I'm from the northeast. After retiring from work five years ago, I bought a house by the Lancang River in Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. 1 1 lived in Banna for half a year from January to April of the following year, and then went back to the north for the summer and lived a happy life like a migratory bird. In order to make it easier for my friends to understand my family's old-age life, I will tell you the truth about life here and say whatever comes to mind. 1. Xishuangbanna, located at the southernmost tip of Yunnan, has jurisdiction over Jinghong City and Mengla County in Menghai, with an area of 1.9 million square kilometers, which is more than half of the area of Taiwan Province Province in China. Bordering Laos and Myanmar, the border is the warmest place in Yunnan. Jinghong is the seat of the state capital, the political, economic, cultural, educational, medical and transportation center of the whole state, and an important external gateway to the southwest border of China. Its geographical and strategic location is very superior and important. Second, the climate here is pleasant, and people feel very comfortable in winter. It is a forest garden city, surrounded by mountains and green plants. There are all kinds of tropical trees and exotic flowers and grasses here, which make the city streets beautiful and colorful. Walking on the road is like visiting a garden, which makes people linger. Old people are afraid of cold, but the temperature here is too warm. You can wear short sleeves, skirts and sandals during the day, but there is a big temperature difference between morning and evening. The average temperature in winter is more than 20 degrees, and the hottest in the afternoon sometimes reaches 30 degrees, but there are not many such days. Because there are dense trees, wide rivers and many lakes, there is no pollution from industrial enterprises and the air is good. In addition, the altitude is low, the average urban area is more than 500 meters, which is at least 1500 meters lower than Kunming. If you drive from Kunming to Banna, no wonder you always feel downhill. Many northerners in Banna have alleviated the symptoms of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and some patients with rhinitis have even recovered. I think this has a considerable relationship with the local natural environment. Third, Xishuangbanna is a place where more than a dozen ethnic minorities live together, mostly Dai, most of whom believe in Buddhism, with simple folk customs and kind people. Now we have lived for five winters. In terms of daily life, we have never seen fighting or swearing when traveling or playing, and the social order is stable and harmonious. The architecture here is very distinctive, and the Dai people have a unique style. Golden buildings and courtyards are colorful against the background of green trees and flowers. There are not many people in the street during the day, probably because of the hot weather. At night, there are traffic, crowds and colorful buildings. This is a city that never sleeps. Services such as catering, entertainment and night market are open until midnight, and nightlife is prosperous, worthy of the name. Dai girls are also famous for their beauty. They wear colorful national costumes, and heavy makeup is always appropriate. It is absolutely a beautiful scenery to walk around the street view. Fourth, Banna has infinite scenery, many different scenery and many interesting places. Living for a few years is just a leak, picturesque and charming, attracting countless tourists and migratory birds. Natural landscape and human landscape are unique and cannot be copied. Limited to space, let me briefly talk about the Lancang River, which is swift, clear, wide and long. It flows through Banna and exits through Jinghong City. The name of the river is changed to Mekong River, and one river connects six countries. The scenery along the coast is different and beautiful. The Lancang River is beautiful day and night. The flowing of the river adds rhythm and aura, charm and softness, charm of Dai township and happiness of Jinghong to the city, which really deserves its reputation. This river is more beautiful at night. Every time the lights are turned on, there are thousands of lights on both sides of the river, tall rainforest trees, buildings with ethnic characteristics and modern design stand in the reflection of the river, laughter comes from large cruise ships on the river, and small speedboats of different shapes happily carry tourists by, competing for each other and showing their magical powers. The Gaozhuang Night Market in Jiangbei, which is worth mentioning, is very famous and has a lot of tourists. It is also a must-see place for punching in. It collects the customs of Dai and Southeast Asia. It is said to be the largest night market among the ten Southeast Asian countries. Small commodities from many countries are gathered here, which is dazzling. There are all kinds of Dai and national specialties, and there are an endless stream of early adopters. You can also go sightseeing on the water and shop on the boat, so that buyers can add new experiences. Don't take a walk in Gaozhuang, let alone go to Xishuangbanna. To say that women love shopping, the men who granted them patents are convinced that the men who accompanied them have become handbag owners who don't spend money, and there is nothing they can do to sweep the goods. My wife is also a shopping fan. How many times has she been to the night market, and she still enjoys it. Let's talk about urban landscape. Man Ting Park is the imperial garden of Dai kings in history, and its humanistic value and spectacular degree are amazing. At that time, our beloved Premier Zhou came here to celebrate the festival with the Dai people, and later generations erected statues to commemorate it, so that the voice, smile and great personality of the Prime Minister would remain in the hearts of the people forever and moved tourists. This is a must-see garden for tourists. The Great Buddha Temple and the General Temple are resplendent and solemn, with splendid golden walls, and there are many pilgrims, celebrities and politicians of all ethnic groups. As for the 4A and 5A scenic spots in Banna, there are countless scenic spots, such as virgin forest, Wild Elephant Valley, proud as a peacock, Dai Garden and Wangtianshu. Besides, there is a large music fountain built by the government on the south bank of the Yangtze River, which is played for residents and tourists many times every night. Accompanied by moving music and lighting colors, all kinds of splashes change, and the scene is exciting and shocking, so that everyone on both sides of the strait can watch it together. Besides, the beauty of this mountain is even more beautiful. The places where immortals live in different ways can't be seen in three days and three nights, and they can't be seen in three to five years. Fifth, the transportation is convenient and developed. There are many expressway's across the mountain, leading to all directions at home and abroad. Roads in counties, cities, towns and villages are as dense as cobwebs. Water shipping is relatively developed, and the Jinghong section is currently dredging the waterway. The new bridge under construction on both sides of the Lancang River flies north and south, making people's exchanges more convenient. Xishuangbanna Airport is the second largest airport in Yunnan after Kunming Changshui. There are more than 50 domestic and international routes, and the aviation industry is very developed. It only takes one hour to fly from Banna to Kunming. The construction of the Trans-Asian Railway is in full swing. At present, the track of the middle and old sections is being laid across the board. It is planned that the section from Kunming to Vientiane, the capital of Laos, will be opened to traffic by the end of this year. After that, the railways from Vientiane to Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore will be built one after another. The Trans-Asian Railway is an arduous and huge great project, benefiting people from all countries along the route. Sixth, the municipal facilities of the residence are complete and convenient in water, electricity and gas logistics, and the security maintenance personnel have a strong sense of responsibility. Our community is backed by Century Jinyuan Golf Course, facing the Lancang River, and it is only a few minutes' walk from the entrance of the community to the riverside landscape. Public toilets and toilets are reasonably arranged at the entrance and exit of each plank road, and there are many long seats for the convenience of tourists. Last year, the city changed into a new type of beautiful bus and set up stations at the gates of various communities. Bus/kloc-runs every 0/5 minutes, leading to the urban commercial outlets and Lai market, which is convenient for residents to travel and shop. The residential area is shaded by trees, with dense flowers and plants, reasonable layout, one pavilion and one scene, sculptures on the first floor, clear water in fish ponds, scenic trails, trees in front of the window and behind the house, and buildings hidden among the green trees, which makes residents relaxed and happy. Property management in place, business households have difficulties, maintenance workers arrived, immediately resolved. I live here with peace of mind, comfortable life and no worries. Seventh, life is colorful and not lonely, and there are many friends in all corners of the country. Migratory birds from all over the country gather here, and their southern accents shift northward, including Heijiliao, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia, Lu Yu, Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan, Tibet-Mongolia, Chongqing, Hunan, Jiangxi-Guangxi, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, etc. Everyone came together for the same goal, which was very lively. No matter your age, temperament or specialty, as long as you leave home, put down your airs and be honest with the government and people, you will find a bosom friend. Fishing, singing, dancing, shopping, eating and partying, playing chess, painting and calligraphy, making friends, traveling in groups and bragging. Being alive and not tired actually lies in two words: "mentality." To sum up, I think Xishuangbanna is a good place for the aged. Of course, everyone has a different perspective. Some people have a cursory look, some have dismounted to look closely, some have hearsay, and some have no opinions. Maybe there are more suitable places for providing for the aged in Yunnan. We should make more efforts to think hard and observe deeply, so as to find a better place for our rest and health. Finally, my experience is that the beautiful Xishuangbanna is beautiful! Not exactly. I lived in Xishuangbanna Dai Garden for 65,438+00 days in February, and also lived in Gaozhuang. I also went to Zhangman Village and Yuanman Village. Tell me how I feel 1. The air in Xishuangbanna is humid in the morning and evening, and the clothes in the room will feel wet. If you put the dried clothes in the room, you will feel wet again. It is foggy and rainy every morning. The winter sun in Xishuangbanna won't come out until around 1 pm. After the sun comes out, the temperature will be much warmer, but the clothes will not dry well. They get wet after being left in the room for one night, and they have to be taken out to dry the next day. 3. Now the Lancang River is being dug everywhere, and the road to Dai Garden is dusty. The road leading to Zhangman Village is dusty, which is said to be caused by the construction of international high-speed rail. This is my impression of Xishuangbanna. Maybe I'm from the south, and the air in the city where I live is very good, so I don't think the air in Xishuangbanna is very good, but the northerners around me feel very good compared with the air in the north because they can only stay at home in winter. Different people have different opinions. Renting a house is better than buying a house, because there is no need to buy a house for the winter. The reason will be discussed in the next article. 1) It's too hot. 2) The price is too expensive. 3) There are too many rubber trees around, and the environment and air are not good. 4) There are many mosquitoes and dengue fever. 5) Gray, poor urban construction. Dirty. 6) The humanistic environment is not good, and the phenomenon of xenophobia is heavy. 7) The diet is single and unpalatable. 8) The level of medical service institutions is poor and the equipment and facilities are backward. 9) The traffic is inconvenient. 10) There are few cultural activities in entertainment places and leisure places. So don't come. I don't know why northerners always come to work when they come. Of course not. Old-age places must first have a good and convenient medical environment, rich living materials and culture. I have been there for 4 times, and all aspects of experience are very suitable for old-age care.
