Heshun Ancient Town

Explore Heshun Ancient Town, a soulful ancient town hidden in the southwest border. Tengchong boasts not only distant mountains but also the melodious charm of a water town and the romance of an ancient town. Every evening, the setting sun shines on the ancient houses, and the blue sky, white clouds, and surrounding green trees, complemented by the rivers and lakes, captivate you, making you reluctant to leave. - Heshun Ancient Town: The Soul of an Overseas Chinese Hometown, Embracing History and Scenery Enter Heshun Ancient Town and you'll be captivated by its pervasive natural beauty and cultural charm. Heshun has long been a major town in southwest China and a renowned hometown of overseas Chinese. From its ancient buildings, bluestone alleyways, to the wafting fragrance of flowers, the town is filled with a tranquil and vibrant atmosphere. Surrounded by lush mountains and flowing through clear rivers, sunny days are perfect for a light stroll through the streets—wear a striking outfit and snap photos amidst the ancient buildings and natural beauty—you're sure to get plenty of photos! I especially recommend visiting the town at dusk to experience the afterglow of the sunset. The soft golden light makes everything seem exceptionally peaceful and beautiful. Surrounded by the mere sounds of birdsong and flowing water, time seems to slow down.
