Mangshi is crowded with people, and I have discovered another treasure city in Yunnan

Hey buddies, today I want to reveal a treasure city that has been gently treated by time—Menglian. It is a low-key giant in China's avocado industry! 👑 Not long ago, I escaped the bustling popular spots and plunged into this untouched land, and now I can't wait to share this tranquility and beauty with you!🏞️ 📍【Impressions of Menglian】 In Dai language, Menglian means 'a good place found,' and it truly lives up to its name. As the cradle of China's avocados, sharing the same sunshine with Mexico, it is spring all year round here, lush and green.🌞 Located in the embrace of Pu'er, Yunnan, Menglian Dai, Lahu, and Wa Autonomous County is a place with stories hidden in its name, waiting for you to explore!🔍 🚗【Travel Tips】 ✈️ Land at Lancang Jingmai Airport, or 🚄 start from Pu'er Station. It is recommended to rent a car and drive through this undeveloped land, free and pleasant!🚗 🏞️【Must-visit Attractions】 1️⃣🏰 Nayun Ancient Town: Step into the last Dai ancient town in China and feel the historical accumulation of 'three cities and two towns.' Whether in the morning light or under the nightfall, Nayun Bridge is a perfect spot for photos.📸 2️⃣🕍 Zongfo Temple: Appreciate the beauty of Buddhist architecture with southwestern charm amidst the lingering Buddhist music.🎵 3️⃣🏛️ Xuanfu Office: Travel back to the Tusi era and witness the unique charm of Han and Dai combined architecture.🏰 4️⃣🗼 Golden Pagoda: The dazzling pearl by the Nanlei River, telling different stories in the alternation of day and night.✨ 5️⃣🌊 Mengma Waterfall: A natural wonder close at hand, with tropical plants accompanying you along the hiking trails, a refreshing lung-cleansing trip not to be missed!🌿 🍽️【Food Recommendations】 1️⃣🍜 Dalian Snack Shop, Zai Shuai Handmade Rice Noodles, and those delicious snacks hidden in the corners of the streets, every bite is the authentic taste of Menglian.😋 2️⃣🥥 Coconut rice opposite the Xuanfu Office, sweet and fragrant, is a great choice to satisfy your cravings.🥥 3️⃣🍢 BBQ lovers, pay attention! Xiao Tao BBQ at the White Sugar Factory, Da Rao BBQ, Mengma Xiaozhai BBQ, navigate to Mengma Town and ask the locals, guaranteed to satisfy your appetite!🔥 ☕【Coffee Time】 In Menglian, coffee is not just a drink; it is a lifestyle. Like keke, Niuka Chacha... every small shop hides a love and dedication to coffee. Especially Lian Sida Spring Coffee, that rich taste can only be appreciated by true coffee enthusiasts.☕ 💡【Travel Tips】 1️⃣ Respect the customs of local ethnic minorities to make the trip more harmonious and beautiful.🙏 2️⃣ Spicy food is a specialty here, so if you can't handle spicy food, remember to gently remind them when ordering!🌶️ 3️⃣ Although Menglian is small, there are plenty of highly rated hotels, so accommodation is not a problem.🏨 4️⃣ Avocado lovers, take note! Late September to March is the best time to enjoy avocados, 10 yuan for 4, achieving avocado freedom is not a dream!🥑 Alright, that's all for my Menglian trip. I hope you can also find your own tranquility and beauty in this sea of avocados!💖
