Yunnan Lancang County Bulang Ancient Village, Wengji Ancient Village (lesser-known free attraction)

📍Attraction Address: Wengji Thousand-Year Bulang Ancient Village, Mangjing Village, Huimin Town, Lancang County, 73 kilometers from the county seat, 28 kilometers from the town government. 🚗Transportation: We drove there ourselves. 👍️Must-visit Attraction: Wengji Bulang Ancient Village has a long history, with well-preserved and inherited Bulang ecological culture, rich primitive features, beautiful natural scenery, and prominent ethnic characteristics. It is known as the 'Thousand-Year Bulang Ancient Village.' The ancient village has attractions such as ancient villages, temples, village gates, village centers, ancient cypress trees, and other scenic spots. It is a tourist village mainly focused on developing Bulang cultural tourism. The academic community recognizes that the Bulang people are one of the earliest tea-growing ethnic groups in Yunnan. The 'Guangnan County Chronicle' records: In the 5th century BC, the Juting Kingdom was formed by tribes mainly consisting of Liao and Pu. During the Sui and Tang dynasties (589-907 AD), the Puzi Man were distributed in Jingdong, Baoshan, Yunlong, and other places, as well as along the Lancang River. In the early Ming Dynasty, the Bulang people became the main ethnic group in Fengqing County. During the Qing Dynasty, the Bulang people gradually migrated southward to places like Shunning and Qingdian. The areas where these Bulang people once lived left large areas of tea fields, becoming the main tea-producing regions in Yunnan. Therefore, it is well-deserved to say that the Bulang people are thousand-year-old tea farmers. 🎟️Ticket Information: No reservation needed, no tickets required. 💗Other Tips: A very lesser-known attraction.

Treasure Village Share | The super healing primitive village in Yunnan

I've been back from Pu'er for almost two months now, and I recommend this place to everyone I meet. - You ask if there's anything fun? It doesn't seem like it. It's just eating and drinking, watching the villagers do farm work every day, learning some local songs, and listening to them chat in their language. Although I can't understand a thing, it doesn't stop me from laughing along with them. These seemingly insignificant moments are all so healing✨ - 📸Healing Moments Photo 3️⃣ There's actually coffee here! Who understands the happiness of a coffee aficionado! Photo 5️⃣ Question: Auntie, can I take a photo at your stall? Answer: Sure, you can help me watch it for a while, I need to go home ¥&%* (I don't understand) Photo 7️⃣ A kitten with a tail bigger than a squirrel's🐱 I played with it for a long time using a stick as a cat toy~ 🔍 Pu'er City, Yunnan Province · Wengji Bulang Ethnic Ancient Village ⚠️ Not suitable for first-time visitors to Yunnan‼️ There are no mature facilities here, the dining and accommodation conditions are not very good, and there are no popular check-in spots. ✈️Transportation👉🏻Plane + Car. Flights from all over the country to Xishuangbanna, Pu'er (fewer flights), then about 3 hours by car. If departing from within Yunnan Province, you can choose a combination of high-speed train + car. - I am a middle-aged girl who has lived in Yunnan for 8 years, an unemployed documentary photographer. Recently, I have been continuously organizing and updating some of Yunnan's lesser-known ancient villages and towns, interested friends can go to my homepage to see the collection～♥️

Jingmai Mountain | Wengji Ancient Village

❥ Wengji Ancient Village, an ancient village of the Blang people, is regarded as a microcosm of the Blang ethnic group. It is celebrated as the 'Millennium Blang Ancient Village' because it has preserved the Blang's original ecological culture and historical heritage. The village boasts beautiful natural scenery and prominent ethnic cultural features. ❥ The Blang people are one of the earliest ancestors in China and one of the oldest indigenous residents in Yunnan history. Their ancestors, the ancient Pu people, were among the first in the world to discover and utilize wild tea leaves and were also among the first in Yunnan to cultivate and plant tea. Today, they still rely on tea planting and production for their livelihood and are known as 'ancient tea farmers'. ❥ Entering the village, it seems that every household has tea leaves in front of their doors. Tea is their main source of economic income. Besides drinking, it is also used for cooking and even as a common herbal medicine by locals. The roofs of the houses in the village are decorated with patterns of one bud and two leaves, representing the totem of the Blang people. Walking down from the ancient temple, there are many tea shops on both sides of the road. No matter which tea shop you go to, the owner will warmly invite you in for tea. The sign 'Free Tea Tasting' can be seen everywhere in the village, and almost every household has a tea pavilion to entertain tea merchants and tourists from all over. ❥ The architectural style of Wengji Ancient Village is not much different from that of Nuogan Ancient Village, with the same dry-column structure, mostly two-story buildings with the ground floor elevated. The sloping roofs are covered with traditional hanging tiles. However, because Wengji has developed tourism earlier, most of the ground floors of the houses are used as shops. The roads in the village are paved with stone slabs, extending in all directions. Although there are chickens and ducks around, it is cleaner and less dusty. The Blang people prefer bright colors, and their clothing and decorations are colorful and pleasing to the eye. ❥ The Blang people believe in Theravada Buddhism, and the ancient temples are places where Theravada Buddhism is taught. The temples, with their stone-built bases, wide eaves, and broad ridges, the city towers with black tiles and red walls, and the red stone Qilin facing angrily to both sides, serve as both a sanctuary for the residents and a meeting room for the clan. They believe that all things have spirits, such as the spirit of the mountains, trees, rivers, etc. Therefore, the Blang people have a rich variety of sacrificial activities. ❥ Wengji Ancient Village is located at the northern end of Jingmai Mountain, at an altitude of about 1350 meters. Situated on high ground, the village offers views of the sea of clouds and other villages such as Mangjing Upper Village, Mangjing Lower Village, and Manghong. When we arrived, it was the beginning of the temperature drop on Jingmai Mountain, and it was near evening. It didn't feel cold in the car, but once we reached the village, we realized how cold it was and the wind was strong, which made us give up our plan to have dinner in Wengji Ancient Village. We took a quick tour around the village and left in a hurry. Currently, the accommodations and dining on Jingmai Mountain are mainly concentrated in Wengji, with relatively complete facilities and not highly commercialized. ➠Geographic location: Located in Jingmai Village, Huimin Township, Lancang Lahu Autonomous County, Pu'er, Yunnan.
