I was in Tengchong "Teng Teng Zhen," almost went to Myanmar

Due to time and ticket price premiums, I chose to take the high-speed train to Nanning East on Friday evening after work. At Langxi Night Market, I had a rib, tried some grilled native pork skewers, and "suo" a bowl of old friend rice noodles! Arrived at Kunming South at noon the next day (I was stupid buying the ticket here; I should have bought a ticket to Kunming South, which is much closer to Kunming Old Street) and officially started my western Yunnan trip! There were still 10 hours before the flight (Kunming Changshui to Mangshi), enough time for me to stroll around Kunming: 🚝 Day 1, November 15: Kunming 📍Duiyuelou ➡️ Kunming Old Street ➡️ Aocheng Building Sky Eye ➡️ Cuihu Park (enter from East Gate, exit from West Gate) ➡️ Army Lecture Hall ➡️ Haigeng Dam ➡️ Haigeng Park ➡️ Kunming Changshui Airport 🔚 🚝 Day 2, November 16: Mangshi 📍Xinwan Factory Night Market (after arriving at night) ➡️ Lanlu Breakfast ➡️ Bingwu Street Weimin Market ➡️ Shubaota ➡️ Tuanjie Street ➡️ Puti Temple ➡️ Zhenqi Garden ➡️ Golden Pagoda, Silver Pagoda ➡️ Rongrong’s Hair Wash ➡️ Best Food City 🔚 💦 Mangshi is very small, and the attractions are close to each other. You can visit them all in one day with an electric scooter! We left Mangshi at 5 PM to head to Ruili! 🚝 Day 3, November 17: Ruili (From Mangshi to Ruili, you can book a ride with "Dian Yue Travel." The driver will contact you one hour before departure. It’s a seven-seater business vehicle, about 1 hour from the city center to Ruili city center, 💰70 RMB per person) 📍 Night of the 16th: Jiegao Port ➡️ Duty-Free Shop ➡️ Ruili Live Pan Crab ➡️ Nongmo Lake Night Market 🔚 📍 17th: Yuanyuan Breakfast ➡️ Jiedonglai Banyan King ➡️ Bianzai Hansha ➡️ One Village Two Countries ➡️ Ruili Ancient City ➡️ China-Myanmar Market ➡️ Jiele Golden Pagoda ➡️ Zongfo Temple 🔚 💦 The attractions in Ruili are quite spread out. You can ride an electric scooter to One Village Two Countries and Ruili Ancient City; there’s no traffic jam, about half an hour. The Great Buddha Temple and Mori Tropical Rainforest are on the other side; the Great Buddha Temple is also about half an hour by scooter. For Mori Tropical Rainforest, it’s recommended to take a taxi, but if the battery is enough, riding an electric scooter is also possible! In Ruili, I chose "Bendi Electric Scooter" 💰36 RMB/24 hours, delivered to your door. If the scooter runs out of power, you can ride it back to the shop to exchange it. Day 4: Tengchong, from Ruili to Tengchong 💰135 RMB per person, 2 hours. 📍 Heshun Ancient Town ➡️ Beihai Wetland ➡️ Volcano Park ➡️ Ginkgo Village ➡️ Tengchong Pedestrian Street 🔚 📍 Day 5: Qiluo Ancient Town Morning Market ➡️ Rehai Scenic Area ➡️ Dieshui River Waterfall ➡️ National Martyrs Cemetery 🔚 💦 Tengchong is great, but not very traveler-friendly. Every attraction charges an entrance fee, and the distances between attractions are far. The most famous Ginkgo Village surprisingly has no direct shuttle... When choosing Tengchong Airport for flights, be very cautious. Even a little rain cancels flights, and the airport arranges free buses to Baoshan Airport, which takes more than two hours... What I miss most about Yunnan besides rice noodles is that plate of choy sum!

Stopping by to give a shout-out to this accommodation in downtown Kunming. A 100 sq m apartment with 2 bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 bathroom, complete with a tea table and kitchen equipment. Central location, near shopping malls, all major tea brands, pastry shops, markets, convenience stores, the ancient street, and the Kunming pedestrian street. The accommodation is in the same building as Atour Kunming, giving a homey feel. The bedrooms have heated electric mattress toppers. No air conditioning, but you can open the windows for a nice breeze. Booked through trip.com. I will definitely stay there again. 📌 Quicheng Zhiyue Homestay Room type: 2 bedroom and 1 living room suite with city view New Era Plaza, 99 Dongfeng West St ❤️ Close to shopping, markets, food, and affordable accommodation. Limitations: The bathroom is small, doesn't have a separate wet and dry area, and isn't as spotlessly clean as a 5-star hotel; it feels like a typical home, but clean and comfortable enough.
