We all know the eighteen strange things in Yunnan, such as three mosquitoes per dish, eggs sold on skewers with straw, trains are not as fast as cars, grasshoppers are used as appetizers, bamboo tubes are used as hookahs... very interesting , which summarizes the natural mountains, rivers, customs and customs very well. Later, when we traveled to Tengchong, the local saying "Eighteen Monsters of Tengchong" was also popular, which is quite interesting. Let's take a look together:

It talks about the fact that there are many volcanoes in Tengchong, and there are volcanic craters on the top of the volcanoes, such as Dakong Mountain and Xiaokong Mountain, so it is called "Ten Mountains and Nine Headless Mountains", and there is no mountain top on the top.

Tengchong is known to have ninety-nine volcanoes and eighty-eight hot springs. It is also a famous hot spring town in my country, so it is understandable that the second strangest thing is that the hot springs are so heroic.

Tengchong is a famous jade distribution center in my country. It has the reputation of "jade comes out of Tengyue". Because Tengchong borders Myanmar, it was once a distribution center for Southeast Asian jade. These jadeite were brought from Myanmar by Tengchong people and were carefully crafted by skilled craftsmen. The craftsmen carve the jade into craft jewelry and sell it to the mainland and around the world, so there are many time-honored jade shops here that have been around for hundreds of years.

Tengchong has many volcanoes, so there are a lot of volcanic stones. These volcanic pumice and volcanic eggs formed by volcanic eruptions have many pores and can float on water. They have many uses, not only It can also be used to build houses, pave bridges and roads, or buy cocoons to take home and rub on your feet when washing your feet.

Dajiujia is a story and a famous dish in Tengchong. According to legend, in the late Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty Zhu Youlang was forced to leave Kunming by Wu Sangui and fled to Tengchong. He was hungry and cold, and met a family. He didn't have anything to eat at home, so he fried a bowl of local bait. This was life-saving for Emperor Yongli, so he sighed with emotion: "You really saved my life!" Just like that, Fried bait cubes have since been also known as "Dajiujia" and have become a famous snack in Tengchong.

Stone gambling is a very common method of trading rough stones in Tengchong. That is, before the rough jade is unraveled, the process of evaluation, transaction or bidding is stone gambling, because the stone is not known at all before it is unraveled. In the end, whether it is good or bad depends entirely on luck. "One sword is for poverty, one sword is for riches, and one sword is for sackcloth." This Tengchong folk ballad tells the cruelty and good luck of stone gambling.

The largest, most famous and oldest library in Tengchong is not in the city, but in the Heshun Ancient Town with a history of more than 600 years. The Heshun Library is located beside the Heshun Shuanghong Bridge. Founded in 1928, the library has more than 100,000 volumes and is the largest rural library in China.

Tengchong is a place with outstanding people. Not only many celebrities have traveled here, but also many celebrities have come out of Tengchong. For example, the famous philosopher Ai Siqi is from Heshun Ancient Town and once served as acting state minister. Prime Minister Li Gengen and educator Cun Shusheng are all Tengchong natives. However, these people do not live in the city, but mostly live in old streets like Heshun Ancient Town. Their former residences are still preserved today.

Men in Tengchong travel to other parts of the country all year round to do business and make money. The burden of the family falls on the women, but the men are afraid that their wives and daughters will be exposed to the rain and sun while doing laundry, so they They returned to their hometowns one after another and built laundry booths by the stream, which shows that the men in Tengchong are very considerate and protective of their wives.

I have never seen this kind of fish, but I have heard of it. It is a small fish that lives in the Binlang River in Tengchong. It is called the tree fish. During the rainy season, they use the suckers on their abdomens to crawl up to the river. Jiang Xinde hangs on the trunk of a tree and waits until eggs are laid before leaving the tree. It is very magical and really strange.

This was before liberation. It is said that newspapers and periodicals in Shanghai at that time needed to go to Yangon, Myanmar, via Guangzhou and Hong Kong. However, the time required to enter the mainland from Tengchong was actually shortened by half compared to the time taken by land. Because of this, people in Tengchong naturally read newspapers much earlier than in Kunming, the provincial capital.

According to local friends, there are more than 220 kinds of azaleas growing on Gaoligong Mountain in Tengchong, which is the real kingdom of azaleas in the world. Authoritative scientists assert that there are only large rhododendron trees in Datang in Gaoligong Mountain in the world. The big rhododendron tree that grows in Tengchong, Yunnan, is more than 30 meters tall, with a base diameter of more than 3 meters and a base circumference of more than 10 meters. It is the largest rhododendron tree in the world and is known as the "King of Rhododendrons".

This is also a way of dining in Tengchong. The earthen pots used are shaped like Tengchong's volcanoes and hot seas. Burning charcoal in the earthen pot is called "volcano", and cooking meat and vegetables around it is called "hot sea". The form is very novel, but I really don't know what's wrong with it?
