Nujiang
Nujiang is really so beautiful! The people of Nujiang are really so kind! Everyone should take a trip to Nujiang!
Most of the information online is about self-driving tours to Nujiang, but our itinerary includes Deqin and Shangri-La, which might have uncertain road conditions and we were worried about traffic jams, so we chose public transportation. The Aru Laka trek allows you to see the Gaoligong Mountains and Biluo Snow Mountain, and you can enter the primitive forests with thick snow, where you can see alpine pastures. Our guide, Brother A Luo, was very responsible, explaining various plants along the way, highly recommended!
During the trek to Wuli Village, we saw a small path that led down to the banks of the Nujiang River, where we could feel the surging waters up close, which was very impressive. There are many rocks to climb along the riverbank, so be careful and don't go too close to the river, safety first.
We took a local's ride-sharing car on the Deqin Highway to Deqin, and saw the stunning snow scenery along the way, but the road conditions are variable, so if you're driving yourself, be sure to prepare anti-skid chains and have enough experience driving on icy roads and in snow. Our driver was also super nice!
When we were desperate to find food in Bingzhongluo, a sister by the roadside recommended Yunnan Jianjiang, which has a great environment. On the third floor rooftop, you can see the reflection of the Nujiang River and snow mountains while drinking coffee. The food is delicious and the prices are reasonable, highly recommended! They also offer accommodation, and I definitely want to stay there next time I go to Bingzhongluo.
The most attractive thing about Bingzhong Luo Wuli Village is the light hiking route here, and the beginning of the ancient tea-horse road built between the cliffs is the essence of the essence. Walking on the ancient tea-horse road by the Nu River, the admiration for the ancients came into being, relying entirely on manpower and original tools, it is not easy to repair such a long road. Under the blue sky and white clouds, accompanied by the endless Nu River, walking in the arms of the surrounding mountains is really enjoyable! Now it seems that there is another way to enter the village, but it is a pity not to take this ancient tea-horse road!
This is the starting point of the "light hiking route" in Bingzhong Luowuli Village, and it is also the only way to enter Wuli Village through the ancient tea-horse road. When you walk past the suspension bridge on the Nu River, you will find that there are actually four bridges here. The earliest suspension bridge is at the lowest position and has been dilapidated. The second suspension bridge is built directly above it. It looks relatively complete, but it has been closed and disabled. The third is the suspension bridge that is now used, which is much larger and wider than the original two, and the piers on both sides of the Straits are more than twice as tall as the original. The fourth is the reinforced cement large-span arch bridge on the left, which can pass large and small cars, connecting the national highways on both sides of the Straits. Watching these four bridges, you can see the development of the Nujiang Grand Canyon for so many years, the motherland is becoming stronger, and the Nujiang River is changing rapidly!
It is worth going; it is like a fairyland, especially after the rain and the morning, the mountains are surrounded by clouds and mist, and the smoke rises in the village; the local villagers are simple, and an inn in the village is backed by the mountains and the streams of ice and snow melt in front of it, entertaining explorers who enter Tibet. Sorry, the picture was wrong, the first 4 were Bingzhongluo, and the last 3 were Wuli Village.
Wuli Village, a primitive village in Bingzhongluo Town, is located on the Nu River.
The environment is first-class, picturesque and convenient. It is a good place to take pictures for vacation and leisure.
