Kailong Holiday Hotel

9.4/10437 Reviews

Guest User: 1. This hotel is one of the best in the county, with many large conference halls, convenient parking, and a convenient location near the highway exit. Choosing to stay here during peak season when Mangshi is too expensive is a wise decision. 2. The rooms are large, and the bathrooms are quite spacious. The style is old-fashioned, and the facilities are a bit dated, but still relatively new. Air conditioning isn't necessary in Yunnan's climate. 3. Breakfast is generally average. The rice noodles are okay, but the milk, soy milk, and pastries aren't very good. The chairs are large and take up a lot of space, and there aren't many tables, making dining a bit cramped. 4. The service is excellent. They called to remind me when I left something at the hotel. 5. Suggestion: The room number is on the side and is silver, making it very inconspicuous and difficult to identify. I suggest improving this.

New Year's Day Baoshan Tengchong Off-the-Beaten-Path Guide: Forest + Wild Hot Springs + Ancient Town

Recently discovered a hidden gem for New Year's Day — Baoshan + Tengchong. Spend 3 days avoiding the crowds, gathering pristine forests, wild hot springs, ancient bridges, and old towns all in one trip. Even the wind carries a relaxed scent of pine! 🌟 Why must you rush to Baoshan Tengchong this New Year's Day? 🌲 Gaoligong Mountain Easy Hike A 6-kilometer walk along Wudao Stream is so refreshing! In the dense primeval forest, streams flow around moss-covered stones, waterfalls spray mist mixed with the scent of plants, and you might spot squirrels jumping between branches. The wild charm is fully alive. ♨️ The Ultimate Wild Hot Spring: Shipiao Hot Spring A natural cave hot spring hidden in the valley! Water drips from the cave ceiling like a shower. Soak in the 40°C carbonated spring, listen to pine waves mingling with the stream sounds, steam swirling around ancient trees — it’s a perfect blend of wilderness and fairy-like atmosphere. 🏯 Slow Time in Heshun Ancient Town Xu Xiake called it "the foremost town on the frontier." Ancient bridges circle old courtyards. Find a teahouse to bask in the afternoon sun, watch the cooking smoke drift lazily, and even time seems to slow down. 📜 The Weight of History at Songshan Ruins Touch the trenches and see the group sculptures in person.

That kind of comforting ease can’t be felt in the city~

Longling Banglazhang Hot Spring in Yunnan, the first wonder soup in Western Yunnan

The 24° north latitude of the earth is rich in hot springs, and Longling, Yuxi, Mile in Yunnan, and Yilan in Taiwan are all located near this latitude line. Especially, the Longling Banglazhang Hot Spring in Yunnan is promoted as the "first-class hot spring in the country" and "the first wonder soup in Western Yunnan" with its "superior water quality". Banglazhang Hot Spring is located in the northwest of Longling City, Baoshan, Yunnan, with a distribution area of 1.942 square kilometers. There are more than 600 springs exposed on the ground. The magic of Banglazhang Hot Spring lies in its variability. The color of the spring water will change with the weather and crustal movement. Sometimes it is as thick as ink, sometimes as milky as milk, and sometimes clear to the bottom. Although many spring pools originate from the same spring eye, each spring pool has its own characteristics, and the color, temperature and heat of the water are different. The particularly famous one is the "Three Immortals Pool", which shows these wonderful differences. Banglazhang Hot Spring is mainly radon fluoride spring, and there are also carbonic acid spring and sulfur spring. The highest water temperature is 104℃. The hot spring contains 23 kinds of chemical elements such as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and rubidium. The mineralization degree of spring water is 0.7 grams/liter, which is very beneficial to the human body. It can eliminate fatigue, boost spirits, and has magical effects on various diseases. The Dai language "Banglazhang" means "the place where elephants are tied up". The Longling Banglazhang Hot Spring Resort is a high-end resort built by Longling County relying on rich hot spring resources. The resort covers an area of 194.2 hectares, with a pleasant climate and beautiful scenery. It has the first-class hot mineral spring group in the country. Visit Baoshan, Yunnan, check in at Longling Banglazhang Hot Spring Resort, and soak in the "first wonder soup in Western Yunnan" here, you can quickly wash away the fatigue of the journey and enjoy a wonderful unique hot spring journey.

I did only three things in Baoshan, Yunnan: drinking coffee, soaking in hot springs, and visiting ancient towns

☕️Drinking coffee Baoshan, Yunnan is an outstanding representative of Chinese coffee, known at home and abroad. When you come to Baoshan, you must experience the coffee culture 1⃣️Berton Manor From coffee beans to coffee and then to coffee feast, in this place that looks like a southern French manor, you can taste the different flavors of coffee 2⃣️Hukuo Coffee Manor Drinking coffee is a pleasure, living in a coffee manor, and taking in the first coffee village in China is even more enjoyable. I really don't want everyone to know about this little-known treasure manor. . ♨️Soaking in hot springs The fame of Baoshan hot springs, I believe I don't need to say more 1⃣️Tengchong Rehai Hot Spring Just the Rehai big boiling pot, a hot spring egg makes people fascinated 2⃣️Bangla Palm Hot Spring "The first strange soup in western Yunnan", here the mountains are high and the valleys are deep, the woods are lush, the heat is steaming, soak in it, and the fatigue will disappear . 📷Heshun Ancient Town Of course, when you come to Tengchong, you have to go to Heshun Ancient Town. This is the city at the end of the world in Xu Xiake's mouth. It is a place with diverse cultures, heavy history, full of dreams and legends, and also a ancient town full of life, worth strolling slowly. Check-in points: 1⃣️Heshun Library 2⃣️Mabang Tea Room 3⃣️Boat Dock 4⃣️Century-old Vegetable Street In fact, every angle in the ancient town has different scenery. Here, you don't have to pursue check-in positions, just stroll around and take pictures casually. . Left hand coffee right hand tea In Yunnan, be slower, be lazier, that's right

Western Yunnan 219 Road Trip | Soak in a 78°C Natural Hot Spring in Longling

Driving along the 219 National Highway in western Yunnan, the fatigue of a long road trip melts away in this private hot spring. We discovered a gem in Longling called Muyu Sujianju. No need to venture deep into the mountains—this place offers hot spring water directly supplied to the guest rooms from a natural source just 31 kilometers away. It's a rare metasilicic acid and fluorine-rich active hot spring. The spring water, infused with natural minerals like fluorine and metasilicic acid, works wonders on the aches and stiffness accumulated from hours of driving. A short soak not only relaxes your muscles but also rejuvenates your skin. Each room comes with a private hot spring bath. The minimalist wooden decor is clean and cozy, and the windows open to stunning views of distant mountains. Conveniently located by the highway, the guesthouse also offers shuttle services, a laundry room with dryers—perfect for road trippers—and even a tea room and simple farm-style meals. While you're here, make sure to visit the Songshan Battle Site and the Expeditionary Army Sculpture Park to delve into the rich history of western Yunnan. You can also take a stroll on the Longjiang Grand Bridge or explore Xiaoheishan. After taking in the breathtaking landscapes and historical sites, retreat to your room, close the door, and enjoy a private soak in the warm spring water. This is the ultimate way to unwind during a road trip in western Yunnan.

Banglazhang → Mangshi: Retracing the Glorious Path of the Yunnan-Burma Anti-Japanese War

Continuing our long-distance Western Yunnan road trip✨ Starting from Banglazhang today, this is a long day and arguably one of the most challenging stretches of the entire trip, heading straight to Mangshi. Driving over mountains, the route is steeped in the profound history of the War of Resistance in Western Yunnan. This is the best section of the entire Western Yunnan road trip for an immersive educational experience with children. Don't just skim the surface; understand the heroic past of the Burma Road along the way. Route: Banglazhang → Songshan Battle Site → Huitong Bridge → Laoyingzui → Mangshi 🏔️ Songshan Battle Site | A breathtaking view, a sobering look at the brutality of war The Expeditionary Force sculpture group at Songshan is striking and grand, allowing one to truly feel the magnificent lineup of the Expeditionary Force as they headed to the battlefield back then. But the entire original Songshan Battle Site is what truly shocks the soul. Hiking up the mountain, you can see tunnels, caves, and ambush fortifications left by the Japanese army everywhere. Standing on this land, you can personally feel the cruelty of the war and deeply understand how difficult it was for the Expeditionary Force to capture the natural fortress of Songshan. Songshan was the throat of the Western Yunnan War of Resistance; only by taking Songshan could the lifeline of the Burma Road be completely opened. These green mountains are landscapes defended by the flesh and blood of heroes❤️ 🌉 Huitong Bridge + Laoyingzui | The natural barrier of the Nujiang River, the throat of wartime transportation Leaving Songshan, we arrived at the wartime landmark, Huitong Bridge. Practical tip: The old Huitong Bridge is closed to traffic. Vehicles crossing the river cannot use the old bridge and must detour via the nearby Hongqi Bridge. The road conditions here are average, requiring you to drive along country roads through villages. It's a bit of a detour, but well worth the trip. Huitong Bridge holds a very high status in the history of the Western Yunnan War of Resistance. It connected the Expeditionary Force front lines with the Stilwell Road and was the core throat of the Burma Road. After seeing Huitong Bridge, stop by Laoyingzui on the way for an excellent view of the river. After visiting Huitong Bridge and Laoyingzui, we continued our long drive, heading straight to Mangshi. A long and tiring day, walking on the wartime lifeline of the past. The significance of this Western Yunnan road trip is not just the scenery, but an educational journey with children to look back at our national history. Next stop: Entering Mangshi, encountering a small city filled with Southeast Asian charm🌿

I've been to Baoshan 5 times. My advice... (the honest stuff nobody says)

! Last September–October I actually went to Baoshan 5 times 🔥 My friends kept asking if I had relatives there 😂 Truth is, I was just completely hooked. This small western Yunnan city that most people treat as a Tengchong transfer stop won me over with its slow pace and everyday life vibe. After writing for ages, this heartfelt, babysitter-level guide is finally out 👇 🍜 Food recommendations (if it's not good, blame me) Baoshan is seriously an underrated food heaven! For breakfast you must try thick bean flour porridge with er si noodles — the creamy bean paste coats the slippery er si, a local staple since childhood. For a main meal, go straight for huopiao beef (also called copper-ladle beef): beef simmered in a copper pot over charcoal becomes tender and flavorful, and the spicy red broth is so satisfying. Jinji pocket tofu has a soft, springy skin and a burst of savory juice inside; Yongchang da shao (huoshao pork) carries a unique thatch-smoked aroma. Don’t miss Banqiao lafei — it’s basically papaya juice, sweet, tart, and ice-cold, perfect with mortar-pounded cold salads. Lujiangba’s tropical fruit is so cheap it’ll make you cry, and the molten salted duck egg yolk in Fei'e xi bing is incredible. 🏠 Accommodation tips (pick the right area and you’ll save half the hassle) Staying in Longyang old town or around Qinghuahai is most convenient. CNY 140–240 per night, with dining and transport concentrated there. If you want atmosphere, choose a guesthouse on Banqiao Qinglong Street, CNY 180–280 per night — open the window and you’re right on the old street. I recommend staying put for 2 nights to avoid moving around. Driving to Lujiangba or Tengchong is easy. 🗺️ Itinerary (3-day, 2-night lazy version) Day 1: Old town stroll → morning Taibaoshan Forest Park (free! hike to the top for a city view) → noon head to the old town for huopiao beef → afternoon walk Banqiao Qinglong Street and the thousand-year-old post road → evening Qinghuahai wetland park for sunset, the lake loop bike ride is amazing Day 2: Nearby discoveries → drive to Lujiangba to check out a coffee estate (origin of small-bean coffee) → noon try Dai-style bao shao → afternoon hike Baihualing rainforest (ticket CNY 30) or go see Asia’s largest banyan tree Day 3: Easy return → morning visit Renshoumen ancient city ruins → noon have Yongchang huoshao pork → pick up some small-bean coffee as souvenirs 📸 Photo spots (everywhere is wallpaper-worthy) Qinghuahai Yongchang Pavilion at sunset is stunning; the reflection of the Wenbi Pagoda on Taibaoshan is beyond photogenic; the banyan groves at Lujiangba feel like Southeast Asia; Donghu Park in the early morning mist is otherworldly; in Sep–Oct Longling rice paddy park turns golden; if you catch the Longjiang rice-and-fish festival you can try catching fish. ⚠️ Pitfall tips (lessons learned the hard way) ❌ Rainy season is Sep–Oct and showers can come suddenly, bring an umbrella and wear non-slip shoes ❌ Big temperature swings between morning and night (12–22°C), a light jacket is essential ❌ Strong UV — wear sunscreen even on cloudy days ❌ Don’t buy overpriced shihu (dendrobium) herbs from roadside vendors ❌ Buy coffee at official estate shops ❌ Stay away from cheap roadside day tours and jade sales pitches ❌ Mountain roads are winding and can cause motion sickness, bring medication Baoshan is perfect for people who want to escape the crowds and spend a few quiet days. Prices are low, the pace is slow, the food is delicious, and the autumn scenery in Sep–Oct is stunning and not crowded. I really wrote this from the heart — if you find it useful, give it a ❤️ and save it

Peacock Valley

It's huge, covering an entire mountain. There are shuttle buses to and from the mountain. The jungle adventure is also good, with a particularly long walkway. The package ticket includes a slide down the mountain, which is quite nice. You can get up close to the peacocks in the peacock garden, and you can buy feathers at the small shops nearby. They're cheaper than other places! 👍🏻 Apparently, there are over 10,000 peacocks inside. I saw enough on my first day; afterwards, I got tired of seeing peacocks at other attractions. 😂 It's definitely worth it. Getting a taxi is also quite convenient.

Menghuan Grand Golden Pagoda

The Meng Huan Golden Pagoda is a must-see attraction in Mangshi. Its golden splendor can be seen from various parts of the city. Climbing the long steps, the pagoda's unique South Asian Dai royal palace style is visually stunning, and the view of it framed alongside the silver pagoda is unique. Inside, the Buddha statues are exquisite, and the Buddhist atmosphere is profound.

Scenic Spots of Menghuan Silver Pagoda

The Meng Huan Silver Pagoda in Mangshi is pure white and imposing, with exquisite and grand architecture. It shimmers in the sunlight during the day, and transforms into a dreamlike spectacle when illuminated at night. It's a great spot for taking photos.

Banglazhang Hot Spring

The hot springs were amazing, with a waterfall and a river nearby, the water flowing beautifully. Unfortunately, they're hidden in the mountains, and when I arrived at 6:30 PM, I was all alone – all the pools were mine! 😎 Hahaha

Shubao Tower

On January 7, 2026, I finally visited this tree-encased pagoda attraction that I'd been wanting to see for so long. Admission is free. The area is quite small, and new residential buildings, all 20 stories high, are under construction nearby. I imagine they'll affect the view when they're finished. The tree is enormous; it's a Bodhi tree, and the pagoda is nestled within its trunk. The tree and pagoda are tightly integrated, completely merging into one—a truly rare spectacle. Five to ten minutes is enough for a visit and some photos.
