A one-day City walk in Lancang, Yunnan

After the successful application for World Heritage of Jingmai Mountain, Lancang, a small Lahu town on the southwestern frontier, has gradually come into people's view. Although it is the second largest county in the country, the county seat is not large and can be visited in one day. Here is a one-day tour to share with everyone. 1️⃣ Earthquake Monument On November 6, 1988, Lancang County experienced a '7.6 magnitude' earthquake. The current post-disaster reconstructed county town records the situation of emergency rescue and disaster relief, and also reminds future generations of history. 2️⃣ National Unity Progress Square Locals call it 'Lahu Square.' The square is large, with a giant gourd standing in the center. During major festivals such as the Spring Festival and Gourd Festival, Lahu people dress up and dance with songs. On ordinary days, it is a place for residents to dance, walk their children, snack on street food, and stroll for leisure and entertainment. 3️⃣ Museum, Science and History Museum Located right at the square, flanking the main entrance, the museum displays many gourds because the ancestors of the Lahu people came out of a gourd, so they worship gourds. There are also exhibits related to daily life. Free opening hours Monday to Friday Morning 8:00-11:30 (stop entering at 11:00) Afternoon 14:30-17:30 (stop entering at 17:00) Weekends and public holidays: 9:00 -17:00 (stop entering at 16:30) 4️⃣ Lahu Style Park Reservoir Park, with a small island in the middle of the lake. The island has places for drinking tea and eating, a good spot for a family outing. 5️⃣ Lahu New Street Here you can find restaurants, coffee shops, nightclubs, and a night market every evening. There is a big market gathering from Saturday night to Sunday, with lots of mountain goods and fresh items. No one can leave empty-handed, and there are also musical fountains on weekends. Transportation: Shared bicycles
