A cross-border trip to the ancient city of Jianshui, and also my first trip to Yunnan

This Yunnan-Vietnam Railway trip came to China. The trip in China was not long, only three days, so I took the Chinese section (Hekou North-Kunming) as well, that is, all the trips were mainly in the Honghe Autonomous Prefecture. This was also my first time in Yunnan, and the scenery really did not disappoint. It was a cloudless and good weather all the way back from Vietnam walking to Hekou. I heard that it has started to snow heavily in the north, and the temperature here is nearly 30 degrees, just like South Asia 😆. Because I had a car accident on the last day of my trip to Vietnam, after entering the country today, I actually took a car all the way to Jianshui Ancient City, which is a relatively important railway, and rested for a day, after all, my hands are so painful;
I just walked across the border bridge and passed the Yunnan customs. I saw Vietnamese people coming from Lao Cai. They were dragging a large group of luggage to go back to their country. It was really spectacular. This is almost invisible at the Shenzhen-Hong Kong and Zhuhai-Macao ports that I often go. Then this city borders Lao Cai Province, Vietnam. There are a few French-style elegant buildings. I arrived at Hekou North Station and continued to connect to the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway to the north (this is called Kunyu River High-speed Railway, running green Fuxing). Most of the road sections are in tunnels, but the open-air scenery is also super big wallpaper, especially the way from Mengzi to Jianshui. The scenery and weather are very touching. I arrived in Jianshui in the evening. Due to the time difference, the sky is still very bright. I stayed in Jianshui Ancient City and picked up a homestay. It is hidden in a narrow alley. It is actually easy to get lost at first. The boss said it might rain in the next two days. 🌧️ Fortunately, it didn't rain during the two days and the weather was great. There is a Confucian temple and a lake in the ancient city, which are places with historical memories. You can go in and take a look at the ticket price of 38. Outside, it is a large commercial district with many jewelry or Yunnan restaurants. Except for the buildings, the rest is more commercial. Of course, I came here because it happened to be Monday, so I went shopping more during the day, and there were fewer things at night. 🤣 And I had a lot of body pain, so I didn't go shopping. I'll leave it for next time. 😉
