In the Jingmai Mountain of Lancang There is an ancient village called Nuogan The village is simple and quiet Each household makes a living by tea planting The whole village is not big Now there are less than 300 households left It's one of the well-preserved original ancient villages in China without commercialization, which is really rare The Jingmai Mountain where the village is located is also applying for intangible cultural heritage Liu Haoran's movie 'One Point Straight Home' was also filmed here. This village is really my favorite among all the ancient villages I have visited. I want to stay here for a month doing nothing I went there in mid-February The whole Jingmai Mountain was already full of flowers. Actually, it's most beautiful to go there in March and April At this time, you can also experience tea picking Finally, some practical information: How to get there: You can choose to drive or take a bus. The overall road condition of Jingmai Mountain is asphalt road, but there are many winding mountain roads and bends. Be careful of oncoming vehicles when turning. How to shoot: The day I went happened to be a rainy day, so the photos taken have a very special feel. The rain turned the eaves into a deep blue color. The main shooting location is on the main road when you enter Nuogan Ancient Village. You can also go to the roof of a local Dai family's house to shoot, which is also very photogenic. When shooting, be sure to pay attention to exposure, do not overexpose ◆How to edit photos: You can edit towards dark and blue tones, with the highlights leaning towards blue and the shadows leaning towards blue-green ◆How to play: It is recommended to control the duration of the visit to two days and one night On the first day, you can stay in the neighboring Wengji Ancient Village, and play in each village for an afternoon In Wengji Ancient Village, you can see the sea of clouds in the parking lot, and both the village gate and the village center are suitable for check-in. Remember to try the local corn wine and lemongrass grilled fish~

If you go to Pu'er without visiting Jingmai Mountain, you haven't really been to Pu'er. The road from Pu'er is long and bumpy, and I was worried that it wouldn't live up to the hype. However, I was immediately impressed by the natural scenery of Jingmai Mountain, from the sea of clouds to the sunset, and the cultural characteristics of the villages. Staying here for a few days, you can completely relax, drink tea, and eat barbecue. As a World Natural and Cultural Heritage Site, it is truly worth cherishing. Beautiful Jingmai Mountain, I will definitely come back to see you!

Jingmai Mountain was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site last year. After visiting, I have only one feeling: it was so worth it! But did anyone else have the same experience as me, not understanding the online guides before going and having a lot of questions? After reading this guide I made overnight on my way back, you won't be confused anymore. Q: Depart from Xishuangbanna or Pu'er? 130 km from Xishuangbanna downtown, no expressway, 3 hours 190 km from Pu'er downtown, expressway toll CNY 148, 3 hours Conclusion: The time is about the same. There is no expressway from Xishuangbanna, but you will pass through Menghai County and Mengzhe County, and the scenery along the way is quite good. There is an expressway and a national highway from Pu'er. Q: How to spend a day? (⚠️It is recommended to read this guide with the map in Picture 2) Round trip on the same day without overnight stay. Depart from Xishuangbanna or Pu'er at 7 or 8 am and arrive at noon. Follow the route of Jingmai Dazhai - Nuogan - Wengji - Mangjing - Manghong (from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain), and return after watching the sunset. 🚗Chartering a car or self-driving is the best way to visit Jingmai Mountain.

Jingmai Mountain⛰️ was listed as a World Heritage Site in 2023. It is the world's first tea culture world heritage site. In addition to the ancient tea 🍵 forest, there are clouds ☁️ in the morning and red clouds in the evening. There are also mysterious villages inhabited by ethnic minorities. Wake up to the sound of birds 🐦 in the forest and fall asleep with the stars. Feel the vibrant primitive life here. A place for the tired soul of the city to rest and wash away the taste of the city. I stayed in Pu'er for 5 days, and 3 days in Jingmai Mountain should still be a niche travel destination. There are also relatively few travel guides online. Here is a brief sharing of this itinerary for reference. Transportation 🚗: We chartered a car. It is not recommended to drive from Xishuangbanna. Most of the roads are mountain roads. There is a 20 km winding mountain road on the way up the mountain, which is a test of driving skills. Accommodation 🏠: Shishi Homestay. Wengji Ancient Village is relatively complete, and there are many homestays. Dining 🥩: There are many restaurants in the village. I ate at No. 40 and No. 55 restaurants, but I still think the homestay is the best. 🎈Day 1: Xishuangbanna - Wengji Ancient Village, the filming location of the movie "Coffee or Tea". We arrived in the afternoon and just wandered around Wengji Village that day. Time Tunnel: Drive through the road tunnel naturally formed by banyan trees. Wengji Temple: It is located across the road from the square and is the place where villagers hold ceremonies. Wengji Village Entrance Square: The village entrance square is a good place to watch the sunset, but the weather was not good when we went. Chunming Professional Grandma Milk Tea: Grandma is super cute and happy to chat with her. I also ate roasted sweet potatoes. 🎈Day 2: Nuogang Ancient Village - Ancient Tea Forest Nuogang Ancient Village: Nuogang is also called Nuogan. Compared with Wengji, Nuogang is more beautiful and retains more of its original appearance. The morning sun shines on the path between the houses, overlooking the rising smoke from the fire pit in the village. 🎈Thousand-year-old Ancient Tea Forest I took a leisurely walk with my friends in the thousand-year-old ancient tea forest 🌲. Feel the healing power of nature. It is not very far, about half an hour, but there is also a shuttle bus that can be taken from the entrance or waved at any time. Wander around Wengji Ancient Village. The hand-brewed coffee ☕ and perfume lemon Americano under the sacred tree are delicious. The owner of the coffee shop said that there are 91 households in the village, and the house numbers are not in order. Whoever builds the house first will be given a house number. After drinking coffee, I went to the village entrance square to watch the sunset 🌇 like a salted egg yolk. Day 3 Princess Banyan: The village gate of Mangjing Shangzhai looks like a princess dress. Queen Bee Tree: There are dozens of beehives hanging on the thousand-year-old tree. Big Banyan Tree: Liu Haoran's "Coffee or Tea" banyan tree. This tree is quite difficult to climb, anyway, I failed.

For a long stay, go to Jingmai Mountain. Jingmai Mountain seems to have a magical power that can calm your inner waves. Experience the wind blowing through the leaves in the mountains and forests, listen to ancient stories in the tea house, and walk through the alleys, quiet and peaceful. The beauty of the ancient village - Nuogan Ancient Village: A typical Dai village, the temple overlooks all living beings from a high place. Walking among them, the traditional Dai bamboo buildings are scattered, and a cup of roasted milk tea is ordered, and the milk and tea are blended together, warming the heart. - Wengji Ancient Village: The settlement of the Blang people, beside the ancient temple, the thousand-year-old cypress tree stands quietly, and the mini exhibition hall in the village is unique. - Mangjing Upper Village: The princess banyan tree is graceful and graceful, and it is an excellent background for taking pictures.

The octagonal pagoda and the tea ancestor temple are precipitated with tranquility and solemnity in the years. Special experience - National Costume Show: Put on the Blang costumes, transform into a mountain elf, leave a beautiful figure in the ancient village, and every photo is an intimate dialogue with Jingmai Mountain. - Hiking in the mountains and forests: Measure the land with your feet, shuttle through the ocean of ancient tea trees, watch the sunlight penetrate the branches and leaves, listen to the chirping of insects and birds, and feel the breath and heartbeat of nature. - Tea relationship and true feelings: Sit around the fire pit with enthusiastic villagers, drink a cup of fragrant tea, listen to them tell the story of tea, no need to worry about business routines, sincere communication brings the soul closer.

Jingmai Mountain's ancient villages are worth getting up early to visit. We first visited Nuogan Ancient Village. It was early and very quiet, and we could feel the life of the people living there. Then we went to Wengji, which was a different experience. Wengji is closer to the sea of clouds, and although it is more commercialized than Nuogan, both villages are worth visiting! In Jingmai Mountain, we experienced the culture of the local ethnic groups and the mystery of the ancient forest. We truly experienced life in the mountains, which was comfortable and relaxing! Here, we experienced the harmony and resonance between life and life

When it comes to Yunnan, most people think of Kunming's spring-like weather, Dali's Cangshan Mountain, Erhai Lake, and romantic scenery, Lijiang and Shangri-La's mystery, and Xishuangbanna's ethnic customs. When I came to Jingmai Mountain, famous for its Pu'er tea, I found a dozen villages built on the mountain, with layers of clouds outlining the mountains and pines. Multiple ethnic groups live in this hidden tea-scented forest... Due to its remote location in Yunnan, it has not been promoted or disturbed for many years. The local residents have preserved their lifestyle and customs, and it has not been over-commercialized... It is seriously underrated. I suggest you save this post and tag your friends.

There is a long winding gravel road, so drive safely. | Public transportation: Take a bus from Xishuangbanna Jinghong Bus Station to Lancang County Huimin Bus Station, then transfer to a rural bus to the entrance of Guzhai Village. | The village currently has enough facilities to meet travel needs, including inns, shops, restaurants, tea shops, and convenient parking.

Jingmai Mountain is really a niche place!! It was recommended by a friend nearby, but the weather was not very good when I came The sky ☁️ was a bit gray But the tea garden 🍵 and the morning 🌦️ were quite comfortable This architectural design was built to avoid affecting the local tea trees Going down the manor, you can go to the village to experience the local intangible cultural heritage There is a sense of silence away from the hustle and bustle - There are not many hotel rooms 🔎Yunge·Tea Field View It is the largest room type, on the top of the mountain, with a large room space, and you can see a whole tea garden 🍵 in the morning 🔎Yunyue·Light Luxury Suitable for children, there is also a bed 🛏️ on the roof. This room is triangular, and the outdoor view is not bad~ 🔎Yunchao·Qingshe Tree House This room is a bit crowded, it really looks like a nest 🪹, with three floors, a tea room on the first floor, a bedroom on the second floor, and a balcony on the third floor, but the space is not large, it can only be said to be more distinctive - Breakfast 🥣 Nine-square grid, plus a soup, I forgot what the soup was called - Overall, if you want to escape the world for a short time, you can consider it, but in my opinion, it is still relatively ordinary, except for the geographical location in an intangible cultural heritage village
