Have Fun🍃🌸🌳☁️🏞️🦋🐵🐾 Pages 2–7: 📍Sun River Forest Park Trust me! You have to go here!! The butterflies in Butterfly Valley fly to the entrance to welcome guests, attracting many to stop and watch. The keepers let the baby muntjacs that had just been born out to play, and we even saw them being fed. We spent half an hour just wandering around the entrance. We didn't see the celebrity gibbon, Ding Ding, but we were lucky enough to see a red panda. I became a total fan! Every move it made was so cute! I even spent CNY 20 to feed it apples, haha. I really like this place. The animals aren't kept in enclosures and are free to come and go. Many of the animals weren't there because they were playing in the mountains. It's best to go in the morning, when the animals are more active. You can also see them being fed. Tour duration: 3.5 hrs. This place is perfect for walking, taking your baby, or dating! If you take the electric car, you don't have to walk much, and there are fewer stairs. Transportation🚘: I chose to rent a car that day. Renting a car for a day isn't that expensive, and you can choose your own route and time. After leaving Sun River, I went to the coffee plantation. It's very convenient to drive. Pages 8–10: 📍Dakai River Plum Coffee Plantation It's so pleasant to drink coffee and chat while enjoying the beautiful scenery🏞️. But I don't really like the coffee here. It's too sour, so I'll reserve my opinion on the taste. The most photogenic spot is the meditation room. Be sure to take pictures there! P.S. Parking is free. Page 11: 📍Ancient Tea Horse Road Ancient City I don't really recommend it. The ancient city is very, very, very commercialized. I was thinking that Keep Running had come here, so I took a detour to visit it on the way back to the hotel. If you're interested, you can go and see it. You have to walk for quite a while. The real Ancient Tea Horse Road is outside the ancient city. You can ride horses or take a walk. 📍Daijia Alley I forgot to take pictures. I heard it was very popular, so I thought I'd go and see it. The buildings are quite old and are all coffee shops☕️. Many hand-drip coffee shops offer unlimited refills. You can meet up with friends for coffee and enjoy the sun and chat all afternoon. But! This alley is very short, maybe only about 200m, so don't expect to spend a long time shopping. If you're just strolling around and taking pictures, 30 mins is enough.

🌳Although I live in Yunnan, I always think Pu'er is a special place with rich vegetation and many delicious foods. But after traveling once, I found that it was just like that Due to the weather, I didn't see the sunrise over the sea of ​​clouds, but I still took some beautiful pictures. There were a lot of people during the holidays, so I didn't get to eat what I wanted. There are some scams in the popular online stores, too. You have to wait in line to get food, and some of the food is not tasty. Recommended to play 💖 1️⃣ Sun River Forest Park (P2-4) My favorite and happiest stop. I love the animals so much. The air is good, the greenery is great, my rhinitis is cured, and I feel relaxed with my friends. 2️⃣Fish wrapped in vegetables (P5) is so delicious! Because it was a reservation system, I ate it the next day. The raw beef and passion fruit special dipping sauce went well together. The fish wrapped in vegetables, fried fish, and barbecue were also delicious, but I didn't leave a deep impression. 3️⃣ Ah Xian Jia Sour Chicken Feet (P6) I really like it. The hawthorn is pounded. Fruits with water are also delicious. Potatoes are also delicious😋. If there are too many people, don’t order chicken feet. It’s not tasty. 4️⃣April Asakusa Wind (p7) Pu'er's favorite drink! The sour and sweet tamarind juice and guava juice are both delicious! I feel hungry again. 5️⃣ Jian Yu Coffee + Dessert Shop Next Door (P8) Every dish is delicious, specially prepared and delicious. The raspberry cake and chestnut cake from the dessert shop next door go really well together. I love them. General Recommendation 🥹 1️⃣ Jingmai Mountain (P9～10) Yunnan has done a good job in greening. You may feel ordinary when you enter, but you will find it so beautiful when you look back. It is far to enter the village, the transportation is not convenient, and the price of chartering a car is high, but each season has its own unique flavor. Food: Grilled milk + grilled sausage is OK The glutinous rice cakes are delicious. My grandmother has been making black tea for a long time. The cold stew and roast chicken are not tasty B&B is expensive The boss didn't give me the reserved room, so I changed it to a residential building with little rabbits. There is a big balcony in the public area, which is great for taking photos. Yangji sour vinegar rice noodles are not tasty. 2️⃣ Torch Point Coffee Manor (P11-12) With professional explanations, you can instantly become a coffee expert from the tender green of coffee seedlings to the depths of the forest. Coffee cupping at 30+ to explore the secrets of aroma Very friendly to coffee lovers 3️⃣ Mimi’s (p13) Lemon potatoes are delicious, use their soul juice to eat other dishes Others: Average, sweet 4️⃣Dakaihe Plum Coffee Manor (P14-15) Don't go if there are too many people, it's a good place to visit, the coffee is not good, I drank the Litsea cubeba one, and my friend's was like instant coffee Not recommended 💣 1️⃣ Ersao BBQ: The dishes were not fully served in 3 hours and were not tasty Don't wait in line for a barbecue in summer, don't let people eat, make reservations The reservation method for each store is different, which is very bullying.

There are 7 or 8 coffee estates along the 30-kilometer route from Pu'er city to Nandao River along National Highway 213. We chose the Dakaihe Plum Coffee Estate on the roadside, a stylish coffee estate. There is a meditation house made of coffee grounds, which is very creative and great for taking photos. There is also a coffee farm where you can pick coffee berries and visit the entire coffee processing process. The key is that the special hand-brewed coffee and coffee desserts are so delicious. There are no seats on the observation deck on the first floor. I came to the second floor where I felt the view was better and it was quieter. The breeze was blowing and sipping coffee was so comfortable!
