Hidden Peaceful Place | Yunnan Nuogan Ancient Village

| Yunnan Nuogan Ancient Village. If one day, your life is eroded by the hustle and bustle of the city. Would you be willing to seek the strength of the distant mountains? Experience the ecological culture of the ancient village. Take advantage of the fact that Nuogan, this unpopular ancient village, has not yet become popular, and feel its original charm. Travel Guide Nuogan Ancient Village Highlights: 1. The ancient village is currently free to visit, but with the successful application of Jingmai Mountain for World Heritage status, it may be turned into a paid scenic spot in the future, so be sure to visit as soon as possible. The current Nuogan and Wengji villages retain a good original ecology, without being overdeveloped, this simple feeling is precious. 2. The original and simple old village is located among the ancient tea gardens, and the village is surrounded by ancient tea gardens. Most families in the village make a living by planting tea. They have been planting tea for generations, simple and kind. 3. The architectural style of the houses is unique, mainly traditional earth-wood structures, with strong local characteristics. Among them, the traditional residences in the heart of the village are well preserved and are a good place for tourists to understand the local Dai culture. Climbing up to the viewing platform halfway up the mountain to overlook the entire village is very beautiful and photogenic. Perhaps only by flying a drone in Wengji can you see a good bird's eye view. In Nuogan, you can have a good view from the viewing platform or the temple in the village. Traffic conditions: The whole journey is very good, a short section of the highway was taken at the beginning, and the national highway is also OK after getting off the highway. After entering the gate of Jingmai Mountain, the road is paved with stones. Although it is a bit like a washboard, there are no pits on the road. After a long drive, your hands may feel a bit numb, but everything else is fine. Accommodation recommendation: Inside the ancient village, there are not many homestays and inns. Jingmai Dazhai and Wengji Ancient Village have more accommodation options. We chose to stay in Wengji, and the two villages are only a few kilometers apart by car. Food recommendation: In Nuogan Ancient Village, there are local restaurants opened by villagers, but we did not dine in the ancient village, so we cannot recommend specific restaurants. However, we drank local roasted milk tea in the ancient village, which is very mellow and rich. You must try it. You can also participate in roasting milk tea yourself, which is a great experience. Watching the sea of clouds: On the way up the mountain, you will see a viewing platform. We watched the sunrise over the sea of clouds here. The sunrise was at 8:00 that day, and we set off from the village at seven, and waited for half an hour when we arrived. Judging by the journey, it is almost half an hour ahead of departure from Nuogan. There are other places to watch the sea of clouds (Dajinta), according to the owner of the homestay, Dajinta can only see the sea of clouds, not the sunrise. We are not sure whether we can see it or not, because we did not go to Dajinta.
