Who understands? Coming to Baoshan is all about pure eating|Fun and delicious

This post shares about Baoshan, a low-key yet treasure-filled small city. The secret realm of western Yunnan is truly worth exploring slowly!😍 🚶‍♀️3-day travel itinerary recommendation: Day 1: 📍Airport attraction: Wofo Temple, a must-visit right after getting off the plane, very close to the airport, free admission is a big plus 📍Dongshan Slope: The best spot to overlook the whole city from a height, absolutely stunning at sunset 📍Qinghuahai Wetland Park: Locals’ favorite for walks, the lake view is super healing Day 2: 📍Tengchong Rehai: A must for soaking in natural hot springs (remember to bring swimwear), highly recommend the clay pot dishes at the scenic area restaurant 📍Heshun Ancient Town: A slow life ten times quieter than Dali, the corner coffee shops are perfect for daydreaming 📍Western Yunnan Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall: Free but requires reservation, an immersive way to learn about that history Day 3: 📍Gaoligong Mountain Hiking: Beginners are advised to take the 3km small loop trail (navigate to Baihualing entrance) 📍Xinzai Coffee Estate: The best coffee in China is here! Hand drip coffee at 38 RMB is an unbeatable value 📍Lujiangba: The riverside view at dusk looks like an oil painting, roadside bananas are 2 RMB for a big bunch 🍜Foodie Guide: ✅Rice bean jelly with fried dough sticks: The old brand "Lin Dama" has long queues from 7 AM ✅Huopiao Beef: Recommend "Meng Ji" for the sour and spicy hotpot base, absolutely amazing ✅Mango dipped in chili: Buy casually at the market, a local eating style that’s super addictive 💡Practical Tips: 1. Big temperature difference between morning and evening, onion-style layering is safest 2. Didi is cheaper than taxis, but for suburbs, car rental is recommended (300 RMB/day) 3. Markets are cheaper than the old town, buy small coffee beans and Burmese brown sugar as souvenirs Only after coming to Baoshan do you realize, the so-called peaceful times are just the time it takes to enjoy a bowl of rice bean jelly~

Heshun Ancient Town

Explore Heshun Ancient Town, a soulful ancient town hidden in the southwest border. Tengchong boasts not only distant mountains but also the melodious charm of a water town and the romance of an ancient town. Every evening, the setting sun shines on the ancient houses, and the blue sky, white clouds, and surrounding green trees, complemented by the rivers and lakes, captivate you, making you reluctant to leave. - Heshun Ancient Town: The Soul of an Overseas Chinese Hometown, Embracing History and Scenery Enter Heshun Ancient Town and you'll be captivated by its pervasive natural beauty and cultural charm. Heshun has long been a major town in southwest China and a renowned hometown of overseas Chinese. From its ancient buildings, bluestone alleyways, to the wafting fragrance of flowers, the town is filled with a tranquil and vibrant atmosphere. Surrounded by lush mountains and flowing through clear rivers, sunny days are perfect for a light stroll through the streets—wear a striking outfit and snap photos amidst the ancient buildings and natural beauty—you're sure to get plenty of photos! I especially recommend visiting the town at dusk to experience the afterglow of the sunset. The soft golden light makes everything seem exceptionally peaceful and beautiful. Surrounded by the mere sounds of birdsong and flowing water, time seems to slow down.
