This year, I spent the New Year in a small border town in Yunnan. The experience was really great; the scenery here is beautiful, life is slow, there are many delicious foods, low consumption, and the folk customs are simple. If you are tired of the old popular attractions in Yunnan, then these three relatively niche border towns may be suitable as your next travel destination.
✅【Mangshi】
⭐ Tour route: Menghuan Grand Golden Pagoda (40 yuan) ➡️Menghuan Grand Silver Pagoda (40 yuan) ➡️Mengbanasi Rare Garden (40 yuan)
⏰ Tour time: 1-2 days
⚠️tips:
1⃣️The Golden Pagoda and the Silver Pagoda are together, so you can play together. The Rare Garden is at the foot of the mountain. Some travel apps offer a joint ticket for the Golden Pagoda and the Rare Garden, and the ticket price is relatively favorable, but you should pay attention to the time to avoid not having enough time to play at both points.
2⃣️During major holidays, vehicles will be restricted and you cannot go up the mountain. You can only take the bus to visit the Golden and Silver Pagodas (fare: 2 yuan/trip)
🍱Recommended food place: Best Food City (there are all kinds of food in it)
💚Recommended food stores: Ganying Pao Chicken Feet, Aguji Myanmar Tea Restaurant (Myanmar oil noodles, swaying baba), Menghuan Old Lady (the famous Pao Luda is here, but I personally feel it is too sweet), Lanlu Breakfast (Er Si, Rice Noodles)
✅【Ruili】
⭐Tour route: Single Tree Forest (15 yuan)➡️Jiegao National Gate➡️China-Myanmar Street➡️One Village, Two Countries (40 yuan)➡️Zongfo Temple➡️Dai Palace➡️Moli Primeval Forest Park (Moli Waterfall)
⏰Visit time: 1.5 days
🍱Food recommendations: Myanmar Thai Special Tea Restaurant, Ruili Comprehensive Farmers Market (egg cake, milk tea coffee, beef soup powder, thin bean powder rice noodle)
✅【Tengchong】
⭐Visit route: Heshun Ancient Town (55 yuan) ➡️Volcano Geological Park (35 yuan) ➡️Beihai Wetland (55 yuan) ➡️Rehai (50 yuan) ➡️Simora Wa Village ➡️Yuana Hot Spring (237 yuan)
⏰Visit time: 3-5 days
⚠️tips:
1⃣️The Heshun Ancient Town ticket is valid within 7 days, and you can enter and exit the scenic area multiple times within 7 days. The ancient town is very large, so it is recommended to play for more than one day.
2⃣️Both the Volcano Geological Park and Hot Spring require mountain climbing. If you are not physically fit, you can ride a horse or a hot air balloon or a glider in the volcano; you can take a scenic bus in Hot Spring (10 yuan/single trip)
3⃣️The Simora Wa Village does not require a ticket, but you need to take a scenic bus (20 yuan/person for round trip)
🍱Recommended food stores (because we live in the ancient town, the recommended food stores are all in the ancient town)
Heshun Family Banquet Private Kitchen, Niu Niu Family Copper Porridge Beef Hot Pot, Wumu Liangtian Mushroom Soup Hot Pot
