[2025 Baoshan Attraction] Travel Guide for Banqiao Ancient Town (Updated Mar)

|Go out for a trip and your MBTI is exposed. I really like to relax at a slow pace, sleep in, have brunch, and travel happily along the pre-planned route (J people confirmed it). Do you ISFJs always do this when you go out? 2 Seasons Hotel (Baoshan Yongchang Avenue Branch) I always like to stay at All Seasons when I travel, but! !! Baoshan store is really the best service I have ever encountered. It focuses on all-round positive actions without nonsense. Xiaodong Bookstore (P2-5) The first stop after leaving the hotel was here. I was attracted by the place as soon as I arrived at the door. Every location was beautifully decorated, from the front hall to the backyard. There were many out-of-print books inside, and the content was very comprehensive. I found two interesting old books to take away. The owner also chatted with us and said that the books we liked were very niche. The boss is very nice! !! You can take pictures freely and quietly. Hu Ke Coffee (P6-10) A courtyard that integrates oriental aesthetics and optics. We chatted with the boss for a while. I bought some fragrant coffee beans for my good sister. Before leaving, the boss handed me a cup of tea. It was so special. It was brewed with coffee bean skins. It tasted slightly sweet and had a strong coffee aroma. It was a pity that there were no semi-finished products for sale. Qinglong Street, Banqiao Town (P11-15) The commercial atmosphere is better than other old streets. There are bookstores and century-old teahouses. It's quite interesting to walk around and stop. I actually saw coffee beans in Biton Coffee and immediately arranged for it. I was happy. I saw coffee beans in Biton Coffee and immediately arranged for it.

You can sit on the left side of the hall when you enter the door for better ventilation or sit by the window. Qinghuahai National Wetland Park After dinner, we walked around the park to digest the food and climbed up to see the scenery of Baoshan. We were ready to end our trip to Baoshan and set off for Mangshi. I really like this city. In just two days, it brought us a lot of comfort and surprises. It was beyond our plan but satisfying.

early. Baoshan city doesn’t seem to have many attractions worth mentioning. The Dali-Baoshan section of the Dali-Ruili Railway has been in operation for more than a year, and it only takes one and a half hours to travel from Dali to Baoshan. When I first arrived in Baoshan, my first stop was to visit Qinglong Street in Banqiao Ancient Town. The rice noodle rolls are delicious, the tea fee in the century-old teahouse is only three yuan, and the pastries in Zhilanxuan are very crispy. Qinglong Street was an important post station on the ancient southern "Silk Road". The street layout is relatively intact, and there are several shops that display and sell intangible cultural heritage experiences. This place was only renovated two years ago and has average traffic.

Baoshan is the transfer station from Kunming to Tengchong. Its "upstream and downstream cities" are very popular and famous, such as Tengchong, Dali, and even Mangshi and Ruili. However, Baoshan seems to have no sense of existence. Everyone rushes to Dali. Tengchong, would not choose to stay here. The people I met, including the innkeepers in Tengchong and Mangshi, said there was no need to stay here and there was nothing interesting to do. Even when I took a taxi in Mangshi, the driver from Baoshan said the same. But I don’t believe in evil. When I returned to Kunming from Mangshi and transferred through Baoshan, I chose not to believe in evil and stayed one night in Baoshan. The moment I set foot on the land of this small town, I knew I was in the right place. I have to say that this small town knows how to relax. The climate is more comfortable, cooler and more pleasant than Mangshi and Ruili. Now I have to wear long pants and a jacket when going out. . Riding a small tram, I immersed myself in the sense of relaxation that this small town brought me. This sense of relaxation is different from Tengchong, because there is almost no commercialization in Baoshan. It gives you a natural sense of relaxation that radiates from the inside out, conveying peace, calmness and openness to you like a good temptation. Just like your best friend, you won't feel awkward if you don't talk face to face, but comfortable and comfortable. From Tengchong, to Mangshi, to Ruili, to Baoshan, all the way back, this line is really delicious, and the tastes in each place are different. As soon as I stepped into Qinglong Street, I had a serving of pounded chicken feet, which was sour and delicious. The small skewers on the roadside were also unexpectedly amazing. It was paired with Banqiao Lafite (papaya water, sour and sweet taste, which the locals call Lafite is very comfortable! The merchants here are very Buddhist. It's up to you whether you want to buy something, whether you want to pay for it, and how much you want to pay. There are several unattended stores like the ones in Figure 4. There are more than a dozen intangible cultural heritage shops in Qinglong Street. I walked into a century-old teahouse, which still retains the ancient way of making tea, with firewood stoves, old tables and chairs, and unlimited refills for 3 yuan. Opposite the teahouse is a non-heritage teahouse. The tangible cultural heritage snack shop, Guixianglou, costs 14 yuan for a bag. I drank tea and had snacks at the teahouse, with stir-fried sugar, which was very comfortable. I have been to many ancient towns, and Banqiao Ancient Town must be the one with the most elderly people. They share a table with me to eat skewers and drink Baoshan Lafite (papaya water). They eat snacks in teahouses, listen to "Chengdu" in taverns, and This is the first time I have seen a movie and gathered together to chat in an ancient town. It’s 10:30 in the middle of the night, and many elderly people are still doing nightlife. I think this must be a charming small town to be like this. Time flows slowly here. The tea table fee is 3 yuan per person with unlimited refills. The skewers are 1 yuan per skewer and are amazing. There is no boss in the juice shop and you can do whatever you want... A small border town and a thousand-year-old ancient town, Baoshan is worth your stay.
