Warm tips: 1. There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening in Tengchong, with temperatures around 17 degrees in the morning and evening, and about 25 degrees at noon, so bring a light jacket 2. High heels are not suitable for wearing in the ancient town 3. The hot springs in Tengchong are the most famous, so bring a pretty swimsuit

The Gaoligong Mountains, where the Three Parallel Rivers converge, allow one to witness the highest peaks of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. They shield us from the bitterly cold snow, creating a poetic and picturesque spring in Tengchong. The Gaoligong Mountains are not only dear to the Lisu and Nu people but also to every visitor. Known as the 'gene bank of flora and fauna,' the waters here flow around the mountains, nurturing all life on Gaoligong and giving the local Pu'er tea its unique flavor. At first glance, the Gaoligong Mountains seem wild, but upon closer inspection, they are full of human activity. The perpetual mist and the lack of disturbance create an otherworldly feeling of a celestial mountain...

Heshun Ancient Town is a place that visitors to Tengchong must go to show off their photography skills. Here, the sky is as blue as jade, the water as clear as a mirror, and the landscape where the water and sky share the same color might even make immortals linger and forget to return. Nowadays, the beautiful scenery has been commercially packaged, and amidst the hustle and bustle, there is more of a restless commercial vibe. Heshun Ancient Town is like a stream of clear water washing away the murky waters, revealing a cool place beyond the worldly smoke and fire. Heshun leaves an impression of being lively but not ostentatious, simple yet vibrant with life. Rows of old streets are lined with ancient shop signs and wine flags, and the old stone steps beside the spring have seen a season of flourishing lotuses. The ubiquitous flying eaves, the countless flowers and plants, it's hard to say whether this is the south of the Yangtze or a frontier town. Although there are many ancient towns in China, none are as richly adorned as Heshun, where it seems everything you can think of has grown here. Places with mountains and water are filled with spiritual energy, bringing people closer to nature. The Thousand-Handed Guanyin tree and the Liu-Li Ancestral Halls, the Zen sounds from the west and the Eastern charm are all perfectly integrated in Heshun Ancient Town, a place that exudes an atmosphere of inclusiveness and openness.

| Tengchong No Late Hotel. Because we had already booked the long-awaited Heshun Bailian Hotel on New Year's Day, we were no longer obsessed with soaking in the hot springs on our first night in Tengchong. One reason was that we didn't want to be overcharged, and the other was that we didn't want to bathe in fake hot springs that were either adulterated or purely boiler water. We chose a rare local boutique homestay without a hot spring bath - No Late Hotel. 💜No Late is a typical small and beautiful homestay. The main body of the house is a Ming and Qing architecture that is quite common in Tengchong and Heshun, simple and elegant. While maintaining the old as old, the owner spent a high price on soft decoration. The style is a combination of Chinese-style small fresh and American country style. The seemingly contradictory combination is not discordant due to the consistency of the color tone, but rather very photogenic. 💜The service of No Late is very in place. Not only do they pick up from the airport, but they also provide shuttle service to the next hotel on the day of departure, and even provide services such as chartered car and local companion, so we basically did not worry about using a car🚗 locally. The boss is from Chongqing, warm and generous, often inviting us to have tea🍵 and chat, giving us a feeling of being at home. This is the meaning of a homestay. 💜The Mountain View Balcony Private Tea Pavilion room we booked is on the second floor, with better light and view than the first floor. The basic configuration of the room is also above standard, the smart toilet🚽 and washing and care🧴 products all make me quite satisfied. The bathroom water temperature and water volume are very comfortable, the only shortcoming is that the drainage problem of this kind of old-style residence is somewhat unsatisfactory. Overall, the interior of the room is worth the price. 💜If you have already arranged Bailian or Stone Note in your itinerary, it is recommended to stay at No Late, which is quiet in the bustling ancient town, on the day of arrival.
