    "Dali Ancient City, no tickets are required, I came in during the day, it was quite big, there were several areas inside, we couldn't find them. Because I am a team, I gave 2 hours. I think if you want to play well, it is best to come in the afternoon and play together at night. To play well. I ate beef skewers for 10 yuan and flower cakes for 10 yuan for four. No packaging. After the trip came out, I bought a box of flower cakes, which was delicious in the ancient city."

    Tengchong
    78.3km from Yingjiang
    Highlights: Tengchong Beihai Wetland National AAAA-level attraction is located 12.5km northeast of Tengchong City, Yunnan Province. It is the only volcanic barrier lake floating carpet wetland in China. The attraction is surrounded by mountains. It is a subtropical volcanic rock barrier lake formed by the eruption of Cenozoic volcanoes 600,000 years ago. The nutrient-rich volcanic ash has nurtured a large area of ​​meadows floating on the water, forming a colorful giant floating carpet on the water. The wetland is famous for its biodiversity due to its three-dimensional ecosystem composed of alpine forests, floating carpets on the water surface and barrier lakes. It is known as the "Kidney of the Earth" and "Gene Bank of Wetland Species". More than 300 years ago, Xu Xiake, a traveler in the Ming Dynasty, visited here in person. In his "Yunnan Travel Diary", he left a description of the magical landscape of Beihai Wetland: "The lake is as large as a thousand acres, with green weeds in the middle, and the bottom is like floating grass. There are also streams running through it, but they cannot rise." The altitude here is 1,750 meters, with negative oxygen ions as high as 16,000/cubic centimeter, and PM2.5 less than 10 all year round. It is a world-recognized longevity and livable altitude zone. It is a good place for you to escape the heat and cold, enjoy beautiful scenery and fresh oxygen, and have a good vacation. You can take a small boat and bamboo raft to roam in the water, feel the company of fish, shrimps and birds, the breeze is gentle, the water is calm, and you are at ease. Here you can experience grass rafts, stepping on grass, stepping on fish, grilling fish, etc., and enjoy the fun of nature. There is a floating water plank road here, allowing you to get closer to many precious birds and exotic flowers and plants in the wetland, including the blue-headed duck known as the "giant panda among birds", the "giant panda among plants" Brasenia schrenkiana and hundreds of other rare animals and plants, and experience the vivid fun of the natural classroom. Here, you can experience the unique four-season experience of "appreciating the romance of irises in spring", "enjoying the coolness of the sea of ​​clouds in summer", "shooting the colorful sea of ​​flowers in autumn", and "watching the flock of migratory birds in winter", and enjoy the beautiful encounter between the mountains and the sea in the Beihai Wetland.
