Enjoy forest hiking, hot spring healing, and a fusion of diverse cultures in a warm 25-degree winter—this is the right way to spend your winter break! 📍 Warm Winter Secret: Peacock Mountain (Mengyunzu) Located in Ximeng County, Pu’er City, Yunnan, it is the sacred mountain in the hearts of the Wa people on the China-Myanmar border. There are no noisy tour groups here, only endless tea mountains, dense primeval forests, warm hot springs, and mysterious Wa culture. Winter is the dry season, with clear blue skies every day and maximum comfort. 🌳 Three-Part Warm Winter Family Experience: 1. Explore the “Longmoye” Sacred Site (Cultural Shock): “Longmoye” means the dwelling place of many gods in the Wa language. Entering the valley, thousands of ox skulls hang on the cliffs and treetops, creating a solemn and awe-inspiring scene. This is not scary but a profound respect of the Wa people for nature and their ancestors. Tell your children about Wa folk legends in advance; it will be a vivid lesson in cultural diversity. 2. Forest Hiking, Encounter the “Ancient Tea Horse Road”: Follow well-maintained trails through dense subtropical rainforest. The air is filled with the fragrance of plants, and along the way, you can see various ferns, orchids, and towering ancient trees. Some sections are remnants of the ancient Tea Horse Road, where you and your kids can look for horse hoof prints and imagine the legendary horse caravans. 3. Cliffside Hot Springs to Relieve All Fatigue: At the foot of the mountain, the “Ximeng Xikang Yun She Health Resort Hotel” features a natural cliffside hot spring pool! Soak in the steaming water facing the deep valley and watch the clouds roll by. There is a special children’s pool with a suitable temperature, allowing kids to safely enjoy the ultimate warmth and relaxation in winter. 🏨 Accommodation and Itinerary Suggestions: Highly recommend staying at the “Ximeng Xikang Yun She” mentioned above. The hotel is designed with strong Wa ethnic style, like a mysterious castle on a cliff. All rooms face the valley sea of clouds and come with private soaking pools. Packages often include hot springs and hiking experiences. Itinerary: Plan for 2-3 days. Day 1: Arrive and soak in the hot springs to acclimate; Day 2: Full day exploring Longmoye and forest hiking; Day 3: Visit nearby Mengsuo Longtan (a beautiful lake) or Ximeng County town to visit the Wa Museum and gain deeper insight into this “childhood of humanity” ethnic group. 📌 Key Information and Tips: Transportation: Fly to Pu’er or Lancang Jingmai Airport first, then drive or charter a car to Ximeng (about 2-3 hours). The mountain roads are winding but in good condition. Clothing: Wear a single layer plus a jacket during the day; add a thin sweater or fleece for mornings and evenings. Wear non-slip, comfortable shoes for forest hiking. Food: Try Wa specialty dishes such as Wa King Feast, chicken with rice, and sour bamboo shoot fish stew—unique flavors worth tasting.
