It's a resting place for self-driving, the architecture is very distinctive, there is a wooden bridge coming out of the parking lot, there is a big windmill, and a gurgling stream by the roadside. As you enter the village, you will see a prosperous scene. It is one of the most crowded villages in the country, with coffee shops and snacks everywhere, people riding horses, shopping, making pottery pots, and even making their own tea. The village is not big, and an hour or two is enough to walk around it. I always took photos from angles where there was no one around. The business atmosphere is more serious. The village is free and parking is four yuan. Those who drive north and south can take a look.

| Not just an ancient town, but also mountains, streams, and wilderness. Anyone who travels to Puer will be recommended to visit Nakeli, and it is indeed a place worth visiting. The ancient town is small (the core area is much smaller than other ancient towns in Yunnan), but it is also large (there are mountains to climb, streams and green spaces to hike and camp). There are also chickens, ducks, and geese wandering around the town, which are very cute. However, most tourists only check in at the core area of the ancient town, have a cup of coffee, and leave, which is a bit of a waste. I hiked in the surrounding mountains for a long time before returning to the core area of the ancient town and chatted with the owner of the Deqing Mountain Coffee Shop. She said that most of the businesses in the town are run by locals. Most of them get off work on time, make some money, and go home early to drink. This is the spirit of Nakeli. Here are some interesting little places to share: Rotten Wood: On the edge of the ancient town, there is a large group of rotten wood, and people look very small inside. It is quite spectacular up close. I also found a wild chicken mother living with two chicks in the rotten wood group, which is very cute. Climbing the Mountain: Opposite the rotten wood group, across the stream, there is a mountain road. The mountain is full of large bamboo, and the color of the new bamboo is particularly beautiful, with a fresh dark green. The mountain is not high, and you can look out at the mountains from above, or look down at the large lawn below. I saw a family camping in the distance, with a white van parked on the green grassland, which is also a beautiful scenery. Stream: Along the direction next to the rotten wood group all the way up, there is a stream with clear water and trees blocking it. I ate the fruit and snacks brought out by the hotel by the stream, and this simple picnic with such a view is very pleasant. Kitten: The kitten outside the long pavilion often sits on the railing in a daze, looking like a clean and cute lucky cat from a distance. I passed by twice, and I couldn't help but touch it and tease it. After two minutes, the cat impatiently turned around and went back. It seemed to think I was childish. Outside the Ancient Town: Opposite the ancient town, there are streams, waterwheels, and stilted buildings, which are also worth visiting.

That mountain, that water, Nake Village A place where gods live An ancient village on the Tea Horse Road in Pu'er Nake Village is surrounded by mountains, with a small stream flowing by the village. Walking through the wind and rain bridge in the mist, you will find the well-preserved smooth stone ancient road. The old waterwheel is still turning, and the streets paved with bluestone slabs are still bustling. Walking in this mythical fairyland, you will feel as if you have returned to that mysterious and distant country.

Woke up early in the morning and went to the high-speed rail station. Found a train that was about to depart, so I changed my ticket and left early. Called the homestay owner on the train. The owner was very warm and considerate. We were originally scheduled to check in after 12:00 pm, but when the owner learned that we would arrive early, they immediately arranged for the room to be cleaned so we could check in early. After arriving in Pu'er, we put down our luggage and took a short break, then took a taxi to Nakeli Village. This is a great place to spend half a day or a day relaxing. It is not very commercialized, and is quiet and peaceful. It doesn't have the same style as other ancient towns. You can stroll around and find a small shop or courtyard to sit down in when you get tired. We didn't have any trouble getting a taxi back. We were lucky and got a taxi quickly. It cost more than CNY 30 one way, and less than CNY 70 for a round trip. If you're worried about getting a taxi back, you can book a ride-share or taxi in advance. Come to Pu'er and start a free and easy trip!

Visit Nakeli Town, an important stop on the Ancient Tea Horse Road! If you're tired of the crowds, come here to reminisce about the past, listen to the love songs of the horse caravans, and take a walk while sipping tea. You'll find yourself slowing down without even realizing it. "Na" means field, "ke" means bridge, and "li" means good in the Dai language. Together, they mean fertile land, small bridges and flowing water, and an ideal home. ​ ​The town has a high historical value, with well-preserved ruins of the Ancient Tea Horse Road/Nakeli section of the Ancient Tea Horse Road (county-level cultural relics protection), the century-old Rongfa Horse Inn, the Wind and Rain Bridge, and historical relics and artifacts such as horse lanterns and horse drinking troughs used by the horse caravans. It has a long history and a rich culture of the Ancient Tea Horse Road.

Nakelie Village is located in Tongxin Town, Ning'er Hani and Yi Autonomous County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province. It is 16 km from Ning'er County and 25 km from Pu'er City. Nakelie Village is an ancient post station on the Ancient Tea Horse Road. It is home to many ethnic groups, including the Hani, Yi, and Dai. The village has well-preserved historical sites, such as the Ancient Tea Horse Road. In recent years, Nakelie Village has received many honors, including National Civilized Village, National Ecological and Cultural Village, National Beautiful and Livable Village Demonstration, National Ethnic Unity Demonstration Village, and Yunnan Province Characteristic Town. In addition, the village is known as "a place that makes people nostalgic for their hometown." Nakelie Village has simple folk customs and hospitable villagers. Here, you can not only enjoy the beautiful natural scenery, but also experience the rich culture of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, watch song and dance performances by the villagers, taste traditional caravan dishes, and enjoy the fresh air and peaceful rural life.

Ancient Post Station on the Ancient Tea Horse Road in Ancient Pu'er Prefecture Nake Village is an important post station on the Ancient Tea Horse Road in Ancient Pu'er Prefecture and the birthplace of the song "Horse Caravan Love Song" that was sung on CCTV. It is located in the south of Ning'er County, 16 km from Ning'er County and 25 km from Pu'er City, with convenient transportation. The village has 66 households, with two small rivers winding and converging here. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a good ecological environment, and has a well-preserved site of the Ancient Tea Horse Road.

The only thousand-year-old post station is Na Ke Li, and the myriad flavors of the world are best represented by Pu'er tea. "Na Ke Li" is a Dai language term, meaning fertile land and picturesque scenery. According to the "Pu'er Prefecture Chronicles", during the Ming and Qing dynasties, Pu'er Prefecture was the starting point of five Tea-Horse Ancient Roads: the Northeast Guanma Avenue, the Northwest Guancang Tea-Horse Ancient Road, the Southeast Jianglai Tea-Horse Ancient Road, the Southwest Dry Season Tea-Horse Ancient Road, and the South Mengla Tea-Horse Ancient Road. Na Ke Li is the first station on the South Mengla Tea-Horse Ancient Road. The quaint town lacks the strong commercial atmosphere of Lijiang. Clear streams meander through the village, flowing past the doors of closely packed small shops. The Tea-Horse Ancient Road ruins, Horse Jumping Stone, Heart-Connecting Bridge... the air is filled with the fragrance of Pu'er tea and a strong sense of nostalgia. Walking along the bluestone road, searching for the faintly visible hoof prints, one can find the ancient Rongfa Horse Inn. The couplet at the entrance reads, "Who is the master beyond the mountains, we meet by chance and I host," full of the unrestrained and bold character of the horsemen. Inside the inn, there are stone water tanks, oil lamps, and stone chessboards, as if taking people back to the long years of neighing horses and ringing camel bells. As people age, they tend to prefer places with fewer people. Focusing on the sunrise and sunset, the blooming and withering of flowers, the rolling clouds, solitude becomes the ultimate destination.

The first stop in Puer, I chose Nake Li (a small village or ancient town) Nake Li is an important station on the ancient Tea Horse Road of the old Puer Prefecture and was once the 'first stop' for Puer tea heading to Southeast Asia. How did I discover such a niche attraction? Probably because I particularly like these ancient villages, ancient towns, and ancient forts. It is said to be very inconvenient to come from Puer city, so I rented a car and drove 20 kilometers through winding mountain roads to get here (you can navigate to 'Nake Li Tea Horse Station' or 'Nake Li Tea Horse Road', there is a large paid parking lot by the roadside at the village gate). It is not the peak tourist season now, and Nake Li is not a famous attraction, so this small village has very few tourists, and the shops are mostly closed. Overall, it takes about an hour to tour the ancient village, no tickets are needed, but there is a horse riding experience project in the village. If you ride a horse, it will take more than an hour and cost money. I admire the not-so-well-preserved Tea Horse Road ruins. It was amazing how people could transport goods through these mountain roads in ancient times. There are very few tourists here, making it perfect for slowing down. However, I might not have felt the caravan culture and Puer tea culture. Before leaving, I had a cup of Puer tea roasted milk, and I was very satisfied. The roasted milk had dried rose petals and red dates added, and the taste was really fragrant and sweet. This is the most recommended project, you must drink it when you come here! (Be careful of mosquitoes and insects, I still got bitten)

⛰【Attraction Guide】 📍Detailed Address: Ning'er County, Puer City, Yunnan 🚗Transportation Strategy: 🕙Opening Hours: All day 💰Ticket Price: Free 🌟Highlights: Na Ke Li, originally named 'Ma Ku Li'. Legend has it that no matter whether coming down from Mohei Peacock Terrace via the Yi route or coming up from Simao, all horse caravans that entered the capital via the official road had to rest overnight at the 'Rongfa Horse Inn' in Na Ke Li. The caravans entering or leaving the 'Rongfa Horse Inn' had to wade through a small river in front of the inn. The tired or sleepy horses, facing the cool river water, would shed sad tears, hence the name 'Ma Ku Li'. The horse caravan leader, who valued horses as life, petitioned the government several times, and the government fulfilled his wish by building a 20-plus meter long, five-bay 'Wind and Rain Bridge'. Since then, 'Ma Ku Li' was renamed 'Na Ke Li' 📌Little Tips: Quite suitable for relaxing

| Enviable Slow Life in Pu'er·Nakeli!. In Pu'er, I unexpectedly encountered a town just like the one from 'The Place with the Wind'. Escaping the hustle and bustle of the city, I seemed to have entered a secluded and peaceful world. On my trip to Pu'er, I didn't choose the commercially vibrant 'Tea Horse Ancient City', but instead, I opted for the lesser-known yet charming Tea Horse Ancient Town—Nakeli. Looking up, there's the cloudless blue sky; beneath my feet, the stone-paved alleys steeped in history; on both sides, courtyards blooming with flowers, everything is so peaceful and beautiful. The villagers here are simple and enthusiastic, their pace of life is leisurely and comfortable, as if time itself slows down here. This town is about 25 kilometers from the downtown area of Pu'er, roughly a 30-minute drive. You can stroll around leisurely for an hour here, feeling that unique tranquility and harmony. If you get tired, why not find a restaurant that serves caravan cuisine and taste the local delicacies? The flavor will definitely satisfy you. After the meal, you can also find a tea house or coffee shop, sit down for a tea or coffee, and enjoy some leisure time. Basking in the sun, chatting, or daydreaming here is so pleasant and comfortable. If you also want to experience this kind of 'aspired life', I recommend you check in at these shops: Yunlai Sheng Courtyard, Changting Wai Courtyard, and Deep Mountain Coffee House. I believe you will fall in love with this beautiful town and find your own peace and happiness. Nakeli

|Come to this healing niche ancient town and enjoy slow-cooking life~. When visiting Pu’er, don’t miss Nakori Town The town is not big, but it is good for taking pictures of the Queen I can play here for most of the day It takes more than half an hour to take a taxi from Pu'er city to Nakeli. The small winding mountain road has slightly highlighted the beautiful scenery. When we got there, Keli was even more eye-catching. Keep walking along the stone road Many coffee/tea shops The interiors are exquisite and simple The soft decoration copywriting also captures people's hearts Go wild~ It can always make urbanites forget their worries as quickly as possible

It takes about 30 minutes by car from the Pu'er city area to reach Nakeli tea-horse ancient town. The town is not large, and it has the early charm of Lijiang ancient city without being commercialized. The town is mainly populated by locals selling tea. There is one particularly large shop where you can experience tea making on-site, as well as taste the tea. The owner is very hospitable; whether you buy anything or not, you can sit down and enjoy a tea tasting. According to the owner, all the tea is grown by his family, with good quality and reasonable prices. In addition to tea, there are also several coffee experience halls, all offering a pleasant experience. We arrived around 11 a.m. and played for about two hours, not having enough time to see everything. If you have more time, you can stroll around the town at leisure, experiencing the blend of Eastern and Western cultures through tea and coffee.

How to satisfy the contemporary yearning for a pastoral slow life? If you are in Yunnan Pu'er, I would tell you the answer lies in Naka Li. 'Naka Li' is a transliteration from the Dai language, meaning 'small bridges, flowing water, and a bountiful land.' It is an important post on the Ancient Tea Horse Road, bustling with activity from the past to the present. In this town, there is a hidden plant dyeing workshop—Qianshan Dye. The master of the workshop is knowledgeable about the past and present, integrating various techniques to create intricate and exquisite works of art. The master uses different plants from the four seasons, combined with techniques such as rubbing or immersion dyeing, to capture spring, summer, autumn, and winter on these pieces of fabric. Taking away a small item is like forever preserving the mystery of this utopian paradise. The dyeing workshop's cute dog, Qianshan Dye workshop, indigo dyeing, batik, snail pattern batik, indigo root and green persimmon set dyeing, patchwork embroidery, persimmon dyeing (wild persimmons), onion dyeing, camellia wax dyeing, rose rubbing dyeing And many more plant-dyed trinkets are waiting for you to discover them personally Finally, thank you to the enthusiastic reception of the Qianshan Dye workshop owner

| Pu'er·Nakeli. If you say you're traveling to Yunnan and you're already tired of the hustle and bustle of Xishuangbanna the noise of the ancient city of Dali and have seen enough of the tourist flood in Lijiang then come and have a look at Pu'er! This place is worth your lingering visits and it's not just about Pu'er tea and dried beef. Nakeli was once an important post station on the ancient Tea Horse Road, a necessary path for the horse caravans traveling between Simao and the official road to Beijing. For hundreds of years, this place has preserved very intact ancient village architecture, and the old horse road still looks the same as it did hundreds of years ago. Due to its remote location, there are very few tourists who come here, but the rich products, the famous caravan cuisine, and the profound historical and cultural atmosphere are also worth spending a day here. Visiting time: About half a day, it's nice to go to the village in the morning to see the morning mist. It's more comfortable to leave after lunch. Location: Nakeli Village, Tongxin Town, Ning'er County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province Transportation: It's a 30-minute drive from the downtown area of Pu'er, convenient by self-driving or taxi, but remember not to take the highway as there is no exit, just go directly on the G213 national road, it's ok Ticket: 0 yuan, free

Pu'er [Nakeli Ancient Town] is an important post station on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, a small, beautiful and quaint village. It is an ancient village where many ethnic groups live together, including the Yi, Hani, and Dai. "Nakeli" means: fertile land, good harvest every year, an ideal place to live. Walking slowly on the bluestone road of Nakoli, you will see gurgling water, winding ancient roads, and trees covering the sky. The village is nestled in the mountains and beside the water, and the ecological environment is very good. The village retains historical relics such as the ruins of the ancient Tea-Horse Road, the horse lamps used by the horse caravans at that time, and the stone troughs for horses to drink water. Address: Nakoli Village, Tongxin Town, Ning'er County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province Tickets: Free Transportation: It is a 30-minute drive from downtown Pu'er. It is very convenient to drive or take a taxi, but remember to take the G213 National Road, and never take the expressway (the expressway cannot get you to Nakeli Ancient Town) Food and Beverage: I recommend the Na Keli Ma Bang cuisine in Qiaotou. There are many wild vegetables that I have never seen before. There is a dish of stinky vegetable fried eggs, which really smells stinky but tastes delicious.

|This is the niche destination in my mind, the experience is perfect. A small town that you pass by on the way to Xishuangbanna, but it is much more fun than Xishuangbanna!√ Not many tourists√ Full of fireworks√ Experience the life of a small border town like a local 1️⃣Nakeli: It is a bit far from the city, and it takes more than 30 minutes to drive. The ancient town is not big and commercialization is very low. You can find a teahouse or Mabang cuisine and experience the slow life of Pu'er here. There were no merchants shouting, and everyone was very calm! I saw online that the nearby [Damenzhai] was a good place to eat. I followed the navigation and drove a very difficult mountain road. I finally found it, but the pizza I wanted to eat the most was not available. It seemed that there were only snacks and drinks. I suggest you call and ask before going, so as not to go in vain! 2️⃣ Coffee Manor: I went to two. The first one [Plum Coffee Processing Factory] was more suitable for taking pictures. The hand-brewed 38 was not particularly amazing, and there were no projects to experience here. The second one, [Wild Duck Pond Valley Manor], has an average environment, but the experience is great and it is suitable for friends who are interested in coffee culture. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

There is no entrance fee to the Ancient Tea Horse Road Scenic Area! There is a combo ticket that includes the battery car, the "Ma Gang Love Song" water dance show, the rainbow cable car, and the museum ticket. We chose the combo ticket because we were traveling with our children. Water dance show performance time: 11:00-11:30 15:00-15:30 Tour route: Take the tour bus at position ① to Dingbo Lake ② to watch the water dance show. After watching, cross the floating bridge to the animal feeding point ③, where there are alpacas and deer. Then take the rainbow cable car ④ to the top of the mountain. The cable car lasts 13 minutes and 14 seconds, which is a very romantic setting! After getting off the cable car, you will see the No. 5 Caravan Museum and the Tang Tea House. At the back door of the Tang Tea House is the Jieyi Forest, where the Ancient Tea-Horse Road is! There is a newly built stone staircase road running parallel to the ancient Tea-Horse Road. We chose to walk down the mountain along the ancient road. Going up the mountain, we walked out of the scenic area and reached Nakoli. The whole journey is 17 kilometers! The ancient path down the mountain is not long. It leads to Huiwang Pavilion, which is the last place where the caravan can see their hometown before they set out. Then they will cross the mountain. They will have their last hometown meal and drink their last bowl of hometown tea here. Then the next section is the suspension bridge and the land temple, and then the forest plank road, which is full of stairs. After going down the steps, take the No. 7 electric car to the No. 8 Tea-Horse Market, where there is the Tribute Tea Courtyard and the Former Residence of Ma Guotou. From here, walk down the stone steps and there is a forest slide, but we didn’t take it. We continued to walk down the mountain and took the electric car to the No. 9 position to be taken to the scenic area service station, where we can get a taxi! Hiking route without tickets: The hiking route is to walk from position 1 to position 9, and then climb up the mountain along the black Tea-Horse Ancient Road hiking route. This section of the Tea-Horse Ancient Road is 4 kilometers long. People with good physical strength can try it. Walk the caravan route again to Jieyi Forest, and then walk up to walk out of the scenic area. You can touch the Nakeli Tea-Horse Ancient Road all the way.

Ten years later, returning to Nako Li, one can't help but exclaim, 'Such a huge change!' Gold will always shine! Pu'er has two main pillars: tourism and tea. Nako Li is part of the ancient Tea Horse Road and represents an opportunity for rural revitalization. Thus, today's Nako Li is inseparable from the government's attention, with bank poverty alleviation and assistance projects proving to be quite successful, attracting crowds of tourists. Nako Li, this time it's just a pass-through, but I will come back, for I have beautiful memories here!

Sharing my little travel itinerary Nakeli Ancient Town is the least commercialized ancient town I've ever visited You can buy everything there, olive honey for 15 yuan a bottle I took a taxi there, the journey is a bit long The driver might say that he needs to charge more (the reason being that it's hard to find passengers for the return trip) But actually, it's not necessary, because there are always many people during the day You can refuse the extra charge - Local specialties, like the sour and spicy chicken feet, don't need to be bought at the store Ordering takeout is super convenient - Pay attention to the business hours of Yang's Puer Sour and Spicy Rice Noodles They close in the afternoon (you can also order takeout) No need to make the trip, the delivery won't spoil, and overall it's pretty good - Shen's Stinky Tofu always has a long queue It feels like it's better to go there ahead of the mealtime rush - May 1st Farmers' Market When I went there, it felt just like a vegetable market, Since I don't live there, there wasn't much for me to buy However, if you walk to the left of the market, there's a beef shop They have their special dried beef It's very fragrant when stir-fried in the shop! I bought some to take home! It's much cheaper than in Xishuangbanna, definitely worth a try - I regret not allocating more time for Puer in my itinerary I really like this city

🌸 Travel Date: 2024.03.17 Yunnan has many charming towns, and Nakeli is one of them. Originally named Makuli, it got its name because there was a stream in front of the horse inn where the horses rested, and it was a tough crossing for them. Nakeli was an important post station on the ancient Tea Horse Road of the Pu'er Prefecture. The village is small, quaint, and quiet. 🌸 What to do in Nakeli?
