Heshun Ancient Town

Heshun Ancient Town is located in Tengchung City, Yunnan Province. It is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese in Yunnan. For over six hundred years, Central Plains culture, Western culture, Nanzhao culture, and border culture have blended and collided here, forming a unique culture of overseas Chinese and caravan culture, making Heshun one of the typical ecological culture villages in Yunnan Province. The 'Heshun Shunhe' archway in Heshun Ancient Town was built in 2001. It is a symbolic building of Heshun. The combination of 'He' and 'Shun' in any order is appealing and thought-provoking, ingeniously using the rhetorical device of palindrome to form the combination of 'Heshun Shunhe', which embodies the beautiful yearning for life and good wishes for people. The two characters 'Ren Li' on the back of the archway were written by Zhao Fan, a famous talent in modern Chinese history who once served as the governor of Tengyue. It means that Heshun is a town that values traditional culture and the morals of benevolence and righteousness. The Cun family is the largest family in Heshun Ancient Town, and the Cun family ancestral hall is also the earliest built. It was initiated by the then family leader Cun Guangyuan in 1805. Inside the ancestral hall, there are many exquisite wood carvings, stone carvings, and murals, displaying the superb skills of ancient craftsmen. Yuzhou Pavilion was built to commemorate Mr. Cun Shusheng, the first principal of Yiqun Middle School and former vice president of Yunnan University. Heshun Renjia is a century-old house that was relocated from another place. It was once the private library of Zhang Muxin, a modern merchant magnate in Tengchung and the founder of Hong Kong's Fudian Bank. Now, Heshun Renjia has been converted into a restaurant with a tranquil environment and a strong cultural atmosphere, making it an excellent place to experience Heshun culture and taste Heshun flavors.
