The ancient town is very big and has beautiful scenery. The climb is very tiring, but there are not many people and it is not very commercialized. The snacks in the evening are not bad, and there are many coffee shops. The hand-brewed coffee is super cheap, only 5 yuan a cup, but we didn't drink it. We went to Chunye Coffee. The scenery and price are both "good", but I still recommend it. I booked a 200 yuan battery car to take you around the ancient town, but it is actually just a means of transportation. There is no explanation. Just go in and take a look if you are interested. If you can climb by yourself, you don't need to take a ride
The management of the ancient town needs to be further strengthened. The battery cars are a bit messy. The core scenery is mostly in the area at the entrance. There is a lack of distinctive places to sit down and drink tea or coffee.

Tengchong Rehai Scenic Area is a hot spring destination brimming with magic and charm. Dotted with numerous gas springs and hot springs, the area is enveloped in mist, creating a sense of wonderland. The Rehai Big Boiling Pot is the star attraction, boasting a water temperature of approximately 96°C. While immersion is prohibited, the boiled eggs sold poolside are a unique delicacy that will captivate you. Along the circular trail, you'll encounter a variety of springs, including the Pregnancy Well, Spectacle Spring, and Pearl Spring, each with its own unique name and story. Tengchong Rehai Scenic Area also offers two hot spring bathing areas: Jade Valley and Beauty Pool. The Valley boasts over 20 unique hot spring pools, while the Beauty Pool is a natural spa paradise, offering both physical and mental relaxation.
After exploring the area, enjoy the local cuisine at one of the scenic area's restaurants or stay overnight at a hotel to fully experience the charm of this magical hot spring destination.
As mainland China's only area where volcanoes and geothermal energy coexist, Tengchong is renowned for its 99 majestic volcanoes and 88 gushing hot springs. Take a hot air balloon ride overlooking the "Big Dipper" chain of volcanoes in the Volcanic Geological Park, or soak in the cool waters of Dongshan Hot Springs while gazing at the stars – these truly immersive summer escapes offer a romantic escape. In the 600-year-old Heshun Ancient Town, bluestone pavement connects Ming and Qing dynasty ancestral halls with a village library, where stories of horse caravans and overseas Chinese communities flow amidst the hustle and bustle of life. The emerald meadows of the Beihai Wetlands create floating islands resembling "water grasslands," while the Western Yunnan Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall commemorates the nation's backbone through its epic epic. Described by Xu Xiake as "the first city on the extreme frontier," this place weaves a harmonious symphony of nature and humanity amidst the surging volcanic hot springs and the warm morning mist of the ancient town.

Beihai Wetland Park offers stunning scenery. On a good day, the blue sky and white clouds are reflected beautifully in the water. The park offers activities like bamboo rafting, grass rafting, and water bikes, so it's worth buying a combined ticket.
A wetland park. My friend took me to a nearby farmhouse for dinner. It was delicious. The kids had a lot of fun playing water activities. We encountered heavy rain during the trip. It was good to have a place to hide in the park.

The parking lot of the scenic area is very large. After entering the scenic area, we took the children to the Volcano Museum first, and then took a sightseeing bus to climb Dakong Mountain. On the way, we could overlook the hot air balloons and paragliders. We stopped and walked all the way to the crater. We did not climb Xiaokong Mountain. Compared with Ulan Hada Volcano, the volcanic landform is not too obvious, and there are fewer volcanoes that can be climbed, but it wins in the surrounding green scenery.
The ticket includes a round trip shuttle bus. I took the shuttle bus and played with the hot air balloon. The moment the balloon rose was like a dream, so exciting. Seeing the staff sweating profusely, I felt sorry for them. However, the fee was not cheap. It cost 300 yuan for 6 seconds, which is quite expensive. The Xiaokongshan crater is slightly larger than the Dakongshan crater.

Although I bought the entrance ticket, there are many courtyards in the village that charge a fee or allow taking photos, which is too commercial. Apart from this, the scenery and atmosphere are still good.
This time I checked in at Tengchong Ginkgo Village. The overall experience was pretty good, and I give it four stars. I came here for the beautiful scenery of ginkgo trees, but unfortunately the itinerary was arranged earlier. When I arrived, most of the ginkgo leaves were still green, with sporadic golden leaves dotted among them. I didn't see the spectacular golden scenery of the mountains and plains as I imagined, which was a bit regrettable. However, the village itself is very charming, with quaint farmhouses and winding alleys. Walking through it, you can feel the quiet and leisurely rural atmosphere. The local villagers are also very hospitable, and the special farm dishes are delicious, which makes this journey a little warmer. It is recommended that friends who want to come must pay attention to the best viewing period of ginkgo in advance. I believe that when the leaves are all yellow, this place will be stunningly beautiful!

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.
The spa at Angsana is really great. There are many types of outdoor hot spring pools, the environment is very beautiful, the atmosphere is great, and there are also treatments. We decided to go to the hot springs on a last minute basis and bought swimsuits on site. All the staff were very welcoming. The bath towels were warm and freshly disinfected. We went in the evening and many guests had already left. We had almost the entire outdoor facilities of the hot springs to ourselves. The experience was extremely perfect.

If you come to Teng to soak in hot springs, don't miss the Dongshan Hot Spring Village, which has a super good value for money. It has a swimming pool and more than 30 hot spring pools, a steam room, and good service. The prices of ordering food in the restaurant are also affordable.
Online ticket purchase is affordable and cost-effective. There are more than 20 hot spring pools of different sizes. A towel and ginger tea are provided free of charge. The service is thoughtful and courteous. There are fewer people in the morning, the water quality is clean, and the experience is better.

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.
This is a small scenic spot located in Tengchong City, featuring two waterfalls. One roars like a yellow dragon, thundering with force; the other tinkles like pearls gurgling in the water. It's truly amazing!

Yunfeng Mountain, like a fairyland. Here the peaks are steep, the earth is leaning against the sky, the distant view is like a jade towering, and the close view is clear and beautiful. There are many monuments in the mountains, the oldest and largest cliff carving group in Beijing and the thousand-year-old temples are superb, all showing a deep historical and cultural heritage. Walking between them, the stream is flowing, the forest is vast, as if in a natural paradise and museum. The top overlooks the Miyun Reservoir, with a panoramic view of the blue waves, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. It is a great tourist attraction integrating natural scenery and humanistic landscape.
The cable car is a bit slow, 25 minutes one way, and then you have to climb a few hundred meters, but the steps are very high and steep, so it is not recommended for the elderly to climb this last section. At the top is the Taoist temple, many people burn incense and ask for divination
