Detailed Itinerary
Drive to Nannuo Mountain in the morning, which is a place in the middle of way from Jinghong to Menghai, famous for tea of very good quality. Fine tea tree varieties and superior natural conditions produce outstanding Nannuo Mountain tea products. Nannuo Mountain Peacock tea is a 400 gram fresh Pu-er cake. It possesses a green, glossy luster and has leaves and buds that are plump, strong, and tender. The strips of tea unfold with prominent fine hair. When brewed, the tea liquor is a bright golden yellow with a strong, but mellow and refreshing flavor. It has a sharp feeling in the mouth and stimulates salivation. The tea has strong and distinctive aroma.
Then, move on to visit the Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion which is named after the place where it is located. The octagonal pavilion, called “Wo Su” in the Dai language, is a place where the senior Buddhist monks giving sutra, repenting, holding meetings and memorizing Buddha. In the village of Jingzhen, about 14 km northwest of Menghai, is the Octagonal Pavilion, first built in 1701 as a place of Buddhist worship. The original structure was severely damaged during the Cultural Revolution but renovated in 1978 and the ornate decoration is still impressive. The temple also operates as a monastic school.

Best Time to Visit to Avoid Monsoons
September is generally a good month to visit China, as it marks the end of the summer monsoon season. While there might still be occasional rains, the weather is typically more stable and less humid compared to the peak monsoon months (June to August).
Itinerary: Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, and Zhangjiajie National Forest
Guangzhou: Known for its modern architecture, shopping, and cuisine.
Beijing: Rich in history and culture with attractions like the Great Wall, Forbidden City, and Tiananmen Square.
Shanghai: Famous for its skyline, the Bund, and vibrant city life.

It is possible to visit all these locations in one trip. However, it requires careful planning to manage travel time and logistics efficiently.
