Nakeli Village
Nakelie Village
Nakelie Village is located in Tongxin Town, Ning'er Hani and Yi Autonomous County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province. It is 16 km from Ning'er County and 25 km from Pu'er City.
Nakelie Village is an ancient post station on the Ancient Tea Horse Road. It is home to many ethnic groups, including the Hani, Yi, and Dai. The village has well-preserved historical sites, such as the Ancient Tea Horse Road.
In recent years, Nakelie Village has received many honors, including National Civilized Village, National Ecological and Cultural Village, National Beautiful and Livable Village Demonstration, National Ethnic Unity Demonstration Village, and Yunnan Province Characteristic Town. In addition, the village is known as "a place that makes people nostalgic for their hometown."
Nakelie Village has simple folk customs and hospitable villagers. Here, you can not only enjoy the beautiful natural scenery, but also experience the rich culture of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, watch song and dance performances by the villagers, taste traditional caravan dishes, and enjoy the fresh air and peaceful rural life.
Huilong Temple
Huilong Temple is located in Ning'er County and was built in the Ming Dynasty. After seeing the sea of clouds in Pu'er Mountain, you can stop by to have a look.
Walking up the steps, you can see the history of Ning'er County on both sides. If you come in the afternoon, the yellow walls and gray tiles will look very beautiful in the sunset. It is known as the "Huilong Sunset."
The temple is not big, but it is very quiet, with lush flowers and plants, a main hall, a Mahavira Hall, and a Tongxin Pagoda, which is very magnificent. It is said that there is a vegetarian meal for CNY 25 per person after 12:00.
I went there in the morning when it was foggy. I hope you can go there to have a vegetarian meal and see the Huilong Sunset!
Nake Ancient Town, Pu'er: A Timeless Painting
Last weekend, I visited the Nake Ancient Tea Horse Road in Pu'er. It used to be a post station in ancient times, but now it has become a small town of considerable size.
The biggest difference between it and other ancient towns is that it has not been excessively renovated, only decorated with flowers and lanterns, so Nake still retains the charm of the old days.
How few people are there in the town? When I parked my car at the visitor center, there were less than 10 cars, including mine, except for a few RVs traveling around the country.
The ancient town is opposite the visitor center. I thought it was very big at first, but it only took 20 minutes to walk slowly from the visitor center to the Fengyu Bridge. You can definitely walk back and forth in an hour. Many places on the map are no longer there, such as the Nostalgia Academy and the Ancient Road Exhibition Hall.
Wandering along the uneven stone road, every old house is decorated with succulents, flowers, lanterns, pine cones, etc., and you can find some small surprises.
The tea house along the river next to the Fengyu Bridge, with its tea sign swaying in the wind, made me feel like I was traveling through time.
The food is also very cheap, with dried cabbage for 10 yuan a handful and glutinous rice cakes for 2 yuan each. Only the beef jerky is a bit expensive, 190 yuan per kilogram, but it tastes great.
After wandering around, I returned to the entrance. Looking around, the residential buildings that have not been excessively decorated are rare in today's ancient towns.
Tips:
1. It is recommended to drive by yourself. You can take a taxi to get there, but you may not be able to get back.
2. The town offers activities such as tie-dyeing, horseback riding, and tea making, which are not expensive. Feel free to ask.
Nake Ancient Town is still a very worthwhile ancient town to explore.
Nake Village

As soon as you enter Nake, you'll be captivated by its tranquility and simplicity. The village is home to 66 households and two small rivers that meet here. The village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has a good ecological environment. It has well-preserved ruins of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, the century-old Rongfa Store, and some historical relics such as horse lamps and horse drinking troughs used by horse caravans.

Yunnan's historical and cultural footprint - Chama Ancient Town.
Na Ke Li Ancient Tea Horse Road|||Na Ke Li Ancient Tea Horse Road is located in Ning'er, about a 30-minute drive from Pu'er City. The entire scenic area can be explored in 1 hour.
Admission is free, but parking is charged. There are not many people during the off-season, and cars seem to be able to drive into the scenic area, or you can eat at the shops at the entrance and park temporarily.
Photo 2 is a detailed route map, follow it and you won't go wrong, no need to backtrack. Don't go any further when you reach the Millennium Bridge, just cross the bridge to the North Zhai Gate, and walk along the boardwalk to the parking area on the highway.
There are not many people during the off-season, and many shops are not open, but it is quiet and nice, worth a look and a stroll.
There are some snacks, we bought glutinous rice cakes, 1 yuan each, with filling, not bad.
Drunk and lying down, I don't know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of star dreams and the Milky Way.
Where my eyes are, the Milky Way is hot
The sporadic beauty will shine like the Milky Way in the end
✨I give you the stars of the Kunlun Mountains✨
In the evening, I walked alone into the quiet fields, and the deep blue gradually dyed the sky. When the last ray of light faded from the earth, the stars quietly embellished the night sky.
I looked up, and it was a vast universe. The stars are like countless twinkling eyes, quietly staring at the earth. They are particularly bright in the dark, as if telling a distant story. Each star emits a faint light, but they together constitute this magnificent star sea.
On this quiet night, I seem to be able to hear the breathing of the starry sky and feel the vastness and depth of the universe. Those stars seem to be transmitting some kind of power and courage to me, making me feel that I am closely connected with this vast universe.
The starry sky at this moment is like a huge scroll, leaving a deep impression in my heart. I know very well that this beautiful starry sky is not only a visual enjoyment, but also a spiritual baptism. It made me feel the insignificance and greatness of life, and made me cherish this beautiful time even more.
The stars in the night sky are still twinkling, and I am already intoxicated in this tranquility and depth.
Primitive and niche Tea-Horse Ancient Road town, Na Ke Li
The only thousand-year-old post station is Na Ke Li, and the myriad flavors of the world are best represented by Pu'er tea.
"Na Ke Li" is a Dai language term, meaning fertile land and picturesque scenery.
According to the "Pu'er Prefecture Chronicles", during the Ming and Qing dynasties, Pu'er Prefecture was the starting point of five Tea-Horse Ancient Roads: the Northeast Guanma Avenue, the Northwest Guancang Tea-Horse Ancient Road, the Southeast Jianglai Tea-Horse Ancient Road, the Southwest Dry Season Tea-Horse Ancient Road, and the South Mengla Tea-Horse Ancient Road.
Na Ke Li is the first station on the South Mengla Tea-Horse Ancient Road.
The quaint town lacks the strong commercial atmosphere of Lijiang. Clear streams meander through the village, flowing past the doors of closely packed small shops. The Tea-Horse Ancient Road ruins, Horse Jumping Stone, Heart-Connecting Bridge... the air is filled with the fragrance of Pu'er tea and a strong sense of nostalgia.
Walking along the bluestone road, searching for the faintly visible hoof prints, one can find the ancient Rongfa Horse Inn. The couplet at the entrance reads, "Who is the master beyond the mountains, we meet by chance and I host," full of the unrestrained and bold character of the horsemen. Inside the inn, there are stone water tanks, oil lamps, and stone chessboards, as if taking people back to the long years of neighing horses and ringing camel bells.
As people age, they tend to prefer places with fewer people. Focusing on the sunrise and sunset, the blooming and withering of flowers, the rolling clouds, solitude becomes the ultimate destination.
Puer, the historical charm of Nake Li Tea Horse Station~
The first stop in Puer, I chose Nake Li (a small village or ancient town)
Nake Li is an important station on the ancient Tea Horse Road of the old Puer Prefecture and was once the 'first stop' for Puer tea heading to Southeast Asia.
How did I discover such a niche attraction?
Probably because I particularly like these ancient villages, ancient towns, and ancient forts.
It is said to be very inconvenient to come from Puer city, so I rented a car and drove 20 kilometers through winding mountain roads to get here (you can navigate to 'Nake Li Tea Horse Station' or 'Nake Li Tea Horse Road', there is a large paid parking lot by the roadside at the village gate).
It is not the peak tourist season now, and Nake Li is not a famous attraction, so this small village has very few tourists, and the shops are mostly closed.
Overall, it takes about an hour to tour the ancient village, no tickets are needed, but there is a horse riding experience project in the village. If you ride a horse, it will take more than an hour and cost money.
I admire the not-so-well-preserved Tea Horse Road ruins. It was amazing how people could transport goods through these mountain roads in ancient times.
There are very few tourists here, making it perfect for slowing down.
However, I might not have felt the caravan culture and Puer tea culture.
Before leaving, I had a cup of Puer tea roasted milk, and I was very satisfied. The roasted milk had dried rose petals and red dates added, and the taste was really fragrant and sweet. This is the most recommended project, you must drink it when you come here!
(Be careful of mosquitoes and insects, I still got bitten)
Puer Na Ke Li
⛰【Attraction Guide】
📍Detailed Address: Ning'er County, Puer City, Yunnan
🚗Transportation Strategy:
🕙Opening Hours: All day
💰Ticket Price: Free
🌟Highlights: Na Ke Li, originally named 'Ma Ku Li'. Legend has it that no matter whether coming down from Mohei Peacock Terrace via the Yi route or coming up from Simao, all horse caravans that entered the capital via the official road had to rest overnight at the 'Rongfa Horse Inn' in Na Ke Li. The caravans entering or leaving the 'Rongfa Horse Inn' had to wade through a small river in front of the inn. The tired or sleepy horses, facing the cool river water, would shed sad tears, hence the name 'Ma Ku Li'. The horse caravan leader, who valued horses as life, petitioned the government several times, and the government fulfilled his wish by building a 20-plus meter long, five-bay 'Wind and Rain Bridge'. Since then, 'Ma Ku Li' was renamed 'Na Ke Li'
📌Little Tips: Quite suitable for relaxing
Escape from the City | Enviable Slow Life in Pu'er·Nakeli!
| Enviable Slow Life in Pu'er·Nakeli!.
In Pu'er, I unexpectedly encountered a town just like the one from 'The Place with the Wind'.
Escaping the hustle and bustle of the city, I seemed to have entered a secluded and peaceful world. On my trip to Pu'er, I didn't choose the commercially vibrant 'Tea Horse Ancient City', but instead, I opted for the lesser-known yet charming Tea Horse Ancient Town—Nakeli.
Looking up, there's the cloudless blue sky; beneath my feet, the stone-paved alleys steeped in history; on both sides, courtyards blooming with flowers, everything is so peaceful and beautiful. The villagers here are simple and enthusiastic, their pace of life is leisurely and comfortable, as if time itself slows down here.
This town is about 25 kilometers from the downtown area of Pu'er, roughly a 30-minute drive. You can stroll around leisurely for an hour here, feeling that unique tranquility and harmony. If you get tired, why not find a restaurant that serves caravan cuisine and taste the local delicacies? The flavor will definitely satisfy you.
After the meal, you can also find a tea house or coffee shop, sit down for a tea or coffee, and enjoy some leisure time. Basking in the sun, chatting, or daydreaming here is so pleasant and comfortable.
If you also want to experience this kind of 'aspired life', I recommend you check in at these shops: Yunlai Sheng Courtyard, Changting Wai Courtyard, and Deep Mountain Coffee House. I believe you will fall in love with this beautiful town and find your own peace and happiness.
Nakeli
Jingmai Mountain! A great place to unwind on the weekend
It takes nearly four hours to get there by highway from Pu'er city center.
The commercialization of the scenic area is just right, providing basic needs without annoying tourists. The key is they don't overcharge! So far, it's one of the scenic areas I like the most. We randomly chose a restaurant in Nuogan Ancient Village for a meal, and it was delicious without any disappointments. Recommended dishes are grilled pork belly, grilled fish, and stir-fried tea leaves with eggs. They are quite distinctive and very tasty. The most common phrases we said while at Jingmai Mountain were: so beautiful, so delicious, so nice to drink. Interestingly, aside from the grilled meat and fish, all other dishes were packed and brought over by the owner from their home after we ordered. The owner would brew tea for us during the meal, including Dianhong, raw Pu'er, ripe Pu'er, and white tea. Personally, I recommend the white tea; even someone who doesn't like tea would find it good. The owner mentioned that spring tea is better than autumn tea, so everyone can choose their travel time accordingly. The greening inside the ancient village is wonderful, and the residents' pace of life is very slow. On the way down the mountain, you can stop at the viewing platform to take photos and check in, as the scenery is particularly beautiful. Due to time constraints, we only visited Nuogan Ancient Village and stopped briefly at Wengji Ancient Town to see the sacred tree.

When visiting Pu’er, don’t miss Nakori Town
The town is not big, but it is good for taking pictures of the Queen
I can play here for most of the day
It takes more than half an hour to take a taxi from Pu'er city to Nakeli. The small winding mountain road has slightly highlighted the beautiful scenery.
When we got there, Keli was even more eye-catching.
Keep walking along the stone road
Many coffee/tea shops
The interiors are exquisite and simple
The soft decoration copywriting also captures people's hearts

Jingmai Mountain▲ Travel Tips Only Locals Will Tell You
Jingmai Mountain
Yunnan's Puer Jingmai Mountain, with its thousand-year-old ancient tea forests and villages, boasts stunning sea of clouds and sunrises and sunsets. There are 9 villages in Jingmai Mountain applying for World Heritage status: Dongben, Manggeng, Jingmai Dazhai, Nuogang (also called Nuogan), Manghong, Mangjing Upper and Lower Village, Wengji, Wengwa.
Firstly, don't rush when visiting Jingmai Mountain; if you do, you'll miss its charm, as if you just circled around the mountain.
If you're short on time, a two-day trip can be arranged. If you have more time, consider staying a few more days. Visit in December or January to see the mountain cherry blossoms. In April, the spring tea is on the market, and there are grand festivals of the Blang and Dai ethnic groups.
Transportation to Jingmai Mountain is not very convenient; you can choose to drive yourself or hire a car. It takes about 3 hours to drive from Puer, and after entering the mountain, there is a 20-kilometer gravel road that is very bumpy (to protect the tea mountain's ecology, no asphalt has been laid), so slow down to avoid tire blowouts. There are checkpoints when entering and exiting the mountain, so make sure to check the items in the car when renting.
Homestays are built by locals themselves. Some hosts, who usually do business outside, may be more commercialized, while others live in the village and revolve around tea planting, picking, and processing. These homestays are very homely; you'll eat corn and such grown in their own fields, and drink their own tea. The hosts are simple and sincere, and the tea processing workshop is also next to the homestay. If you want to visit or experience it, the host will introduce it enthusiastically. The villages are far from the county town, so if you're picky, prepare your own toiletries.
The food in the village is very simple, all home-cooked dishes: clear soup with free-range chicken, stir-fried tea leaves with eggs, stir-fried cured meat are all quite delicious. You can usually eat at the homestay, but you should tell the host in advance how many people there are.
If you want to see the Tea King Tree, it's best to have a local, preferably the homestay host, lead you there. Do not pick tea leaves at random by the roadside; locals do not like it, and fresh tea leaves cannot be consumed immediately. The host's home always has a tea room where you can taste all kinds of tea.
The temperature difference between day and night on Jingmai Mountain is quite significant, so be sure to bring spare clothes.
Each village has its own characteristics, and the tea is different. If you ask me how to plan your route, I can only say that you have to experience it yourself to understand the feeling of 'being in the midst of the mountains'.
Nakeli is a quaint tea-horse ancient town
It takes about 30 minutes by car from the Pu'er city area to reach Nakeli tea-horse ancient town.
The town is not large, and it has the early charm of Lijiang ancient city without being commercialized. The town is mainly populated by locals selling tea. There is one particularly large shop where you can experience tea making on-site, as well as taste the tea. The owner is very hospitable; whether you buy anything or not, you can sit down and enjoy a tea tasting. According to the owner, all the tea is grown by his family, with good quality and reasonable prices. In addition to tea, there are also several coffee experience halls, all offering a pleasant experience. We arrived around 11 a.m. and played for about two hours, not having enough time to see everything. If you have more time, you can stroll around the town at leisure, experiencing the blend of Eastern and Western cultures through tea and coffee.
Yunnan Pu'er | Dyeing the Town with Flowing Lights~
How to satisfy the contemporary yearning for a pastoral slow life? If you are in Yunnan Pu'er, I would tell you the answer lies in Naka Li. 'Naka Li' is a transliteration from the Dai language, meaning 'small bridges, flowing water, and a bountiful land.' It is an important post on the Ancient Tea Horse Road, bustling with activity from the past to the present.
In this town, there is a hidden plant dyeing workshop—Qianshan Dye.
The master of the workshop is knowledgeable about the past and present, integrating various techniques to create intricate and exquisite works of art.
The master uses different plants from the four seasons, combined with techniques such as rubbing or immersion dyeing, to capture spring, summer, autumn, and winter on these pieces of fabric. Taking away a small item is like forever preserving the mystery of this utopian paradise.
The dyeing workshop's cute dog, Qianshan Dye workshop, indigo dyeing, batik, snail pattern batik, indigo root and green persimmon set dyeing, patchwork embroidery, persimmon dyeing (wild persimmons), onion dyeing, camellia wax dyeing, rose rubbing dyeing
And many more plant-dyed trinkets are waiting for you to discover them personally
Finally, thank you to the enthusiastic reception of the Qianshan Dye workshop owner
Nuogan Ancient Village
If I were to drive myself, I might not be able to find this place, so thank you to the local tour guides. Nuogan Ancient Village, also known as Nuogang Ancient Village, is located in Huimin Town, Cangyuan Wa Autonomous County, Pu'er City. It is also hidden among thousands of acres of ancient tea gardens and is one of the most primitive villages in Yunnan. There is no commerce here, and not even many tourists. What you can find are banana trees and tea. The lifestyle here is what you call slow living, truly slow. The villagers are mainly of the Dai ethnicity, and their customs continue the Dai traditions, with every household growing tea.

Nakeli was once an important post station on the ancient Tea Horse Road, a necessary path for the horse caravans traveling between Simao and the official road to Beijing. For hundreds of years, this place has preserved very intact ancient village architecture, and the old horse road still looks the same as it did hundreds of years ago. Due to its remote location, there are very few tourists who come here, but the rich products, the famous caravan cuisine, and the profound historical and cultural atmosphere are also worth spending a day here.
Visiting time: About half a day, it's nice to go to the village in the morning to see the morning mist. It's more comfortable to leave after lunch.
Location: Nakeli Village, Tongxin Town, Ning'er County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province

How can one pass by Pu'er without stopping at Nako Li?!
Ten years later, returning to Nako Li, one can't help but exclaim, 'Such a huge change!'
Gold will always shine! Pu'er has two main pillars: tourism and tea. Nako Li is part of the ancient Tea Horse Road and represents an opportunity for rural revitalization.
Thus, today's Nako Li is inseparable from the government's attention, with bank poverty alleviation and assistance projects proving to be quite successful, attracting crowds of tourists.
Nako Li, this time it's just a pass-through, but I will come back, for I have beautiful memories here!
My Favorite City in Yunnan—Puer
Sharing my little travel itinerary
Nakeli Ancient Town is the least commercialized ancient town I've ever visited
You can buy everything there, olive honey for 15 yuan a bottle
I took a taxi there, the journey is a bit long
The driver might say that he needs to charge more (the reason being that it's hard to find passengers for the return trip)
But actually, it's not necessary, because there are always many people during the day
You can refuse the extra charge
-
Local specialties, like the sour and spicy chicken feet, don't need to be bought at the store
Ordering takeout is super convenient
-
Pay attention to the business hours of Yang's Puer Sour and Spicy Rice Noodles
They close in the afternoon (you can also order takeout)
No need to make the trip, the delivery won't spoil, and overall it's pretty good
-
Shen's Stinky Tofu always has a long queue
It feels like it's better to go there ahead of the mealtime rush
-
May 1st Farmers' Market
When I went there, it felt just like a vegetable market,
Since I don't live there, there wasn't much for me to buy
However, if you walk to the left of the market, there's a beef shop
They have their special dried beef
It's very fragrant when stir-fried in the shop! I bought some to take home!
It's much cheaper than in Xishuangbanna, definitely worth a try
-
I regret not allocating more time for Puer in my itinerary
I really like this city
Driving on the ancient Tea Horse Road to Nakeli
🌸 Travel Date: 2024.03.17
Yunnan has many charming towns, and Nakeli is one of them. Originally named Makuli, it got its name because there was a stream in front of the horse inn where the horses rested, and it was a tough crossing for them. Nakeli was an important post station on the ancient Tea Horse Road of the Pu'er Prefecture. The village is small, quaint, and quiet.
🌸 What to do in Nakeli?
The Tea Horse Road is paved with stones, with a total length of 30 kilometers, going up and down along the mountain terrain, and is a very well-preserved section.
The Sheltered Bridge was renamed Nakeli from Makuli because of this 20-meter-long bridge built by the government.
Rongfa Horse Inn There were 4 or 5 horse inns in Nakeli, and the best-preserved one is the Rongfa Horse Inn built in 1831.
Suspension Bridge The thousand-year-old wooden suspension bridge outside the North Village Gate.
The village has mostly coffee shops and tea rooms, 'coffee in the left hand, tea in the right' as they say in Pu'er, so be sure to find a shop you like to have a cup of coffee or tea. We chose the pavilion outside the courtyard blooming with bougainvillea, which is very beautiful for photos.
If you have time, you can also try the caravan cuisine, various rough-processed wild vegetables and air-dried meats: milk fan, dried meat, cured meat, etc.

Go wild in Nako Li - Pu'er Tea Ancient Trail
Go wild, as we are not immortals from Penglai, envying not the mandarin ducks but the celestial beings. Roaming in Nako Li for half a day, the ancient trail still feels majestic, and the aroma of tea naturally elegant. Regardless of the world's coldness or warmth, with friends, one can leisurely enjoy.
What I see is not what you see, traveling is but a search for oneself.
🌟 Highlights:
The original charm of the ancient trail is preserved. Stone-paved, enduring for a millennium, one step and the heart knows, a thousand years of convergence.
👍 Most recommended:
Find a courtyard, brew tea, watch flowers, chat with friends, and vent all the sorrows.
🚉 Transportation tips:
Departing from Pu'er, over 30 kilometers, no public transport seen. Taking a taxi back and forth costs about 120, one way takes 1 hour. If there's no car for the return trip, wait longer, and don't return too late. It should be fine before 3 pm.
🗓 Itinerary:
Half a day should suffice. It takes 1 hour to walk through the small village, and it's comfortable to sunbathe and drink tea for half a day.
📝 Note tips:
Courtyards all sell tea, with big price differences. It's advised to taste before buying, a price around 400 per half kilogram is acceptable, after all, we are not tea connoisseurs, as long as it tastes good. For your reference.
Mohei Ancient Town, the foremost town of the Tea Horse Ancient Road
The hometown of the beauty (the hometown of Yang Likun, the leading actress in the movie 'Five Golden Flowers').
The first town on the Tea Horse Ancient Trail. It's nice to stroll around for a day. The beef jerky bar is pretty good.
I happened to meet an elder, Mr. Zhang Zhaogong, who resides away from his hometown. Seeing that we were from the inland, he felt a sense of encountering old acquaintances in a foreign land. The old man is in good health, very talkative, knowledgeable, with a wide range of interests, and we had a pleasant conversation. Moreover, he led us to several unique spots in the ancient town that we hadn't noticed and introduced us to several plants we were unaware of. Talking with the elder was very rewarding.
It is recommended for those visiting Mohei Ancient Town to consider having the elder as a guide; it will surely be a trip worth taking.
Take my advice, Na Keli in Yunnan Pu'er really takes great photos

It's a 30-minute drive from Pu'er city center, it's very convenient to drive or take a taxi, but remember not to take the highway (you will miss this place if you take the highway), there is no exit, just take the G213 National Road.
You can also take a bus, about 40 minutes, tell the driver to go to 'Na Keli', they will drop you off at the highway toll station. After getting off the bus, you just need to cross a road to get there.
Return trip: The bus driver will proactively help you, let you leave the driver's phone number, the driver will call in advance before the return trip to wait at the entrance of the scenic spot, it's very convenient. There are buses before 5 pm.

Minority Pu'er | Avoiding the crowd to visit the profound background of Nakeri Ancient Town
This time, I felt the Nakeri Tea Horse Post Station
🎋About 45 minutes drive from Pu'er City, there is a beautiful ancient town—🍀Nakeri Ancient Town. Although it is now a minority scenic spot, its history is very long, and its status in the ancient tea-horse road was also very important. It is an important post station in the ancient tea-horse road and a place where official seals are added. Today's Nakeri is still beautiful, it not only retains the charm given by history but also has a strong humanistic atmosphere.
🌾The bluestone road in Nakeri is shining with the luster of the years, and the small shops on both sides are antique. Passing by the food shop, there is occasional cooking smoke. Let the child ride a horse and walk on the ancient tea-horse road, passing through the bamboo forest as if traveling through history.
🌻After walking through the Wind and Rain Bridge, I realized that although the hoof prints are left, the years are like new.
🍚Go to Rongfa Horse Shop to taste the horse gang dishes and experience the taste of the journey.
🍵"Outside the Long Pavilion" taste a cup of tea, take a picture of "Peace. Joy" under the flowers.
🌺An ancient town outside the world, give yourself a peaceful journey, isn't it fragrant?!
