Speaking of Yunnan, the first place that comes to mind is either Dali or Erhai Lake. These places are indeed extremely beautiful, and people always compare them to paradise. Because of this, there are countless tourists visiting every year. We are about to welcome the National Day Golden Week, and today I would like to introduce a place that not only has a rich culture, but also stunning scenery. Most importantly, there are fewer tourists here, so you can enjoy your time freely. This place is Yunnan Tea Horse Road – Pu’er.
Yunnan Tea Horse Road – Pu’er
Yunnan also has a less-known gem, Pu’er City. Located in southwestern Yunnan, it is one of the most important origins of the famous Pu’er tea. “Pu’er tea culture” is also a reason for many people to visit. Pu’er City has many famous historical sites and attractions. The “Eight Scenery of Puyang” – “Dawn Glow at Tiangbi”, “Sunset at Huilong”, “Spring Clouds at Xiandong”, “Autumn Moon at Longtan”, “Orchid Fragrance at Dongling”, “Hot Springs at Xiling”, “Lotus Breeze by the City”, “Bird Path at the Tea Temple” – along with the local customs and traditions of the Hani and Yi ethnic groups, will surely leave a lasting impression on you.
Here, there are various villages, towns, and ethnic villages, maintaining their original style and appearance. The local customs are simple, the commercialization is not too intense, and the food is authentic and affordable. You can also choose to visit tea plantations, enjoy the fun of picking tea, and experience the tea-making techniques firsthand. What’s not to love about this place!
Pu’er Kaiyuan·Small Panda Manor Hotel
There is a very interesting hotel here – Pu’er Kaiyuan·Small Panda Manor Hotel. Located 37 kilometers southeast of Simao City in Pu’er, it is close to the Xiniuping Scenic Spot in Pu’er Sun River National Park. Entering the deep and dense primeval forest, you will find ancient trees, thick vines, birdsong, and monkey cries everywhere. It is a great place to explore and discover the mysteries of the forest.
Here, you can get up close and personal with various wild animals and plants. You can also admire the beauty of the rainforest, experience the ethnic customs, and feel the harmony of nature. Stroll through the rainforest, watch monkeys play, observe bears, admire fish and butterflies, and you can also savor the cultural feast of dance and song from the 14 minority groups that inhabit Pu’er.
Moreover, the most important thing is that the accommodation here is very unique. You can stroll through the forest and return to your cabin in the woods when you get tired. It is very convenient.
