HE SHUN JIA YAN

The scenery is beautiful, the third floor terrace can see the distant mountains, the food is very tasty and delicious

📍Detailed Address: Heshun Family Banquet Heshun Ancient Town is full of delicious restaurants, and several of the more famous ones are run by non-locals. The Heshun Family Banquet we visited this time is run by a family from one of the eight major surnames in Heshun, the "Cun" family. They use pure indigenous craftsmanship and focus on authentic flavors. Earth Pot A must-try dish in Heshun. It's a traditional dish enjoyed by Tengchong residents on New Year's Eve, during Qingming Festival, and during the Beginning of Winter. The preparation process is complex, so reservations are essential. The pot contains crispy pork, egg rolls, pork skin, taro, bamboo shoots, carrots, spare ribs, and greens. It's salty and fresh, and the dipping sauce is sour and spicy. Papaya Beef A delicious dish that goes well with rice and is perfectly flavored. Stir-fried Small Squash A personal favorite of mine, a dish I've never tried or seen before. It has a crispy texture with a hint of sweetness. I love it. Da Jiujia Commonly known as stir-fried bait cake, it's one of Yunnan's Eighteen Wonders and is named after the Yongli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. From restaurants to street vendors, the fried er kuai (rice cakes) at every restaurant are incredibly delicious. A must-try! Nao Tou (head-to-head) is another must-try dish in Heshun. It's more like a dessert than a dish. It contains shredded chicken, ham, egg rind, a poached egg, and glutinous rice cakes. It's named after the dish.

Can you imagine how it tastes? I'm not used to it, but I'd be remiss not to try it. So, if you're looking for something new, be sure to order the small portion!! #FoodFestival #LocalSpecialSnacks #LocalFood #YunnanFood #TengchongYunnan

I spent 15,000 RMB to take my parents and bestie to Tengchong, staying in a private hot spring B&B at the foot of a volcano. On the morning of the third day, my dad cried under a ginkgo tree: "I'm old, but Yunnan is still young." I'm Afeng, a travel blogger specializing in curing life's stagnation. This time, I finally fulfilled my wish list—a three-day, two-night trip to Tengchong for four of us, with a budget of 15,000 RMB, or 3,750 RMB per person. It wasn't a budget trip, but every penny was well spent. We flew from Kunming to Tengchong, ¥680 per person round-trip. The moment we landed, we understood what "Little Spring City on the Border" meant: The sun was as soft as a blanket, the air so sweet you could squeeze out oxygen. Even the taxi driver was humming "Xiao Fang": "There's a girl in the village named Xiao Fang..." The first night was spent at the rustic luxury B&B "Qiyun·Shan" near Heshun Ancient Town, ¥1,280 per night. It's a stand-alone courtyard with a private hot spring pool. While soaking in the hot water and gazing at the stars, my bestie suddenly said, "Is this volcanic geothermal water? Isn't that like bathing in the Earth's heartbeat?" Just as she finished speaking, a dog barked in the distance. The owner calmly explained, "Don't be afraid, it's the village chief's Husky chasing fireflies and falling into the ditch again." The next day, we headed straight to the Volcano Park and took a hot air balloon ride for ¥260 per person, drifting through the black pine forest. It felt like floating on an ancient planet. In the afternoon, we explored columnar joints and walked through cracks in lava solidified billions of years ago. My mom kept muttering, "This road is rougher than your dad's snoring..." Turning around, I saw two elderly men taking photos back to back, pretending not to know each other. The highlight was the wild hot springs at the foot of Gaoligong Mountain. Hidden deep in the dense forest, the water temperature was 42°C, and while soaking, you could see macaques dancing on the cliffs. After the soak, we drove to Ginkgo Village. It was late autumn, and golden fallen leaves covered the roofs and alleyways. My dad squatted under a 300-year-old ginkgo tree, silently picked up a whole leaf, and stuffed it into his wallet: "Keep it, put it in the bottom of your drawer as a bookmark." I didn't take a picture, but I remember the light in his eyes when he looked up. Our last meal was **Dai-style private cuisine**. The proprietress personally prepared sa pi, roast suckling pig, and a huge pot of boiling chicken soup. The four of us ate until we were leaning against the wall, and it only cost 388 yuan. After dinner, we flew back to the airport. The plane soared through the clouds, and the sea of ​​clouds outside the window swirled like a newborn world. My best friend fell asleep on my shoulder, clutching a camellia she'd bought in Heshun. With these 15,000 yuan, I didn't buy any designer brands or visit any popular travel spots, but I bought the most luxurious things: I allowed my parents, in their old age, to still be moved by a single leaf; I allowed my friends, even in their busy lives, to catch their breath at a sunset. Tengchong is quiet, yet gentleness is carved into the cracks of its stone. It tells you that the so-called peaceful days are when someone walks slowly with you, watching the earth breathe. #TengchongTravel #YunnanUndergroundTours #FamilyTravel #GirlfriendTravel #Hot Spring B&BRecommendations #GinkgoVillage #HealingScenery #BestTravelDiary
