I revisited Tengchong and came to Wild Duck Lake where I lived before. Of course, I couldn't miss Aunt Lin's Songhua Cake~ The big sign [Recommended by CCTV and local TV stations] has various Tengchong special snacks, such as Songhua Cake, roasted bait, rouge fruit roll powder, pine pollen, etc. I ordered 2 pieces of Songhua Cake, which were already packed in small bags, which is convenient to eat. The bitter taste of Songhua Cake is strong, but it's okay. I'll try it when I pass by~

Tengchong in August is like a "natural air-conditioned room" created by God! While the rest of the country struggles with temperatures exceeding 35°C, here it's a mere 19°C! The forest breeze of Gaoligong Mountain, the mist rising from the wetlands, the splashing water of the waterfalls—even breathing feels like drinking iced lemonade~🍃 As a newly returned travel blogger, I simply have to recommend this hidden gem! 🌸[Three-Day Itinerary: Every Day is a Heavenly Day] 🏔️ Day 1: Volcanic Hot Spring Healing Center • Morning: Head straight to the Volcano Geological Park (tickets, approximately 55 yuan, bookable on Ctrip), see the crater, and ride a hot air balloon (extra charge). It's like stepping onto the set of "Interstellar"! • Lunch: Head to the Hot Springs Scenic Area for a hot spring soak (tickets, approximately 50 yuan). Try the "big boiling pot" hard-boiled eggs! 🥚 They're incredibly tender! • Evening: Head to Heshun Ancient Town for some bait! We recommend the earthenware pot at "Cun Da Guan Si Fang Cai." The broth is delicious and the meat is tender, so you'll want to finish three bowls straight! 🌿 Day 2: Breathe Deeply in the Wetlands and Forests • Morning: Visit the Beihai Wetlands (admission 55 yuan) to paddle a raft, watch egrets, and sip coffee at the lakeside pavilion. The steam and grass aroma will wash over your face, making it even more nourishing than a face mask! • Lunch: Enjoy "Thin Bean Noodles" by the wetland. The sticky aroma of peas and chili oil is so delicious you'll want to lick the bowl! • Afternoon: Explore the primeval forests of Gaoligong Mountain (free!), hike to pick mushrooms, and enjoy frozen watermelon in the stream. The shaded trees meander through the sun, so you don't even need sunscreen! 🍂 Day 3: Slow Life in the Ancient Town • Morning: Wander around Heshun Ancient Town (admission 55 yuan). The library, laundry booths, and Yuanlong Pavilion are stunning photo ops. The bluestone pavement and cafes are incredibly chill! • Lunch: Must-try "Lin Dama Songhua Cake"! The fragrant pine flower and sweet red bean paste combine to create a delicious, almost forest-like experience. • Evening: Enjoy a barbecue at Yanjiatang Food City! The grilled pig's ear is crispy, tender, and sizzling with fat. Pair it with a Pao Lu Da coconut iced drink—you'll be stomping your feet! 📸 [Must-See List: Missing the Trip ≈ Wasting Your Time] 1. Heshun Ancient Town: Ming and Qing Dynasty architecture and bustling alleys. Open 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM. 2. Dieshuihe Waterfall: A rainbow waterfall in the city!

After all, the joy of 19°C is priceless~ ​📌[Tips: Easy Tips] • Sunscreen! UV rays are so strong it's hard to believe your life. • Bring rain gear! Water Splashing Festival is always possible in August. • Hike Gaoligong with a guide. Safety first. 💬[Personal Thoughts] Tengchong's 19°C summer is truly a lifesaver! But here are the real complaints: 1. The roads are slippery in the rain and you'll fall flat on your face (don't ask how I know 😭) 2. The UV rays are so strong it's like a tan, so you'll use sunscreen like water! The Ctrip hotel and ticket package is amazing! What other secrets do you have?

After strolling around Heshun Ancient Town in Tengchong, I tried the Songhua cake from Aunt Lin's shop. It had a subtle herbal aroma, mixed with brown sugar and red bean paste, and was sweetly and gently delicious.
