A trip to Dali-We went to Nuodeng, a Millennium Bai village, to see the starry sky.

That day, I went back to Lion's Nest Inn after a day's sightseeing in the ancient city of Dali. It was very late, and the owner lion asked me what I planned for tomorrow. According to my travel plan at that time, the next stops after Dali were Shaxi Ancient Town and Old Town of Lijiang, but staying in Dali was really comfortable and I was a little reluctant to leave. Shizi told me that if I wanted to visit Dali, I could go with some of her friends. Tomorrow, some friends want to go to Norden to see the starry sky. I wonder if I'm interested. I feel refreshed when I listen to it. Of course. I was alone all the way, walking around and stopping. Although I was comfortable, I was sometimes a little lonely. I don't want to arrange my trip in a hurry. Dali is a place worth wasting my time. I want to stay here for a few more days. As it happens, these friends mentioned by the prince are also old people who wander around Dali all the year round. With them, you can learn more about Dali, eat, drink and have company. Of course I want to see them.

In this way, I met my companions Wei Wei, Cai Jun and Hao Zi in the glass room on the second floor of Lion Nest Inn. They were eating when I went up, and Shizi was watching TV on the second floor as before. After I came, I began to chat with them, eating and chatting. I don't know much about tomorrow's destination, Nuodenggu Village. They said that Nuodeng Ham there is very famous, which was mentioned in the first season of China on the Tip of the Tongue, but I forgot. It can be seen that I am not a complete foodie. After talking about the details of tomorrow's trip, we went back to bed early to prepare for tomorrow's trip.

The next morning, the four of us gathered in the lion's nest, ready to leave the ancient city of Dali and go to Nuodeng, known as the Millennium Bai Village.

Nuodeng, located in the deep mountains in the north of Yunlong County, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, has never changed its name for more than 1000 years. Along the way, I heard them say how beautiful the night sky in Nuodeng is, and the stars are within reach. My mind is full of all kinds of pictures of the starry sky, and my trip for the next three days and two nights is full of infinite expectations.

There is no direct bus to Nuodeng in Dali ancient city. Unless you choose to hire a car, we don't choose to hire a car. Instead, take a taxi from the ancient city of Dali to Shimonoseki, take the county bus from Shimonoseki to Yunlong County, and take a small tricycle to the foot of Nuodeng Village after lunch in Yunlong County. The whole trip took a whole morning, and several people talked and laughed along the way, and time passed quickly. And you can enjoy the scenery in the deep mountains of Dali along the way. Along the way, there are flowers from Ge Sang everywhere, blue sky, white clouds and green hills, and the vision is very enjoyable. I was ecstatic at the foot of the village of Norden.

The whole village of Norden is located on one side of the mountain in a patchwork way, extending to the middle of the mountain layer by layer. At the bottom of the mountain village, there is a narrow and winding stream, which flows noisily. One road goes along the stream, and you can go straight to the village by crossing a bridge along the road. On one side of the village bridge, there is a thousand-year-old salt well. This is the former site of Nuodeng Salt Well, which is now well preserved.

Moving on, the streams and bridges are full of colorful flowers, which are intertwined in such an ancient village against the background of blue sky and white clouds, making people intoxicated. At that time, I thought the main purpose of coming here was to look at the starry sky at night, but now I have forgotten the idea of looking at the starry sky and am completely lost in this beautiful scenery.

Because Nuodeng is relatively remote, there are not many tourists coming here to play, and it is also very quiet here. After wandering around the village entrance for a while, we began to climb the mountain and go to the reserved homestay. At first it was full of freshness, but after climbing a flight of stairs, I began to complain. It may be because I have lived in the city for a long time and lacked exercise. Maybe there are too many steps here, or maybe the luggage is too heavy, and you are panting after a few steps.

The aborigines of Norden Village all live in this village. We have reached the rice harvest season. Most indigenous people are busy with the autumn harvest. The whole village is quiet, and occasionally there are tourists in twos and threes, but no one deliberately breaks the silence of the village. We only heard the sound of poultry everywhere, full of the breath of life, and felt back to childhood.

Cai Jun, the tour leader, is an old man who wanders around Dali all the year round. He often occasionally brings friends to stay in Nuodeng, where he is familiar with it. The homestay we live in is a relatively modern private house under a big banyan tree halfway up the mountain. The boss's wife, Sister Hong, is an old friend. She is very enthusiastic. Her grandmother took us to the residence, said a few words and left. Upon arrival, we put down our luggage and went out for a stroll. I have long been full of curiosity and joy for such an ancient village. I want to visit every path in the village and see every scenery in the village.

After a short rest, Cai Jun led us all up the mountain to find the best angle to watch the starry sky at night. Every step up the mountain is a stone road piled up with stone steps. Both sides of the path leading to the mountain are covered with branches and cacti. The cactus roots here are so thick that I can't imagine. Perhaps the climate here is more suitable for the growth of this plant, and some roots are even thicker than people's calves. I really can't believe what I saw if I didn't see it with my own eyes.

On the way up the mountain, just in time for primary school students to leave school. I watched them revel in groups of three and five, laughing and slapping, which made people envy. This is a carefree era, full of vigor and vitality, and growing up carefree under the encirclement of clear water and green mountains. The road up and down the mountain is paved with large and small stones. The road was rugged, and several of us walked very hard. However, on such a small road, several little girls carrying schoolbags ran all the way down the hill, which scared my heart and told them to be careful, but they ignored us and roared past us. Maybe they are used to such bumpy roads. For them, the feeling of running down the mountain with the wind is so cool that they have forgotten the pain of rubbing their feet with stones, or they may have run such a small road all the year round and have no feeling of rubbing their feet.

On the mountain, we found an open grassland with a wide field of vision, which is more suitable for setting up tents. It was already a little cold when we went. Several people are discussing that if it is summer, we can camp here. They are discussing the news from Sister Hong. Dinner is ready and they can go back to eat.

We eat three meals a day in Nuodeng, Hongjie's house. Every meal, Hong Jie will personally pick the fresh vegetables he grows and cook authentic home cooking, fried rice with Noodle Ham and egg noodles. We can tell Hong Jie what we want to eat in advance, and she will prepare the ingredients according to our requirements.

After dinner, the sky is getting dark, the moon is gradually climbing the branches, and stars begin to appear in the sky, but there is still some time before we want to see the Milky Way starry sky. So several people began to play cards. At about 8: 30 in the evening, the four of us are going to go up the mountain to see the starry sky, but when we look at the full moon like a jade plate hanging high in the sky outside, several people already know that tonight's Milky Way starry night is ruined. But now that I'm here, I can't give up easily. That's why we are here. Let's try our luck. So several people braved the night to go to the top of the mountain.

At 8: 30, this is the time node when the city nightlife has just begun. At this moment, in the ancient villages in the mountains, almost every household has turned off the lights and fallen asleep. It was dark except for the moonlight. We walked up the mountain with flashlights, and only occasionally heard dogs barking and insects chirping along the way. When the four of us were silent, there was a chilling tension in the air. I feel this way for the first time.

When we arrived at the place where we chose to look at the starry sky during the day, the moonlight had covered the whole mountain. The moonlight that day was particularly bright and beautiful, just like what we saw when we were children. We seem to see the Moon Palace's Chang 'e Jade Rabbit and the stars in the sky, but there is no Milky Way. We waited for two hours. After a while, a white cloud like a white ribbon appeared in the sky, but it soon spread out in one direction and disappeared. Teammates say that the misty white ribbon is the Milky Way. If it weren't for the bright moonlight tonight, we would have seen the bright Milky Way.

Finally, we couldn't stand the cold wind on the mountain, and we were frozen unconscious when we went down the mountain. But no one thinks this night is a waste of money. At one end of the sky, we saw the reflection of the whole mountain in the moonlight, and the lush outlines of lush forest trees were all presented in the sky. The scene was so spectacular that none of us thought of it. I have to sigh the magic of nature.

Later, after we asked Sister Hong, we realized that the best time for Nuodeng to look at the starry sky is from the end of 1 1 to the beginning of1February every year, or in summer when the stars are shining. Many people come here to take beautiful pictures of the starry sky and gorgeous star orbits.

Watching the starry sky is a very romantic thing. If there is an opportunity, I hope you can go to Nuodeng with the people you like, feel the most primitive way of life in the ancient village, taste delicious Nuodeng ham, watch the gorgeous Milky Way and shoot the most beautiful star tracks. ...
