Heshun, 和顺,Tengchong,腾冲

和顺古名阳温暾,因境内有一条小河绕村而过,更名“河顺”,后取“士和民顺”之意,雅化为和顺乡,现有人口6千余人。全镇住宅从东到西、环山而建,渐次递 升,绵延两三公里。一座座古刹、祠堂、明清古建疏疏落落围绕着这块小坝子。乡前一马平川,清溪绕村,垂柳拂岸,夏荷映日,金桂飘香,让人留连忘返.
















Heshun (和顺), the title of the township derives from a verse describing "the rising clouds that herald auspicious future and the gentle breeze that brings peace and harmony." Heshun is famous homeplace of overseas Chinese.
Everywhere in Heshun you can see simple and elegant memorial halls or archways, pavilion and marble balustrades.
