The Heshun Library in front of everyone is the 'largest rural library in China', established in 1928 with donations from local overseas Chinese... "During the just concluded National Day and Mid Autumn Festival holiday, tour guide Yin Xiaowei's daily lectures in Heshun Ancient Town, Tengchong, Yunnan attracted many tourists to stop and visit. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, Heshun Ancient Town in Tengchong City has been the starting point of "traveling to foreign countries". Tens of thousands of overseas Chinese have traveled to South Asia and Southeast Asia to make a living, bringing back exotic cultures that collide with local traditions to create a unique style of overseas Chinese hometown. There are currently over 7000 residents in Heshun Ancient Town, with more than 30000 Heshun people residing overseas, distributed in 13 countries and regions including Myanmar, the United States, and Canada. The people of Heshun have a catchphrase: Roman bells, English doors, Czech lampshades, German basins. ”Yin Xiaowei said that this sentence expresses the style of combining Chinese and Western elements in Heshun Ancient Town. Every year, the local area welcomes a large number of overseas Chinese to visit and become a popular check-in spot for tourists from home and abroad. Entering Heshun, one can not only appreciate the blue bricks and black tiles of the Jiangnan water town, but also find architectural elements such as South Asian style doors and European style windows. During this holiday, Heshun Ancient Town launched China-Chic Song and Dance Party, bonfire dancing, talk show performance and other activities to bring tourists a more diversified experience. According to statistics, during this year's National Day and Mid Autumn Festival holidays, Heshun Ancient Town received nearly 80000 tourists, with the highest daily tourist volume reaching about 20000. In the Overseas Chinese Community of Kejie Town, Changning County, Baoshan City, about 200 kilometers away from Heshun Ancient Town, a restaurant specializing in overseas Chinese cuisine is bustling with customers every day during the National Day and Mid Autumn Festival holidays. Many people drive hundreds of kilometers just to experience the "overseas Chinese cuisine" of "tasting Yunnan and Southeast Asia in one go". The "overseas flavor" of the overseas Chinese community in Kejie Town originates from a special history. In the 1970s and 1980s, more than 2000 Southeast Asian returning overseas Chinese were resettled in the predecessor of the community - Ke Street Overseas Chinese Farm. The living habits, dietary culture, and other aspects brought by them gradually integrate with the local Yi, Dai, and other ethnic cultures, forming a living scene of "strong overseas Chinese culture and rich local flavor". "In the overseas flavor restaurant here, you can not only eat Vietnamese flavor such as fried Spring rolls, braised pork, small roll noodles, but also taste the fried banana taro fans with Baoshan characteristics. ”Tourist Xiao Mingyu from Kunming said. In recent years, the hot spring geothermal resources and overseas Chinese cuisine restaurants in Kejie Town have become signs that attract tourists, with an annual visitor volume of over 30000. Not only Baoshan, but also during the National Day and Mid Autumn Festival holidays, many tourists posted check-in photos in overseas Chinese towns such as Yisa Ancient Town in Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Xizhou Ancient Town in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, and Ruili City in Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province. Yunnan is one of the five major hometowns for overseas Chinese in China. According to incomplete statistics, there are over 2 million compatriots from Yunnan, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese, widely distributed in more than 70 countries and regions around the world, with Southeast Asia being the most concentrated. Professor Xu Min from Yunnan Institute of Socialism stated that Yunnan has abundant cultural resources of overseas Chinese, carrying the historical memory and patriotic sentiments of overseas Chinese. At the same time, the unique architectural culture of overseas Chinese hometowns such as Tengchong Heshun, Honghe Yisa, and Dali Xizhou presents cultural characteristics of long history, diversity, inclusiveness, and openness.
