What a surprise! Yunnan, an undeveloped village, has become a global tourist destination and is also rich in Pu 'er tea.

Welcome to the travel adventure office of tailless elephant and cat, please join us to discover those unknown minority travel stories!

Do you know that?/You know what? A few days ago, the annual "Best Tourism Destination in the World" was selected by National Geographic, but only one place in China was selected, and that is Jingmai Mountain, the undeveloped border at the southernmost tip of Cai Yun. It is located at the junction of Xishuangbanna and Yunnan, where there are famous Pu 'er tea and two little-known ancient villages-Wengji and Nuogan!

Because Jingmai Mountain is located in the southern edge of Yunnan, it can be said that whether you come by car from Lancang County or Xishuangbanna, you should ask and check at the foot of the mountain. It is said that sometimes you have to book a hotel to get in. It is recommended to contact in advance. Entering the mountain road is a typical washboard road, not an old driver. Be careful when driving the manual gear!

First stop: Nuogan Guzhai. Personally, I think it is the stockade with the most mountain village feelings. After driving through the modern Dazhai, it takes about 10 minutes to reach Wengji Ancient Village, which is dominated by pole buildings. The whole village is very small, surrounded by mountains, with less than 100 households, but the roofs between them are layered. And the color is very uniform, beyond the film.

Although Nuogan Guzhai is a coffee-growing area in the movie, it is a pity that when we accepted the invitation of local villagers to have tea at home, we realized that Pu 'er tea is mainly planted in the whole Jingmai mountain area, and the most famous one is Jingmai Camellia.

Jingmai Ancient Tea Mountain retains the most primitive natural environment. The vegetation is mountainous evergreen broad-leaved forest. Ecological protection is very complete and species resources are very rich. This is a sacred land. This is the only sacred mountain in the world that applies for the world intangible cultural heritage in the name of tea. It is hard to imagine that the tea culture in this mountain has a history of 1300 years. One of the ancient tea-horse roads started from here to Lhasa.

Second stop: Wengji Ancient Village, do you know? At the entrance of Wengji is the market for the movie "Arrive Home at One Point", with an old temple overlooking the sunset in Jingmai Mountain. Wengji is built on the mountain. Local families grow and sell tea for a living, so they don't have to worry about not drinking good Pu 'er tea. There are several better inns in the stockade, all of which are cheaper. You can stay here for one night and watch the sunrise in the sea of clouds the next day.

Compared with Nuogan, Wengji Village has a better geographical position. Personally, I think Wengji Village is very distinctive. It is far from Pu 'er City and close to Xishuangbanna, and it is convenient to catch the street in Menghai County, Xishuangbanna. If you are a friend coming to xishuangbanna tourism, you can come here specially. After all, there are fewer and fewer villages that are not open.

Wengjizhai is all the traditional pillar buildings of Bulang nationality. The house has a simple structure, mostly two floors. In the past, pigs and cattle were mainly raised downstairs, but now it's different. The lower floor of each household is used to make tea, and the upper floor is more often used to rebuild accommodation or places for eating and drinking tea. I always remember that when I went to Wengji, the bosses of every household called me up for tea.

The following is Jingmai Mountain's travel guide. I hope you can see more different scenery when you go.
