I have already returned to Heqing, so I really don’t recommend going there.

🌅In the long river of time, there are always some picturesque places waiting for us to explore. In February, when the spring breeze was still a little chilly, I embarked on a journey to Heqing and encountered a different kind of romance in this poetic land. Tour route 🚗 - Day 1: Arrive in Heqing → Xilongtan Park Morning: Arrive in Heqing from the departure point, take a short rest, and then go to Xilongtan Park. The water in the pond here is clear, the light of the sky and the shadows of the clouds are wandering together, and there are weeping willows swaying around. Take a stroll among them and feel the freshness of spring. Afternoon: Stroll along the trails around Xilongtan, enjoy the rural scenery, and experience the leisurely rural atmosphere. - Day 2: Xinhua Village → Caohai Wetland Morning: Go to Xinhua Village, a famous silverware town. Visit silverware shops, admire the exquisite silverware craftsmanship, and experience silverware making yourself. Afternoon: Go to Caohai Wetland, take a boat through the reeds, watch water birds playing, and feel the tranquility and beauty of nature. - Day 3: Shizhaizi → Return Morning: Arrive at Shizhaizi, where you can not only see the unique Bai architecture, but also overlook the beautiful scenery of Heqing County. Afternoon: Pack your bags and return home with lots of great memories. Take photos and check in at scenic spots📸 - Xilongtan Park: Standing on the stone bridge beside the pond, with the clear water and the mountains in the distance as the background, every shot is a blockbuster. - Xinhua Village: Take a photo with the traditional craftsmanship while holding the freshly made silverware in front of the silverware workshop. - Caohai Wetland: Sit on the bow of the boat and take natural and fresh photos with the swaying reeds in the wind as the background. - Shizhaizi: On the observation deck, leave your own image with the entire Heqing County as the background. Food recommendations 🍜 - Heqing rice cake: It has a soft and sticky texture, a light rice aroma, and melts in your mouth. It is a traditional local snack. - Raw skin: Select high-quality pork, which has been specially processed, the meat is tender and delicious when paired with special dipping sauce. - Eight Great Bowls: Traditional Bai banquet delicacies, including steamed pork with rice flour, braised pork with pork belly, crispy pork, etc. Each dish is delicious and fragrant. Accommodation suggestions 🏨 - County town hotels: convenient transportation, complete surrounding facilities, moderate prices, suitable for tourists who pursue convenience. - B&Bs: especially those near tourist attractions, where you can better experience the local customs and culture. Some B&Bs also have courtyards and beautiful environments. Things to note ⚠️ - In February, the temperature difference between morning and evening in Heqing is quite large, so please remember to bring warm clothes. - When taking a boat in Caohai Wetland, please obey the boatman's instructions and pay attention to safety. - When buying silverware, be careful to distinguish the authenticity and choose regular merchants. - Respect local customs and habits, especially in Bai ethnic minority areas. Heqing, like a pearl lost in the world, exudes a unique charm in the spring of February. This journey is not only a simple trip, but also a baptism of the soul. If you also long for a trip away from the hustle and bustle, why not come to Heqing!
