Who understands? Coming to Baoshan is all about pure eating|Fun and delicious

This post shares about Baoshan, a low-key yet treasure-filled small city. The secret realm of western Yunnan is truly worth exploring slowly!😍 🚶‍♀️3-day travel itinerary recommendation: Day 1: 📍Airport attraction: Wofo Temple, a must-visit right after getting off the plane, very close to the airport, free admission is a big plus 📍Dongshan Slope: The best spot to overlook the whole city from a height, absolutely stunning at sunset 📍Qinghuahai Wetland Park: Locals’ favorite for walks, the lake view is super healing Day 2: 📍Tengchong Rehai: A must for soaking in natural hot springs (remember to bring swimwear), highly recommend the clay pot dishes at the scenic area restaurant 📍Heshun Ancient Town: A slow life ten times quieter than Dali, the corner coffee shops are perfect for daydreaming 📍Western Yunnan Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall: Free but requires reservation, an immersive way to learn about that history Day 3: 📍Gaoligong Mountain Hiking: Beginners are advised to take the 3km small loop trail (navigate to Baihualing entrance) 📍Xinzai Coffee Estate: The best coffee in China is here! Hand drip coffee at 38 RMB is an unbeatable value 📍Lujiangba: The riverside view at dusk looks like an oil painting, roadside bananas are 2 RMB for a big bunch 🍜Foodie Guide: ✅Rice bean jelly with fried dough sticks: The old brand "Lin Dama" has long queues from 7 AM ✅Huopiao Beef: Recommend "Meng Ji" for the sour and spicy hotpot base, absolutely amazing ✅Mango dipped in chili: Buy casually at the market, a local eating style that’s super addictive 💡Practical Tips: 1. Big temperature difference between morning and evening, onion-style layering is safest 2. Didi is cheaper than taxis, but for suburbs, car rental is recommended (300 RMB/day) 3. Markets are cheaper than the old town, buy small coffee beans and Burmese brown sugar as souvenirs Only after coming to Baoshan do you realize, the so-called peaceful times are just the time it takes to enjoy a bowl of rice bean jelly~
