I've visited countless ancient towns, but I'm still captivated by Heshun Ancient Town for the 100th time
I came to Tengchong during the ginkgo season, but what I'm most eager to do is to take a walk in Heshun Ancient Town.
Because I grew up in the water town of Wuzhen and have been to various ancient towns, cities, and villages, my immunity to ancient towns is really strong.
But Heshun is the most special one.
The rice fields here are not props for photo ops,
The old streets and alleys here have real life,
The people here never cater to tourists,
This ancient town on the border, listed in National Geographic,
Is not suitable for tourism, but for living.

⏰Evening
📍Walk to Shuanghong Bridge
Shuanghong Bridge is one of the symbols of Heshun,
Rice fields, lotus ponds, ducks,
Distant mountains and sunset, frog calls and human voices,
The shadow under the laundry pavilion,
The old man with a hunched back,
Heshun at this time is incredibly beautiful.

📍Find an old shop for barbecue hot pot
Coated tofu, potatoes, small melons and various mushrooms,
Are the specialties of Yunnan.
Around the hot pot, the sound of food is especially healing.

📍Must go to the Hundred Year Vegetable Street
Vegetables, fruits and flowers are lined up along the street,
The steam in the breakfast shop is full of people,
Thin bean flour, bait silk must have a share,
This is the morning unique to Heshun.

⏰Morning
📍Heshun Library
After experiencing the hustle and bustle of Heshun,
Come and feel the quietness of this rural library,
Remember to carry your ticket with you, you need to check it when you enter.

⏰Check out at noon
📍Try Cun's roll powder
Secret sauce + first make roll powder,
I haven't eaten it since I left Heshun.

More niche than Dali, quieter than Lijiang.
Tengchong is comfortable all year round, and winter is no exception.
