The golden light is so shocking, wearing Dai clothing and taking photos, she instantly becomes a foreign princess👑 Atami Scenic Area: A volcanic geothermal wonder! Boil eggs next to a big boiling pot and soak in the natural sulfur hot springs for a super healing experience♨️ Ginkgo Village (November only): When 3,000 ancient ginkgo trees turn yellow, the fallen leaves on the ground look like a golden carpet🍂 Heshun Ancient Town: Quieter than Dali! Bluestone pavement + ancestral hall culture, a delight for people who love humanities📖 One village, two countries: the swing swings across the border! Magical experience at the China-Myanmar border 🇨🇳→🇲🇲 🍩【Must-eat food】 Cross-bridge rice noodles: Kunming’s time-honored brand “Jianxinyuan”, the soup is so delicious that it’ll make you drop your eyebrows! 🍜 Huogou beef: beef cooked in copper scoop charcoal fire, dipped in Dai-style spicy sauce and it’s delicious😭 Sapie: A Mangshi specialty! Bitter Intestine Soup with Rice Noodles, sour and spicy 🌶️ Earthen pot: Tengchong intangible cultural heritage dish, volcanic stone pot stewed chicken is delicious 🍲 Jingpo pilaf: a must-try in Ruili! The banana leaves are piled with barbecued meat/ghost chicken/glutinous rice, and it is delicious to eat with your hands👐 🏨【Accommodation Guide】 ✅ Mangshi: Stay at [Mengba Naxi Hotel], Dai style + swimming pool, 10 minutes walk to Shwedagon Pagoda~ ✅ Tengchong: Highly recommend [Dongshan Hot Spring Hotel]! Enjoy the private hot spring in the room and get a free volcanic mud SPA🧖♀️ ✅ Heshun Ancient Town: Choose [Anzhiruosu] B&B, the terrace overlooks the panoramic view of the ancient town, and it is a great place to take photos📸 🚌 【Transportation Guide】 ⚠️ The roads in western Yunnan are winding and mountainous, making driving tiring and dangerous! It is recommended to join a group/charter car (1500-2000 per person including car + guide) ✈️ Transportation: Fly to Kunming and transfer to Mangshi (or fly directly to Mangshi/Tengchong to save time) 🚌 Internal transportation: mainly group buses, it is recommended to choose a business car for the Tengchong→Ruili section (comfort level is higher) 🧡 【Tips】 🌡️Big temperature difference! Bring a thin coat in spring and summer, and a down jacket in autumn and winter (Ginkgo Village is only 5℃ in the morning and evening in November!) 📷 Do not take photos at the border checkpoint! Carry your ID card with you (Ruili/Jiegao need to check) 🩱 Bring your own swimsuit when taking a hot spring bath! Sulfur hot spring water will stain, so don't wear light-colored swimsuits~ 💰 The Ruili jade market is very complicated! If you don’t know the trade, be careful when buying. It is recommended to stock up on Myanmar snacks at duty-free shops. 🚫 Avoid pitfalls when traveling with a group: choose a “pure play, no shopping” group! Read the contract carefully!
