@Lantian senior from Shanxi
was jokingly called a travel blogger who couldn't get out of Yunnan by netizens
For two years, he lingered in Yunnan
And Tengchong, he came 7 times
Travel blogger @ Blue Sky Senior
Why do you think Tengchong is amazing?
A small town with a story and a place to live
In this issue, let's find out
↓↓↓
There is such a small city in Yunnan
It was razed to the ground by the artillery of war
But now, it has developed
Yunnan and even the whole country are famous for being a healthy and livable city

Tengchong is located in the southwestern border of the motherland
It has the reputation of "the first city on the extreme side".
Xu Xiake, a great traveler in the Ming Dynasty, traveled all his life
The farthest place I've ever been is Tengchong
It is one end of the "Hu Huanyong Line", the demarcation line of population density on the mainland
Maybe it's because of such a special location
Let Tengchong have both the dual attributes of scenery and humanity

It was born 65 million years ago when the tectonic plate collided
Today, the geographical pattern of the Hengduan Mountains and the parallel flow of three rivers in Yunnan
And Tengchong, which is located west of Gaoligong Mountain
It is the marginal zone where the tectonic plates meet
So since ancient times
Volcanic geothermal heat has always been a key word that accompanies Tengchong

If you are in Tengchong, take off with the hot air balloon
You can enjoy a panoramic view of the volcanic landscape

And when you walk into the hot sea area
Jets along the way to the geothermal holes
and the white mist that permeated the air and the pungent smell of sulfur
You'll really feel like you're coming from beneath the surface
The rhythm and breath of the depths of the earth
You may even associate yourself with being in the presence of a great force of nature
How small human beings are
However, this feeling of palpitations will follow
The moment your body enters the hot springs, it vanishes

Tengchong's hot spring resources are quite abundant
It is the standard configuration of many residential communities
In addition, Tengchong has a mild climate
This makes the concept of a "livable city" deeply rooted in the hearts of the people
In the small town of Beihai Ma Yugu
You can even soak your feet in the hot springs while waiting for the bus
Very pleasant

Every fall
Tengchong Ginkgo Village is golden and beautiful
It has become an excellent photo opening place in the hearts of many tourists

But if you really know Tengchong, you will find out
No matter how beautiful the scenery is, for Tengchong
It's just an appendage to the icing on the cake
Locals will tell you to know Tengchong
There are two other places you must visit
△腾冲茶山
△ Tengchong boundary head flower sea
The first is the National Memorial Cemetery and the Western Yunnan Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall
The steel helmets on the walls of the Western Yunnan Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall
and countless tombstones in the National Memorial Cemetery
It is a silent narration in itself
It resonates strongly within you
It doesn't even matter if you fully understand this history
△ National Memorial Cemetery and Western Yunnan Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall
Inside the current National Memorial Cemetery
The vegetation is lush and the surrounding birds are singing and fragrant
The cycle and power of life are manifested everywhere
Take a stroll through it
You are surrounded by the tranquility of the breeze blowing through the meadows
And the heart must be Jin Ge Iron Horse
Shaken back to the intestines, after several boiling
It feels like only you really know that history
Know the Yunnan-Burma Highway, Hump Route, Songshan Campaign,
The ins and outs of Nanyang Mechanics can only be felt after that
△ National Memorial Cemetery and Western Yunnan Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall
The second place is Heshun Ancient Town
If it is said that the national cemetery expresses the belief of Tengchong people
That Heshun Ancient Town tells the life of Tengchong people
It's just that the historical origins of the ancient town are complicated
As a result, life here is too all-encompassing
You don't stay here for a while
I'm afraid I can't understand the mystery at all
△ Heshun Ancient Town/Heruchen Photography
△ Heshun Ancient Town
Why is this B&B called the Prime Minister's Compound?
Why the town is full of clever construction
A family ancestral hall that combines East and West?
Why is there a saying here that "go to the Yi Fang"?
Why is Ho Thuan known as the hometown of Burmese expatriate?
Is it really profitable to do business with Myanmar?
Why did Heshun build China's largest rural library?
Why was Tengchong City razed to the ground by the artillery fire of the war?
And Heshun, a few kilometers away, can be preserved?
