Yunnan Pu'er Travel Notes: The Heavenly Road Traveled These Days

Today’s travelogue is written by a breeder.

Yesterday I walked more than 250 kilometers in one day, breaking my single-day driving record, but the price was too tired, so in addition to completing some simple tasks this morning, our family decided to change to a shelter to rest for the day.

By the way, we picked up the charging artifact that we bought online two days ago. With it, we can connect the power to the standard slow charging charging pile, especially in the big cities on the southeast coast. This will improve the battery life of the "Xiaowo" Ability is of great assistance. I'll try it first and recommend it to everyone if it works.

The parking place we chose today is a public parking lot near Pu'er City Government. When we arrived, we found that there were already many car enthusiasts stationed here, and they were all taller cars than our "Xiaowo", haha.

For lunch, I cooked the cumin beef that Little Fatty likes and the shredded carrots that Brother Chen likes. As long as they like to eat, I like to eat them all, haha!

After a nice nap, we decided to wash the dirty clothes accumulated in the past few days, taking advantage of the convenient water here.

While we were washing clothes, Brother Yin and his family also met us here. Five days after leaving Mangshi, Brother Yin and his family have returned from a trip to Xishuangbanna. Our "snail travel" speed is evident. We must have seriously slowed them down during those days together.

As soon as they arrived at the den, Sister Yin started cooking and filled a bowl of vermicelli for Brother Chen. Brother Chen held the bowl and insisted on eating with Brother Yin and his family.

The fire clouds in Pu'er are very beautiful, but it's a pity that the viewing angle in the parking lot is not good

After dinner, we went to the famous Tea Horse Ancient City Scenic Area in Pu'er City with Brother Yin's family. It is said that the night market here is very prosperous.

This is a honey brown sugar bun, made with local specialty brown sugar and honey. It costs 3 yuan a piece, which is a bit expensive. We are on a diet and stayed away from it. We only bought a brown sugar steamed bun for Brother Chen to try.

Dai steamed dumplings, stuffed with meat and served with special dipping water, are very delicious and cost 10 yuan per basket.

A variety of cold dishes with peppers and vegetables, including Duoyiguo. After so many days, I still can't get enough of these "delicious foods".

The Ancient Tea Horse City is a newly developed attraction. It is a man-made landscape and is actually not very interesting. There are mostly shops selling Pu'er tea, so it is not very popular at night. But the lighting effect is still good.

The stalls inside are quite unique. They are all large flat slabs, relatively low, with flags of the Ancient Tea Horse Road hanging on them.

 

The items sold are not satisfactory, and they are basically available at all attractions. Brother Chen is very interested in balls made of wood.

There is a bonfire dance here every day. When we went there, the security guards were lighting the bonfire. One of the security guards even asked me to lend him a fire. Sorry, I don’t smoke.

My Brother Chen can also dance along. Fortunately, I don’t have artistic talent with me. I am very good at singing, dancing and painting.

There are more and more people dancing, and many tourists are also participating. Poor me, I can only watch from a distance and dare not go in to show my shame.

After watching the dance, we went to look for food again. We promised to lose weight...

In order to alleviate our guilt, Little Fatty and I had a vegetarian oden, and Little Chen had small glutinous rice balls with glutinous rice wine and brown sugar.

As a result, Brother Chen still didn't finish the meal, and most of the remaining bowl went into my stomach again...

Today’s travelogue is very short, so I decided to share with you my thoughts on the roads I have traveled in Sichuan and Yunnan these days.

So far, our Xiaowo has traveled a total of 3,100 kilometers, all along national and provincial highways. You know the national and provincial highways in Sichuan and Yunnan. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are "roads to heaven".

The more difficult thing to walk is Provincial Highway 307 in Sichuan. Its main features are that the road is narrow and has many turns. Every time you pass a car, you feel like you are going to hit it. You must stay in your own lane on this kind of road. But if you want to reach the quiet and beautiful Mahu, Provincial Highway 307 is the only way to go. Once you really reach Mahu, you will find that the road is worth it no matter how difficult it is.

The hardest part to walk was the Xiangda Line after leaving Mangshi. The road is narrow, winding, and steep. It took nearly an hour to walk for just over 20 kilometers. When I arrived at Xiangda Town, I felt that my whole palms were sweaty. , the engine stalled several times.

In addition, the more difficult part is Provincial Highway 319 from Zhenkang County to Gengma County. Although the road surface is relatively smooth, the standard is relatively low because it takes a long time to repair the road. In addition, our last 30 kilometers It was night driving and it was very tiring. It is recommended that you do not take the provincial highway at night. If you must take it, the speed must be slow, and it is best to follow the car in front, which will save a lot of energy.

In addition to the above-mentioned roads, the national and provincial highways in Sichuan and Yunnan are relatively easy to travel. Although there are many curves, the roads are smooth and the bumps are not too big. Road maintenance workers can be seen in basically all places with poor road conditions. Under maintenance. With the in-depth implementation of the concept of "build roads first if you want to get rich", we can believe that the national and provincial roads in southwest China will definitely become easier to travel in the future.

If you want to enjoy more beautiful scenery, taking the national and provincial highways not only saves money, but also provides more beautiful scenery. You can also find a place to stop and take photos at any time!
