🌿【A Must-Visit in Kunming! Complete Guide to the Intangible Cultural Heritage and Local Life of Tea Horse Flower Street】🌿 📍Location: Tea Horse Flower Street, Xishan District, Kunming (Direct access from Exit A of Xishan Park Station on Metro Line 3) ✨【Live Coverage of the Cultural and Tourism Feast】✨ On June 25th, the "Travel and Live in Yunnan, Explore Mountains and Seas" themed event ignited Tea Horse Flower Street! When over 50 top internet influencers focused their lenses on the bluestone-paved road, the lively atmosphere of the century-old Tea Horse Ancient Road collided with the retro vibe of the Republic-era arcade buildings—this place welcomes over 5 million visitors annually, harboring the soul of old Kunming and the trendiness of new Yunnan! 🔥【Three Must-Experience Highlights】🔥 ❶ The Living Intangible Cultural Heritage: Fingertips brush over the texture of leather carvings, tie-dye cloth blooms blue and white ripples in hand, and when the Sichuan opera face-changing master's feather brushes through the crowd, applause startles the copper bells on the eaves~ (Secret tip: You can take home the tie-dye handkerchief you make yourself at the intangible heritage workshop!) ❷ The Yunnan Map on Your Taste Buds: Jianshui tofu bubbles on the iron plate, Dali roasted milk fan wrapped in rose sauce stretches strings, the sour and spicy flavor of Dai-style pounded chicken feet fills the nose—highly recommend the freshly grilled erkuai! Peanut butter mixed with sesame aroma, every crunch is pure carb happiness~ ❸ Immersive Time-Travel Experience: The lion dance team leaps up the stone steps to the drumbeat, Hanfu-clad ladies hold oil-paper umbrellas around the corner, suddenly hearing the sound of the sanxian from a teahouse... For a moment, it feels like stepping onto the set of "A Bite of China"! 📸【200% Photo-Worthy Spots】 ▪️ Republic-era Arcade Corridor: At 4 PM, sunlight slants, the bluestone road reflects carved window lattices, every snap has the same texture as the movie "Youth" ▪️ Rose Mansion Terrace: Order a cup of Yunnan small-grain coffee, sit in a qipao by the cast iron railing, with Dianchi Lake clouds behind you (Qipao rental is right next door!) ▪️ Intangible Heritage Super Workshop: Holding freshly dyed tie-dye cloth in front of wooden racks, the owner says this composition was once praised by a National Geographic photographer~ 🚶‍♀️【Explore Xishan and Dianchi Lake Along the Way】 ▫️ Xishan Forest Park (5-minute walk): Climb Longmen Grottoes to touch the "Kui Xing Dian Dou" stone carving, remember to spread your arms for a silhouette shot overlooking Dianchi Lake! ▫️ Haigeng Dam (15-minute taxi): No black-headed gulls in June, but chasing the Dianchi sunset on a shared bike in the evening is just as romantic as Kamakura! ▫️ Hidden Itinerary: The media group’s next stop is Tiger Leaping Gorge to shoot the sea of clouds, follow the hashtag #TravelAndLiveInYunnanEnjoyHealthyTravel# for live streams! 🏨【Sleep in Yunnan’s Slow Time】 • Tea Horse Garden Resort: Open your window to a courtyard full of roses, the hotel offers free Tea Horse Ancient Road-themed Hanfu, take ancient-style photos in the flowing water courtyard at dawn, and the butler will bring freshly ground small-grain coffee~ • Hua Qianzhu Hot Spring Hotel: A 10-minute drive into the forest, over 20 hot spring pools nestled beside tea fields, soak in the rose pool then enjoy a Dai herbal SPA, fall asleep to insect sounds and starry skies at night (private hot spring pools require advance booking!) 💌【Local Insider Tips】 ✓ The last train on Metro Line 3 is at 22:30; it’s recommended to visit after 17:00 to capture the arcade buildings in sunset light and catch the night market lanterns lighting up ✓ Don’t miss "Yunzi Chess Academy" for souvenirs; handcrafted polished Go stones in rosewood boxes make classy gifts ✓ Street performers appear every Friday and Saturday night; if lucky, you can see live creation of intangible heritage Jiama woodblock prints! 📝Remember this guide and pack the lively atmosphere, cultural flavor, and slow pace of Yunnan all into your travel bag at Tea Horse Flower Street.
