The underestimated ancient village of Zhengying in Shiping

The underestimated ancient village of Zhengying in Shiping When you go to Shiping, don't miss this underestimated ancient village of Zhengying. Zhengying Village, located on the shore of Chirui Lake in Baoxiu Town, Shiping County, Honghe Prefecture, has a history of more than 600 years. The ancient banyan pond in the village is gurgling, and the mountains behind the village are densely forested. The three streets and nine alleys named after surnames and geographical environment, the ancestral halls, pavilions, schools and typical residential buildings form a unique historical and cultural feature. It is hard to imagine that there is a Jiangnan hidden in such a remote village. The beams, brackets, screen doors and windows of the residential buildings in Zhengying Ancient Village are all finely crafted. The traditional architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties and the local ethnic characteristics blend together to create a unique atmosphere. Among them, the carvings and murals of the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall are rare masterpieces among the many Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings in China and are well preserved. Families who like architecture must not miss it~ Travel tips: The ancient village is 10km away from the county seat. It is recommended to drive there by yourself, or you can charter a car, but it must include round-trip travel. 1. Free admission. Closed on Mondays. Don't miss out. Zhengying is famous for its hairy crabs and there are many farmhouses around it, so there is basically no problem with eating and drinking. outdoor

Shiping Old Street

Shípíng (石屏) is an ancient town in the Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture in southeastern Yunnan, about 240 km (150 miles) from Kunming, the provincial capital. The stone-paved streets are really pretty, and the local tofu with all kinds of mushrooms is delicious (though some of the wild mushrooms can be poisonous, so you have to be careful!). I stayed in a guesthouse that was built in a 300-year-old traditional house—it was such a cozy place to relax. The courtyard there was especially nice, perfect for sitting down with a cup of tea.

Shiping Yilonghu National Wetland Park

Yilong Lake (异龙湖) in 石屏 is a beautiful spot where you could easily spend the whole day strolling around. It’s a large freshwater lake in Shiping County, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan, with a surface area of about 32 square kilometers (12 sq mi). The scenery is stunning, especially when the colorful lotus flowers are in bloom. The lake reflects the blue sky like a giant mirror, creating a calm and peaceful vibe. It’s also a great place to hit your 10,000 steps on your tracker, and the sunsets are really pretty. It’s definitely worth visiting twice—once in the morning and again in the evening (but best to skip noon time).
