Heqing Ancient Town, a treasure niche attraction around Dali, unpopular and stunning

Heqing Ancient Town is located between Dali and Lijiang. It is an important cultural town on the Tea Horse Road and the famous hometown of springs and pools. Compared with the romance of Dali and the dream of Shangri-La, this comfortable and beautiful town seems extremely low-key. Attraction information: Transportation: Dali👉Heqing High-speed Railway, 1 hour’s journey, fare 64 yuan/about 2 hours by car Lijiang👉Heqing High-speed Railway, 20 minutes by car, fare is 9 yuan/approximately 50 minutes by car Play guide: Departure from Lijiang👉Huanglongtan👉Xilongtan👉Xinhuacun Silverware Town👉Heilongtan👉Caohai Wetland Park👉Return You can also refer to this route when driving by yourself 1. Huanglongtan (viewing ink painting) After arriving at the station, take a taxi directly to Huanglongtan, which costs about 17 yuan. Huanglongtan is a famous summer resort in Heqing County. The water in the pool is clear and reflects the peaks. Walking through it is like walking through an ancient painting. 2. Xilongtan (see the clear water) The water pool here is like natural jasper, crystal clear. Walking by the Longtan, you can see the green mountains faintly covered by the water, appreciate the autumn colors of the trees, and immerse yourself in the poetic time. 3. Xinhua Village Silverware Town (see silverware) Xinhua Village, also known as Yindu Water Town, is known as the "No. 1 Silver Village in China". There are small shops that process and sell silverware along the street. There are few tourists here, but the crisp sound of small hammers hitting silverware is endless. , it’s really atmospheric 4. Black Dragon Pond (appreciating water poplar flowers) Walking north along the Dayang Line, you will reach the Black Dragon Pond. The crystal clear Black Dragon Pond, jade-white seaweed flowers, swimming ducks, blue sky, white clouds, small bridges and pavilions are like a picture scroll. Perfectly showing the pastoral charm of the plateau water town 5. Caohai Wetland (bird watching) This is a paradise for wintering birds in Yunnan. The lake is blue and translucent, the water birds are making waves, and the reeds and the breeze play a cheerful symphony. It is a real plateau water town. If you want to take pictures, it is recommended to come at 10 am / 4 pm, the light and shadow very beautiful Experience review: In Heqing, Dali, every shot you take is a blockbuster! I have to say that the sky in Yunnan is really healing. After traveling to so many places, my favorite is Heqing in Dali. Journey experience: If the charm of Yunnan lies in the beautiful mountains and rivers and the different cultural customs in different places, then Heqing must be the perfect combination of the two. This quiet and peaceful small county has hidden beauty and delicious food that is not inferior to those of major tourist cities.
