Nujiang Grand Canyon

Nujiang Grand Canyon The canyon is known as the last piece of pure land in Yunnan. Why do so few people go there?

I spent more than ten days in Nujiang at the end of 2017. The scenery there is beautiful, the folk customs are simple, and the ethnic customs are much better than those in Dali and Lijiang. But why are so few people traveling there? Tell me what you think. /2934349b033b5bb50b3a9d7d3ad3d539b700bc40?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

1. Inconvenient transportation

Inconvenient transportation is the main factor. It is said that to get rich, you must first build roads, so the GDP of Nujiang is basically ranked at the bottom of Yunnan (no derogatory meaning, my personal salary level often holds back large groups, such as where The city is holding back, holding back peers, and holding back graduate institutions.) /d000baa1cd11728b75e431a1c4fcc3cec2fd2c63?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

Nujiang

Nujiang has no airport, no highway, and no train. Except for the good condition of the road from Kunming to Liuku, the roads in Nujiang Prefecture are in worrying condition and are narrow. During the rainy season, landslides, rockfalls, and mudslides often occur, making accidents easy to occur. /738b4710b912c8fcf63a4b4ef0039245d7882163?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

Nujiang River

With such road conditions, tour groups will definitely not come Yes, those who can join a group are either old people who have retired and come out to enjoy life, or they are a family trying to save effort and convenience, or they are young people with little travel experience. If these people were brought to Nujiang, the tour guide would probably not be able to return. /d31b0ef41bd5ad6e9cced8698dcb39dbb6fd3c79?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

Nujiang

So Nujiang attracts either self-driving or Backpackers are also tourists who like niche routes, because ordinary tourists will prefer to go to Kunming, Dali, Lijiang Shangri-La, or Xishuangbanna, Pu'er, Yuanyang, Puzhehei, etc. After all, these places are more famous.

Remarks: The section from Liuku to Gongshan in Nujiang Prefecture is under construction, with frequent stop-and-go traffic, and is closed to traffic from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. /a044ad345982b2b70abe85473dadcbef76099b14?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

2. The geographical location is remote and far away

Nujiang is a Yunnan Autonomous Prefecture that is often overlooked. Many people have not even heard of Nujiang because of its remote and far location in northwest Yunnan, at the junction of China, Myanmar, Yunnan and Tibet. at. + It takes more than ten hours to drive from Liuku to major scenic spots. It takes more than ten hours to get to Dulongjiang and more than nine hours to Bingzhongluo. /b90e7bec54e736d1c2fe318b97504fc2d4626940?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

The first bay of Nujiang River

Especially now from Liuku to Gongshan County Roads are being built along the Nujiang River, and there are frequent stop-and-go traffic jams. It can take 13 or 14 hours from Liuku to Bingzhongluo, which deters many tourists.

3. Incomplete supporting facilities

< p>The tourist attractions in Nujiang are relatively primitive and are in a state of being developed or just developed. The facilities are not yet perfect, and the conditions for food, clothing, housing and transportation are relatively difficult. There are no shuttle buses, no shopping streets, no shopping stores, no bar streets, and no entertainment. It is quiet at night, and you can only hear the sounds of nature, such as the croaking of frogs and the barking of dogs. Tourists who like to enjoy themselves will not come. Moreover, tourism is mostly self-service, which also makes many dependent tourists afraid to come. /ac4bd11373f08202015b2cbc47fbfbedaa641b63?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

Nujiang Tourism Advantages

< p>However, the Nujiang Grand Canyon, an unexploited place, has many advantages that are enough to attract people who really love traveling, traveling and experiencing. /91ef76c6a7efce1b64c67549a351f3deb58f6540?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

1. Primitive simplicity has not been over-exploited

This is the most important and attractive thing. Many scenic spots in Yunnan have been commercialized, such as Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La, etc., so the original, simple and unmodified scenic spots are particularly valuable. /377adab44aed2e73f7203baf8b01a18b86d6fa6c?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

Moreover, for me, there are few tourists and folk customs It is simple, the scenic spots are naturally beautiful, there are no similar shopping streets, and when you go out, you can see nature instead of crowds of people, which makes me even happier. /9825bc315c6034a859c20402c713495409237614?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

2. Unique national customs

The ethnic customs of Nujiang River are very unique, here are two or three.

1. Almost every village in Nujiang has a Christian church, which is surprising enough. As for the reason, it involves many historical and religious issues, so I won’t go into details here. Famous ones include Laomudeng Christian Church, Chongding Church in Bingzhongluo, etc. /29381f30e924b8992e0bc5bb62061d950a7bf67a?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

Chongding Church

2. Nujiang Prefecture has the smallest population in China It is one of the places with the largest number of ethnic minorities, such as the Nu, Lisu, Dulong, Pulan, etc. You may have never heard of many ethnic groups. /b999a9014c086e06979f83c80e087bf40ad1cb7a?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

3. The ethnic characteristics of Nujiang River are very unique, such as Although the face tattoo custom of the Dulong people in Dulongjiang Township has been abolished now, and older girls no longer need to have face tattoos, there are still old people with tattoos still alive. Many tourists go to Dulongjiang specifically to look for old people with tattoos. An elder told me before that if he could take a photo with the tattooed old man, he would have no regrets in his life, so he was particularly envious of me for meeting the tattooed old man. /0823dd54564e9258de143a6d9082d158ccbf4e14?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

3. Beautiful scenery

List a few scenic spots that I think are very good

1. Dulongjiang

Dulongjiang Township, located at the junction of China, Myanmar, Yunnan and Tibet, is one of the last few in my country to be opened to traffic. The ethnic minority area was isolated from the world for a long time. It took two days and one night to walk over the snow-capped mountains to get to Gongshan County. With the construction of the road and its opening to traffic, the last caravans also disappeared (if you are interested, you can watch the documentary "The Last Caravan") .

Dulongjiang Longyuan

December every year is the most beautiful month of Dulongjiang In this season, the scenery along the way from Gongshan County to Dulongjiang Township is stunning. Colorful forests undulate on both sides of the Dulong River Grand Canyon. The top of the mountain is covered with snow, and the Dulong River winding at the foot of the mountain is turquoise. In the morning, the sea of ??clouds fills the entire Dulong River Grand Canyon, giving people the illusion of jumping down. Walking on the road feels like walking on the clouds. /09fa513d269759eea299dd48befb43166c22df6c?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

2. Laomudeng, Zhiziluo

Laomudeng Village, located in Pihe Township, Fugong County, Nujiang Prefecture, is built on the mountainside of Biluo Snow Mountain. It is known as the most beautiful village in China. Standing in the village, you can overlook the Nujiang Grand Canyon. There are often clouds and mist in the morning, and when you open the window, you can see the sea of ??clouds in the Nu River Gorge. /c2cec3fdfc039245ee955d8c8b94a4c27d1e2514?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

Laomudeng

Zhiziluo, located three kilometers above Laomudeng Village, was once the site of the Nujiang Prefecture. Later, the Prefecture was moved to Liuzhou. Many residents moved away with Xingjia, leaving empty houses, so it was called the abandoned city. /d01373f082025aaff8dec348f7edab64024f1a40?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

Zhiziluo

Now all buildings and streets in Zhiziluo remain six or seven It looks like the 1900s, and walking into Zhiziluo is like traveling back to that red era, so Zhiziluo is also called the City of Memory. /72f082025aafa40f162a735ea764034f79f01940?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

3. Bingzhongluo

Bingzhongluo Town is located in Gongshan County, Nujiang Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It is known as the paradise where humans and gods live. The Nujiang River turns the first 270-degree bay here, forming the first bay of the Nujiang River. There are There is a village on the island called Zanatong. It is surrounded by water on three sides and backed by mountains on one side. It is full of peach blossoms. In March, peach blossoms bloom everywhere, so it is also called Peach Blossom Island. /d439b6003af33a8720a4bd99ca5c10385243b56c?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

Nujiang First Bay

Go from Bingzhongluo towards Tibet. First, we pass Chongding Church, a very famous church in the Nujiang area, and then we pass Shimenguan. If we continue forward, we will see a village on the other side of the Nujiang River, called Wuli Village. /64380cd7912397dd774e24875582b2b7d0a2877a?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

Wuli Village

Wuli Village is often shrouded in mist in the morning, and there are many people In order to take pictures of Wuli Village at sunrise, I would go from Bingzhongluo to the other side of Wuli Village and wait there early in the morning.

If you want to enter the village, you can only take the Ancient Tea Horse Road opened on the cliffs above the Nu River. Otherwise, you can only look at the stilted buildings dotted in Wuli Village on the other side of the river and see the smoke rising from the stilts. /72f082025aafa40f17e6725ea764034f78f01914?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

The Ancient Tea Horse Road

Wuli Village continues towards Tibet. You can see the Qiunatong Village on the border with Tibet. There are inns here. Some people will choose to stay in Qiunatong for one night to watch the sunrise and sunset in Qiunatong. You can see one or two wooden houses dotted here and there on the top or on the mountainside. Smoke rises from the kitchen in the morning and evening, making it look like a place where experts from outside the world live in seclusion. /d1a20cf431adcbefa9fdc385a0af2edda2cc9f6c?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

Qiunatong

I am afraid that some people will not read the middle article, here Another reminder: The section from Liuku to Gongshan in Nujiang Prefecture is under construction. There are frequent stop-and-go traffic, and traffic is prohibited from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Dulongjiang is currently in a closed period (2017.10.1-2019.9.30).

Laomudeng

Summary: Beautiful roads are being built in Nujiang and completed Later, a new Yunnan-Tibet line will appear, running from Kunming to Liuku, passing through the Nujiang Grand Canyon to Bingzhongluo, crossing Bingchacha to Ranwu, and converging with the Sichuan-Tibet line of National Highway 318. By then, this new Yunnan-Tibet line will definitely become one of the most beautiful roads in China, and I believe it will become a new popular attraction and a popular route into Tibet.

If the new Yunnan-Tibet Line is built, will you go to the Nu River?
