I am a native of Northeast China. After retiring five years ago, I bought a house by the Lancang River in Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. From 1 1 month to April of the following year, I lived in Banna for half a year, and then went back to the north for the summer and lived a happy life like a migratory bird. In order to make it easier for my friends to understand my family's old-age life, I will tell you the truth about life here and say whatever comes to mind. First of all, Xishuangbanna is located at the southernmost tip of Yunnan, under the jurisdiction of Jinghong City and Mengla County in Menghai, with an area of over 654.38+900,000 square kilometers, which is more than half the area of Taiwan Province Province in China. Bordering Laos and Myanmar, the border is the warmest place in Yunnan. Jinghong is the seat of the state capital, the political, economic, cultural, educational, medical and transportation center of the whole state, and an important external gateway to the southwest border of China. Its geographical and strategic location is very superior and important. Secondly, the climate here is pleasant and people feel comfortable in winter. This is a forest garden city, surrounded by mountains and green plants. There are all kinds of tropical trees and exotic flowers and grasses, which make the city streets beautiful and colorful. Walking on the road is like visiting a garden, which makes people linger. Old people are afraid of cold, but the temperature here is too warm. During the day, they can wear short sleeves, skirts and sandals, but there is a big temperature difference between morning and evening. The average temperature in winter is over 20 degrees, and sometimes it reaches 30 degrees in the hottest afternoon, but there are not many such days. Because of the dense trees, wide rivers and numerous lakes, there is no pollution from industrial enterprises and the air is good. In addition, the altitude is low, the average urban area is more than 500 meters, which is at least 1500 meters lower than Kunming. If you drive from Kunming to Banna, no wonder you always feel downhill. Many northerners in Banna have alleviated the symptoms of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and some rhinitis patients have even recovered. I think this has a lot to do with the local natural environment. Third, Xishuangbanna is a place where more than a dozen ethnic minorities live together, mainly Dai people. Most of them believe in Buddhism, and their folk customs are simple and the people are kind. Now we have lived for five winters, traveling or playing from our daily life. We have never seen fighting or swearing, and the social order is stable and harmonious. The architecture here is very distinctive, and the Dai people also have a unique style. Golden buildings and courtyards are colorful against the background of green trees and flowers. There are not many people in the street during the day, which may be due to the hot weather. At night, there are traffic, crowds and colorful buildings here. This is a city that never sleeps. Services such as catering, entertainment and night market are open until midnight, and nightlife is prosperous, worthy of the name. Dai girls are also famous for their beauty. They wear colorful national costumes, and heavy makeup is always appropriate. They are all elegant, walking in the street view, which is definitely a beautiful scenery. Fourth, Banna is full of scenery, with many different scenery and many interesting places. After living for several years, it is just a loophole, picturesque and charming, attracting countless tourists and migratory birds. Both natural landscape and human landscape are unique and unrepeatable. Due to the limited space, let's briefly talk about the swift, clear, wide and long Lancang River. It flows through Banna and leaves the country through Jinghong City. The name of this river was changed to Mekong River, and a river connected six countries. The coastal scenery is different and beautiful. The Lancang River is beautiful in day and night. The flow of rivers adds rhythm and aura, charm and softness to the city, charming Dai nationality township and happy Jinghong, which is really worthy of the name. This river is more beautiful at night. Every time the lights are turned on, there are thousands of lights on both sides of the river. Tall rainforest trees and buildings with national characteristics and modern design stand in the reflection of the river. Laughter and laughter are heard from large cruise ships on the river. Small speedboats with different shapes are happily carrying tourists by, competing for each other and showing their magical powers. It is worth mentioning that Jiangbei Gaozhuang Night Market is very famous, with numerous tourists. This is also the place to punch in. It brings together the customs of Dai and Southeast Asia. It is said that it is the largest night market among the ten Southeast Asian countries. It is a dazzling collection of small commodities from many countries. There are all kinds of Dai and ethnic specialties here, and there is an endless stream of early adopters. You can also go sightseeing on the water and shop on the boat, so that buyers can add new experiences. Don't walk in Gaozhuang, let alone go to Xishuangbanna. To say that women are the people who love shopping the most, the men who grant them patents are convinced of this. The men who accompany them have become handbag owners who don't spend money, so they can't do anything to sweep the goods. My wife is also a shopping fan. How many times has she been to the night market and still enjoys it? Let's talk about urban landscape. Man Ting Park is the royal garden of Dai kings in history, and its humanistic value and spectacular degree are amazing. At that time, our beloved Premier Zhou came here to splash water with the Dai people to celebrate the festival, and later generations erected statues to commemorate it, so that the Prime Minister's voice, smile and great personality will always remain in people's hearts and make tourists moved. This is a must-see garden for tourists. The Great Buddha Temple and the General Temple are resplendent, solemn and magnificent, with golden walls, and there are many worshippers, celebrities and politicians from all ethnic groups. There are numerous 4A and 5A scenic spots in Banna, such as primeval forest, Wild Elephant Valley, proud as a peacock, Dai Garden and Wangtianshu. There is also a large musical fountain built by the government on the south bank of the Yangtze River, which is played many times every night for residents and tourists. Accompanied by moving music and lighting colors, all kinds of spray are varied and the scene is exciting and shocking, so that everyone on both sides of the strait can watch it together. In addition, the beauty of this mountain is even more beautiful. The different ways where immortals live are really endless for three days and three nights. You can't visit it in three or five years. Fifth, the transportation is convenient and developed. Several expressways here go over mountains and mountains, leading to all directions at home and abroad. Roads in counties, cities, towns and villages are as dense as cobwebs. Water shipping is relatively developed, and the Jinghong section is currently dredging the waterway. The new bridge under construction on both sides of the Lancang River flies north and south, making people's exchanges more convenient. Xishuangbanna Airport is the second largest airport in Yunnan after Kunming Changshui. There are more than 50 domestic and international routes, and the aviation industry is very developed. It only takes one hour to fly from Banna to Kunming. The construction of the Trans-Asian Railway is in full swing. At present, the entire track of the China-Laos section is being laid. According to the plan, the section from Kunming to Vientiane, the capital of Laos, will be opened to traffic at the end of this year. After that, railways from Vientiane to Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore will be built one after another. The Trans-Asian Railway is an arduous and huge great project, which will benefit the people of all countries along the route. Sixth, the residential municipal facilities, the perfection and convenience of water, electricity and gas logistics, and the sense of responsibility of safety maintenance personnel. Our community is backed by Century Jinyuan Golf Course, facing the Lancang River, and the riverside landscape belt can be reached within a few minutes' walk from the gate of the community. Public toilets and toilets are reasonably arranged at the entrance and exit of each plank road, and there are many long seats for the convenience of tourists. Last year, the city changed into a new type of beautiful bus and set up stations at the gates of various communities. Buses run every 65,438+05 minutes, leading to urban commercial outlets and Lai market, which is convenient for residents to travel and shop. The residential area is tree-lined, with dense flowers and plants, reasonable layout, a pavilion and a scene on the first floor, sculptures, fish ponds and clear springs, trails and scenery, trees in front of and behind the house, and buildings hidden in green bushes, which is refreshing. Property management in place, business households have difficulties, maintenance workers will arrive immediately and solve them immediately. I live here with peace of mind, comfortable life and no worries. Seventh, life is colorful and not lonely, and there are many friends in all corners of the country. Migratory birds from all over the country gather here, and their southern accents shift northward, including Heijiliao, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia, Lu Yu, Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan, Tibet-Mongolia in Xinjiang, Chongqing in Hunan, Jiangxi-Guangxi in Anhui, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Everyone came together for a common goal, which was very lively. No matter your age, temperament or specialty, as long as you go out of the house, put down your airs and treat the government and people sincerely, you will find bosom friends. Fishing, singing, dancing, shopping, eating and partying, playing chess, painting and calligraphy, making friends, traveling in groups and bragging. Being alive and not tired actually lies in two words: "mentality." To sum up, I think Xishuangbanna is a good place for the aged. Of course, everyone has a different perspective. Some people have a cursory look, some people have dismounted to have a closer look, some people have hearsay, and some people have no opinion. Maybe there is a more suitable place for providing for the aged in Yunnan. We should think harder and observe deeply to find a better place for our rest and health. Finally, my experience is that Xishuangbanna is beautiful! Not exactly. 65438+ lived in Xishuangbanna Dai Garden for 10 days in February, and still lived in Gaozhuang. I also went to Zhangman Village and Yuanman Village. Tell me how I feel 1. The air in Xishuangbanna is humid in the morning and evening, and the clothes in the room will feel wet. If you put the dried clothes in the room, you will feel wet again. It is foggy and rainy every morning. The winter sun in Xishuangbanna won't come out until around 1 pm. After the sun comes out, the temperature will be much warmer, but the clothes can't be dried well. They are wet after being left in the room all night and must be taken out to dry the next day. The Lancang River is being dug everywhere now, and the road to Dai Garden is covered with dust. The road leading to Zhangman Village is dusty, which is said to be caused by the construction of international high-speed rail. This is my impression of Xishuangbanna. Maybe I'm from the south, and the air in the city where I live is very good, so I don't think the air in Xishuangbanna is very good, but the northerners around me feel very good compared with the air in the north because they can only stay at home in winter. Different people have different opinions. Renting a house is better than buying a house, because there is no need to buy a house for the winter. The reason will be discussed in the next article. 1) It's too hot. 2) The price is too expensive. 3) There are too many rubber trees around, and the environment and air are not good. 4) There are many mosquitoes and dengue fever. 5) Gray, poor urban construction. Dirty. 6) The humanistic environment is not good, and the phenomenon of xenophobia is heavy. 7) The diet is single and unpalatable. 8) The level of medical service institutions is poor and the equipment and facilities are backward. 9) The traffic is inconvenient. 10) There are few cultural activities in entertainment places and leisure places. So don't come. I don't know why northerners always come to work when they come. Of course not. Old-age places must first have a good and convenient medical environment and rich living material culture. I have been there four times, and all aspects of experience are very suitable for old-age care.
