I visited Tengchong in mid-January 2024 Stayed in Heshun Ancient Town. The entrance ticket was 55 yuan per person. Ticket checks are required when entering and moving around the town, but if you don't have your ticket, you can report your ID number to look up the purchase record. After 7:30 pm, taking a taxi back allows you to avoid the ticket check. Stay: We stayed in the 'Colorful Clouds' room at Yifang Longtai Homestay, which offers a 270-degree panoramic view. The host was very warm-hearted and had turned on the bed's water heating before we arrived. Clothing: During this season, Tengchong is quite cool in the morning and evening, but warm at noon. There's no need for short sleeves, but do bring sunscreen. Transport: You can walk around Heshun Ancient Town, and taking a taxi to the scenic spots outside the town is not far. Driving in the town is inconvenient as it often requires navigating narrow roads. Sights: In the morning, you can finish touring Heshun Ancient Town in half a day, where there's a morning market that you can visit with your ticket. You can also visit the Heshun Library. In the afternoon, bring a swimsuit to the Rehai 'Big Rolling Pot'. You can buy tickets through the accommodation, which might be cheaper. When in Tengchong, you must experience the hot springs. We chose Rehai because it's more authentic. Of course, there are also some five-star hotels with hot springs. Rehai is known for its sulfur hot springs, but there are also other types like carbonic acid springs. Other hotel hot springs mainly offer carbonic acid springs. The next morning, we went to the Great Earth Tea Sea, but I must remind you that it's not the tea-picking season now, so there really isn't much to see or do. You might try it in early spring. In the afternoon, we went to the Wetland Park, which is great for taking photos. I also tried a cup of Dendrobium drink.
