April 14 Fly to Tengchong:


Today we visited Heshun village, which is a popular tourist spot as it is an old traditional Chinese village with cobbled streets and lots of picturesque buildings. There used to be a charge to visit the attractions in the village (museum, library, etc.) but now you have to pay the same rate just to enter the village and stroll around. We spent a few hours wandering around. Our favourite spot was a temple, which had four levels that gave increasingly nice views of landscape and tiled roofs. We also enjoyed a private tour of a really old house. Part of the housing complex was a restaurant. We were not ready for lunch but the owner saw how interested we were in the house and showed us her private rooms, which were rich with wood and wood carving.
