My treasured travel destination, Nuodeng Village

A place so quiet it brings peace to one's soul. ⛰️ Address: Located in Yunlong County, Dali, about 170 kilometers from Dali Ancient Town 🚗 Transportation: Take a bus from Dali Ancient Town to Yunlong County (Dali Express Bus Station—Yunlong Bus Station, bus fare 60/person), then take a tricycle to Nuodeng Ancient Village (20 per trip) Recommended reason tips❤️ Nuodeng, a millennium-old village, has no commercialization at all, not even a small shop in the village. Luggage has to be carried by mules from the entrance of the village to the guesthouse because the village is built on the mountain, with only guesthouses and a quiet coffee shop. You can basically only eat with the guesthouse owner's family, and there are two stalls at the entrance of the village selling sunflower seeds and ice pops. The local chicken here has been raised in the mountains for over a year. The meat is very firm, and it's the color of a black-bone chicken. The guesthouse owner stewed half and roasted half for just over a hundred, served with Yunnan dipping sauce, which is absolutely delicious! Every morning you wake up to the smoke of cooking fires, the crowing of roosters, the barking of dogs, and the singing of birds calling you to wake up. Just sit quietly in the guesthouse drinking tea, everything slows down. Those travel photos of ancient towns can't compare at all! Of course, if you like a slow life, this is the place for you. It's truly a world apart, and some might feel there's nothing to do here, it's just a village. By the way, Nuodeng ham is particularly famous here, a village that hasn't changed its name for a thousand years. I just specially pieced together a picture for you, the only place I want to visit a second time.
