South of the Colorful Clouds - Exploring the Ancient Tea-Horse Road
South of the Colorful Clouds|Exploring the Ancient Tea-Horse Road
A few horses, a group of people, have stepped out a world-famous plateau ancient road on the surface of the earth that is sealed as a "dead end" - the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, which is the only ancient civilization road still in operation on the mainland.
Xishuangbanna, Lijiang, Shangri-La, Tengchong are all harbors to save fatigue on the way of tea-horse trade. The scent of tea is still there, let's take another trip on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road!
Xishuangbanna|The starting point of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road
The "tea-horse trade" that rose in the Tang and Song dynasties started here. For a thousand years, the tea farmers of all generations have been adhering to the natural laws, protecting the tea trees, picking the tea leaves and making Pu'er tea, and sending the Pu'er tea here to Tibet in the sound of horse hooves. The tea of Xishuangbanna has made the Ancient Tea-Horse Road and has profoundly influenced the world tea culture.
Recommended Hotel: Xishuangbanna Yuechun Hot Spring Resort Hotel
The hotel is located in Menghai County, the "first county of Chinese Pu'er tea". Here you can personally experience tea picking, tea frying, tea making, and finally hold a cup of pure Pu'er, and feel the charm of Menghai's tea culture in the lingering tea fragrance.
Lijiang was a heavy town on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road in the past. At that time, the horse teams from the south to the north would rest here, receiving thousands of business travelers every year. It can be said that the glory of Lijiang is the glory stepped out by horse hooves, and its culture is the culture brought by the horse team. Whether it is architecture, religion, ethnic characteristics, lifestyle, etc., they are all closely related to the horse team.

I took a lifetime photo with my twin daughters in Xishuangbanna!
Xishuangbanna in winter is the ceiling of domestic parent-child travel, right? The weather in the 20s is not cold or hot, and I sleep naturally with my daughters every day, then change into Dai costumes to be Dai girls together, take beautiful photos, stroll and eat, and then soak in hot springs, it's really super comfortable and comfortable!
📷Share a few niche and suitable places for taking pictures with children:
✅Menghai Mengbalai Love Manor: You can see peacocks flying every day at 4 pm, and it's the first time for my daughters and I to see the scene of peacocks flying in the legend, the scene is quite shocking! You can also feed the peacocks, and you can easily take the same picture with the peacocks. This time I was lucky to take a lifetime photo with the peacocks opening their screens with my daughters.
✅Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion: It's quite far from the city, but basically no one, it's no problem to shoot the whole scene, the temple has a history of more than 300 years, it's a niche and low-key temple in Banna, but it's quite out of the picture to take pictures, especially aerial photography.
✅Yuechun Hot Spring: How can you not enjoy the hot spring when you come to Banna for vacation~ The buildings in Yuechun Hot Spring are full of Southeast Asian exotic style, it's very out of the picture to take pictures, especially the milk pool, it's really good to soak and take pictures, you can walk to the hot spring from the nearby Yuechun Hotel, remember to rent a Dai costume, the matching degree here is really high, and I easily took hundreds of photos~
✅Prajna Temple: The all-white temple, shining in the sun, it's really super out of the picture to take pictures! The main tower is not big, it takes 3 minutes to go around, if it rains, you can take a low-angle shot of the reflection on the ground, it's very shocking!
✅Manyuan Village: The mushroom house in 'Life of Yearning' is hidden here, the whole village is very quiet and comfortable, you can see the traditional Dai stilted houses, and you can also experience papermaking, pottery and other projects with children, the roast chicken and fresh juice in the village are delicious and cheap, it's worth a try.
🔖Travel Tips:
🔘The temperature difference is large in the morning and evening in winter, it's best to prepare a thin coat;
🔘There are many mosquitoes, you need to carry mosquito repellent when you go out;
🔘Don't wear shoulder-exposed and back-exposed clothes when shooting in the temple, skirts and trousers should also be over the knee;
🔘The attractions are quite scattered and a bit far away, it's recommended to drive by yourself if you bring children.
