On this winter day, I embarked on a journey to Sichuan, with the destination being Hongge Copper Hot Pot Street and the surrounding scenic spots: Ertan, Gesala and Hongge. I was full of anticipation for this trip. Hot pot, the passion and life on this land, always seems to ignite people's taste buds and emotions.
Hongge Copper Hot Pot Street
As soon as I entered Hongge Copper Hot Pot Street, I felt like I had stepped into an ancient world. On both sides of the street, smoke wafted from the copper hot pot shops, emitting an enticing aroma. The hot pot here is different from the common Sichuan spicy hot pot. Its soup base is rich, using special seasonings and broth, coupled with fresh ingredients, it is unforgettable.
I chose a hot pot shop that looked quite historical to sit down. The copper hot pot in the shop emitted a faint golden light, which was interesting with the wooden tables and chairs. With the dancing flames, the soup in the pot was rolling, and the aroma was overflowing. I picked up a piece of tender lamb and put it into the pot. In an instant, the aroma of the meat and the taste of the soup base perfectly blended.
While tasting the delicious food, I chatted with the shop owner about the history of Hongge copper hot pot. It turns out that the hot pot culture here has a long history and was popular as early as the Qing Dynasty. The shop owner proudly said that the hot pot here is not only unique in taste, but also rich in nutrition. Many people from other places even drive here to taste it.
Ertan Scenic Area
Leaving Hongge Copper Hot Pot Street, I went to Ertan Scenic Area. This is a national forest park located in Panzhihua City, Sichuan Province, known for its majestic mountains, clear lakes and dense forests.
Walking in Ertan Scenic Area, I felt like I was in a landscape painting. The lake was rippling with blue waves, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds and the surrounding mountains. Occasionally, a few water birds skimmed over the lake, leaving a string of ripples.
Walking along the lake, I came to the viewing platform of the scenic area. Standing here, the entire beauty of Ertan is in sight. The mountains in the distance are undulating, and the lake nearby is like a mirror, everything is so peaceful and harmonious.
Gesala Eco-tourism Area
Leaving Ertan Scenic Area, I came to Gesala Eco-tourism Area. Located in Yanbian County at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, it is a tourist attraction that integrates natural landscapes, folk culture and outdoor sports.
Entering Gesala, what came into view was a continuous hilly grassland. The grassland was green and lush, with wild flowers competing for beauty, like the palette of the earth. In the distance, herds of cattle and sheep were leisurely walking, contrasting with the blue sky and white clouds.
In addition to the beautiful natural scenery, there are also rich outdoor activities. I chose to ride through the grassland to feel the freedom and joy. As the wheels of the bicycle rolled, the wind on the grassland gently brushed my cheeks, taking away the fatigue of the day.
Hongge Hot Spring Resort
On the last day of the trip, I came to Hongge Hot Spring Resort. Located in the southern part of Panzhihua City, it is a resort that integrates hot springs, leisure and sightseeing.
Coming to Hongge Hot Spring, I couldn't wait to change into a swimsuit and throw myself into the embrace of the hot spring. The hot spring water here is clear and contains a variety of minerals, which are said to be beneficial to the skin and health. I closed my eyes, felt the gentleness of the hot spring water sliding over my skin, and listened to the sounds of nature around me - the birdsong and the sound of water intertwined into a hymn of nature.
After soaking in the hot spring, I wandered around the resort. There are various entertainment facilities and food stalls, people are playing in the water or tasting local snacks, enjoying this rare leisure time. I tasted a bowl of local special cold noodles, the taste was smooth and delicious, which put a perfect end to this trip.
