    It's definitely worth a visit, perfect for a slow-paced lifestyle. Stay in the ancient town and enjoy the leisurely pace of life. The sunset at the Shushu Bookstore is incredibly photogenic, and the reflections on the river in the morning are breathtaking. The Ancient Guanyin Forest offers a vast expanse of natural scenery, but I didn't upload any photos because there were people in the pictures. Heshun Ancient Town is the kind of place you'd want to visit again even after just one visit.

    Tengchong is famous for its natural geothermal hot springs. It's recommended to get off at the first stop of the electric shuttle bus at the scenic area entrance, hike up the mountain to enjoy the scenery along the way, and then take the shuttle bus down. If you have time, you can also soak in the hot springs.

    The mangrove forest is very beautiful and perfect for taking photos. The air is fresh and the scenery is beautiful. There are birds there, including what appears to be egrets, which are very pretty. Next to it is the Haigeng Dam where you can see red-billed gulls.

    The location is rather remote. The attraction opens at 8:00 AM. After buying round-trip tickets, we were told we had to wait until 8:30 AM to catch the bus, so we walked up ourselves. There aren't many other interesting sights inside; just a large and a small empty mountain that doesn't really show any volcanic remains. The hot air balloon ride costs 300 yuan and only lasts seven or eight minutes. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're specifically going for a hot air balloon ride. It's neither fun nor offers any particularly good scenery.

    Late November to early December is the most beautiful time of year in Tengchong Ginkgo Village. The golden ginkgo leaves, the thick "golden carpet," the ancient village, and the wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys—the scene is truly beautiful.

    The hot spring area isn't very large, with indoor pools (each with a separate fee), outdoor pools, and an outdoor pool. The water is very smooth, the hygiene is acceptable, and the service is good. It's primarily known for its high cost-performance ratio. It's more convenient to get there by car. We took a taxi, and when we left, we had to wait a long time to get one.

    Very good experience. The environment is very good. The staff is also very responsible and very patient. This is the best hot spring I have ever been to. The receptionist at the front desk is also very good. Overall, I had a very happy time.

    It's a short walk from the National Cemetery. It's a great and rare sight to see a waterfall in the city. Once you enter, you're above the waterfall and can walk down to the bottom.

    The entrance fee wasn't expensive, but the extra charges inside were outrageous. The grassland was beautiful, but most of it was fenced off. However, the景区 service was decent; the sightseeing bus was readily available, and a kind lady even helped me make a phone call. 🚗🙏
