Who knows! I recently discovered a super treasure place—Heshun Ancient Town

Who knows! I recently discovered a super treasure place—Heshun Ancient Town, it's simply an ideal place on earth💖 Before I went, I was skeptical, but I didn't expect that once I got there, I was completely captivated by its beauty! Today, I'm sharing this fresh guide with you, save it quickly! 📍Where is Heshun Ancient Town? Heshun Ancient Town is in Tengchong, Yunnan, not far from the city center, and the location is very easy to find. It's only about a 20-minute taxi ride from Tengchong Airport, which is very convenient 🚕 🎫About Tickets The ticket is CNY 55 per person, but the ticket is valid for 7 days, so you can take your time to stroll around without worrying about being too rushed. And you may be able to get a small discount if you buy tickets online in advance~ 🏠Where to Stay Comfortably If you want to experience the charm of the ancient town, then stay in a guesthouse in the ancient town. When you open the window, you will see quiet alleys, and you can feel the atmosphere of daily life when you go out. "Yunshang Time Lake View Hot Spring Resort Guesthouse" is great. It is not only clean and beautiful, but also has a starry sky terrace hot spring. It is so pleasant to soak in the hot spring and watch the stars at night🌟 If your budget is sufficient, Heshun Bayun Hotel is also very good, with a first-class environment and attentive service, allowing you to enjoy a luxurious experience. 🌈Must-Visit Attractions - Heshun Library: Built in 1928, this is the largest rural library in China! As soon as you walk in, you will be filled with the fragrance of books. It contains many precious ancient books, as if you can see the scene of overseas Chinese children studying and communicating here. Taking pictures here is also very atmospheric, and any shot is a literary masterpiece📚 - Ai Siqi Memorial Hall: If you want to learn about the life of this famous Marxist philosopher, come here. The memorial hall is a Chinese-Western style courtyard with connecting buildings and carved lattice fans, which is simple and elegant. Standing in the courtyard, feeling the wisdom and spirit of the predecessors is really shocking. - Shuanghong Bridge: The two bridges are like two rainbows spanning the river, and the name is so appropriate! The bridge is shaded by green willows, and when the lotus flowers are in full bloom in the lotus pond, it is as beautiful as a painting. In the evening, sit by the bridge and watch the sunset shining on the water, sparkling, and the whole person is healed🌇 - Heshun Alley: Built along the Sanhe River, there are nearly 10,000 square meters of ancient buildings here, and you can also see folk handicraft displays such as ancient papermaking and wood carving. Walking into the alley is like walking into a time tunnel, full of historical traces. By the way, don't miss the Da Ma Bang Museum inside. More than 3,000 cultural relics and nearly 100 old photos will take you to appreciate the history of the ancient Southwest Silk Road and the life of the Da Ma Bang. 🍜Heshun on the Tip of the Tongue - Cun's Rice Noodles: You must eat it! It is sold around 12:00 every day, and it will be gone when it is sold out. The rice noodle skin is homemade, with a smooth taste, and it is super satisfying with a refreshing seasoning. It costs CNY 4 a bowl, which is very cost-effective. - Xidou Powder: A must-try when you come to Heshun! Yang Dama Xidou Powder, a century-old store, and Li's Xidou Powder are both very good. Xidou Powder with fried dough sticks or Erkuai is amazing! Especially Li's Xidou Powder, which is only sold at 6pm, and many locals go to eat it, so you know how popular it is. - Clay Pot: Tengchong's traditional hot pot, made with local ingredients, the soup base is very delicious, and various meats and vegetables are matched just right. A full pot is super satisfying. 🚶‍♀️How to Plan a Trip - East Line: Visitor Center Archway → Shuanghong Bridge → Wenchang Palace → Heshun Library → Water Impression → Governor's Mansion → Wild Duck Lake → Liu Clan Ancestral Hall → Li Clan Ancestral Hall → Yuanlong Pavilion → Ai Siqi Memorial Hall. This route has both cultural landscapes and natural landscapes, so you can feel the history and culture of the ancient town and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains. - West Line: Visitor Center → Heshun Library → Cun Clan Ancestral Hall → Wanlouzi Residential Museum → Sanhe Art Museum → Century-Old Vegetable Street → God of Wealth Temple → Zhongtian Temple → Thousand-Hand Guanyin Ancient Tree Group. The west line allows you to deeply understand the architectural features and folk culture of the ancient town, and you can also stroll around the lively vegetable street and experience the local life. 📌Tips 1. The roads in the ancient town are uneven, so it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes, otherwise your feet will hurt after walking for a long time. 2. The ultraviolet rays here are strong, so no matter what season you come, you must protect yourself from the sun and bring sunscreen, a sun hat and sunglasses🕶️ 3. There are a lot of mosquitoes in the ancient town, so remember to bring mosquito repellent spray, otherwise you will easily get bitten all over your legs. 4. Public restrooms are not everywhere, so go to one when you see it, otherwise you may have to look for a while. Heshun Ancient Town is really a place you don't want to leave once you go. Its tranquility, simplicity, and atmosphere of daily life are all fascinating. Take some time to feel it, and I believe you will fall in love with it too💕
