The thought of going to Jingmai Mountain conjures up images of a life far removed from the hustle and bustle, carefree as if in the days of the immortals

We always dream of escaping the hustle and bustle to find a secret paradise on earth where we can forget time, forget the mundane, and live a carefree life like the immortals. In the city, we curse everything (after entering the mountains, love and peace prevail) So, it's time to learn about this place, a world heritage of tea culture: Located in Yunnan, it's still a niche destination to this day. Here lies a thousand-year mystery and the simplicity of pristine nature. Every ancient village is guarded by a King Tea Tree. It is a sacred presence, and the sea of clouds and sunrise and sunset here are a photographer's paradise, wandering through the ancient tea mountains. It's as if one has merged with this ancient land. Woken up by wisps of morning mist, The pink ancient tea mountains appear and disappear in the sea of clouds, The rolling sea of clouds surrounds the villages, like a fairyland. In winter, Jingmai Mountain is in full bloom with winter cherry blossoms, dyeing the tea mountains the color of a young girl's blush. Here you can find the banyan tree from the movie 'A Little Closer to Home' and climb it to experience a life isolated from the world. In the afternoon, the warm sun shines through the dense ancient tea forest. Under the guidance of local tea farmers, make a cake of Pu'er tea or chop bamboo to make a bamboo tube tea, gradually forgetting that you are a tourist, transforming into a tea farmer, personally picking and making tea. When night falls, the starry sky is brilliant, The unpolluted starry sky and Milky Way are right above, as if standing at the pinnacle of the universe. Such an experience is truly a visual feast! The rich cuisine in the village is also not to be missed, Braised fish, grilled pork belly, assorted wild vegetables... all are seasonal ingredients, fresh and delicious. After eating and drinking to your heart's content, chat with the locals even if you are a foreigner. Their warmth and simplicity will surely infect you. The only downside is that transportation is not convenient; it is recommended to drive yourself or rent a car in Pu'er to get there. Of course, choosing to set off with Manwan for a carefree journey to Jingmai Mountain, where you can stretch your body and mind, is comfortable. Here, there is not only external beauty but also inner spirit and beliefs waiting for you to discover.
