4-Day Itinerary Introduction
Day 1 Shenzhen-Kunming
At6 p.m., we arrived at Shenzhen Airport on time, and as soon as we got out of the elevator, a group of brightly colored balloons came into view. It predicts that our South of Colorful Clouds will be a wonderful journey.
At 6:35, the Airbus A330 large plane took off on time. At 9:30, we landed safely at Yunnan Changshui Airport, walked out of the airport, and the hotel's free pick-up vehicle took us to the hotel in a while, checked in and rested, and recharged for the journey that started the next day.
Day 2 Kunming__Jianshui Shuanglong Bridge_ Yuanyang
At 7:00 a.m., we got up as usual, Kunming was not yet dawn, after breakfast, the hotel's pick-up and drop-off vehicle took us to the China-TravelNote Car Rental Service Center not far from here, completed the formalities, drove Xiaojiji to Jianshui, and began the journey to the south of Caiyun. 2 hours and 30 minutes about 200 km .
11:00 Arrive at Jianshui Seventeen-hole Bridge, commonly known as Shuanglong Bridge, located on the west side of Jianshui Ancient City, spanning the confluence of the Lujiang River and the Tachong River. This ancient bridge was built during the Qing Dynasty and is a monument in Yunnan, the ancient bridge has a total of 17 holes connected, and there are three floors of pavilions on the bridge, which is ancient and magnificent, looking like a big ship floating on the water from a distance.
Handsome little Gigi
Driving the handsome little Gigi, he is also very refreshing.
The two-hour drive passed through the beautiful Xingyun Lake, Qilu Lake and other places on the way, and in a blink of an eye, I arrived at Jianshui and came to Shuanglong Bridge according to the navigation. The Jianshui meter-gauge train sightseeing railway next to the bridge was built by France in the 30s of the last century, and the Jianshui East to Tuanshan line of the (old) Bi (Bi Se Zhai) Shi (Shiping) railway section was transformed. From Lin'an Station, through Shuanglongqiao Station, Xianghuiqiao Station, and finally to Tuanshan Station, along the way is the scenery of the fields of southern Yunnan, sitting in a wooden carriage, along the way "bang, bang, woo ......", there is a sense of age.
Next to the meter-gauge railway is the Shuanglong Bridge, also known as the Seventeen-Hole Bridge. The bluestone slabs of the bridge deck have been trampled into bare, which shows that it has suffered many years of vicissitudes.
There is a small market next to the bridge where local villagers sell tourist gifts, which is quite harmonious with the environment, and the villagers put things on the side to chat, unlike the vendors of other tourist attractions shouting, If you say hello, the stall owner will come over and tell you the price, and it doesn't matter whether the transaction is completed or not.
After talking with the boss for a while, he told us that when we came to Jianshui, we must eat the most famous grass sprouts in the local area, grass sprouts are a plant planted in the quagmire of the pond, similar to lotus root, when the grass sprouts just emerge from the surface of the quagmire, they must be picked back, otherwise they will grow old and not so sweet. According to the boss's recommendation, we ordered two grass sprout rice noodles, which were indeed very sweet, and we thought it was not enjoyable enough, so we directly asked the boss to bring up 20 yuan of grass sprouts, and we were addicted to it.
Grass sprouts should be eaten raw to bring out the umami.
14:30 After lunch, continue to Wonyang and wait for the sunset at [Bada Rice Terraces]. 2 hours 30 minutes about 120 kilometers
On the rugged county road from Yuanyang County to Yuanyang Terraces, a canyon stretches along the mountains on both sides, only to see the mountains on both sides, and the top of the mountain can see villages, and along the way, while sighing at the hard work and wisdom of the villagers, I have seen a sign standing in front of me, which reads "Swim in the Hani Terraces, Dream of Beautiful Nostalgia", We have unknowingly arrived at the scenic spot.
17;00 Arrive at Yuanyang Terraced Dam Scenic Area, Yuanyang Hani Terraces are located in the south of Ailao Mountain, which is a masterpiece left by the Hani people for generations, and the terraces are layered according to the terrain. It was spectacular. Yuanyang Hani Terraces are mainly composed of four parts: Bada Scenic Area, Tiger Mouth Scenic Area, Duoyishu Scenic Area, and Qingkou Scenic Area.When you come to the Yuanyang Hani Terraces, one is to watch the magnificent sunrise and sunset of the terraces, and the other is to see the unique style of the Hani villages.
The Bada Terraces scenic spot is one of the core protections declared as a world cultural heritage, the Bada Terraces are majestic, vast in area, with a strong sense of three-dimensionality, starting from the Mali Village River at an altitude of 800 meters, up the mountain, more than 3,700 terraces of cotton, and extending to the high mountains at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters. Bada Scenic Area is a place to enjoy the scenery of Hani terraces, sea of clouds, Hani buildings, etc., and is also the center of understanding, researching and experiencing Hani culture.
At an altitude of 1,900 meters, I braved the cold and finally survived until 7:30, the sun began to set, and under the guidance of a senior photographer next to me, I felt the color change of the water surface of the terraces, but unfortunately the colorful clouds in the sky have been hovering on the side of the mountains in the distance, and have not been blown to the sky above the terraces by the cold wind, making the colors of the terraces slightly inferior. Senior photographer said that this also depends on fate, the weather on our trip is already very good, he has been here for the fourth time, it has rained twice, the entire scenic spot is shrouded in fog, nothing can be seen, when he arrived at the inn, the first sentence after the boss's greeting was "Brother Xiaoyao, it has been raining here last week, a cloud and fog, nothing can be seen, fortunately, you have changed the travel date." Fortunately, the 2021 New Year's Eve concert in the Civic Center Square was postponed by a week, and the trip would not be in vain.
Day 3 Yuanyang_Duoyishu_Aichun_Azeke_Eagle's Beak
7:00 In the early morning, go to the best sunrise shooting location - [Duoyishu Scenic Area] to shoot the sunrise in the terraced fields.
The Duoyishu Scenic Area includes tens of thousands of acres of terraced fields such as Duoyishu, Aichun, and Dawazha, which are as continuous and spectacular as prints. Especially at sunrise, the brilliance of the morning sun jumps on the water surface of the terraced fields, changing into a variety of colors .
The Duoyishu Observation Deck waited until 8:30 before the sun completely climbed up the mountain, watching the water of the terraced fields reflect the blue of the sky, the sky and clouds lingered together, and the water and sky were the same color , quite good-looking. It wasn't until after 9 o'clock that we went back to the hotel for breakfast after all the tourists had evacuated.
The store's guide When I was at the Duoyishu Observation Deck, I saw a sea of clouds above the canyon, and I kept thinking about it After breakfast, I asked the boss the best place to see the sea of clouds, and immediately drove to Huangcaoling.
Watching the sea of clouds keep churning, I shouted that I was lucky, but fortunately I didn't come here last week, and the innkeeper also told us that it had been rainy last week.
After seeing the sea of clouds, I jumped around and walked back, and at around 12:00 o'clock, I parked the car on the side of the road and walked down, and then chatted with the local villagers and told us that we could drive the car into the gate of the village. Azheke is a Hani village in the Yuanyang Terraced Scenic Area, which maintains traditional Hani houses, also known as mushroom houses, and holds long street banquets during village festivals. You can see the soft terraced fields on the observation deck, which is also one of the filming locations of the movie "Don't Ask West and East".
The Azheke Terraces are between the Duoyishu and Aichun Terraces, and now cars can drive to the parking lot at the entrance of the village, but the road is very narrow, only enough for one car to pass. Yuanyang Terraces Scenic Area package is not included, to be purchased separately, when we arrived, it was already more than 12 noon, there was no one at the ticket window, maybe in the off-season, the staff had gone home for lunch, we followed the signs all the way in, looking at the terraces built on the mountain, coiled from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and the thatched roofs in the village like mushrooms, picturesque, like a fairyland.
The village forest at the entrance of the village is a sacred place where the Ha people worship the gods and ancestors every year, and no one is allowed to enter.
Some roofs have grown moss
Come up from the canyon observation deck and walk into the local houses and restaurants, where the villagers smoke bacon with fireworks.
drooling.
The old lady on the opposite roof is weaving a flower-tied webbing.
Locally sold native eggs, wrapped with straw stalks, 5 pieces per bundle, 10 yuan a pack.
The government has installed fire sprinkler water facilities for every villager.
I ordered three things in the house: local pork bacon, wild Huai mountain cake, and green vegetables.
The grass on the roof is very thick and strong, about 30 centimeters thick.
The villagers' means of transportation are all carried back with bamboo baskets to pack crops outside.
Zhai Shen water can be seen everywhere.
Pretend to be a businessman, carry a bamboo basket and go to the grocery store.
Dividend rules for villagers
The package of Yuanyang Scenic Area does not include Azheke Village.
1 After lunch at the villager's house, bid farewell to the beautiful Yuanyang terraces and continue to the next destination to Bise Village , Mengzi City . The distance is about 130 kilometers and takes 2 hours and 30 minutes .
Azheke came out, followed the navigation to take another path out of the scenic spot, and went all the way to the top of the mountain, looking at the steep hillside in the canyon under the mountain on both sides, the villagers were planted with plantains, cassava and other plants, deeply felt the hard work and diligence of the villagers, only by paying a hard work will there be a harvest, we have to work hard after we go back, and we can go further in the future.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, we arrived at the town of Bisezhai, we booked the Fanjian Hotel next to the station, which is a hotel with a history of more than 100 years renovated from an old house, very distinctive, sort out the luggage, as soon as the sky gradually darkened, the tourists living outside have gradually dispersed, and we came to the station without hunger to enjoy this peaceful beauty.
Since director Feng Xiaogang's reflection of the military film "Fanghua" in the 70s was filmed at Bisezhai Railway Station and filmed, Bisezhai has attracted a large number of tourists from all over the country and even overseas, especially people with various memories of that era, making it present a "Fanghua" effect.
In the dead of night, accompanied by Han Hong's affectionate "Velvet Flower", the boss got on a whim, danced and reveled, listening to the graceful music rotation, It seems to be looking for our years that are gradually fading away.
Familiar singing voices and familiar scenes bring those of us born in the sixties and seventies back to those past years and re-taste those youths.
"Flowers, praise the east wind all over the sea. Spring is always there, and hundreds of millions of years fight for the youth".
Day 4 _ Movie Fanghua Filming Location: Bise Village-Dongfengyun-Kunming
Taking advantage of the fact that the tourists had not yet started to enter the venue in the morning, we got up early in the morning and came to the station again before breakfast, savoring the century-old railway and facilities, and there are still freight trains passing through, but according to the hotel staff, the 2021 National Day will open a special tourist train again, and there will be more tourists at that time.
The world is as perfect as we are in each other's eyes.
There is a beautiful flower in the world, which is youth.
As the coexistence of China's inch gauge and meter gauge, Bisezhai Station fully reflects a period of history of China's railway development, and its preservation of cultural relics has strong historical, cultural and scientific value. As an important railway station built by French imperialism to seize China's right to build roads, it also has important educational value.
The hotel breakfast is authentic Mengzi cross-bridge rice noodles, and the soup is delicious.
Bi Se Zhai is located in the center of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, this quiet mountain village built halfway up the mountain, was once a prosperous place where merchants gathered, Bi Se Zhai under the morning sun, The red tiles and yellow walls are glowing with a melting warm color, making people feel as if they have traveled to another time and space.
Seeing the tourists on the periphery start to enter, we returned to the hotel for breakfast.
10:30 Go: Dongfengyun Scenic Area Classic 4.7/5 1 hour 30 minutes About 140 kilometers
Dongfengyun Scenic Area is located in Maitreya City, Honghe, and is an art town integrating leisure vacation, Buddhist culture, folk experience and ecological tourism. The buildings in the scenic area are mainly locally produced red bricks, mixing three local cultures, which is very designed, among which the wine bottle-shaped building represents Maitreya's red wine culture, as well as the fire culture and symbiotic culture of the Yi people.
No one entered, and from a distance, a fairytale-like building appeared before our eyes, as if we had arrived in the Kingdom of Denmark.
The park's slate-paved train tracks, on which the words "I love you" written in 5 languages have attracted countless couples to take pictures, but the idea of the train track is indeed romantic enough.
The inside of the building is not open, and after a round of admiration, I decided to go to the ancient village of Chengzi found on the road.
14:30 Go to Chengzigu Village 50 km about 1 hour by car
Chengzi Ancient Village, located in the two states (Honghe, Wenshan) and three counties (Luxi, Maitreya, Qiubei) is a place where chickens and dogs are heard, with the most distinctive Yi and Han combination of Yunnan unique ancient village landscape, the overall layout of the village is on the mountain, along the mountain, layer by layer, the overall space is high in the west and low in the east, backed by the mountains and facing the water, hundreds of households in the whole village are built on the mountain, naturally connected, layer by layer of earthen palm houses to form a first-level step. The earthen palm roofs are connected together to form a platform tens or even hundreds of meters high. More than 1,000 earthen houses in the village are connected layer by layer or adjacent to the left and right, uniting hundreds of households in the village, the houses are connected up and down, left and right, stacked layer by layer, the roof of the lower house is the courtyard of the upper family, every family has a roof, and every family has a courtyard. As long as you enter one, you can enter another from the platform until you get through.
The ancient village is under maintenance, and we came to the village committee to park under the guidance of the signboard, in fact, we can go directly to the foot of the ancient village according to the navigation, so we had to park and walk a small road.
Hundreds of households live on the mountain, and the layered earthen palm houses can be called living fossils of Yunnan's residential architecture.
It was almost 6 o'clock in the blink of an eye, so we had to take a flight back to the city and take a flight at 10 p.m. to end the final trip of 2020.
