My dream life is to have a hut in the mountains, wake up to the sun every day, watch the light and shadow dance on the white gauze curtain, pillow next to the person I love, get up and push the window, the warm wind in the forest is in front of me, the ears are the chirping of insects and chirping birds, the person I love is beside me, a hug is worth everything in the world!

I never thought that this trip to Pu'er would make all the romance meet unexpectedly, and the Xikang Cloud House hidden deep in the mountains is like a mountain residence tailored for me, and all the ideas about dream life are realized here. Xikang Yunshe Health Resort Hotel is located in Pu'er Jinggu, Jinggu is the "Valley of a Thousand Scenery", where the trees are dense and the bamboo forest is secluded, and the first time I saw the hotel, I was hit by the gradually flowing colors, and I lived in this ultimate space that condensed Dai rhyme for three days, and my accumulated fatigue was swept away.

Enjoy a bowl of steaming chicken soup rice noodles in the morning and feel the charm of Yunnan as the hometown of rice noodles. The local chicken here is delicious, and it is really a pity not to drink chicken soup and not eat rice noodles!

After dinner, go to the hot spring trail behind the hotel, the bougainvillea is in full bloom, and the rose-red flower clusters make people feel good, in addition to the open-air hot spring pool, there are also private baths to soak in. Whether you prefer quiet or hustle and bustle, you can find a home here~

Follow the Dai elders to copy the scriptures at noon to purify your body and mind. Although I can't understand those winding symbols, I can also calm down and draw a gourd with a gourd. Looking at those ancient scrolls, I can't help but sigh in my heart that youth is fleeting and time flies!

Go to a small bar at night to have a cocktail, chat with your friends in the hot springs, and soak in the steaming hot springs. The stars in the sky winked at me, and at that moment my heart was jubilant, I felt that the world was beautiful, the future was promising, and everything was happy!

Now that I have returned to Chongqing, I count the beauty of the past, and the bits and pieces of laughter are still floating in front of my eyes.Memories will change after all, reliable or left in the pen, a 3-day trip to Pu'er Jinggu, let me tell you slowly~ In fact, there are many twists and turns in the middle of this flight to Pu'er, the flight was unstable during the epidemic, my direct flight was canceled, and finally I could only change my route to Xishuangbanna, charter a car from Banna to Pu'er, and then contact the hotel to pick up for a fee, and you can also take a shuttle bus to Jinggu~

About temperature and dress:

Banna and Pu'er are both tropical, summer clothes are fine, and a light jacket is needed at night when it is cool. Sunglasses and sunscreen need to be prepared, so please bring something that can be repaired after sun with you. In addition, the forest vegetation coverage here is high, and mosquito repellent spray also needs to be prepared!

I stayed in a hotel in Pu'er Simao District, went to the small restaurant recommended by the hotel front desk to have a light meal and went back to my room to rest, and the real vacation trip started the next day. The hotel sent a car to pick us up early in the morning, and on the way to Jinggu, it was full of greenery. The closer you get to the hotel, the denser the forest becomes, and the air is fresh and sweet, which is the opposite of the smog in big cities.

The Dai family style of Xikang Yunshe Health Resort Hotel is unobstructed. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the buildings with red walls and golden roofs have a slightly exotic style. With the dazzling sunshine and the wind blowing in the valley, and the endless bird chirping in my ears, I was like a trapped beast out of the cage, and my heart was filled with joy and joy.

The enthusiastic Dai girl prepared a welcome ceremony for us, dancing bamboo pole dances, splashing auspicious water, drinking ancient brown sugar water, honey water, rose wine, although the details are small, but well-intentioned, From these bits and pieces, we feel the warmth and beauty of the Dai compatriots.

Xikang Yunshe is a health and leisure resort hotel with Dai style that was just completed in January 2020, and compared with the commercialization of other hotels, its red walls and golden roof have accumulated Dai culture for a long time. The place where we live is a small single-family villa in the shadow of mountains and green forests, and the ideal life is probably like this, the sun is setting and the sun is rising, and you can see the picturesque beauty when you open the window.

Walking through the hotel, this bright color, with the dazzling sunlight outside the house, feels like breaking free from the shackles of winter cold, and the toes become lighter. I especially like the Dai-style buildings, full of aristocratic court flavor, living in them and being taken care of, as if they have become a princess of ethnic minorities.

The hotel's all-day dining restaurant is very exquisitely decorated, my favorite is the area outside the restaurant, dinner time is the most beautiful, watching the sunset slowly set, blowing the refreshing wind in the forest, Follow three or five friends to gossip, and you can eat for two or three hours in a meal~

Living in Xikang Cloud House

our young couple lives in 3 buildings, You can only get to the room by a small stone staircase from the side of the road, which is very private. The accommodation area is slightly far away from the main body of the hotel, and a special car will be arranged to pick up and drop off ~

I like the design of the room, which is spacious and atmospheric, and the supporting furniture is basically made of solid wood. I am a person who recognizes beds a little, and for the 3 nights I lived here, I actually slept dreamlessly every night until dawn, which is related to the comfort of the mattress and pillow.

The bathroom is designed with both a large bathtub and a shower room. Toiletries and care products are all available, although it is not a brand I am familiar with, but the taste is pleasant, and the feeling is not bad after use!

There is also a hot spring pool outside the room where my friend lives, where the petals of bougainvillea float, people bathe in the pool, look at the distant mountains and near scenery, drink Pu-erh tea and eat the snacks given in the room , is also very comfortable.

The biggest feature of this hotel is its health management system, where every guest can come here for a physical test. In the Yunshe Health Management Center, the tests done are a combination of blood testing, bone density testing and functional medicine testing, and the instruments and equipment of the health management center alone are priceless, exceeding one million.

There

are intelligent dynamic fitness assessment testers, plantar pressure posture evaluators, body composition analyzers, mental stress analyzers, Leading new physical examination instruments such as infrared posture recognition instruments can comprehensively assess the human body.After the evaluation is completed, a professional doctor proposes a health treatment plan based on the test results, and provides course-based guidance from various aspects such as exercise, diet, and rest to achieve all-round care for the body and mind.

Play in Xikang Yunshe

(1) Visit the ancient Dai village and experience the bamboo weaving craft

Following the steps of the Dai lady, we went to an ancient Dai village, the name of which is not clear. But the people here are so enthusiastic, the old man under the ancient tree is doing the ancient bamboo weaving craft, flower strips weaving baskets, although these bamboo weaving products are not exquisite, but they are also the ingenuity of the craftsmen.

The old grandmothers in the village looked very energetic, their eyes were shining, and they were smiling when they looked at us, sharing the goat's milk fruit they picked on the mountain for us to eat, and sharing the baba they made at home with us. It was also lucky, those days happened to be the New Year of the Dai people, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to eat such a similar baba~

When taking photos with them, there was an old lady who was very shy, and she held her face in her hands and covered her eyes, looking shy and cute! Probably because she is far away from the troubles of the world, she can retain this unchanging girlish heart~

(2) Climb the tea mountain to visit tea farmers and pick tea and dry tea with your own hands

Pu'er is rich in tea, and Pu'er tea is the most famous. Coming here to visit the tea mountains is also an indispensable experience, the tropical weather is also unpredictable, one second the sun is like fire, the next second is pouring heavy rain. There was no rain trace from the top of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain, so we walked into the tea farmer's house and learned the skills of picking, frying tea, and drying tea~

We only know the taste of tea, but we don't know how many steps it takes to go from the new tea on the tea tree to the final product, and how much time it takes to precipitate this throat delicacy.Everything in the world has its own way, and what we can do is to be kind to every achievement~

Finally, I would like to say that there are many wild fruits on the mountains of Pu'er, papaya, mango, mulberry, and mulberry bubbles , This season is ripe, the locals' favorite mango dipping pepper, papaya dipping pepper way to eat, you should also try it if you have the chance~

(3) Visit the Mengwo General Buddhist Temple and watch the pagoda wrap tree wrapping the pagoda

Buddhist Trail is a must-visit place for ethnic religious and cultural tours. As a Buddhist business card of Jinggu, it collides the culture of frontier ethnic minorities and the southern Theravada Buddhism in Wuliang Mountain, creating a unique cultural label of Jinggu "Infinite Treasure Land and Buddha Trace Fairy".

Mengwo General Buddhist Temple is in Jinggu County, and the wonder of the pagoda is here~ The tree of "Pagoda Wrap Tree, Tree Wrap Pagoda" is tens of meters high, the tower is topped with a tree, the tree wraps around the tower, the branches and leaves on the top are lush, and the pagoda under the foot shines. And this state of towers and trees entangled and inseparable is also regarded by the locals as a symbol of loyal and unswerving love.

(4) Playing outdoors in the back mountains, off-road ATV, and playing real CS

If you are a person who seeks excitement and likes to play wild, then this place also gives you the opportunity to "go wild". Jungle off-road, paragliding, live CS, 300 acres of wild luxury space, chasing wantonly in the mountains and forests. Those times on the locomotive, those hot sweats that fell on the cheeks, are indispensable and ultimate experiences in memory.

Dusty here, show off your skills, play until the sunset before reluctantly disbanding, and the sweat you shed will hide all the fortitude in your body, The bravery was all inspired, and I never knew that I was so heroic and uninhibited.

Before playing the project, the coach will do some basic guidance, and there will be professionals to follow the whole process.

(5) Experience the hot spring Songkran Festival and make glutinous rice cakes by yourself

The Songkran Festival is a major festival of the Dai people, and because of the epidemic, it is not suitable to gather people, so this year's Songkran ceremony was canceled, but this did not prevent us from having a water-splashing carnival in the hotel! The hot spring water is not cool, but everyone plays more happily, and the interaction here really stimulates our playful childlike fun~

Because the few days we came happened to be the New Year of the Dai people, we also learned the method of glutinous rice cake from the young lady of the Dai people, which is actually really simple, and the sense of accomplishment is very strong after doing it. It's really good to learn a craft when traveling and vacationing~

eat at Xikang Yunshe

(1) whole cow banquet

The food here is very distinctive, and you can't eat it in ordinary places. The first meal after check-in is a local beef head banquet, which, as the name suggests, is a dish made with meat from different parts of the cow. The sunlight shines through Simao Zhu, and the light and shadow are intertwined, just looking at it is very satisfying. The beef is thick and fragrant, the chicken soup is rich and fresh, the original flavor of the food blooms perfectly in the chef's exquisite cooking skills, and we feast on the original style of the mountains and forests.

favorites are wormwood-smoked dry rice, fairy trail beef dipped in red oil and water, and Dai beef skinned with rice noodles. The beef here tasted excellent and exceeded my expectations, and the group achieved the perfect disc action!

(2) Peacock Banquet

Peacock banquet with fairy appearance is an essential food experience link for traveling to Banna and Pu'er~ The peacock banquet is actually a banquet for the Dai royal family in Xishuangbanna to receive VIPs. It is also one of the most distinctive banquets of the Dai family.

Peacock Banquet brings together the most distinctive dishes of the Dai family, using original fresh ingredients, roasting, frying, frying, stir-frying, boiling, cooling, pounding and other traditional Dai cooking methods, and various dishes are placed in the shape of peacocks opening the screen.

The peacock banquet has a reasonable combination of meat and vegetables, and fruits are embellished with it. The pilaf here is made of bamboo as a table, plantains as a plate, and a peacock dressed in golden and emerald feathers jumps on the table. Soft rice balls with pineapple meat and purple rice, chicken, grilled fish, grilled meat, shiitake mushroom cabbage, and cucumber fruits. From the selection of raw materials, cooking and production, to the styling and plating, and the matching of tableware, every detail is exquisite and ingenious.

The three days left in Pu'er Jinggu have too much beauty to cherish! Xikang Cloud House brought me a home-like experience, and it also made me feel something! To this day, those days are still bright in my memory, and the romance of walking hand in hand on the trail with my husband and listening to the sound of insects with the starlight will definitely be repeated again!
