Who gets it, fam! Stayed in Pu'er for 5 days and just didn’t want to leave—here the sunshine is warm, the tea fragrance is mellow, and even the air carries a sweet scent of grass and wood🌿 Here’s a guide with "pitfall warnings + hidden surprises"—following it will definitely be more exciting than just hitting the popular spots! 🚗 Transportation | Don’t get tricked by navigation anymore! ▪️ Coming to Pu'er from out of town: Fly first choice! Simao Airport is super close to downtown, a 15-minute taxi ride to the city center (don’t take the airport shuttle bus, it’s a detour and 5 yuan more expensive); from Kunming, take the high-speed train 2.5h direct, then take bus No. 2 for 30 minutes to the Old Town after getting off ▪️ To Jingmai Mountain: Absolutely no self-driving! The winding mountain roads will make you nauseous 🤮 There’s a direct bus from Pu'er Bus Station to Jingmai Mountain every day at 7:30 (55 yuan/person), pick a seat on the left! You’ll see tea mountains and sea of clouds all the way ▪️ Getting around downtown: Rent a small electric scooter yyds! At the Old Town gate, "Uncle’s Rental" charges 30 yuan/day, the battery lasts to cover the whole city, half the cost of taxis (remember to wear a helmet, traffic police are strict) 🏡 Accommodation | Stay right = win from the start! ❌ Avoid: Homestays in the Tea Horse Ancient Town (bars are noisy till dawn and expensive) ✅ Highly recommend 3 amazing places: 1. Banshan Hotel (downtown): The rooftop terrace is amazing! Watch the sunrise at 7am shining on the tea mountains, the boss’s mom makes peanut soup with rice noodles, paired with local millet chili that’s so good you’ll stomp your feet (book early for free airport pickup) 2. Little Panda Manor (Taiyang River Park): Forest wooden cabins with viewing balconies, in the morning little pandas will peek through the window for food! Soak in a private hot spring on the balcony at night, stars overhead✨ 3. Wengji Ancient Village · Bailian Boutique Hotel: Villas hidden in thousand-year-old tea forests, open the window to see the old Bulang tea trees, the housekeeper will take you to pick morning dew tea, the experience is top-notch (expensive but worth it, 20% off in low season) 📸 Must-visit list | Missing these spots means missing out! 🌿【Immersive Tea Fragrance Experience】 ▪️ Tea Horse Ancient Road Ruins Park: Don’t just walk the main path! Climb the stone steps behind "Mabang Courtyard" for 10 minutes, there’s an abandoned tea warehouse where sunlight streams through wooden windows—perfect for ancient-style photos (wear plain-colored clothes!) ▪️ Jingmai Mountain · Wengji Ancient Village: Go to the ancient tea garden at 6am! Pick tea with the old ladies, fingertips dipped in dew and tea fragrance, and learn hand-frying tea (you can take 100g of the fried tea for free, very meaningful souvenir) ▪️ Hidden gem: Visit "Kunlu Mountain Royal Ancient Tea Garden"! The tea trees here are covered in moss, the 1000-year-old ancient tea trees require looking up, sip freshly brewed raw Pu'er tea, the aftertaste is sweet all the way down your throat 🐾【Healing Nature Journey】 ▪️ Taiyang River Forest Park: Arrive before 9am! The little pandas just woke up and are very friendly, buy 10 yuan apple pieces, they’ll hold your hand to nibble (don’t wear red clothes, rhinos get excited) ▪️ Xima River Park: Go at dusk! Rent a bamboo raft to float on the river, watch the sunset dye the water golden red, old folks on the shore play the sanxian and sing mountain songs, life couldn’t be more peaceful🌇 ▪️ Nakeli Village: A living fossil on the Tea Horse Ancient Road! The "Rongfa Horse Shop" at the village entrance still keeps the horse lamps used by caravans, the owner tells caravan stories for free! 🍜 Foodie Guide | You’ll cry if you miss these foods! ▪️ Must-try eateries: - "Li Ji Bean Soup Rice Noodles" (Old Street): A 30-year-old shop, the bean soup is as creamy as milk, add mixed sauce + fried dough sticks, soaking them in soup is amazing (go before 7am or you’ll queue) - "Dai-style BBQ" (Mandou Village): Beef brisket must be grilled until sizzling with oil, dip in nam mi sauce (local chili + tomato), eat with pao lu da, refreshing and cuts the grease - "Tea Ancestor’s Feast" (Nuogan Ancient Village): Must order tea-flavored ribs! Ribs are marinated then steamed, with an orchid fragrance, plus fried cicada pupae eggs, high protein and super tasty (don’t be scared, tastes like nuts) ▪️ Hidden eats: - Grandma’s roadside "Suan Duoyi": 5 yuan per small bag, sour with a hint of sweetness, sprinkle chili powder, mouth-watering and appetite-opening - Coffee plantation’s "Coffee Grounds Grilled Sausage": Sausages marinated with freshly ground coffee grounds, grilled with a smoky aroma, perfect with iced Americano 💡 Hard lessons | I took these hits for you! 1. Don’t buy "Ancient Tree Tea" in scenic spots! 90% are fake teas from other places 😤 If you really want to buy, find Uncle "Yanwenjiao" in Wengji Ancient Village, his family has 200-year-old tea trees, you can bargain by weight 2. Don’t wear shorts in Taiyang River Park! There are little bugs in the grass, my bestie got 10 bites on her legs (wear long pants! Spray mosquito repellent) 3. Don’t order "Grilled Enoki Mushrooms wrapped in rice" at BBQ! Local millet chili is fire-spicy 🌶️ Ask the boss for mild spice first 4. Don’t go to the viewing platform for Jingmai Mountain sunrise! Too crowded, follow villagers to the small hill beside the "Tea King Tree," the view is wider and no one’s there On the day I left, sitting in the tea forest of Wengji Ancient Village, watching a Bulang grandma slowly picking tea, the scent of bamboo tube rice drifting from afar… suddenly I understood why they say "Pu'er is a place where you can live your days like poetry"🍃 Quickly your buddy who wants to escape the rat race, this holiday come to Pu'er to "waste time"～

Summer in Yunnan is not just about the winds of Dali or the clouds of Lijiang; it also hides a "treasure town" named by National Geographic—Pu'er. With an annual average temperature of 20℃ and a peak summer temperature of only 26℃, the city is filled with the aroma of coffee mixed with the humidity of the rainforest. Three days and two nights are enough for you to unlock the slow pace of the "Hometown of Coffee in China" and even venture into the home of wild Asian elephants. 🌟 Why must you visit Pu'er? - The ultimate summer cool spot: Only Pu'er locals understand the joy of wearing long sleeves in summer - Coffee lovers' paradise: From plantations to labs, taste the top coffee beans in China - Off the beaten path: Quieter than Dali, more pristine than Xishuangbanna, locals live a slow life of "tea drinking and bird watching" - Many hidden activities: Rainforest hiking, firefly watching, strolling through century-old caravan streets, surprises around every corner 📅 Classic 3-day 2-night itinerary (with hidden activities) 🌞 Day 1: Healing moments at a coffee plantation - Transportation: Take the Fuxing high-speed train from Kunming Station (2.5 hours direct to Pu'er, recommended to choose a departure before 9:00 AM for more time to explore) - 14:00 Xiao Aozi Coffee Plantation A "coffee secret spot" hidden on a hillside, the owner is an 80-year-old coffee master who will personally guide you through the plantation and explain the differences between "honey processing" and "sun drying." Sitting at an outdoor wooden table, the barista will serve three hand-brewed coffees with different processes: - Honey processed: Like biting into tropical fruit, sweet with acidity - Sun-dried: Rich like caramel, with a nutty finish - Wine-flavored beans: Fermented with a light wine aroma, perfect for those who enjoy a slight buzz ✨ Hidden perk: Fireflies appear at night from June to August! Tiny lights among the coffee bushes look like the Milky Way brought into the plantation (book one day in advance, wear long pants to prevent mosquito bites) - 19:00 Dinner at Simao District Night Market Staying in Simao District is most convenient! Recommended dishes include "Alan Breakfast" bean soup rice sheets (softer and stickier than rice noodles, with a milky bean soup) or "Zhang’s BBQ" grilled pork belly (local chili powder is so fragrant it makes you stomp your feet). 🌞 Day 2: Wandering through old streets and coffee aromas - 10:00 Torch Coffee Lab Known as the "Huangpu Military Academy" of China’s coffee scene, the walls are covered with international competition medals. Must-try is the "Yunnan Small Bean Hand Brew." Staff will use "cupping" methods to let you taste three roasting levels, making it easy for beginners to understand flavor differences. Take home a bag of "anaerobic fermented beans"—brewing them at home fills your space with tropical fruit aromas. - 12:30 Explore Simao Old Street and eat The bluestone roads hide caravan history, and old wooden window frames are covered with bougainvillea. - Must-eat: "Li’s Sour Chicken Feet" in the alley, chicken feet soaked in spicy and sour sauce with a chewy texture, paired perfectly with iced papaya juice - Photo spot: The exterior wall of the "Coffee Museum" in Daijia Alley, vintage red bricks with greenery, perfect for artistic photos - 16:00 Local life at Xima River Park A "back garden" where locals stroll and play chess; walking around the lake you can see elderly ladies practicing Tai Chi under old tea trees. Don’t miss the market at the park entrance: wild mushrooms for 5 yuan a bunch, freshly made glutinous rice cakes, bamboo woven baskets. When bargaining, say "fellow villager, a little cheaper," and the vendor might throw in some wild fruit. 🌞 Day 3: Rainforest or flowers, two ways to end your trip - Option A: Rainforest adventure (for nature lovers) In the morning, visit Sun River Forest Park. A one-hour hike can bring you face to face with red pandas and gibbons, and if lucky, you might spot wild Asian elephant droppings (the park has professional guides, safety first). Before returning to Kunming in the afternoon, bring home a pack of "Pu'er Small Tuocha" tea—the aroma of tea and coffee together to take back. - Option B: Flowers and Dianchi Lake (for romantics) Take the 11:00 high-speed train back to Kunming, then head straight to the Dounan Flower Market: 3 bunches of roses for 10 yuan, 1 bouquet of hydrangeas for 20 yuan. Spend over 50 yuan and get free shipping home (the florist will help you wrap in a freshness bag so flowers stay fresh). In the evening, go to Haigeng Dam at Dianchi Lake to enjoy the breeze and watch the sunset dye the lake golden red. 📌 Practical Tips (avoid pitfalls + save money) - Transportation: - Buy Kunming↔Pu'er high-speed train tickets 2 days in advance; weekends sell out quickly - Taxi starting fare in Pu'er city is 6 yuan; shared electric bikes are more convenient for Xima River and Old Street (3 yuan/30 minutes) - Accommodation: Choose a place near "Tea Horse Ancient Town" in Simao District. Recommended is "Yunshang Coffee House," where the homestay owner brews hand-pour coffee, and you can wake up to the aroma of coffee in the morning. - Must-try list: - Vinegar rice noodles: The sour soup is made from tomato and lemon; add "minced meat + braised pork" for a double combo - Wrapped grilled enoki mushrooms: Dai-style cooking, wrapped in banana leaves and grilled, garlic aroma mixed with mushroom fragrance - Paoluda: Burmese dessert, bread soaked in coconut milk, a perfect remedy for spiciness - Souvenirs: Torch Coffee’s "drip bags" (great for beginners), Xiao Aozi’s "coffee flower honey" (honey made from coffee flowers, sweet but not cloying) The romance of Pu'er is the sunshine in your coffee cup, the moss between the old street’s stone slabs, and the relaxed "take it slow" attitude of the locals. Here, there’s no need to rush your itinerary—find a coffee shop, sit for an afternoon, and watch the sunlight dance through the leaves into your cup—that’s what summer should feel like.

I've been to Puer many times and visited numerous coffee plantations, but this time I specially stayed and played at Xiaoxiongmao Manor—the experience was fantastic! 1️⃣ Chartered a car from downtown Puer, and it took about an hour to reach Xiaoxiongmao Manor. After check-in at the scenic area lobby, the hotel shuttle took us directly to our cozy wooden cabin. The staff were plentiful and warm-hearted, greeting us whenever we crossed paths. Shuttles were readily available on demand. Private cars aren’t allowed inside the hotel grounds, ensuring safety, comfort, and privacy. 2️⃣ The rooms are standalone wooden cabins, thoughtfully equipped with children’s toiletries—perfect for families. 3️⃣ The hotel offers many activities, especially for kids. Just follow the activity schedule provided at check-in and make reservations accordingly. 4️⃣ Staying guests enjoy unlimited free entry to the Xiaoxiongmao scenic area (also known as Sun River Forest Park). Shuttles run every half hour, taking you directly from your cabin to the park entrance. 5️⃣ You can feed and interact with all the adorable animals—little pandas, white rhinos, deer, raccoons, egrets, and more. They’re all plump, well-behaved, and roam freely, offering a far cry from the caged zoo experience in the city. 6️⃣ The hotel restaurant is a highlight—stunning and relaxing. Built on a wetland, birds often join you at mealtime. During breakfast, little pandas might even be munching on tree stumps in the wetland. (Though the food isn’t great, the scenery is so breathtaking that I ate every meal there!) 7️⃣ Located in a forest park reserve, the hotel has significant day-night temperature swings and high humidity. The wooden cabins mean you’ll hear insects and birds at night—a bit noisy but part of the charm. Fun, comfortable, serene, and picturesque—I’ll definitely bring my kids here next time!

Have Fun🍃🌸🌳☁️🏞️🦋🐵🐾 Pages 2–7: 📍Sun River Forest Park Trust me! You have to go here!! The butterflies in Butterfly Valley fly to the entrance to welcome guests, attracting many to stop and watch. The keepers let the baby muntjacs that had just been born out to play, and we even saw them being fed. We spent half an hour just wandering around the entrance. We didn't see the celebrity gibbon, Ding Ding, but we were lucky enough to see a red panda. I became a total fan! Every move it made was so cute! I even spent CNY 20 to feed it apples, haha. I really like this place. The animals aren't kept in enclosures and are free to come and go. Many of the animals weren't there because they were playing in the mountains. It's best to go in the morning, when the animals are more active. You can also see them being fed. Tour duration: 3.5 hrs. This place is perfect for walking, taking your baby, or dating! If you take the electric car, you don't have to walk much, and there are fewer stairs. Transportation🚘: I chose to rent a car that day. Renting a car for a day isn't that expensive, and you can choose your own route and time. After leaving Sun River, I went to the coffee plantation. It's very convenient to drive. Pages 8–10: 📍Dakai River Plum Coffee Plantation It's so pleasant to drink coffee and chat while enjoying the beautiful scenery🏞️. But I don't really like the coffee here. It's too sour, so I'll reserve my opinion on the taste. The most photogenic spot is the meditation room. Be sure to take pictures there! P.S. Parking is free. Page 11: 📍Ancient Tea Horse Road Ancient City I don't really recommend it. The ancient city is very, very, very commercialized. I was thinking that Keep Running had come here, so I took a detour to visit it on the way back to the hotel. If you're interested, you can go and see it. You have to walk for quite a while. The real Ancient Tea Horse Road is outside the ancient city. You can ride horses or take a walk. 📍Daijia Alley I forgot to take pictures. I heard it was very popular, so I thought I'd go and see it. The buildings are quite old and are all coffee shops☕️. Many hand-drip coffee shops offer unlimited refills. You can meet up with friends for coffee and enjoy the sun and chat all afternoon. But! This alley is very short, maybe only about 200m, so don't expect to spend a long time shopping. If you're just strolling around and taking pictures, 30 mins is enough.
