There are countless famous places in Yunnan, such as Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La, each of which is worth visiting again. When you come to Yunnan in winter, you can feed the seagulls at Haitang Dam in Kunming, or blow the wind and bask in the sun by Erhai Lake in Dali.

But there is one place that we often overlook, and that is Dehong, the hometown of peacocks located in the lower reaches of Nujiang River. This winter, it is better to come to Dehong, a warm place to feed the peacock and taste delicious food.

Dehong is located in the border of Yunnan, with Baoshan in the east and Myanmar mountains and rivers in the west, south and north. Because the whole state of Dehong is close to the Tropic of Cancer, there is no severe cold in winter and no severe heat in summer, and the annual average temperature is between 65438+08.4 ~ 20.

It can be said that Dehong is the most worthwhile place to spend the winter in Yunnan outside Xishuangbanna, and 99% of tourists have never experienced the original Yunnan here.

Dehong's folk customs are similar to Xishuangbanna, which is dominated by Dai people and believes in Southern Buddhism, and is full of exotic customs in Southeast Asia.

Dehong's main tourist destinations are mangshi and Ruili.

The landmark building of mangshi is Menghuan Dajinta, which is located at the top of Leiya Mountain on Peacock Lake in the southeast of mangshi. This golden pagoda is the first golden stupa in China and the first hollow stupa in Asia.

In addition to the Golden Pagoda, other famous scenic spots in mangshi include Baoshu Pagoda, Montbanasi Garden and Peacock Valley. Last April, mangshi added a particularly unpopular and beautiful place-Menghuan Silver Pagoda.

The Dream Ring Silver Pagoda is located on the hill opposite the Shwedagon Pagoda, echoing it from a distance. Against the background of blue sky and white clouds, walking in local Dai costumes seems to have crossed Thailand at once, and it is especially easy to make a film full of ins wind.

Compared with mangshi's low profile, Ruili is more famous. Many film and television dramas, such as Princess Peacock, Journey to the West, Beacon Village Lighthouse, handcuffed passengers, etc. They were all shot here.

Ruili and Myanmar are separated by a river. The most attractive attractions here are Zhai Yi and Zhaizhai, where there are the most expensive jade treasures and unique stupa buildings in China.

Besides, Ruili is also the "Jade Capital" of China. According to statistics, almost half of jadeite sold from Myanmar to China is sent from Ruili to the whole country.

Delong Night Market in Ruili is the largest "jade wool trading market and live broadcast base" in China. There is a saying here that "a knife is poor and a knife is rich, and a knife is covered with linen." Little friends can experience a gambling stone here, but remember that enough is enough!

If you must find a reason to go to Dehong, it is food. Dehong is a gourmet paradise favored by director Chen Xiaoqing. Dehong can be found in the food documentaries Flavor World and Flavor Origin Yunnan.

There are more sour Dai flavors than Banna, more vigorous barbecues than Jianshui, richer snacks than Dali, and more exotic fruits than Red River. In Dehong, you can eat the most authentic Southeast Asian cuisine without leaving home.

When you come to Dehong, you must try the most delicious dark dish-sprinkle. It is also called Dehong's cross-bridge rice noodles because it uses the bitter water boiled by animals' bitter intestines as seasoning and uses meat dipped in leeks, parsley, millet and spicy rice noodles.

Everyone knows the "crossing the bridge rice noodle" in Yunnan, but they don't know that Dehong Achang people have another kind of crossing the bridge rice noodle. Put the rice noodles in the palm of your hand, add seasoning and lick your fingers after eating. (Friendly tip: Remember to wash your hands. )

Dehong's food looks very similar to Xishuangbanna, but it has a unique flavor because of Dehong's unique combustion technology and condiments. Among them, the most noteworthy are ghost chicken and roast pig.

In addition, on the streets of Dehong, you can easily eat Vietnamese rice rolls, spring rolls, Myanmar fried noodles, Thai Baba, and various Southeast Asian snacks, such as Paoluda.

By the way, don't be surprised if you see huge fruit in Dehong. They're this big without expansion agent. If you don't want to go abroad, you can experience exotic customs and taste all kinds of extreme food, so come to Dehong as soon as possible!
