M69***91Heshun Ancient Town Travel Guide | Rediscover the slow pace and warmth of life in a remote border town where time stands still
📍 Destination: Heshun Ancient Town, Tengchong, Yunnan
⏰ Best Time to Travel: October to April (mild weather, abundant sunshine, avoid the rainy season)
🚄 Transportation Tips:
Flight: Fly directly to Tengchong Tuofeng Airport. From there, take a taxi or shared ride to the ancient town, about 30 minutes (approximately 50 yuan).
High-Speed Rail/Electric Train: The nearest station is Baoshan Station. Transfer to a bus or chartered car to Tengchong, then continue to Heshun.
🏡 Accommodation Recommendations:
We strongly recommend staying in the ancient town! The deserted cobblestone streets in the early morning and the alleys shimmering with smoke in the evening truly embody the soul of Heshun. B&B Selection:
"Heshun Bailian Hotel": High-end and tranquil, blending a Chinese courtyard with private hot springs, a great choice for budget-conscious travelers.
"Under the Big Locust Tree" and "Liudeng Inn": Small, artistic courtyards with welcoming hosts and affordable prices (200-400 yuan/night).
🚶♀️ Must-See Itinerary (One-Day Highlights):
7:00-8:30 AM | Encounter the Deserted Ancient Town
As the sun rises and the mist lingers, you'll have the ancient town all to yourself. Walk across Shuanghong Bridge and watch the morning light cast across the rice paddies, wild ducks playing in the water, and elderly men walking past with their cows—this is Heshun at its most poetic. 9:00-11:00 AM | Journey through a century of hustle and bustle
Stroll along the main street and visit:
Heshun Library (China's oldest rural library, still filled with books)
Xianfeng Bookstore (renovated from an old house, the aroma of coffee and ink blends beautifully with the scent of ink, perfect for photo ops)
Snack stalls: thin bean powder + fried dough sticks, rice noodle soup, rose cake
12:00 PM | Authentic lunch recommendations
"Cun Da Ma Restaurant" or "Yin's Cuisine": popular with locals, recommend the earthen pot, dajiujia, and fried rice cakes. 40 yuan per person is enough for a satisfying meal.
2:00-4:00 PM | Climb the stone steps and walk the Ancient Tea Horse Road
Climb the stone steps to the Xianhe Wetland Observation Deck for panoramic views of the ancient town; or hike a section of the Ancient Tea Horse Road and listen to the sound of horse bells, a whirlwind of history. 5:30 PM | Sit at the alley entrance and watch the sunset.
Find a small stool at the entrance of the Liu Clan Ancestral Hall, watch the setting sun paint the blue tiles golden, and hear the laughter of children returning home in the distance—in that moment, you'll understand what "time is good and peaceful."
📸 Photography Tips:
Wear a plain or ethnic-style long skirt, and any photo will look like a cinematic masterpiece.
After 6 p.m., when the lanterns are lit, it's the perfect time to capture the night alley's light and shadows.
💡 Friendly reminder:
Admission to the ancient town is free (but you need to purchase a package ticket to enter some attractions, about 55 yuan).
If you're not pressed for time, we recommend staying overnight and then walking through the old street again the next morning to experience a completely different kind of tranquility.
Bring a light jacket, as the temperature difference between morning and night is significant. #HeshunAncientTown #YunnanIn-DepthTourRecommended #YunnanTravel

🌟 ****🍂♨️ "While boiling eggs over the boiling pot in Tengchong's Rehai, I was suddenly blasted with steam! The 80°C geothermal heat told me—even this place has a fiery temper!" Having just returned from this small city in western Yunnan, I'm sharing this 3-day, 2-night, nanny-level guide for over 1,000 RMB per person—experience hidden gems 99% of tourists don't know about! **Day 1: Volcanic Geological Park + Beihai Wetland + Rehai Hot Springs** 🌋 **Hardcore Experience**: Early morning hot air balloon ride overlooking the crater (arrive before 7:30 AM!), followed by afternoon paddling in the Beihai Wetland, unlocking a secret area reminiscent of "Sito"! ♨️ **Soul Healing**: Soak in the hot springs at night (buy a combo ticket for a better deal) and try boiling eggs in the hot springs. The sulfurous smell evokes the wildest flavor of life. **Day 2: Heshun Ancient Town + Ginkgo Village (November Only)** 🏮 **Slow Time**: Drink thundering tea in the 600-year-old town, eat thin bean flour cakes at the early morning market, and enjoy the library's second-floor window frames that frame the entire rice paddy! 🍁 **Golden Blast**: Head to Ginkgo Village in November! Enjoy ginkgo chicken stew beneath 3,000 ancient ginkgo trees, and be drenched in golden showers when the wind blows (remember to wear white/red for photos!) **Day 3: Gaoligong Mountain Light Hike + Return** 🌿 **Unconventional**: Join a local guide on a 3km hike, soak in wild hot springs, pick tree tomatoes, and have a 50% chance of encountering a gibbon!

In Tengchong's winter, such beautiful scenery appears every day, sometimes a crescent moon, sometimes a full moon, the tides change at any time, and people and nature live in harmony. #Autumn Color Palette #Travel Photography Technology Flow #Tengchong Tourism #Yunnan Travel #Yunnan Homestay
The ancient town has a special charm in the rain, so I just rested in the Cloud Water View Coffee Bar for an afternoon. The supervisor of the coffee shop has very high requirements for coffee. If the customer orders hand-brewed coffee, he will also explain in detail the knowledge of hand-brewed coffee, such as coffee beans, grinding degree, and water temperature. His pursuit and love for boutique coffee are revealed in his elegance and calmness like Kung Fu tea.
Tengchong Store Visit|Afternoon Tea|Get the Same Bird's Nest House as in Bali I saw this bird's nest in my friend circle and thought he went to Bali. I asked and found out that it was in Heshun Ancient Town. There is such a beautiful place❗️ The bird's nest is in a homestay and coffee bar in Heshun Ancient Town. The name of the homestay is Huazhushe·Tengchong Heshun Yunshang Time Hot Spring Resort Homestay. The first floor is a café, the second and third floors are homestays, and the bird's nest is on the third floor. 🌿The location of this homestay is very good, right by the Wild Duck Lake, and it is very convenient to go to Heshun Ancient Town. During this special period, there is no need to travel to Bali and queue up to check in at the popular Bird's Nest House. Instead, you can enjoy the lake and mountains with a cup of coffee ☕️ in a relaxed and happy manner~ It is the season when hydrangeas bloom. Clusters of pink, blue and purple hydrangeas are colorful but not gaudy, decorating the surroundings of the Bird's Nest House🌼. Sitting inside, BGM automatically sounds in your ears. This is the feeling of a summer vacation🎐 In addition to the good environment, his afternoon tea products are also super good~ Especially the Starry Sky Three-Gum Soup Set, which contains bird's nest, peach gum and soap beans, as well as various fruits and preserved fruits. It is very tender and smooth when eaten, and it is also good for the skin! Bird's Nest Address: Next to the Wild Duck Lake in Shuidui Village, Heshun Ancient Town, Tengchong, search for "Cloud Water View Coffee Bar" in the navigation Afternoon Tea Price: Starry Sky Three-Gum Soup 128, Handmade Yogurt 12, Ancient Tree Milk Tea 18, about 25 per person~
