be in the midst of nature, conversing with it.
In addition to fulfilling the swimming function, Huke Infinity Pool is also an excellent 'viewing platform,' whether it's sunrise, sunset, or a starry sky, it can bring you a unique visual enjoyment. Traveling with a partner, it gives a feeling of 'the moon on the sea is the moon in the sky, the person before your eyes is the person in your heart.'

Baoshan Museum and Qinghua Lake Scenic Area
Baoshan can be regarded as the central city of Southwest Yunnan, bordering Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture and Lincang City to the east, Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture to the north, Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture to the west, and sharing borders with Myanmar to the northwest and due south. The administrative establishment of Baoshan dates back to the Han Dynasty, with a long history of over two thousand years.
With the morning sun shining high, the sky a tile blue, walking on the wide streets of Baoshan City, one does not feel the crampedness of a small mountain town. The Baoshan Museum, under the sunlight, appears simple and bright. The museum's architecture is shaped like an ancient southern bronze drum, with large relief decorations on the walls. The square in front of the museum is vast, possibly accommodating 50,000 people. During the day, it is empty and filled with sunlight, while in the evening, it becomes a free market for small commodities and snacks, bustling with noise and excitement. Inside the museum, there are several sections displaying Baoshan's historical culture, historical figures, the Western Yunnan Resistance against Japan, natural resources, and construction achievements, with rich content and detailed exhibits.
After viewing the exhibition, we drove 5 kilometers to the parking lot on the south side of Qinghua Lake Park, only to see a few parked cars, which was somewhat surprising. Passing through the antique gate of Yongzi Chess Academy, a flower pond leads to a huge Yin-Yang fish Tai Chi diagram on the ground, and further ahead is a spacious stone bridge, facing the majestic Yongchang Pavilion. Yongchang Pavilion, which houses the Yongzi Chess Academy, is 44.99 meters high, symbolizing long-lasting good fortune, with 9 floors inside and 5 floors outside, representing the supreme honor of 'Nine-Five'.

A township government building from the 70s and 80s has been transformed into a manor castle, becoming a hotspot for competitive photography
In the dry-hot valley of Lüjiangba at the foot of Gaoligong Mountain in Baoshan, Yunnan, there is a village called "Xinzhai". It is the village with the largest area of small-grain coffee cultivation in China. Along the roads of the village, the originally bare walls seem to have been 'enchanted', covered with creative spray paintings themed around coffee; the old, unused village committee building has been turned into a European-style 'castle' coffee estate.
Coffee shops, coffee factories, coffee museums... Here, the mountains are covered with coffee trees. The courtyards are filled with drying coffee beans, the village is permeated with the aroma of coffee, and the coffee farmers no longer 'just grow without drinking' as in the past. Instead, they put down their hoes, pick up coffee cups, and become coffee connoisseurs, with coffee deeply integrated into the lives of Xinzhai villagers. At the foot of Gaoligong Mountain, tens of thousands of acres of coffee trees are lush and the coffee flowers bloom. When the blooming season arrives, the coffee farmers of Xinzhai village start to get busy with weeding, fertilizing, pruning, and forking for the coffee trees...
Yunnan's small-grain coffee has a planting history of over 70 years, and its original production area is precisely Xinzhai Village.
Xinzhai Village features a 'three-dimensional climate' combining high mountains, flat plains, and river valleys, with a unique dry-hot valley climate that is rare in the country. The soil here is fertile, with abundant sunshine, large temperature differences at night, and basically no frost throughout the year; moderate humidity and rainfall. The coffee produced here has uniform and full grains, a fresh smell, a rich aroma, strong but not bitter, fragrant but not intense, and with a slight fruity taste, ranking alongside the world-famous 'Blue Mountain coffee'.
'Xinzhai Coffee Estate', also known as 'Ephraim Estate', was transformed from an old, abandoned township government compound. The walls, made of red bricks and cement, exude the mysterious feel of a European castle. It is said that this coffee estate was built with 760,000 bricks over four years. The arched blank windows frame the beautiful scenery of Gaoligong Mountain.
In the spacious estate, there is a piano with live performances, the ethereal and elegant piano sounds linger, and sitting here with a cup of coffee, the ancient banyan trees sway in the wind, watching the distant mountains gradually fade, like an ink painting...
Life sometimes needs some meaningless things to recharge oneself, doesn't it?
