Heshun Ancient Town
No. 6 of Night Attractions in Yunnan

Heshun Ancient Town

8.1
4.4/5
6.5k reviews

Heshun Ancient Town is located southwest of Tengchong city, a borderland ancient town with over 600 years of history. Originally settled by military households guarding the frontier, the village was named "Heshun" (meaning "river follows") due to a small river encircling it. Later, locals refined the name to its current form, inspired by the phrase "scholars harmonious, people compliant." As Yunnan's renowned hometown of overseas Chinese and a key caravan hub on the Southwest Silk Road, generations of ancestors traveled to Myanmar for trade—their descendants now spread across more than ten countries and regions. Here, traditional central plains family values, borderland customs, and Western influences brought back from Southeast Asia blend seamlessly in the alleyways, making the entire town resemble an open-air museum of Sino-Western architectural fusion. The ancient town rises gradually along the mountain facing the flatland, with ancestral halls, memorial archways, and old residences from the Ming and Qing dynasties spreading across the slopes. Clan ancestral halls like the Cun and Liu family halls line the alleys—the Liu ancestral hall stands by a stream, housing a teahouse where visitors can sit and enjoy hot tea brewed with Longtan spring water and chestnut charcoal fire. The curved building dwelling museum gets its name from structures following the winding lanes, featuring three courtyards with ingenious East-meets-West designs; the TV series "Beijing Love Story" filmed scenes here. Crossing Shuanghong Bridge leads to a hillside library founded in the late 1920s by overseas Chinese from Myanmar, still serving locals with its 100,000-volume collection today. Ai Siqi's former residence, the Jade King's house, Zhongtian Temple, Wenchang Palace, and the Sino-Myanmar Anti-Japanese War Museum each hold unique histories worth exploring in depth. A clear stream winds around the village, with weeping willows brushing the banks. Along the river stand several laundry pavilions built successively since the Guangxu era of the Qing dynasty—a thoughtful gesture from men traveling abroad to their families back home, providing shelter for women washing clothes by the river. This earned them the poetic name "wifeloving pavilions." Watching locals pound laundry and chat by these pavilions offers a deeper taste of the ancient town's daily life than hurried checkins. The lanes of Heshun gather shops preserving old crafts like shadow puppetry, rattan weaving, and traditional papermaking, perfect for a leisurely stroll. Heshun takes its food seriously: the local specialty "Dajiu Jia" (literally "life-saving dish") is actually stir-fried rice cakes, thinly sliced and cooked with eggs, ham, and pickled vegetables—oily, fragrant, and named after a legend involving an exiled emperor. The pine pollen cakes from old street-side shops, made with pine pollen and red beans, are delicately sweet and soft. Sweet "Tounao," slow-cooked earthen pot stews, and the traditional banquet "Sandishui" served only for guests are all worth saving room for. The ancient town is sizable—too big to explore in one day—so consider staying at an inn converted from an old residence, many of which retain their original two- or three-courtyard layouts. Wake up naturally, enjoy a bowl of Dajiu Jia at the town entrance, then bask in the sun by the riverside laundry pavilion, adjusting to the rhythm of Heshun life.

Beihai Wetland
No. 3 of Best Things to Do in Baoshan

Beihai Wetland

7.7
4.4/5
3.1k reviews

Tengchong Beihai Wetland National AAAA-level attraction is located 12.5km northeast of Tengchong City, Yunnan Province. It is the only volcanic barrier lake floating carpet wetland in China. The attraction is surrounded by mountains. It is a subtropical volcanic rock barrier lake formed by the eruption of Cenozoic volcanoes 600,000 years ago. The nutrient-rich volcanic ash has nurtured a large area of ​​meadows floating on the water, forming a colorful giant floating carpet on the water. The wetland is famous for its biodiversity due to its three-dimensional ecosystem composed of alpine forests, floating carpets on the water surface and barrier lakes. It is known as the "Kidney of the Earth" and "Gene Bank of Wetland Species". More than 300 years ago, Xu Xiake, a traveler in the Ming Dynasty, visited here in person. In his "Yunnan Travel Diary", he left a description of the magical landscape of Beihai Wetland: "The lake is as large as a thousand acres, with green weeds in the middle, and the bottom is like floating grass. There are also streams running through it, but they cannot rise." The altitude here is 1,750 meters, with negative oxygen ions as high as 16,000/cubic centimeter, and PM2.5 less than 10 all year round. It is a world-recognized longevity and livable altitude zone. It is a good place for you to escape the heat and cold, enjoy beautiful scenery and fresh oxygen, and have a good vacation. You can take a small boat and bamboo raft to roam in the water, feel the company of fish, shrimps and birds, the breeze is gentle, the water is calm, and you are at ease. Here you can experience grass rafts, stepping on grass, stepping on fish, grilling fish, etc., and enjoy the fun of nature. There is a floating water plank road here, allowing you to get closer to many precious birds and exotic flowers and plants in the wetland, including the blue-headed duck known as the "giant panda among birds", the "giant panda among plants" Brasenia schrenkiana and hundreds of other rare animals and plants, and experience the vivid fun of the natural classroom. Here, you can experience the unique four-season experience of "appreciating the romance of irises in spring", "enjoying the coolness of the sea of ​​clouds in summer", "shooting the colorful sea of ​​flowers in autumn", and "watching the flock of migratory birds in winter", and enjoy the beautiful encounter between the mountains and the sea in the Beihai Wetland.

Tengchong Volcanic and Geothermal National Geopark

7.5
4.2/5
2.3k reviews

Tengchong Volcanic and Geothermal National Geopark is the region with the largest scale, most complete preservation, concentrated distribution, and comprehensive types of volcanic landforms in Tengchong. It showcases diverse volcanic activities and records a complete volcanic history spanning millions of years. The attraction features complete volcanic types, recent eruption periods, abundant species, and unique views. It serves as a comprehensive national geopark integrating volcanic sightseeing, outdoor leisure, environmental wellness, geological research, and science education. In 2016, as a key component of the Volcanic Hot Spring Tourism Area, it was rated as a national 5A-level attraction. Within the attraction, Dakongshan, Xiaokongshan of Tengchong Volcanic and Geothermal National Geopark, and Heikongshan are aligned in a row. Except for the volcanic cones, all are covered by overflow lava from volcanic eruptions, surrounded by typical volcanic geological landscapes. Visitors can hike to the crater and enjoy panoramic views of vast lava flows and platforms from the summit of Dakongshan. Alternatively, they can take a hot air balloon ride or a powered delta wing for an aerial view of the volcanoes. Nearby, Xiaokongshan of Tengchong Volcanic and Geothermal National Geopark is equally spectacular with its perfectly round crater. Walking around the crater symbolizes "a turn of good fortune." Upon entering the attraction's main gate, you'll find the Tengchong Volcanic Geology Museum on your right. This museum focuses on volcanic geology education, showcasing the distribution of interstellar, global, and Tengchong volcanoes through interactive exhibits, specimen displays, and multimedia presentations. At the foot of Xiaokong Mountain, there's also a Volcanic Science Experience Center – an educational theme park that combines scientific knowledge with entertainment activities. The hot air balloon ride club may close early or suspend operations due to weather or air currents. Those with a fear of heights or special conditions are not recommended to participate. Separate bookings are required for hot air balloon rides, powered trikes, and horseback riding.

Ginkgo Village
2026 Global 50 - Fall Viewing Attractions

Ginkgo Village

6.8
4.1/5
1.8k reviews

Ginkgo Village is located in Gudong Town, Tengchong City. Originally named Jiangdong Village, it was renamed for the natural, continuous stretches of ancient ginkgo forest within the village. Tens of thousands of ginkgo trees are distributed here, including over a thousand ancient ginkgo trees that are more than a century old. The "Ginkgo King" in the village is over 1,300 years old, making this a concentrated and ancient ginkgo community in Yunnan. The village's distinctive view is that "the village is in the forest, and the forest is in the village"—residences are scattered among the ginkgo forest, with ancient trees of all sizes surrounding the houses. Low walls built of volcanic stone wind along both sides of the village roads, and farmhouses with gray tiles and red walls complement the golden ginkgo. Every year from mid-November to early December is the peak season when the ginkgo turns yellow. Ginkgo leaves drift down with the wind, covering the village roads, alleys, and farm courtyards, making the entire village look like a golden world. When shrouded in thin morning mist, the veins of the backlit ginkgo leaves are clearly visible; in the evening when the setting sun slants across, cooking smoke and fallen leaves interweave, making it very suitable for photography. In the village, you can also experience intangible cultural heritage such as oil-paper umbrella making and shadow puppetry, and taste the specialty ginkgo banquet with ginkgo used in dishes. When visiting, it is worth walking more through the village's small alleys—many ancient ginkgo trees are hidden by the courtyard walls of local households, and it is easy to miss them if you only walk along the main road.

Dongshan Grassland
No. 2 of Family-friendly Attractions in Baoshan

Dongshan Grassland

6.6
4.5/5
228 reviews

Dongshan Grassland is a hidden alpine meadow landscape nestled along mountain ridges, untouched by excessive human modification. Here, undulating slopes dance with shifting clouds and sunlight, while the expansive 2,200m elevation offers panoramic views of distant mountain waves stretching toward the horizon. This creates one of western Yunnan's rare three-dimensional grassland vistas. Winding up along County Road 193, the grasslands grow increasingly picturesque. Hikers love exploring the narrow trails trodden by livestock, discovering wild charm among irises and lichen-covered boulders. Photographers often wait to capture the morning mist rising from valleys or the silhouettes of herders guiding horses home at dusk. Scattered across the grassland are natural ponds reflecting drifting clouds and birds in flight—summer brings brief visits from black-necked cranes. From May to August, the meadows transform into a vibrant tapestry of wildflowers like asters and gentians, while after September, they turn into a golden carpet. Local villagers maintain traditional herding practices—if you come across their wooden hay-drying racks, take a moment to hear their modern take on the pastoral scene described in the ancient verse, "The grass bends low in the wind, revealing cattle and sheep." At the edge of the grassland, remnants of the ancient Tea Horse Road hide in plain sight, with uneven hoofprints on stone slabs whispering tales of caravan traders from centuries past. The charm of Dongshan Grassland lies in its primal sense of freedom and fresh air. Spread out a picnic blanket and listen to the chime of grazing bells, or wrap yourself in a blanket while waiting for a starry plateau night—time seems to flow much slower here than in the city.

Gaoligong Mountains

4.8/5
62 reviews

The Gaoligong Mountains are located on the west bank of the Nu River and form an important part of the Three Parallel Rivers UNESCO World Heritage Site. "Gaoligong" derives from the transliteration of a Jingpo ethnic family name "Gaoli," with "gong" meaning "mountain" in the Jingpo language—thus, "the mountain of the Gaoli family." Stretching from north to south, the Gaoligong Mountains span Gongshan, Fugong, and Lushui counties in Nujiang Prefecture, as well as Tengchong County and Longyang District in Baoshan City. Gaoligong Mountains National Nature Reserve is home to a variety of rare wildlife and plants, serving as the origin of Yunnan's eight famous flowers. Within the reserve, a giant rhododendron tree, renowned as the "King of Rhododendrons in the World," blooms over 40,000 flowers annually, creating a breathtaking spectacle. Additionally, the Gaoligong Mountains, dotted with cascading waterfalls, snow-capped peaks, and alpine lakes, also feature volcanic hot springs, making it a paradise for photographers and hikers with its stunning scenery.

4.4/5

Tengchong Dieshui River Scenic Area is a natural ecological attraction featuring cascading waterfalls and volcanic geological landscapes. Named after the river's multi-tiered falls formed as it flows through volcanic rock terraces, the layered water cascades create a harmonious landscape painting of movement and stillness, complemented by lush surrounding vegetation. Tengchong Dieshui River Scenic Area showcases remarkable geological wonders. Visitors can walk along the boardwalk to observe the interaction between volcanic rock formations and waterfalls up close—water carves varying depths of gullies into black basalt, while mist creates miniature rainbows in sunlight. The trail combines scenic views with educational elements, featuring interpretive signs that explain how millions of years of geological activity shaped these unique landscapes. Beyond natural exploration, Tengchong Dieshui River Scenic Area incorporates local cultural elements. The viewing platform by the waterfall offers panoramic views of Tengchong's rural landscape, where local villagers often work in the fields during spring and fall, presenting an authentic farming scene. The small cultural exhibition hall within the attraction displays intangible cultural heritage crafts like Tengchong shadow puppets and oil-paper umbrellas. Visitors can participate in simple hands-on activities to experience the delicate preservation of borderland culture. For photography enthusiasts, the Tengchong Dieshui River Scenic Area holds special charm during early mornings or after rainfall. The misty atmosphere creates striking contrasts between the waterfall and volcanic rock textures, making it an ideal setting to capture natural light and shadow. The refreshment break area at the scenic area's exit offers Tengchong specialties like Leixiang tea and pea flour porridge, adding flavorful memories to your visit. Tengchong Dieshui River Scenic Area doesn't pursue grand narratives. Instead, it weaves together geological grandeur with cultural vibrancy, offering visitors a lighthearted nature experience that delights both the eyes and the soul. Perfect for travelers who prefer a slower pace and seek to discover subtle beauty within mountain and water landscapes.

Entering the park directly with the QR code is convenient. Autumn is a very pleasant time to visit Atami. The walk from the entrance to the Big Boiling Pot is shaded by trees, so it's not too sunny. Soaking your feet and eating some onsen eggs is quite nice! 👍

Heshun Ancient Town, located on the ancient Tea Horse Road, is a caravan stop with a romantic atmosphere. Strolling through the alleys under the blue sky and white clouds, or sitting in a coffee shop or teahouse to relax and unwind, is incredibly comfortable.

The wetland is China's only volcanic barrier lake floating carpet type wetland, surrounded by mountains, with beautiful scenery and large meadows floating on the water. Walking along the wooden boardwalk is very comfortable due to its high altitude (1750m) and high negative oxygen ion content, but migratory birds were not observed much.

The scenic area is nice, but personally, I feel the shuttle bus is pointless. It replaces a section of scenic flat road, making the package ticket a waste. The real challenge is the mountain trails; the high altitude makes climbing them especially strenuous.

From late November to early December, Ginkgo Village transforms into a golden wonderland, a dreamlike world for photographers. I was fortunate enough to witness this beauty in mid-November. Almost every household in the village grows ginkgo trees, with the central square being particularly spectacular, especially the King Ginkgo, a witness to the passage of time. In the rustic courtyards, sitting under the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, sunlight filtering through the golden leaves, enjoying ginkgo chicken soup, one can feel the warmth of the countryside. A young villager on a small bicycle took us through every corner of the village, telling us its stories.

Prices are very reasonable: swimming goggles are 18 yuan and swimming caps are 10 yuan. Slippers, towels, toiletries, and waterproof plastic bags for phones are provided. The view is excellent; 27 pools were open that day. Transportation is convenient; bus lines 15, 12, and 5 are right outside. Massage is also very affordable: a one-hour foot massage for 168 yuan, with rooms provided. Rooms are fully equipped and include disposable shorts. You can also change into massage clothes. Tissues, fruit, and face towels are provided in the rooms. The water temperature is very comfortable, making swimming very pleasant.

For those who haven't seen the grasslands before, this is a highly recommended attraction in Tengchong. You definitely need a vehicle to get there; a long-range electric scooter is recommended (private cars are charged 60 yuan). It's cold and windy up there, so be sure to bring extra layers.

What a wonderful day! The tour guide was incredibly warm and kind. Even traveling alone, I didn't feel lonely. The tour was very well-prepared; they took photos for me while we walked and gave me edible wild fruits and medicinal herbs. The meals were also delicious and beautifully presented. Highly recommended!

Heshun Ancient Town has beautiful scenery and is quite large. If you want to see it all, it's best to rent an electric scooter. The hot spring area isn't large, but the service is excellent. It's worth a visit if you have time.

The Dieshui River waterfall cascades like a ribbon, its roar echoing through the valleys, its mist forming rainbows. Hidden within the city, yet possessing the grandeur of the mountains and fields. Gazing at the volcanic cliffs, listening to the roar of the flowing water, one's heart finds peace in the sound of the waves, fully enjoying the wonders of nature.
