General presentation
Pu'er
Tea hills, subtropical forests and multi-ethnic villages surround the city that gave its name to a world-famous tea.
Ancient plants of Mount Jingmai, Museum of Tea of Pu'er and Tears of Pu'er give the most telling landmarks of Pu'er. Together, they form a destination where urban life, the countryside, forests and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.

For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Plantations anciennes du mont Jingmai
Blang and dai villages maintain very old tea plantations mixed with a subtropical forest. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked prior to departure; water, suitable clothing and hourly margin remain useful, even during the most favorable season.
Museum
Musée du thé de Pu'er
The collections explain the culture, transformation, trade and aging of tea produced in the southwest of Yunnan. Collections and remains take time to exceed a mere photographic stop; to reserve a sufficient range helps to understand their regional historical context.
Place indismissible
Théiers de Pu'er
Ancient trees, terraced gardens and village workshops illustrate the many ways of culture and transformation of the local dark tea. An early-in-the-day tour allows you to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
