Gaoligongshan National Nature Reserve

🌈 Yunnan Tengchong is really underrated. In the early years, Lijiang and Dali were being developed, but after actually coming to Yunnan, I found that Tengchong is a more treasured place. It's not too commercialized here, and the natural scenic areas are well protected. It's a very suitable town for a vacation residence~ - ✅ This is the Gaoligong Mountains, which have been described by netizens as 'primeval forest', 'Jurassic Park', and 'real-life Twilight City'. There are also various hot spring experiences. Not only can you feast your eyes on the scenery, but also the comfortable hot springs can relieve fatigue. It's really great! - ✅ If you want to see the beautiful sea of clouds in Tengchong, I recommend: Yuanxiang Gaoligong Town, where you can stay at the Yunshang Time Mountain View Hot Spring B&B. Facing the Gaoligong mountain range, with continuous peaks and changing clouds, it's as beautiful as a fairyland~ You can see the stunning sea of clouds after the rain in the early morning and evening, especially in summer! - ✅ The rooms in the B&B are also beautifully decorated, with a romantic and gentle feeling, and there are supporting public facilities: hot springs, library, coffee shop, etc. You won't get tired of staying here for a week, climbing mountains, watching clouds, looking at flowers, daydreaming, soaking in hot springs, life is leisurely, truly a place for lying flat~ - 🌟 Also sharing two niche attractions: ❤️ Simolaw Wa Village: No admission fee is required here, and there are battery cars available for a round trip at a very reasonable price. Plus, there's a beautiful forest inside where you can capture the romantic atmosphere of the forest from the movie 'Atonement'. ❤️ Dongshan Grassland: This is Tengchong's 'Little Switzerland', with very healing and photogenic scenery. Just be aware that the wind can be quite strong, so bring an extra coat! Time of Clouds

Nanzhai Ancient Road is located on the Gaoligong Mountain at the junction of Longyang District, Baoshan City, Yunnan Province and Tengchong City. It is part of the Southwest Silk Road (Shu-Shen Poison Road) and is an important traffic line between ancient China and India. The Gaoligong Mountain runs from south to north, stretching for hundreds of kilometers, and is a natural barrier that the Southwest Silk Road must cross. In history, there were three mountain-crossing roads: the northern line, the central line, and the southern line. The central line is the Nanzhai Public House Ancient Road. This road was opened during the Han and Jin Dynasties. During the Tang Dynasty, the Nanzhao Kingdom designated it as an official post road and carried out large-scale expansion and paving. After the Yuan Dynasty, it was changed to civilian use. It was not abandoned until the Baoteng Highway was opened to traffic in the 1950s. Now it is a mature outdoor hiking route. Starting from Baihualing on the eastern slope with an altitude of about 1500 meters, passing through the Nanzhai Public House Pass with an altitude of more than 3100 meters, and ending at Linjiapu on the western slope with an altitude of about 2200 meters, the whole journey is about 20 kilometers.

Tengchong is my favorite city in the whole Yunnan Province, I like its simplicity, its beautiful scenery, its tranquility, and its cultural history... - So how to play in Tengchong in January and February⁉️ Do I need to say it? Hiking in Gaoligong Mountain is a must, especially the 5Km mid-mountain route in Cuanlong Ancient Village. · So why is the 5Km mid-mountain route in Cuanlong Ancient Village worth going⁉️ 1️⃣As I said, it's mid-mountain, so the vegetation is definitely richer than at the foot of the mountain, and it's green all year round, there's no bare scenery on this route😎 2️⃣Near the protection circle, the waterfall flows all year round, even in winter, you can still take good pictures📸 3️⃣Forest picnic (volcanic stone barbecue, horse gang thunder tea) and special dinner (Dendrobium stewed local chicken, wild mushroom steamed local chicken egg, mountain grass wild vegetables, etc.) are super delicious😋, every time I go to the mountain I can eat until I'm full 4⃣️The most important thing is to give guests a better experience, the number of people entering the mountain is limited every day🚷 ...... Of course, there are many sceneries that I can't describe with words, you can only come and see👀 and feel it yourself. And for those who are planning to come to Tengchong this spring, I hope this article can help you‼️
