山岛美玉Banna is overly commercialized, and many of the scenic spots weren't appealing to us. After researching our itinerary, we discovered Pu'er was easily accessible, so let's go! 🛫
Banna-Pu'er: There are plenty of high-speed trains, but as a local, we still bought round-trip tickets in advance.
We headed out immediately after arriving at the hotel. 👉 Authentic Yangji Pu'er Sour Vinegar Rice Noodles are delicious and filling—definitely order the small portion! The rice noodles are cooked in a clay pot, and everything else is self-service. The vinegar is made in a jar and is so delicious I wanted to take some home. The driver said this place has been around for years, and the food is authentic. The overhead fan and the occasional cool breeze were truly delightful in the sweltering heat.
After dinner, I wandered around the area and stumbled upon a vintage shop on P2. It's quite a gem. I bought a ring I really liked there, and the photos I took at the entrance were also stunning.
[Daijiaxiang]: Well-preserved residential buildings. I highly recommend stopping by [Yicaoxiangzi] for a stroll. They've retained their original architectural style and added some vintage pieces. We sipped coffee and daydreamed upstairs while the grandparents played cards downstairs. It was so relaxing. There's even crafts to do in the back.
We were originally heading to Julie's photo spot, but the torrential downpour made it impossible to move! It looked like a wall inside a work unit. I didn't see it, but I wouldn't recommend it because you'd have to take a taxi there.
I highly recommend the sour papaya at [April Asakusa Breeze]. It's really delicious, different from Mixue's lemonade. It's sweet and sour, and I love it. Those who don't like sweet drinks ordered standard sugar, but it was a bit too sweet at the end. I recommend opening stores nationwide.
[Ziyuan Coffee Factory] We looked at several coffee factories and couldn't decide which one to choose. In the end, we chose this one, and we loved it. But Niuma actually pulled out his computer to work while it was so chill.
[Oven-baked Pizza] is a must-try. The crust is soft and crispy, and delicious. For those who love alcohol, you absolutely have to try the [Whiskey Coffee]. It has a light whiskey flavor, and I loved it. I even bought whiskey coffee beans and drip coffee after I got home. The Americano is super cute—I don't know what variety it is, but I was so tempted that I stole our pizza! Hahahahaha
Pu'er is small, so accommodations are convenient. Taxis are affordable, and you can even get around by electric cart.
