The last pension article I recommended Zhuhai, many people responded well, that is, the price is a little expensive, the house price can not afford to buy, want to find some small counties with good quality and low prices. Then you may wish to look at this small border county in Yunnan, with excellent climate, warm winters like spring, flowers in all seasons, and the cost of living is very low, it is Mangshi.
Located in southwestern Yunnan, bordering Myanmar, Mangshi is the capital city of Dehong Prefecture. The name sounds sunny and scented with melon and fruit, as if it were the place where mangoes grow, and many people mistakenly believe that this place is called mangshi because there are too many mangoes.
In fact, it is not, the reason why it is called Mangshi is because it means "City of Dawn" in Dai, and it has nothing to do with mangoes. However, mango city is indeed rich in mangoes, the local mango is large, sweet taste, whether it is on the street or in the park, there are mango trees everywhere, you can completely think of this place as a "mango city".
For the elderly, only mangoes are not enough. The most attractive thing about Mangshi is that the climate is excellent, and it is livable in all seasons, especially in winter, which is not cold at all.
Mangshi belongs to the tropical climate of South Asia, with an average annual temperature of 20 °C, the coldest January with an average daily temperature of 8 °C and 21 °C, and the highest temperature is above 20 °C almost every day. This climate performance is more comfortable than Kunming, sunny, and can be called a small city without winter.
It is now February, the highest temperature in Mangshi has exceeded 26 ° C, at noon you can wear a short sleeve, and there are many sunny days, the sun is very warm on the body, it is very comfortable to spend the winter here, and many "migratory birds" do not want to leave after the spring.
Summers in Mangshi are also not hot, and from May to August, the average daily maximum temperature rarely breaks through 32 ° C, and on cloudy days it is below 30 ° C. It should be noted that the 30 ° C temperature of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the 30 ° C in the north is not a concept, because the altitude is higher, the air is better, so it is not hot, the air circulation is smooth, there is often a breeze blowing in the mountains, as long as you do not stay in the sun, you will not feel the heat, and you do not even have to turn on the air conditioning in the house.
Compared with popular pension cities such as Kunming and Dali, another advantage of Mangshi is the low altitude. The urban area here is only more than 900 meters above sea level, and it is difficult to find livable cities with an altitude of less than 1,000 meters in Yunnan, and it happens that Mangshi is one of them.
As a county-level city, the buildings here are not high, the population is only 500,000, there are not many high-rise buildings, and the economy is not developed. The façade shops on both sides of the street are dominated by gold, giving people the illusion of a golden splendor of Southeast Asia. The greenery in the city is very good, almost every street is planted with trees, it is not easy to be sunburned in the summer, and the traffic lights and tall coconut trees blend together to remind visitors of the climate here.
As a city dominated by agriculture and tourism, there are not many cars here, but electric vehicles are very common. Locals drive very slowly, encounter zebra crossings will also take the initiative to avoid pedestrians, the folk customs are harmonious and simple, do not like to fight, rarely quarrel incidents occur, safety do not have to worry. And the locals are hospitable, although the dialect is not well understood, but the enthusiasm can be felt from their words.
Compared with the big city, I prefer the tranquility and serenity of the small county, there is not much material desire, only to return to the basics, back to nature and climate, so that the body and mind can get sufficient rest, the body will naturally become much better.
Mangshi people will enjoy life, there are many festivals here, the enthusiasm of locals to participate in festivals is relatively high, such as Songkran Festival, almost the whole people participate, everywhere is full of laughter. There are many local night markets, because it is close to Myanmar, so there are many small goods in Southeast Asia, and outsiders can find a lot of good things when they visit the night market.
Another advantage of Mangshi is the abundance of hot springs. According to statistics, there are more than 20 natural hot springs exposed here, and now they have been developed into hot spring centers, where you can take a bath in all four seasons to fully relax your body and mind. After taking a bath and eating some tropical fruits to replenish water and vitamins, I feel that my skin will be much better, and my body will be full of vitality and become younger.
The urban layout of Mangshi is distributed around the north and south of Mangshi River, golden peacock street runs through the north and south, the main buildings in the urban area are on the east bank of the Mangshi River, if you want to buy a house, you can also choose nearby. The house price in Mangshi is at the middle and lower level of Yunnan, currently around 5,000 yuan, and there are many foreigners in the main force of buying houses, mostly in the northeast and Sichuan.
The disadvantage of transportation is that there is no railway station, and the only way to come is by plane, self-driving and bus, and it is expected that high-speed rail will be opened in 2023 according to the plan. Fortunately, the airport is very close to the city, almost built in the city, from the airport out of the taxi 10 minutes to reach any corner of the city.
There is currently a tertiary hospital in Mangshi, located next to the Sankeshu Bus Terminal, which is also the central location of Mangshi, and if you want to rent a house for winter and short-term health, you can choose this area.
In general, Mangshi is suitable for health care, do not want to settle for a long time can also be a short-term residence, here the four seasons of flowers, warm winter and cool summer, you can live a very moist life. What do you think of Mangshi? Has it "captured" your heart?
