A lesser-known hiking route along the China-Myanmar border in Tengchong, an experience accessible to those with average physical strength on the Gaoligong Mountains branch

🌟Highlights: The hiking route from start to finish takes about 3 hours, with a low difficulty level, suitable for people with average physical strength to experience (see Route Map in Image Eight). This attraction is a branch of the Gaoligong Mountains, contracted by a few young men, currently only open to guests with reservations. The mountains retain their original appearance, not overly developed, and currently not crowded, offering a strong experience. 💰Average cost: The hike was recommended by the owner of the homestay we stayed at, including a meal of fatty goose charcoal hotpot (the soup base takes three hours to prepare); a charcoal barbecue dinner; plus a guide fee, the average cost per person is 288; free fruits and coarse grains are provided. 👍Most recommended: A place suitable for zoning out, the golden grassland in front of the thatched cottage is fairy grass, and you must lie on the grass to take photos, which turn out especially well (see Image Seventeen). ❤Recommended because: We were fortunate to have one of the contractors, Little Brother Ma, as our guide (pictured in the middle of Image Sixteen), who gave a detailed introduction to the names, effects, and local uses of plants along the way; He introduced some geographical features formed by crustal movements and volcanic eruptions (see Images Eleven and Twelve, columnar jointing walls); Hedgehog Rock, etc. On the drive to the scenic area, rapeseed flowers bloom along the way, layer upon layer in the terraced fields, set against houses with white walls and grey tiles, creating a beautiful rural scene; This hiking route has three waterfalls, each with a nice and vivid name, and Little Brother Ma will also help us take photos and design poses, which are said to have been scouted by professional photographers. Along the way, there are many camellias, with the light pink ones being old camellias; the darker ones are actually younger in tree age. ✅Must experience: Little Brother Ma personally demonstrated the making of the thunder tea drunk by the caravan, and detailed the effects of thunder tea, a tradition passed down from generation to generation among the caravan. 📝Note tips: 1. The China-Myanmar border hiking route requires a professional guide; do not attempt to cross it on your own, as it is a border area. 2. Little Brother Ma instructed that visitors entering the mountains should not smoke; must not randomly destroy or take away plants (as seemingly inconspicuous plants may be nationally protected, and random picking or destruction could violate the law); must not kill animals; must not litter. 3. Environmental protection starts with me.
