Yunnan's most unforgettable ancient village - Nujiang Loguqing

Are there any friends like me who don't want to go to tourist spots that are too commercial and just for checking in and taking photos, but prefer to delve into some ancient villages hidden in the deep mountains, to encounter those secluded sceneries, and to feel the local cultural atmosphere🎈 . 🏔Then you must come to Yunnan, to this niche village that 90% of tourists will miss — Nujiang Loguqing. . ■Here lives the most mysterious ethnic minority in Yunnan — the Pumi people, who call themselves descendants of the White Wolf, a tribe that once followed Genghis Khan to conquer the world, and eventually migrated to the deep valleys of the Nu River in Yunnan to avoid war chaos. ■With red mud as walls and stacked wood as tiles, the traditional wooden shingle houses are layered along the mountain, with smoke curling up, more like the final scene of a movie, where the tranquility long lost to the outside world still exists. . 🌳Besides the utopian-like scenery, you will also be touched by the local simple life and culture. ✅The villagers are simple and honest, and during festivals or celebrations, no matter whether they know you or not, they will invite you to eat, with free-range pigs, sheep, chickens, and cured meat that will really make your mouth water😋 ✅The Pumi people judge the corn🌽 harvest by looking at the trees, and when the season comes, every household is a golden expanse, the villagers gather to break corn and chat about family affairs, and you can also go under the trees to pick walnuts😝 and wild fruits to eat. 💥In the evening, the Pumi girls and boys will dress up in their finest, with blue and white skirts swaying, dancing around the bonfire, free and unrestrained. . 🐏Behind the village, there are large meadows full of wildflowers, with herds of cattle and sheep, surrounded by verdant spruce trees, and small wooden houses standing in the distance, really giving you the impulse to want to retreat here forever! . 📍Tips The Dragon Boat Festival is the biggest annual festival for the Pumi people, with singing and dancing performances all day on the meadows, so don't miss out if you love lively events. . 👬There is also an off-the-beaten-path hiking route in Northwest Yunnan, where you can see primitive forests, high mountain Danxia, meadows of flowers🌸, etc., with altitudes suitable for beginners to challenge. . 🚗Self-drive navigation location: Nujiang Lanping Loguqing ⌚️Departing from Lijiang or Dali, half highway + half national road, it takes about 2.5h to arrive. 💰In addition to self-driving, you can also choose to share a business car, with both Lijiang and Dali costing about 100/person. . 🏡In the Loguqing village, there is a homestay opened in the villagers' homes — Nujiang·Shujia Wuxiang, with 30 rooms scattered in the local Pumi people's wooden shingle courtyards, with green mountains, streams, fields, and forests just outside the window. Here, it is truly a vacation away from the world's affairs.
