[2025 Pu'er Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for Jingmai Mountain World Cultural Heritage Site (Updated Mar)

We loved heading to Jingmaishan and wandering around the various villages, learning about the ethnic minorities like the Dai and Blang! Try to spend a few more days to really soak in the beauty of the place. Also recommended to have a vehicle, because we came by bus, but realized it wasn’t so easy to go from village to village. And bring lots of thirst with you because you will be drinking lots of tea.
