Guanyi Village
Guanyi village is a hidden gem in the Honghe region of Yunnan province, China. It is home to the Hani people, who have lived in harmony with nature for centuries. The village is surrounded by spectacular terraced rice fields, which change color with the seasons. The villagers have preserved their traditional culture and lifestyle, such as their unique architecture, clothing, festivals, and cuisine. Guanyi village is a perfect destination for travelers who want to experience the authentic and diverse beauty of China.
Swallow Cave
If you love nature and adventure, you should definitely visit the Swallow Cave in Honghe, Miandian. It is one of the biggest and most splendid caves in Asia, with a dry cave, a water cave and a natural forest. You can marvel at the amazing stalactites and stalagmites, some of which resemble lovers, peacocks and other shapes. You can also see thousands of swallows that fly here every year from Malaysia to nest and breed. They create a spectacular scene that you won't forget. You can explore the cave with a guide who will turn on the lights to highlight the special features.
Wenbi Tower
On a hill south of town, this early 19th-century structure is meant to resemble a writing brush, although to a modern traveler it may look more like a factory smokestack. You cannot drive to the tower, but there is a more or less informal trail people use to approach the tower from the southwest, starting at a roadside sign in Baishuihe Village. The tower is a solid stone structure, without any interior space or a staircase. So any views you get are those from the ground at the base of the tower (not particularly great).
