Wood, volcanic stone, young architect Hua Li used these most common building materials in Tengchong countryside to build a house in Jietou Xinzhuang Village that would not have appeared in this small village in the remote countryside. Hua Li, graduated from Yale University in the United States and Tsinghua University in China. The village public building, designed by him to be a handmade paper museum, won the American Journal of Architecture in 2012 the "Best Public Architecture Award". In April 2013, the judges of the Akahan Architecture Awards just came here to visit, it was selected from more than 400 buildings around the world, China shortlisted the top 20 of the award only this one... The day we went, the rape blossom outside the glass bloomed just right, through the glass like a vivid oil painting. We met the director of Long Zhanxian, who is already in his 60s. He lived on the top floor of the museum for a long time, where there was a semi-open platform with a set of tables and chairs, the breeze blowing slowly, sweeping the downhill roof, the rape blossoms around him, and the days were too quiet to be true. In Tengchong, a large amount of white cotton paper is used for religious activities every year. In the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism was introduced into Yunnan through Thailand, Myanmar and other places. Tengchong is located in this transmission route. The Buddhist incense is very prosperous. Various texts of scriptures are copied in large quantities. Therefore, hand-copying paper white cotton paper is constantly developed due to excellent paper quality. Because Tengchong is located at the border, adjacent to Southeast Asian countries such as Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand, and a large amount of white cotton paper is also sold to these countries.

    This is the smallest paper mill in the country, but the papermaking process is placed in front of the participants. The raw material for papermaking here is bark, so the paper made is particularly light. This ancient papermaking process hopes to continue.

    Go to this attraction, take a car at Tengchong Ximen Station, 17 yuan. Sit at the boundary head for an hour and a half. Navigate to the museum at the boundary head for a little more than an hour. Baidu map navigation is wrong at the last 1 km. It should be in Xinzhuang place to turn right and look at the local road signs. I turn right at the first picture below.

    I collected this itinerary when I searched Tengchong two years ago. Today it finally arrived, and it was as good as expected. The scenery on the way to Jietou Town is very beautiful. 10,000 mu (later heard that there are more than 200,000 mu) rape field flowers blooming just right, and the Gaoligong Mountains in the distance stand tall, and they stand up in the blue sky. The village where the museum is located is called Xinzhuang, the road is very good, and there is a parking lot outside. In addition to the museum, there are many villagers in the village who own their own homes are ancient paper workshops, you can walk in and visit, it is said that some can also experience papermaking. The village's surname is the big surname. The little sisters in the museum are very good, the introduction is very detailed, and the cultural and creative products purchased are also carefully packaged. In this era of fast living and work rhythms, there is such a group of villagers and craftsmen who are keeping their original intentions and making paper with ancient methods, which is particularly rare. If you don't want to walk around, there is a cafe diagonally opposite, small, but the coffee is very mellow, the boss is a warm and friendly girl, understand coffee cultivation, craftsmanship and brewing, chat with her very comfortable.
