Before setting off, what fun things are there to do in Heshun? After arriving, it's truly delightful!
I've visited dozens of ancient towns, if not hundreds, but Heshun is the only one that made me exclaim, 'This is what a real ancient town is like!' It has the least commercial atmosphere and the most human touch, no wonder it's rated by 'National Geographic' as a must-visit ancient town.
Without further ado, here's a detailed 3-day, 2-night guide to Heshun Ancient Town for you to keep!
🚘Transportation:
From Dali to Tengchong, there's no high-speed train. It's recommended to use 'Dian Yue Travel', costing 168—188 yuan, with selectable seats, in a 9-passenger business van. It takes just 4 hours.
🎫Ticket: 55 yuan (valid for 7 days), if you don't want to visit the ancient town attractions, you can also choose to enter before 8 am or after 8 pm. I was quite resistant to this ticket before coming, but after touring around, I found that the ancient town is indeed large, and if you want to gain a deeper understanding of its history, it's worth buying a ticket.
🌺Attractions to Check In:
❶Crossroad Morning Market: A display of the human touch, with small vendors setting up stalls every morning, mainly selling vegetables, fruits, meats, snacks, and some daily necessities. Go early, as they pack up around noon.
Navigation: Heshun Shopping Center.
❷Heshun Alleys: Quiet and leisurely, great for taking photos by the river.
❸Zhongtian Temple: The highest point of the ancient town, offering a panoramic view.
❹Thousand-Hand Guanyin Ancient Tree Group: Consists of 7 towering century-old camphor trees, lush and intertwined, resembling the Thousand-Hand Guanyin from afar.
❺Wild Duck Lake: The lake is vast, and I was lucky to see egrets.
❻Shuanghong Bridge: Next to it, villagers wash clothes in the laundry; outside, there are wheat fields, and the rapeseed flowers are blooming this season.
❼Bailian Hot Springs: Booking online costs 230 yuan, but you can get a better deal if you ask the innkeeper to book for you. There are about 10 outdoor pools, in a nice setting.
🍝Food to Check In:
✔Cun's Rolled Rice Noodles: A must-try, truly delicious! 3 yuan
✔Grandma Yang's Thin Bean Powder: Made from ground soybeans, only served for breakfast, and even I, who am picky, finished a large bowl in one go. Eating it with deep-fried dough sticks is a unique experience.
✔Aunt Cun's Thin Bean Powder: Featured on CCTV, but I think Grandma Yang's is tastier.
✔Little Liu's Copper Ladle Beef: A large bowl full of beef, so good that two people can't finish it, 168 yuan.
✔Mom's Taste: Tasty and well-known, a restaurant that locals are aware of.
✔Fatty Barbecue: The best barbecue I've had in Yunnan, everything is delicious, though the prices are relatively high. It's truly remote, found by groping in the dark up the mountain at 11 pm.
✔Pine Flower Cake: With a faint scent of pine flower powder, topped with red beans, mildly sweet and not greasy.

Heshun will regret it if you don’t go to Tengchong. It’s worth going to Heshun. It’s more worth going to. It’s different from other ancient towns. It’s beautiful and quiet. The flower cakes are delicious. I will recommend it to my friends. It’s really a scene.
The scenic spot is relatively large. I went in the afternoon and went to the counting book bureau and the big waterwheel. The shuttle bus was gone after 6 o'clock. Because the weather was not very good, I would take the shuttle bus down the mountain. The ancient town was not too deep, but the stone road was really painful. Friends who went in the morning can walk slowly and turn slowly. Buy a ticket valid for 7 days, unlimited times within 7 days into the ancient town
|Heshun Ancient Town ^ is located 4 kilometers west of Tengchong County. It was built in the Ming Dynasty. It was named "Heshun" because of the small river around the village. The later literati Yashi took the meaning of "Shihe Minshun" and changed its name to "Heshun". Heshun Ancient Town is a famous overseas Chinese town in Yunnan Province, and it is also a heavy town of tea-horse ancient road. The only place to pass by the southwest Silk Road. The ancient town buildings are built around the mountains, rising from east to west, extending for two or three kilometers. There are temples, archways and ancient houses in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The main attractions in the town are: the Myanmar Anti-Japanese War Museum, Zhongtian Temple, Wanlouzi, Liu's Ancestral Temple, Aisiqi Memorial Hall, Wenchang Palace and Heshun Library. Along the alleys of the ancient town, you can visit the old houses, old streets and ancient Ancestral Temple in the ancient town. The Museum of the Bending Building Ziju can open your eyes: the building can still be like this. No wonder there have been many hot TV dramas for a while, and they have all made a special trip to take pictures here. The former residence of the Ancestral Hall of Cun's Ancestral Hall and the Jade King, which makes you sigh the exquisiteness of the ancient town's architecture. Tired of walking, you can sit in the teahouse in Liu's Ancestral Hall, drink a cup of tea made with local Longtan water and chestnut charcoal fire, and leave your lips and teeth incense. In Heshun Library, you can also see the craftsmen making paper with local methods, which is one of the three treasures in Tengchong (Teng Xuan, Teng medicine, Teng Bian).
The scope of Heshun Ancient City is quite large, and it may take about 3 hours to walk around. The guide manual of the scenic spot is relatively clear, telling you clearly where the east line passes and where the west line passes. I went twice because I couldn't finish it once. The tickets he bought are valid for seven days, so don't lose them. But I also heard that before 8:00 in the morning and after 9:00 in the evening, there is no need for tickets to enter the ancient city of Heshun in Yunnan, and even the domestic is relatively famous. As an ancient pole-side business city, he has his own long history and culture. The most shocking thing is that there is a perfect village library here, the square books are from ancient orphans, good at the Qianlong years, and the Republic of China's magazines, such as new youth and other precious materials, which are too rich than cultural resources. In short, in addition to shopping and eating, the ancient city has a very deep heritage, waiting for everyone to explore and realize.
It is definitely a treasure ancient town. I have been to many ancient towns in China, and it feels the same. Heshun Ancient Town is really different and just right for business. The environment and production of the cafe are very good, and the scenery is also a unique southwest beauty. The experience of horse culture is different.
Tengchong Heshun is a good place, the town is a bit big, there are not many people, Sanjuzi is mainstream traffic, fishing is love for all ages. God is beautiful, walking in the town, the wind and the sun + Jingmei people are good = refreshing. There is only one problem, there are too many flies this season.
