Coming to Tengchong and Heshun Ancient Town is a great attraction not to be missed, and it can be played in all seasons. There is not much seasonal difference. Many tourists choose to live in the ancient town with a slightly expensive house price, which is convenient for wandering around the town. In fact, the ancient town is not far from the urban area. If you order takeout in the ancient town inn, you have to send it from the urban area.

The ancient town is not too big, but it is tiring to walk around the town, because Heshun is an ancient town built in the Ming Dynasty, with a history and culture of more than 6 years. Most of the local Han people are descendants of Sichuanese, Jiangnan people and Zhongyuan people who came to Yunnan in the early Ming Dynasty to engage in military and civilian villages. The whole ancient town is built on a hillside. While visiting the old buildings, you must also experience the enjoyment of going up and down. Fortunately, there are not many steps, all of which are undulating ramps.

what are the scenic spots in Heshun ancient town?

Several family ancestral halls

There are several big surnames in Heshun Ancient Town, and each surname has its own culture and inheritance. From the Li Ancestral Hall in Plutocratic family, to the exquisite and connotative Liu Ancestral Hall, to the Cunshi Ancestral Hall where a jade shop is hidden, and the Zhang Ancestral Hall, which has not been opened to the public for the time being, we can see rigorous family instructions and the tradition of inheriting Confucian culture in the Central Plains.

In the new era, the rights of ancestral hall chiefs are not so great, but because most of their ancestors came from the Central Plains, their attachment to the clan is still there. In order to retain the cultural inheritance of each surname, they still have spiritual sustenance for their ancestors who are far away from the Central Plains. This is also the reason why most immigrants from border cities and overseas Chinese are extremely enthusiastic about "building ancestral halls". After all, there are far more Shun people living abroad than staying here.

Ai Siqi Memorial Hall

Ai Siqi, whose original name is Li Shengxuan, has a prominent family background. His father is a veteran of the Revolution of 1911, and he himself is an excellent Marxist philosopher. The memorial hall is his former residence, which is a typical local building. The exterior wall is brick-concrete structure, and the buildings inside are all made of wood. There are many relics, old photos and letters written by Chairman Mao in the memorial hall. Now it has become an education base for the surrounding primary and secondary school students.

Heshun Library

Heshun Library is one of the largest rural libraries in China. It was founded by overseas Chinese in 1924. From the architectural style, it can feel a very obvious exotic style. Next to the library is Wenchang Palace, which combines the dissemination of modern knowledge with religious beliefs that protect knowledge. It is very grounded! The phrase "the fountain of people's wisdom" in front of the library is also very touching. Shun people have been going out for generations, and no matter where they go, they must have culture, nationality and family to have greater development.

Wild Duck Lake

The scenery of Heshun Wild Duck Lake is quite pleasant. In addition to several ancestral halls and palace temples around it, there are also large waterwheels similar to Old Town of Lijiang, as well as fascinating pavilions in the middle of the lake. Many tourists travel back and forth along the stone bridge, and the green and quiet water in front of them really looks like a huge and exquisite jade.

the temple of the god of wealth

The temples in Heshun are located in every corner of the ancient town. The temple of the god of wealth is very close to my inn, with a high position and a good view, but it is slightly dilapidated. There are two statues of the God of Wealth in the main hall. Outside the hall, there are staff members who collect incense money from believers who come to visit. I really don't know where these offerings have gone. I feel sad when I look at the fallen boards on the stage at the door.

Thousand-handed Guanyin ancient trees

This scenic spot is not large, just near the Zhang ancestral hall, but the ancient trees with twisted and twisted branches are really beautiful. It is said that these branches are like Thousand-handed Guanyin, and they really have that taste.

Heshun Alley

Heshun was once a frontier town for stationing troops, a caravan town, and the only place where the ancient Silk Road passed. Together with the later "going abroad", it created her genes for various development. Heshun Alley, which you can see when you enter the main entrance of the ancient town, is the platform for the scenic spot management company to better show the charm of Heshun ancient town to tourists.

There is the "Company commanders mansion" which was rebuilt by the Qing Dynasty from the old residence of Zhang Songlin, the chief soldier of the first-class general Zhenwei. There are the Yunnan Merchants Pavilion, the Tea House, the Shadow Play Pavilion, the Wood Carving Pavilion, the Ancient Papermaking Pavilion, etc., which tell the cultural story of the caravan. There are laundry kiosks and centennial workshops with special shapes that reflect the unique local culture, as well as cafes and small bars for tourists to relax ... It can be said that it is the center of the whole scenic spot, but it is also very commercialized.

The wetland park near Heshun Alley is also worth a visit. You can take a wooden boat with artificial paddles to wander in the wetland. A few steps forward is the endless field scenery. Standing on the ridge of the field and looking at the sunset in the distant clouds, there is really a leisurely feeling of returning to nature.

In a word, "harmony" and "harmony" have always been the rulers' requirements for people. If the ancient town is so famous, it will have a bright future. To enter some of the above cultural attractions, you need to show the tickets of the ancient town! Although if you enter the city late, you can avoid the staff who check the tickets, but if you want to go to more scenic spots, you should buy tickets.

Huajian Meisu luxury holiday courtyard

This time I stayed in Tengchong, Huajian Meisu luxury holiday courtyard in Heshun Ancient Town. The boss was very kind. He personally picked up the plane, booked a free shuttle, and gave small gifts to the guests when checking out. The location of the inn is a short walk from the main block and scenic spots, but it is quite close to the driveway into the ancient city, which is more convenient for guests to go out by car or travel by car. It only takes 1-2 minutes to walk to online celebrity restaurant.

My room is on the first floor. There is no big window to the outside, but the area is still large. The decoration is really like my own home. It is quite warm. There is a bathtub in the bathroom. It is really comfortable to take a bath after a long walk! Breakfast at their home starts at 8: , and my aunt will arrange the dishes (it is said that every day is different) and then serve a bowl of freshly cooked bait. The service is really good!

Mom's taste

The online celebrity restaurant near the inn tastes good, and the scenery on the second floor is very good ~ Because I was eating alone, I didn't dare to order too many dishes, so I tried the signature pot stickers recommended by everyone, and the weight was really enough! The legendary rescue is also very delicious! There are meat, powder and eggs, which are rich in nutrition ~
