Don’t join expensive “pure play tours,” carpool yourself for more freedom and savings; 2. Bring your student ID! Almost all attractions offer half-price tickets; 3. Wear non-slip shoes, volcanic trails and columnar joints are slippery and difficult; 4. Sleep early at night, highland climate causes fatigue easily; 5. Go to Heshun Ancient Town at 7 AM for photos, no disturbance, perfect light and shadow! 📌 Conclusion: Tengchong is never expensive, it’s just too quiet. So quiet you must put down your phone to hear its breath; So quiet that a bowl of rice noodles, a soak in the hot spring, a falling leaf can bring tears to your eyes. If you are tired too, Come to Tengchong. Spend less than a hot pot meal for a complete rebirth.
