Heshun, Tengchong

Heshun is a village of stone lanes, clan halls and courtyard houses about 4 km from Tengchong city. Day groups fill it from mid-morning to late afternoon; stay inside and you get the quiet dawns and evenings. Use it as a base and take taxis out to the volcanoes, Rehai and the war museum.
