In-depth Tour of Simola Wa Village | Exploring Tengchong's Hidden Gem Route

| Exploring Tengchong's Hidden Gem Route. 🌸In-depth Tour of Simola Wa Village | Exploring Tengchong's Hidden Gem Route🌿 🌈Among Tengchong's many beautiful attractions, there's one mysterious place you absolutely shouldn't miss—Simola Wa Village🏞️. 🌳If you're tired of the hustle and bustle of city life and seeking a peaceful retreat, Simola Wa Village is the perfect choice. Located in Tengchong city, it's filled with mystical charm and unique Wa culture permeating every inch of land. Stepping into this place feels like traveling through time into an ancient and mysterious world. 🏡Upon entering Simola Wa Village, the first thing that catches your eye is the distinctive architectural style. Ancient Wa residences are nestled harmoniously among the mountains and waters, with blue tiles and white walls standing out vividly against the natural backdrop. Here, the rich Wa cultural atmosphere envelops you, allowing you to personally experience a unique rural lifestyle. 🗺️【Location】: Zhongzhai, Sanjia Village, Qingshui Township, Tengchong City, Yunnan Province. It's 13 kilometers from downtown Tengchong, 7 kilometers from the airport, and the visitor center is only 5 kilometers from the airport, making transportation very convenient. 🌝【Recommended Visit Duration】: If you want to leisurely take photos and enjoy the scenery, 2-3 hours is appropriate. The scenic area isn't very large, so if you're just passing through, you can finish in half an hour. 🚪【Tickets and Transportation】: Admission is free, and you can visit anytime. However, after arriving at the visitor center, you need to take a sightseeing vehicle to enter the village, as private vehicles not belonging to villagers are prohibited. Of course, like us, choosing to ride motorcycles in is also a unique experience. 💟【Recommended Attractions】: Wa King's Palace: An important symbol of Wa culture, carrying history and tradition. Wooden Drum House: Wooden drums have special significance in Wa culture, and here you can gain a deeper understanding of their meaning. Terraced Fields: Beautifully arranged terraces with different scenery across seasons, a masterpiece of nature. Ancient Banyan Tree Grove: The Wa people use bull heads as totems, and many bull heads hang on trees, intertwining with banyan trees and mountain scenery to create a picture full of wild charm. Seven Springs: A pool formed by 7 interconnected mountain springs with crystal-clear water and many large fish swimming in it, creating a lively and beautiful scene. Sacred Tree Ceremony: Experience the mysterious and solemn sacrificial culture of the Wa people and appreciate their reverence for nature. 🏆【Zhongzhai Wa Village】: This is a rustic and primitive village that preserves many venues and symbols for ethnic ceremonies. The staggered residences with walls painted with ethnic-style murals showcase the unique ethnic charm everywhere. 🏀The pastoral scenery around the village is equally enchanting, with terraced fields layered upon each other, water wheels turning leisurely, and wildflowers blooming freely, like a primitive yet vibrant rural painting. 🛞In the village, you can not only visit traditional residences and learn about Wa life in depth but also rent Wa costumes for photos, priced at around 50 yuan. 🍃The natural scenery of Simola Wa Village is truly exceptional. Surrounded by green mountains and lush trees, the fresh air is refreshing. You can stroll leisurely through the fields, fully enjoying nature's generous gifts, or climb to the top of the mountain to take in the beautiful scenery of the entire village, experiencing that refreshing tranquility and beauty.
