2023 Tengchong New Year's Eve
After landing in the border town, I first chose Heshun Bailian, located to the west of Heshun Ancient Town, which is also one of the most anticipated destinations for this trip.
I have always heard of Bailian's reputation, but its extremely low-key marketing and unspeakable feelings and experiences can only be more real if you experience it in person.
The hotel is located on the west side of the ancient town. There will be a special car to pick up and drop off at the airport, and there will also be a special shuttle bus to and from Heshun Ancient Town. The location of the entire hotel is in the quietest corner of the ancient town, but it is suitable for walking back to the hotel from the ancient town for 15 minutes in the evening facing the sunset. There is a thousand-year-old tree landscape inside the hotel (Figure 1). The ancient trees under the sunset show a very vigorous vitality, and the thousand years of time turn into a circle of annual rings, quiet and peaceful, solemn and mysterious.
The decoration of the hotel is in the new Chinese style, and large pieces of teak build the structural skeleton of the building. The overall style not only does not look old-fashioned, but has a comfortable order. Every blade of grass, every light and every shadow expresses the forbearance and implicitness of modern Chinese aesthetics. Whether it is the twilight in the morning or the setting sun in the afternoon, through the potted pine in front of the door, time seems to be silent, and only a glance can last for ten thousand years.
The hotel's hot spring is also a very big highlight and surprise. Although the room is equipped with a private hot spring, I went to the hotel's outdoor hot spring for two nights. More than a dozen hot spring pools are hidden in different jungles. The shadows of trees, grass, moon, and stars echo each other and complement each other. Looking up is a little star, looking down is steaming mist, time and space are intertwined, and the stars are moving. Tossing around in different pools, one or two hours will pass quickly. With a sip of ice cola brought from the hotel, it has a unique flavor when drinking it in the 40℃ pool.
The service is also nothing to say. The housekeeper has been intimate since the check-in. Even in the peak season of New Year's Eve, the villa room type was upgraded. Miss Aileen introduced the room type and arranged a car to the ancient town. Not only did she give us the experience of making incense and tasting tea, but she also prepared take-away breakfast and souvenirs on the day of check-out. Although the hotel breakfast is not very varied, each one is exquisite, and the rice noodles and rice noodles cooked on site are very good.
The two-day trip was hurried and short, but I will remember that afternoon at the end of 23 years, sitting in the living room of Bailian and gazing at the scenery outside the window, the sun was golden, the vegetation was lush and green, the world was natural, and everything was harmonious.
