Previously visited - Tengchong 9 Oct to 11 Oct

Tenchong is a fairly remote city in SW China. The hotel we stayed in was fairly new, had grotty carpets, very odd English translations, had the word ‘Airport’ in its full name – the airport is yet to be built – was clean but noone spoke any English.

We visited the old walled village of Herschwin – narrow alleyways, interesting houses, the home of Ai Siqi – famous Chinese philosopher. It also had an interesting museum of Yunnan/Myanmar’s battle against the Japanese in the early 1940’s (?) and a large old library.
There were a group of people filming a movie called The Jade Phoenix with, according to our guide, 2 famous Chinese actors. We saw a group of actors dresses as Japanese soldiers waiting. ‘Action’ is a universal word.

We visited a peaceful war cemetery and attached museum and nearby waterfall
