In recent years, I have driven by car for more than 1, kilometers, and I have almost traveled all over the country, driving along the Wusuli River and Heilongjiang River in the north and traveling around Hainan in the south. Only one province has always haunted me, and this place is Yunnan.

Yunnan is an unforgettable province. No matter how many times you have been and how many places you have traveled, it is also a place where you don't want to go, but you want to come again after leaving, and you will start thinking about it again from the moment you leave.

I have a dream that when I get old, I must come here, find a small town, buy a house and spend the rest of my life here.

When it comes to providing for the aged, there are really not many places suitable for providing for the aged in China. The weather in the north is cold, and most areas in the south are hot in summer and wet in winter. Even in Hainan, which is famous for its good air, most areas are only suitable for winter shelter, vacation and short-term residence. Only Yunnan has a pleasant three-dimensional climate, magnificent natural scenery, charming ethnic customs and mouth-watering specialty food. This is a place that can comfortably spend the four seasons.

Yunnan is so big, where on earth is more suitable for providing for the aged? Some people will say that Kunming, Dali, Jinghong, Tengchong, Pu 'er, Honghe and Qujing are all good places, but they are not perfect. If winter is comfortable, it will be hot in summer, such as Jinghong and Yuanjiang, and some are comfortable in summer, and it will be a little cold in winter, such as Kunming and Tengchong. Are there any places that are comfortable all year round? I recommend a small town, where the environment is good, the air is fresh, and the real old-age town with pleasant climate all year round is Menghai.

This is a place with the name of the sea, but there is no sea.

Menghai is one of the three counties and cities under the jurisdiction of Xishuangbanna, 6 kilometers away from Jinghong, the capital of Xishuangbanna. "Menghai" is a place name in Dai language, named to commemorate the Dai hero Yanhai, so "Menghai" is called "the place where heroes live".

Some people say that Lijiang is a daze. Then, Menghai, this is a quiet place, idyllic, quiet and far-reaching

Menghai, this is a quiet place.

In addition to the beautiful environment and good ecology, there is also the tea ceremony and Buddhist atmosphere here, which is a holy place for Buddhism spread to the south and rich in Buddhist culture. Worship the stupa, experience bodhi, treat tea and soup with courtesy, and have a quiet mind.

Menghai is the source of the ancient tea-horse road in Yunnan and Tibet, where the tea culture is profound and the caravan culture has a long history. It is recognized as one of the origins of tea trees in the world and one of the famous birthplaces of Pu 'er tea at home and abroad.

the ancient tea-horse road in Yunnan and Tibet is an ancient road that thrives on tea and is born for horses. Menghai is the starting point of this ancient tea-horse road. Especially in the Republic of China, with the rise of tea industry in Menghai, the transportation of the ancient tea-horse road gradually started from Menghai. Menghai is small, but it is famous all over the world because of Pu 'er tea.

Menghai is a place with beautiful environment, with trees in the mountains and water in the ditches, which is similar to the original ecology. The vibrant tea mountains adorn it. When people go to Yunnan to support the elderly, what people value is the climate here.

Although Menghai is a small place, it has the climate characteristics of Yunnan. A county has five climate zones, namely, the northern tropical zone, the middle subtropical zone, the warm summer and warm winter zone, the warm summer and cool winter zone, and the cool summer and warm winter zone. Many people say that Jinghong is a place where it is cold in winter and hot in summer. Although Menghai is only 6 kilometers away from Jinghong, this is the real place in Yunnan where there is no cold in winter and no heat in summer.

It's not only comfortable in winter, but also cool in summer. It's a summer resort for Jinghong people, and it's known as "the most suitable real spring city for human habitation" in the world.

Many old people like Yunnan, but they are afraid that Yunnan's high altitude is bad for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

In Yunnan, altitude is indeed a factor that cannot be ignored. The high-altitude areas in Yunnan are basically in the northwest of Yunnan, while the southern part of Yunnan, where Xishuangbanna Prefecture is located, is mostly below 15 meters above sea level. Jinghong City is only about 58 meters above sea level, while Menghai is about 13 meters above sea level. According to scientific research, 15 meters above sea level is a magical height, where there are "airborne vitamins"-negative oxygen ions, which can promote metabolism, strengthen the nervous system and improve immunity. Living at this height is beneficial to human health, and only this height can ensure a cool climate in summer, which is why many people from Sichuan and Chongqing go to the mountains in Guizhou for summer.

Menghai has no industry, the forest coverage rate reaches 67%, and it has excellent air quality. As the first county of Pu 'er tea, Menghai is also a region rich in water resources, with an annual runoff of 2.9 billion cubic meters, and there are more than 1 high, medium and low hot springs. There are hot springs in seven or eight kilometers outside Menghai.

Menghai has a slow pace of life, stable and peaceful social order and low consumption level. At present, the housing price is also at a relatively low level. There are about 3K single-room apartments and 5K-7K better residential areas. There are two second-class first-class hospitals in Menghai County, including County People's Hospital and County Chinese Medicine Hospital, as well as County Maternal and Child Health Hospital, Liming Hospital and other medical institutions. County People's Hospital has more than 47 beds and 13 wards, which is the counterpart support hospital of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital.

The traffic in Menghai County is relatively convenient now. The Jinghong-Menghai Expressway was officially opened to traffic on January 15th this year, and the travel time between Jinghong and Menghai has been shortened from one hour to less than half an hour. There are 13 county roads in Menghai, and 99.5% of the natural villages are connected with highways. It's only 45 kilometers from the county seat to Gasa International Airport and 6-7 kilometers from Daluo Port, and it's only an hour's drive. Next year, Xishuangbanna will open a high-speed railway, and Menghai is only a few tens of kilometers away from Jinghong and Mengyang high-speed railway station.

Menghai is an important producing area of Pu 'er tea, known as the first county of Pu 'er tea. There are six tea mountains here, such as Nannuoshan Mountain and Brown Mountain, which are distributed in the hillside and hilly area above 1 meters above sea level. Here, it is humid all year round, the land is fertile and pollution-free, and no pesticides are applied, which creates the best growth environment for tea trees and produces excellent tea quality. There are more than 4, mu of ancient tea mountains here, most of which are between 2 and 5 years old, and the wild "Tea Tree King" is 17 years old, which can be called the "living fossil" in the history of tea development. All seasons here are suitable for rice growth, rich in high-quality rice, and it has been known as the "granary in southern Yunnan" since ancient times.

there are 25 ethnic groups living in Menghai county, including Dai, Hani, Lahu, Bulang and Jingpo, which have a long history and splendid culture. Dai people praise Kazakhstan, ancient music, painting, love songs played by Bulang, Lusheng dance by Lahu, colorful te amo by Hani and other ethnic skills, and rich ethnic customs.

Menghai on the tip of the tongue

Roasted chicken wings, chicken feet, grilled fish, roasted beef liver and tofu are all quite good. The most delicious and famous thing in Menghai is barbecue. Many Jinghong people go to Menghai to avoid the sea and have a barbecue at the same time.

Yunnan's characteristic long street banquet, where thousands of people * * * enjoy the emotional stretch in the delicious food.

Menghai, which is a sacred place for tea people. Every year, from the end of February, tea people begin to pour into Menghai, waiting for spring tea to cover the tea warehouses here. The streets here are full of two words, that is, try tea, try tea.

The main scenic spots are Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion, Single Tree Forest, Daluo Forest Park, Man Short Buddhist Temple, Bada Wild Tea Tree King, Manluanhui Mosque and Mengbang Reservoir.

Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion

The Buddhist Pavilion is octagonal, an ancient Buddhist building in China, which stood beside the former Mengjingzhen Palace, so people called it "Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion" according to its shape and location.

Man Short Buddhist Temple

It is about 1 kilometers away from the county seat. This Buddhist temple was built in 95, with a history of 149 years. It is one of the earliest Buddhist temples built after the introduction of Hinayana Buddhism, and it is the center of religious and cultural activities of the local Dai people.

Mengjinglai

This is a typical traditional Dai village, adjacent to Myanmar. The Tallinn, Shenshu and Shenquan at the entrance of the village have a long history. Because of its special geographical location and long-standing traditional culture, it has a special position in the minds of the Dai people and is called "the first village in China and Myanmar".

The Central Line of the Trans-Asian Railway will be opened in 221. What will it bring to Menghai?

the central line of the trans-Asian railway includes yumo railway, China-Laos Railway (Laos section) and China-Thailand railway (Thailand section).

yumo railway connects Yuxi in the north, passes through pu' er city and Xishuangbanna in the south to Mohan, a border port between China and Laos, with a total length of about 58 kilometers. it is a national first-class electrified railway. After the opening of this high-speed rail line, Xishuangbanna will enter the high-speed rail era, and it only takes three hours to Kunming, which will definitely open up the economic development space of Xishuangbanna, and Menghai will also be integrated into Xishuangbanna's "half-hour economic circle".

With convenient transportation and beautiful environment, and the brand advantage and ecological conservation value of "the first county of Pu 'er tea in China", Menghai will surely become the most attractive and livable city for the aged in Yunnan.

The future development of Menghai is worth looking forward to!

Welcome to pay attention to the monsoon in Muztag. Let's see the world together.
