Why is Heshun called "the pearl on the ancient tea-horse road"?

Heshun ancient town, located in Tengchong. The ancient town is built by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery. The whole ancient town, in addition to the architectural details of carved beams and painted buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, also reveals a heavy commercial atmosphere. Perhaps, this business spirit is innate. Because Heshun is only 80 kilometers away from Myanmar, for hundreds of years, savvy Heshun people have the tradition of going abroad to take caravans. As a result, Heshun naturally became the only place to pass through the ancient tea-horse road in Yunnan and Tibet.

Heshun Ancient Town is the largest hometown of overseas Chinese in southwest China. More than 400 years ago, the villagers here began to "go abroad".

Because Heshun is only 70km away from Myanmar, most people go there to do jade business, some go to India (400km away from India), the United States and Canada, and many of them become rich dajia. After returning home, they built houses in Heshun and invested in the construction of ancestral temples. Eight ancestral temples in the township have different styles.

Influenced by foreign culture, Heshun's buildings are mostly a combination of Chinese and western styles, with South Asian and Southeast Asian styles. There are also many western handicrafts and modern articles in the house.

Because of the frontier fortress system of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty and many immigrants from the Central Plains in Heshun, including Anhui and Nanjing, the houses here also have Huizhou architectural style. Various architectural styles coexist harmoniously in this delicate southwest border.

Tengchong is the only place where the ancient Silk Road passes through southern Sichuan, Yunnan, Myanmar and India.

After great changes, Heshun people miraculously preserved ancient buildings and cultural relics with their extraordinary wisdom.
