I don't want to work! I want to go to Tengchong to breathe fresh air!

📍 Hua Zhu · Yunbian Hot Spring Art Hostel 🌋The hostel is hidden on the hillside of Heshun Ancient Town, backed by volcanoes and facing Yeyahu Lake and thousands of acres of rice paddies. It's a 5-minute walk to the 600-year-old cobblestone streets of the ancient town. The location is secluded and close to core attractions such as the former residence of Ai Siqi and the wetland park. Within a 10-minute drive, you can reach Rehai Scenic Area, Beihai Wetland, and Volcano Geopark. The courtyard is quiet and peaceful. When you open the window, you're greeted by lush greenery. Accompanied by the gurgling water, goldfish swim around in the pond. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the service is incredibly attentive. There are several highly-rated restaurants nearby, so dining is very convenient. 🚗Convenient transportation benefits ✔Free airport/station transfer for stays of 2 nights or more (direct transfer from Tengchong Tuofeng Airport/High-speed Rail Station) ✔A blessing for drivers: Free parking lot + independent garage, no parking headaches in the ancient town ✨Ancient town guide ✅Visit the morning market and eat thin bean flour: At 7 a.m., join the locals at the century-old food street and enjoy baitsi with freshly ground soy milk. ✅Sketch at Yeyahu Lake: Capture the reflections of white walls and gray tiles. ✅Intangible cultural heritage handicrafts: Learn rattan weaving/pottery and take home a piece of Tengchong. 🚶♀ My amazing 5-day, 4-night itinerary D1 ✈Fly directly to Tengchong - check in to the hostel and enjoy a healing private hot spring bath.
