Baoshan, a small border town and a thousand-year-old ancient town, is worth your stay.

Baoshan is the transfer station from Kunming to Tengchong. Its "upstream and downstream cities" are very popular and famous, such as Tengchong, Dali, and even Mangshi and Ruili. However, Baoshan seems to have no sense of existence. Everyone rushes to Dali. Tengchong, would not choose to stay here. The people I met, including the innkeepers in Tengchong and Mangshi, said there was no need to stay here and there was nothing interesting to do. Even when I took a taxi in Mangshi, the driver from Baoshan said the same. But I don’t believe in evil. When I returned to Kunming from Mangshi and transferred through Baoshan, I chose not to believe in evil and stayed one night in Baoshan. The moment I set foot on the land of this small town, I knew I was in the right place. I have to say that this small town knows how to relax. The climate is more comfortable, cooler and more pleasant than Mangshi and Ruili. Now I have to wear long pants and a jacket when going out. . Riding a small tram, I immersed myself in the sense of relaxation that this small town brought me. This sense of relaxation is different from Tengchong, because there is almost no commercialization in Baoshan. It gives you a natural sense of relaxation that radiates from the inside out, conveying peace, calmness and openness to you like a good temptation. Just like your best friend, you won't feel awkward if you don't talk face to face, but comfortable and comfortable. From Tengchong, to Mangshi, to Ruili, to Baoshan, all the way back, this line is really delicious, and the tastes in each place are different. As soon as I stepped into Qinglong Street, I had a serving of pounded chicken feet, which was sour and delicious. The small skewers on the roadside were also unexpectedly amazing. It was paired with Banqiao Lafite (papaya water, sour and sweet taste, which the locals call Lafite is very comfortable! The merchants here are very Buddhist. It's up to you whether you want to buy something, whether you want to pay for it, and how much you want to pay. There are several unattended stores like the ones in Figure 4. There are more than a dozen intangible cultural heritage shops in Qinglong Street. I walked into a century-old teahouse, which still retains the ancient way of making tea, with firewood stoves, old tables and chairs, and unlimited refills for 3 yuan. Opposite the teahouse is a non-heritage teahouse. The tangible cultural heritage snack shop, Guixianglou, costs 14 yuan for a bag. I drank tea and had snacks at the teahouse, with stir-fried sugar, which was very comfortable. I have been to many ancient towns, and Banqiao Ancient Town must be the one with the most elderly people. They share a table with me to eat skewers and drink Baoshan Lafite (papaya water). They eat snacks in teahouses, listen to "Chengdu" in taverns, and This is the first time I have seen a movie and gathered together to chat in an ancient town. It’s 10:30 in the middle of the night, and many elderly people are still doing nightlife. I think this must be a charming small town to be like this. Time flows slowly here. The tea table fee is 3 yuan per person with unlimited refills. The skewers are 1 yuan per skewer and are amazing. There is no boss in the juice shop and you can do whatever you want... A small border town and a thousand-year-old ancient town, Baoshan is worth your stay.
