Top Things to Do in Yunlong 2021

"Nuo-Deng, the ancient village of the Qianbai nationality in this year, is famous for its ham. Starting from Lidong, every family in Nuodeng village began to cure ham. The curing process is very simple. Sprinkle salt evenly on the ham and rub it repeatedly, put it in the workshop and marinate for 30 days and then hang it to air dry. The ham that is more than 3 years old can be eaten raw. This is also the only ham that can be eaten raw in China. The value of "salt" is high. The salt came from the salt wells in Nuodeng for nearly two thousand years. It uses the oldest method to get the brine and boil the salt. "The Bite of China" also explains this in detail. I drove five hours from Dali, it was a small village in the real mountains, it was very quiet."

"Yunlong "Tai Chi Tu" (also known as: Yunlong Tai Chi), because the water of the Banjiang River detours an "S"-shaped Dawanzi here, forming a natural geomorphic wonder similar to the Taoist "Tai Chi Tu". To the east of this natural Tai Chi picture, there is the Nuodeng River, which the ancients called "Tai Chi Locking Water"."

"The ruins of the ancient salt well are in the ancient village of Nuodeng. There are people who make salt for free. You can visit the whole process of making salt for free. Now you don’t need that salt. Because Nuodeng’s salt is not iodized salt, it is generally used by locals for pickling. Used to make ham and bacon, but there are some for sale!"

"Baofeng Ancient Town in Yunlong County is one of the birthplaces of ancient Yunlong ancestors. It is located in the county seat of Yunlong County, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan. It was once the seat of Yunlong Prefecture in the Qing Dynasty. Like the ancient city of Lijiang, Baofeng Ancient Town in Dali is also an old city with a long history. The houses in Baofeng are all typical Bai folk house styles, or three squares and one zhaobi, or four in five patios, or one front and one ear, or six contracts in spring. Some are tall and majestic, and some are small and exquisite. They are located in the lower reaches of the Minjiang River, a tributary of the Lancang River. The terrain is high in the north and low in the south. It is a long and narrow shape along the Minjiang River. "Water wrapped in water" is an alpine mountainous area with continuous mountains and deep canyons. The Bai people live in clusters along the Tanjiang River. Baofeng is a small town with a long history. The tourism here is mainly cultural and historical sites. The main attractions are Baiyi Pavilion, Daluo Horse Post Pavilion (Chating Temple), Fulong Temple, Xiufeng Tower and so on. There are many Baofeng temples, including Sanchong Temple, Xuanzhen Temple, Baiyi Pavilion, Sanqing Temple, Fulong Temple, Taihe Temple, Confucian Temple, Wenchang Palace, Chating Temple, Gaoshan Temple, Xiaojizu and so on.

"The ancient buildings of Yuhuang Pavilion, starting from this gate, every building is primitive and magnificent~ In ancient times, it was a famous Taoist temple. In the compound, there are plum trees, cuibai, crape myrtle, and golden osmanthus from the Ming Dynasty. The existing painting "Twenty-Eight Constellations" on the top of the main hall can be called "Nuo Deng Yi Jue", which has certain reference value in the study of ancient Chinese cosmology, astronomy, art, and architecture. According to Sister Hua, the four pillars were all made of an old tree. Originally there was a beautiful and gorgeous Panlong on each of them, which was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. Now only the wedge holes left on the pillars can be seen. During the Anti-Japanese War, some flying tiger crew members crashed here and took pictures of the original appearance of the Jade Emperor Pavilion. I hope that the old photos can be found and cannot be restored. It is also good to show them here. Let us worship the wisdom of the ancients. The quiet room at the back has been abandoned, the Jade Emperor Pavilion is under repair, and the tourist public toilet is being repaired at the entrance. It is estimated that the days when it is enclosed for a fee to visit is just around the corner."
