A Hidden Gem That I'm Afraid Will Become Too Popular!

This time, I explored an ancient village hidden away in a corner of time. Strictly speaking, it can't be considered a scenic spot yet. It hasn't been developed on a large scale, and it's rarely promoted, so you can hardly see any tourists on weekdays 🍂. This ancient village is surrounded by dense, tall trees. Unless you go deep into it, it's hard to appreciate its stunning scenery. Most of the houses in the village have been renovated in recent years, but hundreds of thick, tall, old tamarind trees 🌲 still create a strong historical atmosphere here. 🏘 Local residents still live a leisurely life here. At the pavilion at the entrance of the village, the elderly sit together and chat, full of the atmosphere of everyday life. Coming here doesn't feel like traveling, but more like visiting relatives and friends. This place is Leding Ancient Village in Chuxiong, Yunnan, a secret village that even people from other places know little about. It's niche❗️ beautiful❗️ and uncrowded❗️ ✅✅✅Recommended Features: 1. Hometown of Ancient Trees: The village is full of hundreds of thick old tamarind trees, most of which are over a hundred years old, and there is also a tamarind tree king with a history of 1,600 years. These ancient trees have different shapes and lush foliage. They complement the mottled houses, creating a peaceful and spiritual atmosphere. Tamarind trees are distributed next to houses, roads, and fields. Strolling through them, every step is a scene, which is very pleasant. 2.

The appearance of the villagers and the architectural style of the houses are very Dai, making people feel as if they have instantly traveled to Xishuangbanna. 3. 0 Commercialization and 0 Development: There are almost no commercial facilities and tourism promotion here. There is only one small shop in the entire village, retaining the most original and simple style. 4.
