As early as a few years ago, Xishuangbanna was one of the most popular tourist cities in China. Here is a place with ethnic customs, rich in tropical rain forests, a wide variety of animals and plants, and flowers bloom all year round. For various reasons, Xishuangbanna is no longer a hot topic, but this does not prevent Xishuangbanna from being beautiful and suitable for living, especially in a small county under its jurisdiction.
This small county is Menghai. At first glance, the name thought it was a sea, or it was located by the sea, but it was not. Menghai county is mainly located in the west of Xishuangbanna, at the border, bordering Myanmar in the west and south. You can cross Myanmar from Rhoda Port to Thailand, which is the shortest land route from China to Thailand. The special geographical location makes it different from the inland areas and full of exotic customs.
Menghai enjoys excellent climatic conditions, with no severe cold in winter and no intense heat in summer, winter 13-25 and summer 18-30. Of all the livable towns in Yunnan, few are better than Menghai in terms of climate. In fact, when people choose a nursing home, the first consideration is not economic development, but the climate of this place. The weather in the north is too cold, the weather in the south is too hot, and the climate is neither cold nor hot.
The climatic conditions in Menghai are suitable for life, and the natural environment is also suitable for life. When you get older, people become quiet. When I have nothing to do, I just want to drink tea, take a walk and breathe fresh air. Menghai is the hometown of Pu 'er tea, and it is also the place where tea is born prematurely in China. There is a very famous wild tea tree here, at least 1700 years old. Known as the "king of tea trees", there are many ancient tea trees.
In addition to tea, Menghai people also grow rice. The climatic conditions here are suitable for rice growth and rich in high-quality rice. It has been a "granary in southern Yunnan" since ancient times. Tea and rice are the main economic sources of Menghai people, which means that there is almost no industry here, so there is no industrial pollution, and the natural environment will undoubtedly be particularly good. Relying on the primary industry agriculture and the secondary industry to make tea, the economic development of Menghai County is not very good, but it is precisely because of this that the pace of life in Menghai is so slow.
Living in Menghai, the consumption level is very low, the price is cheap, people who are in a hurry are not seen, and there is no coldness in big cities. Everyone is very hospitable. In fact, Yunnan people are very hospitable, especially Menghai people. They don't cheat customers, but they are confused by some people. Seeing is believing, you will know when you go, but only if you are a real local, not those who cheat everywhere.
There are many scenic spots in Menghai, such as Man 'ai Buddhist Temple and the first village in China and Myanmar. Menghai used to be the religious and cultural center of China-Myanmar border, and the Tallinn, Shenshu and Shenquan at the entrance of the village were all related to religion and mysterious. There are many Buddhist believers here, and the Man's Dwarf Buddha Temple is one of their favorite places. It is the center of religious and cultural activities of the Dai people with a long history. Founded in 950, it has a history of 107 1 year. Over the years, the short-lived Buddhist temple in Manzhong has become more solemn, simple and charming after years of baptism.
Meng Jinglai, the first village in China and Myanmar, is a typical Dai village, adjacent to Myanmar, with close contacts, frequent business marriages and a rare phenomenon of Dai and Shan living together, which is shocking. Of course, this has also become a major feature of local tourism, and many people come for this. Almost everyone here believes in Buddhism. If you travel here, I suggest you respect the local religious beliefs. They love their beliefs very much.
Menghai county, a place with suitable climate, superior natural environment, beautiful scenery and slow pace of life. In fact, even if you don't take care of the elderly, it's a pleasure to walk around here.
