In a corner of Yunnan, there lies a hidden ancient town far from the commercial hustle and bustle—Heijing Town. It quietly lies in the river of time, silently telling stories of a thousand years. 🏞️ 🚗 Embarking on a journey to explore the ancient, I first chose to drive myself, feeling the freedom and vastness of the road. But if you long for a slower pace of life, you might want to try the green slow train for poverty alleviation. It clatters along, full of the breath of life, with a ticket price of 22.5 yuan. Departing from Kunming in the morning, you can arrive by dusk. Though slow, it offers a unique experience. ⛩ In Heijing Town, the ancient buildings still retain the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, as if traveling through time, allowing one to feel the prosperity of that era. Speaking of food, salt-baked chicken, gray tofu, pomegranate flowers, and more are the local specialties. The craftsmanship at Wu's Restaurant is absolutely unforgettable. 🛏 For accommodation, we chose Yueheng Hotel, which not only offers a comfortable environment but also boasts a prime location, convenient for touring nearby attractions. 🏰 Strolling through the ancient town, Wu's Courtyard, the Confucian Temple, the ancient salt workshop, and Feilai Temple are all must-visit places. Every corner holds traces of time, and every story is soaked in historical atmosphere. Particularly worth mentioning is the Sunday market, which is bustling with activity, allowing one to truly feel the local customs and culture. 📝 Tips: - If you are traveling with a baby, it is recommended to drive yourself to avoid the hassle of waking up early to catch the train, which can be quite tiring. - Once in the ancient town, consider walking to slowly appreciate the scenery along the way, rather than choosing a bumpy horse-drawn carriage. 🌙 At night, the ancient town is brightly lit, offering a unique charm. If time permits, consider staying overnight to experience the nightlife of the ancient town. This is Heijing Town, a place far from the hustle and bustle, where one can find peace of mind.
