Finally, a hotel I like in Lincang.
Once, I went to Lincang on business and was worried about not having a place to stay. Someone recommended this hotel to me. I was wondering how this hotel would be. As soon as I entered, I was amazed. 🎉
The lobby is spacious and well-decorated. I felt like I was in a high-end place. 💎
The room is clean and tidy, and the layout is cozy. The bed is soft, and lying on it feels like lying on a cloud. 🛏️
From the window, you can see the city view of Lincang, which is beautiful. 🖼️
The service at the hotel is excellent, and the staff is very enthusiastic. If you have any problems, they will solve them immediately. 👍
Moreover, the hotel's restaurant is also good. I had a meal there, and the taste was good, with a variety of options. 🥐
In short, Lincang Kailaiston International Hotel is really great. If you go to Lincang, whether for travel or business, you can consider staying at this hotel! Trust me, you won't regret it. 💕
This is Yunnan's "Emerald City," where every frame is a screensaver.
Mengku Snow Mountain, one of the birthplaces of ancient tea trees in the world, is known as the "place where the tea ancestors live." It has the highest altitude, the widest distribution area, the largest population density, and the most complete preservation of the original vegetation of the wild ancient tea community discovered so far in the world. It is also the breeding base for cultivated tea trees.
Although Mengku Snow Mountain is named after a snow mountain, it is actually a vibrant "fairyland." The grass does not wither in winter, and the flowers do not wither in spring. The green mountains are like ink, the waterfalls and springs are flowing, the clouds and mist are misty, and the fairyland is like a fairyland. The amazing natural environment has become the chosen place for the growth of ancient tea trees.
Walking among them, it is easy to be shocked by such an ancient and vast vitality. Even speaking, I unconsciously slowed down my voice. After all, this mountain and stone, grass and wood, have been an ancient existence since millions of years ago, but they have been flourishing in the years of decay.
Shangqiu Mountain | Fireworks over Lincang, a lingering aftertaste.
Autumn is approaching, and the weather is getting cooler. Why not come to Yunnan, to Lincang, and experience the heat of summer and the vitality of spring.
Lincang is the important origin of the world's tea trees, the birthplace of Pu'er tea, the birthplace of Yunnan black tea, the birthplace of large-leaf steamed green tea, China's largest tea-producing city, and the largest production base of Pu'er tea and Yunnan black tea... Lincang is famous for its tea, and it also contains a unique life temperature.
If you want to understand the charm of Lincang tea, you might as well start by walking into the market life of Mengku Town, Shuangjiang, Lincang, and feel the local people's fresh and spicy flavor code.
Treasure ingredients are densely covered, and cooking creativity is unlimited, which is an image summary of Mengku Food Street. Various mountain thatch wild vegetables, seasonal fruits, dark cuisine... With a dazzling array of small ingredients and dipping water, it collides with irresistible tongue temptation. The authentic flavor is the emotional need of Lincang people. Every bite of food is "swallowable happiness": sour and spicy, and the aftertaste is especially sweet.

Lincang: Looks Very Cultured
Lincang: Looks Very Cultured
Text/ Rongrong
Lincang, whether as a tourist spot or a transit point, I pondered for a long time.
As a tourist spot, it is naturally the "Wengding Primitive Tribe." However, it is indeed too far from the main route, and after a fire in 2021, is the "reconstructed ancient village" still worth staying?
After much deliberation, I gritted my teeth and gave up—shortening the itinerary, without the mindset to take risks.
Thus, the Three Museums Cultural Square, Sigangli Square, and Yulong Lake were added to the leisurely tour.
Seeing the "Lincang Cultural Center" sign, my husband laughed heartily, saying he wanted to take a photo to commemorate it, feeling "very cultured." He always prides himself on being a rough man, so this childish behavior was not surprising.
The Cultural Center, Library, and Museum, the "Three Museums" are concentrated, indeed providing better public cultural services. Accustomed to the simplicity and elegance of various local cultures, I was a bit unaccustomed to the strong modern sense of the three buildings in front of me. My son said, don't be deceived by appearances, you have to look deeper to judge.
Indeed, after all, it's newly built, and the modern style is normal. Moreover, the "Three Museums" have similar styles, so they don't seem isolated. For example, each building has similar longitudinal decorations on the top, perhaps related to lighting, further indicating the "trinity"?
It wasn't open hours. Perhaps due to the out-of-town visitors, the museum girl was very cute, not only allowing us to register and enter but also enthusiastically acting as a guide. She was quite happy to say that there was a calligraphy exhibition nearing its end, where we could see works by local masters.
What does it feel like to calmly accept "quality service"? It just felt that the people of Lincang were particularly friendly, truly "very cultured."
I didn't understand the calligraphy works, the fonts were unfamiliar, and I had to guess the content and even check Baidu. But some of the charm, rhythm, lines, brushstrokes, along with the overall framework and emotional expression, were barely discernible. The girl said it would have been better if we had come earlier, as there would have been someone to introduce the works, but unfortunately, she didn't understand much and couldn't remember much.
Thus, we were also fortunate to come into contact with "Gengma Dai Paper-cutting Intangible Cultural Heritage," "Jinshui Leak Printing Craft," "Buddhist Stories and Folk Legends," "Dai Embroidery Craft," and more. Especially the embroidered works, according to the girl, are: the world's scenery worn on the body. It turns out that folk culture is so close to nature? Is this another meaning of "the unity of heaven and man"?
There are many stories of Southern Buddhism, presented in various artistic forms. For example, Water Dripping Dedication, White Cow Princess, Golden Gecko, and so on. There are also various Buddhist banners, prayer flags, etc., which became rich and exciting through the girl's explanation.
Coming to a nearly floor-to-ceiling ancient embroidery piece, the girl apologized, saying it had just been collected from the folk, the damaged parts hadn't been repaired in time, and the content involved hadn't been verified, so she couldn't provide more information. This sincere and earnest attitude was very touching.
My husband said, just for this, Lincang is worth another visit.
With a good mood, we leisurely headed to Yulong Lake. Along the way, there were many tropical plants, such as palm trees, Persian dates, and flame trees in full bloom, and exotic kapok trees. I was amazed by the various swollen or tall and straight tree shapes, often circling the trees two or three times, while my husband took a shooting stick and crazily photographed the flowers and leaves. My son watched from a distance with a high-cold look of "you two have never seen the world."
Unknowingly, we arrived at the Wa Culture Square—oh my, another cultural lesson? Indeed, it looks very cultured.
The center of the square has a giant bull head pattern on the ground. The bull is the totem of the Wa people, a symbol of auspiciousness and sacredness. It reminded me of the street where the square is located, called Sigangli Avenue.
"Sigangli," a widely circulated creation story (oral) of the Wa people in Cangyuan, is the creation epic of the Wa people. In the Wa language, "Sigang" means stone cave or gourd, and "li" means coming out. It means: the stone cave and gourd gave birth to humans and all things in nature. It is the Wa ancestors' direct understanding of human birth, also reflecting the maternal worship of the Wa period.
The front of the square has a giant statue of Wa people drumming (wooden drum), with large combination reliefs on both sides, mainly featuring "Sigangli," integrating other Wa legends from regions like Ximeng and Lancang, introducing the origin, history, and culture of the Wa people.
The left relief mainly features stories of heaven and earth (Liji God creating the earth, Luan God opening the sky) and the creation of all things by gods, including "Toad Saving People," "Human and Bull Mating Giving Birth to Gourd," "All Ethnic Groups Originating from Sigang," and so on.
The right relief mainly features production and life scenes. For example, building houses, pounding rice and carrying water, cultivating tea trees, making wooden drums, bull sacrifices, headhunting blood sacrifices, and so on.
The scorching sun made it impossible to stop and read carefully, including the stone pillar reliefs at the entrance, only feeling the Wa culture rushing towards us.
Going further, turning left, Yulong Lake was right in front of us.
Blue sky, white clouds, buildings, green plants, including the water area, all couldn't be appreciated in time, as we saw on the island in the middle of the lake, egrets either strolling leisurely, perching on branches, or flapping their wings and flying, grabbing our attention.
There were also other famous or unknown birds, flying far and near, quickly returning to the forest, or boldly stopping on the lakeside railings, tilting their heads to look at the passing tourists.
—It is the only park I have been to so far, planned for birds and isolated from human intrusion, with a small island in the middle of the lake, not just one, but three or more—the lake is too vast to know if any were missed.
My husband said, a paradise for birds.
"Black swans," my son pointed and shouted. In family units, the black swans floated on the water, at ease. The existence of groups, a rare scale, should still be credited to the island in the middle of the lake—a livable place that can keep them.
Perhaps treated kindly by the citizens for a long time, the swans, besides playing in the water, could also come ashore in groups. How close were they? If you spread your palm, they would peck food from it, accurately identifying which two were adult swans and which were newly grown cygnets.
So cultured, raising black swans like poultry, my husband sighed, saying, "the concept of delineating territories for birds" is worth promoting nationwide!
There were food stalls around the park, mainly barbecue, and also local specialties. Strangely, there were a lot of chicken butts. Staring at them for a long time, I found it funny: how much do the people of Lincang love to eat them? The stall owner was very enthusiastic, actively introducing, saying, we call it "chicken beauty," would you like to try?
A little later, more local people came for a walk, and the chicken butts sold very well, right? It felt very down-to-earth. Wonderful!

Lincang Sanqing Palace (Free Attraction) || You sure know how to have a good time!
Address: No. 3, Sanjiao Temple Lane, Linxiang District, Lincang City, Yunnan Province
Sanqing Palace, originally named Sanjiao Temple, was founded in the eighth year of the Tongzhi era of the Qing Dynasty (1869) by Kun Dao Li Benhou and Li Benzhu. It was established with the support of Zhou Changgongguo Qinquan. The construction continued under Zhang Herong in the twelfth year of Tongzhi (1873) and was completed. In the sixteenth year of Guangxu (1890), it was renovated by the European religious leader. In the twenty-ninth year of Guangxu (1903), the local gentry and people added the Dongjing Tower and the mountain gate to the Sanqing Palace and established the Lincang Dongjing Association (then called the Elders' Association). During the Xianfeng era, Sanjiao Temple was frequently destroyed by fire.
In 1933, the Taoist priest Hua Laishun led five disciples to the Erxian An in Qingyang Palace, Sichuan, to be ordained. In 1937, the Myanmar-Ning Taoist Association was established with Ruan Laiqing as the chairman, Li Jiaotong as the vice-chairman, and Ou Jiaoxi. By 1949, the number of believers had reached more than 38,000. In the 50s and 60s, Taoism began to decline, and activities were interrupted during the Cultural Revolution.
In the second half of 1980, Taoism began to organize private small-scale activities. In 1983, Lincang implemented religious policies to compensate and return Taoist properties. The Dongjing Tower and the rooms on both sides were demolished by the occupying units. In 1996, the rooms on both sides were renovated and the Dongjing Tower was rebuilt. In 1985, the Lincang County Taoist Association was established. It was officially registered and opened as a place for religious activities. In 1998, the former Sanjiao Temple was renamed Sanqing Palace.

Wuyuan County in Yunnan is the main area for the Yi people in the country, while Wengding Ancient Village is the most traditional Yi village. Wuyuan is adjacent to Shan State in Myanmar, and Weng Ding is said to be the last primitive tribe in China. A "Ava people sing new songs" let the world know about this minority. If you want to understand the Yi culture, Weng Ding must come.
Wengding Ancient Village is not big. There are 98 Yi villagers living in the area, with a total of more than 470 people. People are relatively poor, but the folk customs are simple and warm and hospitable. Women in the village like to smoke, and smoke does not leave their hands. It is a local culture. Perhaps living in the plateau, the ultraviolet rays are strong, the skin color is deep, and the local is black.
Weng Ding, in the proverb, means the place where the clouds are lingering, and the meaning of the spirit of the alpine Baiyun Lake. Walking through Weng Ding, the first thing I saw was the Zhaimen and the big banyan trees, which were the same for a hundred years. The two lines in the same place constitute the real sense of the Zhaimen, and together guard this village with hundreds of years of history.
The houses in the village are the houses of the Yi people's thatched houses. The tallest building is the king's palace. Yu Wang is the leader of the village and has a high prestige.
Traditional Yi people's residence is a pole-style bamboo and wood building. There are two types in the big aspect. One is a single-story oval house with a short roof on a single adult. Adults and widows live in such a house. The other is a common two-story building. Livestock downstairs.
But when there are friends from other places who come to visit me and ask about my unpopular tourist destination, Weng Ding Ancient Village is my first recommendation. Compared with the bustling of Lijiang Dali, this preserved original Yi village has undoubtedly a unique charm.
Seeing a row of piles full of buffalo heads, I know that it is not far from Weng Ding Guzhai. Online said that the road from Wuyuan County to Weng Ding is good. They are all cement roads. In fact, there is no road in the middle. There is a long road in the middle, and it has been dug into a mud road. It has been bumped for a while and then passed through the misty mountains. We arrived in Onding.
The front of the stockade is full of buffalo heads. It looks a bit scary, but in Yunnan, the buffalo head is not unusual, because the Yi people worship the buffalo, and the pajamas hanging on the pony head are a kind of blessing symbol.
Before entering the stockade, there will be a welcoming ceremony. The villagers beat the instruments and sang the folks of the Yi people to welcome the guests. Then an uncle holds a black and dark thing and touches her eyebrows with a finger. It seems to be a blessing to the guests coming from afar.
The house built with grass and wood has been used for thousands of years.
In Weng Ding Village, few people may be familiar with or understand this small village located in the southwestern border of the motherland. The original Yi ethnic village with hundreds of years of history will realize basic living facilities such as water supply and electricity supply by the end of 2010.
Weng Ding Village is affiliated to the Qijiao Township of Wuyuan Yi Autonomous County. It is about 40 kilometers from Wuyuan County. It is basically a asphalt road. The road is good and the journey takes more than one hour. At night, you can choose to live in Wuyuan or Huma. The autonomous county lived, the horse was a little farther away, about 90 kilometers, because of the road conditions and speed limit, driving about three hours.
The ancient Weng Ding Village still continues the traditional life of men and women, women can not only use the money from the weaving cloth to supplement the home, but also use their own cloth to make sheets, bedding, clothes and other home Retained.
Wuyuan Wending, a Yi women sitting in their own courtyard brocade, Jin is the legend of the beautiful and beautiful of the Ayi Mountain. According to legend, the "King" of the brocade is borrowed from the "Jin" of the beautiful scenery, which means to use the natural scenery. Rich and varied beauty to describe the colorful beauty of the brocade. People who have seen the Yi brocade in the Ayi Mountain almost have a feeling that the brocade is like a rainbow, beautiful and natural. Each pattern is like a picture of the environment and life of the Yi people. Never forget. The
Yu people in the old saying mean "people living in the mountains." Because the Yi people are located in remote areas of China, they have been in the slash-and-burn stage of primitive society before liberation. After liberation, they have transitioned to modern society, leaving many imprints of primitive society.
It is not difficult to see that Weng Dingzhai retains the original Yi folk house architecture style and the original Dai ethnic customs. It is the best preserved original group village so far, and it has been praised as the last primitive tribe in China by National Geographic magazine.
