A lesser-known travel destination in Yunnan, a village with a history of over a thousand years
Nuogan Ancient Village, this Dai minority ancient village has a history of over a thousand years, not many people know about it, and even fewer have visited.
-
Just left, and I'm already missing it.
-
I especially like the village in the morning and evening, the air seems to carry the fragrance of tea leaves, with the occasional bark of a dog, it feels like my heart has been cleansed.
-
The environment here is beautiful, with good ecology. Surrounded by mountains, there is an open basin in the middle, the 'Nuogan' in the village name means 'pond' in the ethnic language, and 'gan' means 'deer', so Nuogan means a place where deer come to drink.
-
Ancient tea trees are scattered around Nuogan Ancient Village, and within the village, there are scattered ancient dwellings and temples, preserving a relatively complete Dai culture and the original ancient village appearance.
-
The Dai people here have been living with tea for generations, forming a unique and ancient Dai culture.
-
A village that you don't want to leave once you arrive, existing like a peaceful haven, quiet, comfortable, and cozy.
