About
云南边境小镇，以温泉、火山景观和玉石贸易历史而闻名。
Tengchong is a border town in Yunnan Province, in southwestern China. It is known for its hot springs, its volcanic landscapes, and its long history as a centre of the jade trade. The town is also written 腾冲 in Chinese.
What a visit offers
- Hot springs, which are the town's best-known natural attraction and a natural fit for a slow, restful stop.
- Volcanic scenery, giving the surrounding area a landscape quite different from the rest of the province.
- A jade trading heritage, which runs through the town's history and its markets.
Because Tengchong sits on the border, it has a character shaped by its position at the edge of the country, a quality that many travellers find distinctive.
Planning the trip
Tengchong suits visitors who want to combine soaking and scenery with a look at a trade that has shaped the town for generations. Plan a few unhurried days so that the hot springs and the volcanic countryside can each have their own time, and let the jade history guide how you spend the markets and streets of the town.
