I declare giving up on Dali; this place has more authentic Yunnan characteristics

This is definitely the most worth revisiting hidden gem in Yunnan! Every scenery in Tengchong comes with a fairy-tale filter, more pristine than Dali and Lijiang, with fewer people, beautiful views, and great value for money. This is the right way to experience Yunnan~ 🌄
