Inside attractions include electric cars, tour boats, bamboo rafts, grass mats, water bicycles, etc. It is recommended to buy a package ticket for a better deal. 🌟Highlights: In the evening, the grass sea wetland is less crowded, and it's especially good for taking photos with the setting sun. Distant mountains and nearby water, sunset glow, egrets soaring, small boats leisurely floating, water grass swaying, wild ducks at ease, all paint a beautiful picture. After entering the park gate, there is a spot perfect for taking beautiful photos. Take a few shots first, then take an electric car to Pier No. 3, where you can find grass mats and water bicycle activities. Continue along the wooden walkway for more scenic photography. At the end of the walkway is the boat pier, where you can choose to take a boat or a bamboo raft. Sitting in the tour boat, traveling among the green mountains and waters is like being in a painting. 📌Little Tips: Strongly recommend visiting the wetland in the evening; if taking a boat, it is advised to buy a package ticket at the park entrance, as buying a boat ticket inside is much more expensive; if you do not wish to take a boat, there is no need for an electric car, as walking on the walkway offers beautiful scenery.

The first time seeing a smoking sea - the heart of Tengchong's Rehai A must-visit according to the Tengchong guide is the 'Rehai Boiling Pot'. Decided to climb the mountain for steamed eggs amidst the grass! Recommend everyone to buy duck eggs O, which have a light salty taste when steamed, and the yolk is very fragrant. The climb is about 30 minutes, not very shaky and relatively gentle. O You can buy them at the foot of the mountain and bring them up, which is indeed cheaper than buying them on the mountain. Hand them to the staff, and they will give you a slip of paper with the time written on it. When the time comes, you can collect your own eggs with the slip of paper.
