Puer: A local's travel guide.

Recently, some tourists have asked me for a travel guide to Puer! I wonder how they found this small city on the southwest border. Is Puer going to be popular? So, here's a guide from a local's perspective. : Transportation Plane - Puer Station (transfer from Kunming to Puer) High-speed rail - Puer Station (3.5 hours from Kunming to Puer) In the city - Taxi, shared bike, chartered car for surrounding tours : Attractions ① Puer Sun River National Park - 4A Scenic Area (Tickets required, additional fees for interacting with animals in the park. The red pandas are adorable. If you like nature, you can spend half a day here.) ② Nake Ancient Tea Horse Road (No tickets required. The scenery is quaint, with some tea houses and cafes. The area is not large, so half a day is enough for a leisurely stroll.) ③ China Puer Tea Expo Garden - 4A Scenic Area (Tickets required. The ecological tea garden is full of greenery and fresh air. You can experience tea picking and simple tea making.) ④ Jingmai Mountain Ancient Tea Forest - World Heritage Site (No tickets required. The journey is long, so a two-day chartered car tour is recommended. If you have time, I highly recommend visiting, as the scenery changes with the seasons.) : City Walk Dai Family Lane / Puer Old Street / Administrative Office / Supply and Marketing Cooperative Warehouse Meizi Lake Park / Tea Mountain Viewing Platform / Xima River Wetland Park May 1st Farmers' Market / Ancient Tea Horse Road Night Market / TV Station Big Banyan Tree : Foodies ① Rice noodles: Cross-bridge rice noodles, sour rice noodles, Dai-style rice noodles, clay pot rice noodles, beef rice noodles, lamb rice noodles, chicken rice noodles, cold rice noodles, pounded rice noodles, hand-grabbed fish rice noodles, and more 🍜 ② Wild mushrooms: Try them during the rainy season. Yigui Xinyuan in the city is quite delicious. I don't recommend buying fresh ones to cook yourself 🍄 ③ Glutinous food: Rice cakes, glutinous rice, steamed cakes, delicious and addictive ④ Cold dishes: Ah Xian sour chicken feet, Lao Bai ethnic group, Niangniang Laos ⑤ Barbecue: Old Street Sweet Skewers, Yule Barbecue, No. 52 Brother Shi's Grilled Chicken, Banna-style Fish Wrapped in Vegetables, Shen's Stinky Tofu and Fish (queue), and recently, a popular Jinggu Barbecue at Waltz Plaza, with spicy beef as a must-try 😋 : Coffee Lovers ① Cafes: Torch Coffee, Jianyu Coffee, Great Bean (You can also come to my shop for a cup. We only serve hand-brewed coffee, with Puer specialty beans and Geisha.) ② Coffee Estates: Tianyu Estate, Dakahe, Wild Duck Pond, Torch... It's not the production season now, but you can see coffee trees and green fruits.
