On November 27, 2020,My traveling friend "Lao Chen Boy" and I started our trip to western Yunnan with the group. The itinerary is simple and can be divided into three stages: first, Mang City, Ruili, and Tengchong. The second is the Nujiang River Grand Canyon and the Dulong River. The third is Weishan, Nanjian and Wuliang Mountain.

Since we were starting from Dali, we flew from Shanghai to Kunming first.

Flight to Kunming

November 28:

Today is assembly reporting day. Take the high-speed train to Dali early in the morning. Because the tickets were sold out last night, I didn't want the 145-yuan ticket, so I only bought 60 yuan for this trip.Arrange your own trip to Dali for the day: first visit the ancient city, then climb Cangshan, then visit the Three Towers of Chongsheng, go to the shrine Wharf, and stroll along the shores of the Erhai Lake. At night, watch the night view of the ancient city.

The landmark building of the ancient city "Wuhua Building"

Visit the museum. Dali City was originally the capital of Nanzhao State and Dali State. It was re-entered into the territory after the Ming Dynasty. It has a long history and profound cultural heritage, so there are many attractions.

Landscape in the ancient city

"Without Cangshan, there is no Dali." Cangshan is a destination for this trip. If you hire a taxi from the south gate, you can take a taxi to Cangshan Gantong Temple Cable Car Station for more than 20 yuan.

Gantong Temple, located halfway up the mountain, was naturally stolen.

The autumn scenery on the mountain is picturesque

Cangshan Grand Canyon

There are three cable car lines in Cangshan, and we choose to take the cable car through the sense. This is the scenery of Cangshan and Erhai Lake seen on the cable car

After getting off the cable car, I took a taxi with a wallet of 30 yuan to the nearby "Three Pagoda Temple of Chongsheng".

Revisit "Three Towers of Chongsheng Temple"(I finally found a pool to take reflections, but I didn't know that there was also "Reflection Park"?)

After leaving Santa Temple, I wanted to take a walk along the Erhai Sea. I randomly ordered a shrine dock and called a Didi car to leave. I actually made the right choice.

This is the Erhai Lake Lakeside Promenade with a very nice scenery!

November 29:

Today I met with four other tourists, one couple from Zhuhai, Guangdong, and the other couple from Qingdao, Shandong. There are two drivers, with the surname He and Naxi nationality. A nine-seater car officially began an 11-day tour of western Yunnan.

runThe first stage will include scenic spots in Mang City, Ruili and Tengchong. The car was walking along the Hangzhou-Ruizhou Expressway and wandering in the mountains almost all day. The weather was wonderful. Shanghai had not seen it for days in cold and cold weather, giving it a tropical scenery.

The first scenic spot,"Tree Wrap Tower", was an ancient tower in the Qianlong era, which was wrapped around Bodhi trees. It is a spectacle.

"Meng Huan Da Pagoda" was built on Leirang Mountain. Meng Huan is another name for Mang City. According to legend, Buddha Sakyamuni once practiced here. Rebuilt in 2004.

Ruili's "Lone Tree in a Forest" scenic spot next to the national highway. (There is also a scenic spot with a single tree and a forest in West Shuangbanna)

The dove occupies the nest, and the tree is parasitic.

November 30:

Last night, I stayed at Shenglinxuan Hotel in Ruili and searched for dinner. Today, we will visit some nearby attractions, including Jiegao Gate, Yizhaizhongguo, and Moli Tropical Forest Park, and then turn back to Tengchong.

Early morning in the small border town of Ruili City

Bridge across national borders

Guomen------Sister Gao

One country and two villages are a typical village and a geographical wonder of the two countries. The border divides a Dai village into two. The one on the Chinese side is called Yinjing and the one on the Myanmar side is called Mangxiu.

This is a scenic area

There are also indigenous residents

The scenic spot of "One Village, Two Countries" bears witness to the deep love between China and Myanmar.

"Mori Tropical Forest Park" is not far from the G320 National Highway and has a large area. The scenic area is a primitive ecology: trees drill into the sky, flowers are in full bloom, waterfalls and springs, and the air is fresh. It is a combination of tropical rainforest valleys, rainforest vegetation and waterfalls and streams. The experience value exceeds my expectations.

This is actually the place.

Mori Falls

Yunnan is a plant kingdom. I have seen many tropical plants here, and the streams and waterfalls here are also very spectacular.

The Longjiang Bridge is a traffic control project in southwest Yunnan. It is a super-large bridge with a total length of 2470 meters and a tower height of 170 meters. It is very spectacular and cannot be photographed because it cannot be approached. (Below is a canyon and abyss)

The car crosses the Longjiang Bridge

Jiangdong Ginkgo Village Scenic Area is located 37 kilometers north of Tengchong Urban area, close to the National Volcanic Geopark. The scenic area includes four natural villages: Chenjiazhai, Baxin, Jiangyun and Sihe, and has more than 10,000 acres of natural contiguous ginkgo forest. It is famous for more than 30,000 ginkgo trees. When we went there, the scenic spot was crowded with tourists.

It was already late when we arrived in Ginkgo Village, but the intoxicating scenery of "the village in the forest, the trees in the home, and the people in the painting" made people want to move and couldn't stop.

December 1:

Yesterday, I stayed at the Heze Garden Inn in Chenjia Village. Free activities in the morning and departure at 11:00. We used this time to travel through the streets and alleys of the core area and take many photos, which gave people the feeling that there was gold everywhere and the city was full of gold armor. There are many attractions to see today. The nearby "Volcano Park" has been closed for rectification due to yesterday's accident. In the afternoon, we will visit the "Western Yunnan Anti-Japanese Memorial Hall" and the Dieshui Waterfall, and then go to Heshun Ancient Town to stay.

Ginkgo Village has unique scenery and well-deserved reputation, which is impressive.

In the afternoon, we visited the "Western Yunnan Anti-Japanese Memorial Hall" and visited the "War Cemetery". In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War in Yunnan, it organized the Yunnan army to rush to the Songhu Battlefield. During the Anti-Japanese War, it guarded the rear area and organized an expeditionary army, writing an epic chapter in history. Today, many young compatriots, holding yellow flowers in their hands, bowed in front of the martyrs 'tomb, observed a moment of silence, and expressed their respect and grief. They were very moved. If young people are strong, China will be strong. May the motherland prosper year after year.

Nearly 10,000 anti-Japanese soldiers were buried in the National War Cemetery, most of whom were teenagers under 20. I was very moved!

Tengchong Dieshui Scenic Area is located 2 kilometers west of the city. When the Dieshui River flows through it, it suddenly encounters a cliff. The river water falls from a height of 46 meters into the deep pool below. The sound is like thunder and the water is splashing everywhere, forming a 'No need to bow and shoot, flowers are self-dispersed "landscape.

This is a unique waterfall in the city. Walking, looking back, I actually entered the Canyon Waterfall Scenic Area.

Heshun Ancient Town is not far from the urban area. It is one of the ancient towns signed by China, with more than 6000 people in the town. However, there are more than 12,000 registered overseas Chinese compatriots, and it is also the hometown of overseas Chinese signed by the name. Because it advocates farming poetry and books, and the government is harmonious and harmonious, the scholars and the people are selected to be harmonious.

The ancient town is surrounded by mountains and lakes, surrounded by wetlands, and has excellent terrain. In addition, the building has unique national characteristics. It is built against the mountains with scattered heights and heights, forming a very beautiful landscape painting.

December 2:

In addition to the ancient town, today's tour will also go to the Rehai Scenic Area in Tengchong, and then to Lushui City, the capital of Nujiang Lisi Autonomous Prefecture, to stay. At eight o'clock, it was just dawn, and we went out to collect wind. Headed west last night, facing east today. The trail promenade, Longtan, Yuanlong Pavilion, Li's Ancestral Hall, Liu's Ancestral Hall, and Aisiqi Memorial Hall were all captured.

At sunrise, the beautiful scenery continues.

Li's ancestral temple is classical and solemn.

The streets of the town have a strong commercial atmosphere.

At noon, the car arrived at the "Rehai" scenic spot. Because there are many volcanoes around Tengchong, many hot springs have been derived, and Rehai is one of them. Geothermal activity is frequent here, and many hot springs are densely distributed in the ravine, with temperatures as high as 100 degrees. There are also many gap fountains. Near the valley, steam is steaming everywhere, especially the big rolling pan. The raw eggs will be cooked in a while, which is also a highlight.

In the sulfur pool, the air is full of the smell of rotten eggs.

Gestaps, fountains can reach several meters and spray every few seconds.

Leaving Tengchong, going to Baoshan, crossing the Lancang River, and entering Provincial Highway 230, you will be the Lisi Nujiang Autonomous Prefecture.

When the car passes Lushui City (also known as Liuku Town), the lights are on first.

We stayed at the "Haodu Century Hotel" under the viaduct

November 3:

Today, we will travel along the Nujiang River CanyonGoing north, you pass Fugong and Gongshan and finally reach Bingzhongluo, the northernmost part of Yunnan. The journey is also the longest. The car travels deep into the Grand Canyon, with Gaoligong Mountain on the left and Biluo Snow Mountain on the right. On both sides of the Nujiang River, there are villages deep in white clouds along the way, nearby springs and waterfalls, and iron chain suspension bridges flash before your eyes... Tourism is on the way.

November 4:

Today I will stay in Bingzhongluo for a day. Bingzhongluo Town is located at the northernmost tip of Yunnan Province, and beyond it is Chayu County in Xizang. This is also the only way to enter Tibet and Deqin. Unfortunately, a few kilometers away from the Xizang checkpoint, I accidentally encountered a road construction. I couldn't wait and had to return.

The attractions I want to visit today are Shimen, Wuli Village, and Qiu Netong.

In the early morning of Bingzhongluo, the clouds and mist are ethereal, like a dream, and like a fairyland.

shimenguan

Wuli Village is on the other side of the river. The village is not big and there is a iron chain bridge leading to the other side. According to travel friends, we have to go early in the morning. At this time, the fog on the river is shrouded in the top of the village. It is hidden and visible, and it is the best to see. Unfortunately, the two drivers are not experts in photography. They just dragged you here and it's over. There is also an ancient tea-horse road leading to Xizang. It is built next to the mountains and is very dangerous.

Driving further up, not far away is "Qiu Nadong". In Nu and Lisi languages, the bucket means peace, peace, and when extended, it represents a place where people live. This is the heart of a mountain, with large chunks of green wilderness exposed in its chest and abdomen, hanging towers and stone houses, as if stepping into a fairytale paradise outside the world.

Today, we were going to the mysterious Dulong River. Before leaving, the driver said that the road was difficult and nine-seater cars could not pass through. He had the intention of not going. After many negotiations, his doubts were finally dispelled. In fact, the road is really easy to walk (maybe the reason why the tunnel is opened)

Dulong River is on the other side of Gaoligong Mountain. To the east is Gaoligong Mountain and to the west is Danlika Mountain. It forms a world wonder where the four rivers flow in parallel here. Because of the traffic congestion and the unique landscape, it has also become a place where travelers compete to check in. place.

The recent snowfall has made it even more enchanting.

After four or five hours of driving, I finally arrived at a place called Pukawang. In fact, Pukawang is a tourist distribution center. When the car arrives here, the driver rests and the passengers tend the sheep.

November 6:

I didn't go to Longyuan Village, I didn't see the tattooed girl, and it was late when I returned to Gongshan County. I checked into Suyun Hotel with regrets and went to collect the scenery early in the morning. On the edge of the Nujiang River, the cliff stone carvings were circling around.Today I will return to Zhiziluo, Lao Mudeng.

Gongshan County Jiangbian Square

Near the Shiyue Service Area

Zhiziluo used to be Bijiang County, and the Lisi Autonomous Prefecture was established in 54 and is the seat of the state government. In 1974, the state government relocated and became a deserted city. Therefore, if you wanted to see the architectural style of the 1960s and 1970s, this place became a living fossil. However, I think the history and scenery here are superior.

Towns built on high mountains

Markets still exist, and the past days were really difficult.

The road across the canyon is more difficult than the Shu Road (photographed by climbing to the top of the toilet)

Abandoned and deserted houses

Lao Mudeng is Nu language, meaning Purple Bamboo Land. It is located on the hillside on the east bank of the Nujiang River, not far from Zhiziluo. The scenery here is beautiful, and the entire village is like a farmhouse, with hostels and residential houses everywhere. We stayed in the "Shanju Gega Inn", which was a mountain view room. Sitting on the balcony, we had a panoramic view of the entire Nujiang River Canyon. In the evening, six donkey friends had a dinner nearby and had a stewed old hen, which was enjoyable.

Today, I will leave Lao Mudeng and go to the ancient city of Weishan in Dali Prefecture. The car follows the Nujiang Grand Canyon, passes Lushui, and passes Dali. The only attraction on the way is the famous "Bathhouse Meeting".

Weishan Ancient City is the capital of Nanzhao State and later moved to Dali City. This is the birthplace of Nanzhao State and there are many things to see. Stay overnight at Weishan Menghua Hotel.

You can see public housing houses relocated from other places all the way

Sightseeing trails are under construction

Driving through Lushui City brings a new atmosphere.

Especially when I was close to Weishan, the land stretching for several kilometers was the most fertile land in Yunnan I had ever seen and the most beautiful pastoral scenery.

Weishan Ancient City is located in Weishan County City in the south of Dali. It is also known as Nanzhao Ancient City. It was the early capital of Nanzhao Kingdom. The buildings in Weishan Ancient City are well preserved, including Gongchen Tower, Xinggong Tower, Xuanzhu Temple, etc. Historical relics with southwest characteristics can be said to be a museum of the ancient Nanzhao country. Its streets are first-class.

This is the magic palace of nature's sculpture, as if entering a magical and unpredictable fairyland. Not charging tickets is also a must.

It is like a sheng and a curtain, and it is wonderful.

Wuliang Mountain Cherry Blossom Valley is located in Wuliang Town, Nanjian County, Dali Prefecture. The average altitude is 2175 meters. From November to December every year, tens of thousands of winter cherry blossoms planted in tea gardens bloom competitively, forming a fairyland on earth with thousands of trees, red and green spots.

It's still a little late (the buds have withered)

November 9:

Today is the last day of the group tour. I will go to Wuliang Mountain to take the sunrise before dawn, and then go back to the hotel for breakfast. Arrive in Dali at about 2 p.m. to break up the group.

Our flight is from Kunming to Shanghai on the evening of the 10th, which means that we have one day available. We set our next target at Shuanglang Ancient Town, Dali.

The mountains are full of red

As the sun rises, the cherry blossoms are even more red and lovely in the dark green tea garden.

After arriving in Dali, some of the group members flew back to Qingdao on the same day, and some participated in the second trip. We took a shuttle bus from Dali North Passenger Station to Shuanglang Ancient Town and stayed at the "Warm Spring and Blooming Seaview Inn". It is very popular to live in a sea view room for 164 yuan.

After checking in, go to Yuji Island and other places. This is the best time. Shuangkuo Town is worthy of being the best resort!
