Don't go to Japan! The only small city in the country where you can see volcanoes and soak in hot springs is more romantic than Hokkaido

The volcanic eruption in Iceland has attracted a lot of attention, but the small city I'm going to introduce to you today is also a city with many volcanoes. It's a paradise created by God with volcanoes and barrier lakes. It's Tengchong, which was once voted the most beautiful place in Yunnan by National Geographic! In Tengchong, there are not only 99 volcanoes and 88 hot springs, but also spectacular volcano groups, geothermal groups, volcanic wonders - Shen Zhu Valley, volcanic barrier lake wetland - Beihai Wetland, the only urban waterfall in the country - Die Shui River Waterfall, low temperature hot spring dark river - Dam Pai Giant Spring and Black Fish River and other geological wonders. Time flies, more than half of this autumn has passed, and the cities in the north are already snowing heavily, but Tengchong has made a staggered appearance! It staged the purest autumn in China. Tengchong, a border city with a history of more than 600 years, has been rated as the most livable town, with a high level of negative oxygen ions and a forest coverage rate of 70%.
