Beihai Wetland
Just hearing the name makes you feel relaxed. The Beihai Wetland is covered with many reeds, which grow in rows. Boating on the lake feels like being on a vast grassland, except this grassland floats on water. This wonderful experience is hard to describe. Especially around April, when orchids bloom all over Beihai, the beauty is breathtaking.
Rehai Scenic Area
Tengchong is one of the three major geothermal areas in China. It has the largest area of hot springs and the most hot spring eyes in the country, with Rehai Hot Spring being the most famous. As long as you arrive at Rehai, you can feel the continuous hot steam everywhere, which is a stark contrast to the Beihai Wetland. This place is shrouded in mist all year round, resembling a fairyland. The most famous spot here is the Rehai Big Boiling Pot. Just hearing the name, don't you already feel the heat?
Dieshuihe Waterfall
The flowing water of Daying River passes through this place. Due to the surrounding cliffs, the water falls from a high rock of 30 meters, forming this natural wonder. The sound is thunderous, and the splashing water is very spectacular, giving a strong impression of a hidden master from martial arts novels practicing here.
Ginkgo Village
Over ten thousand acres of ginkgo trees bloom throughout the village and the mountains. In late autumn, if you visit Ginkgo Village, ginkgo leaves cover the ground and the village cottages, creating a golden spectacle. Walking along the village paths feels like stepping into a fairy tale world, which is truly breathtaking. The ultimate beauty of autumn is actually the appearance of Ginkgo Village.
Heshun Ancient Town
If you have visited Wuzhen and Zhouzhuang in Hangzhou, you definitely shouldn't miss Heshun Ancient Town. The entire path is paved with bluestone, and the centuries-old buildings resemble a 'dream-building' elder, allowing you to truly experience a slow-paced life here. Rustic, quaint, and far from the hustle and bustle, you will discover that life can be lived in such a way. The most representative establishment in the ancient town is the Mohe Shuxin Hot Spring Hotel, a genuine homestay that is breathtakingly beautiful, like a paradise, making you lose track of time. Living life like a poem is exactly like this.
Manting Imperial Garden used to be the back garden of the Dai King. It is said that the Dai Queen once came here to play, and she was so captivated by the beautiful scenery that her soul was enchanted. Therefore, the Dai people gradually got used to calling Manting Park 'Chunhuan,' which means the source of the soul. Within the 6,000 square meters of black-hearted forest in the park, vines climb and intertwine, exotic flowers and rare trees compete in beauty, creating a colorful and vibrant scene. The lush greenery provides shade in summer, making it cool and pleasant. By the release lake with its rippling blue waves, the green grass and blooming flowers create a perfect spot for leisure and entertainment.
Wild Elephant Valley
The Wild Elephant Valley is densely forested and is a frequent haunt for Asian wild elephants. Many other animals such as wild buffalo, green peacocks, and black bears also reside here. There are daily fixed elephant performances near the south gate of the scenic area, where the adorable elephants dance, walk on a single-plank bridge, and even play football with their trunks, which is very exciting. Inside, there is also an Asian Elephant Museum where you can see elephant skeleton specimens and learn about elephants. Nearby, there are also a Bird Park and a Butterfly Park that can be visited together. The scenic area currently has walking trails, elevated corridors specifically for tourists to watch wild elephant activities, tree hotels, forest bars, and other facilities.
Mengyuan Wonderland
Here, you can experience the unique charm of Dai culture, the spectacular beauty of thousand-year-old rainforests, and the magnificent appearance of constant-temperature caves. Tired of the crowded tourists and cookie-cutter internet-famous shops in scenic spots? The ancient and quiet Dai village of Chengzi offers a unique Dai cultural experience, where you can personally witness the sacred knife ceremony, participate in grand festival celebrations, and enjoy authentic Dai cuisine in a tranquil dining environment away from the hustle and bustle. How could anyone not like it! The majestic waterfall clusters are refreshing, and the ancient tea tree areas inspire awe for these millennia-old lives. The craftsmanship of Dai knives, Dai brocade weaving, and the slow-wheel pottery technique that has been used for over four thousand years will open your eyes. Mengyuan Wonderland is indeed a great place to visit, retaining a peaceful and serene atmosphere and authentic local customs, like a paradise on earth.
Peacock Manor
Peacock Manor, located in the Xishuangbanna Primitive Forest Park in Yunnan, is designed and built as a resort manor. The peacocks here are artificially raised and very friendly. Every day, there is a peacock feeding performance. Under the singing of the caretakers and the melodious accompaniment of the hulusi (a traditional Chinese musical instrument), the peacocks fly from the other side of the lake to this side, chasing the caretakers and waiting for food.
