Jingmai Mountain | Wengji Ancient Village
❥ Wengji Ancient Village, an ancient village of the Blang people, is regarded as a microcosm of the Blang ethnic group. It is celebrated as the 'Millennium Blang Ancient Village' because it has preserved the Blang's original ecological culture and historical heritage. The village boasts beautiful natural scenery and prominent ethnic cultural features. ❥ The Blang people are one of the earliest ancestors in China and one of the oldest indigenous residents in Yunnan history. Their ancestors, the ancient Pu people, were among the first in the world to discover and utilize wild tea leaves and were also among the first in Yunnan to cultivate and plant tea. Today, they still rely on tea planting and production for their livelihood and are known as 'ancient tea farmers'. ❥ Entering the village, it seems that every household has tea leaves in front of their doors. Tea is their main source of economic income. Besides drinking, it is also used for cooking and even as a common herbal medicine by locals. The roofs of the houses in the village are decorated with patterns of one bud and two leaves, representing the totem of the Blang people. Walking down from the ancient temple, there are many tea shops on both sides of the road. No matter which tea shop you go to, the owner will warmly invite you in for tea. The sign 'Free Tea Tasting' can be seen everywhere in the village, and almost every household has a tea pavilion to entertain tea merchants and tourists from all over. ❥ The architectural style of Wengji Ancient Village is not much different from that of Nuogan Ancient Village, with the same dry-column structure, mostly two-story buildings with the ground floor elevated. The sloping roofs are covered with traditional hanging tiles. However, because Wengji has developed tourism earlier, most of the ground floors of the houses are used as shops. The roads in the village are paved with stone slabs, extending in all directions. Although there are chickens and ducks around, it is cleaner and less dusty. The Blang people prefer bright colors, and their clothing and decorations are colorful and pleasing to the eye. ❥ The Blang people believe in Theravada Buddhism, and the ancient temples are places where Theravada Buddhism is taught. The temples, with their stone-built bases, wide eaves, and broad ridges, the city towers with black tiles and red walls, and the red stone Qilin facing angrily to both sides, serve as both a sanctuary for the residents and a meeting room for the clan. They believe that all things have spirits, such as the spirit of the mountains, trees, rivers, etc. Therefore, the Blang people have a rich variety of sacrificial activities. ❥ Wengji Ancient Village is located at the northern end of Jingmai Mountain, at an altitude of about 1350 meters. Situated on high ground, the village offers views of the sea of clouds and other villages such as Mangjing Upper Village, Mangjing Lower Village, and Manghong. When we arrived, it was the beginning of the temperature drop on Jingmai Mountain, and it was near evening. It didn't feel cold in the car, but once we reached the village, we realized how cold it was and the wind was strong, which made us give up our plan to have dinner in Wengji Ancient Village. We took a quick tour around the village and left in a hurry. Currently, the accommodations and dining on Jingmai Mountain are mainly concentrated in Wengji, with relatively complete facilities and not highly commercialized. ➠Geographic location: Located in Jingmai Village, Huimin Township, Lancang Lahu Autonomous County, Pu'er, Yunnan.

Ancient Tea Village Charm·Exploring Jingmai
Hidden in the world, Jingmai in Yunnan is known as the top niche attraction! It is the birthplace of Pu'er tea, the location for the fifth Aman hotel in China, and a melting pot of ethnic cultures in the southwest border. Located in Lancang Lahu Autonomous County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province, it is far from the hustle and bustle, with only the interweaving fragrance of millennium-old tea and earth. Strolling here, one can deeply feel the unique cultural charm of the ancient minority villages. The ancient village is situated in Jingmai Mountain, Lancang County, Pu'er City, on the southwestern border of Yunnan. The itinerary can be flexibly adjusted, with options for a compact two-day tour or a leisurely experience over several days. In terms of transportation, the nearest airport is Lancang Jingmai Airport, but flights are limited; alternatively, one can choose Pu'er Simao Airport, about a four-hour drive; Xishuangbanna Gasa Airport is more convenient, three hours away by car. If time allows, it is recommended to visit Xishuangbanna first, then rent a car to Jingmai Mountain, delving into each village. The national highway along the way is in good condition, but be mindful of the road conditions after entering the mountainous area, especially the 20-kilometer gravel road section, where one should slow down to protect the tea mountain ecology. Recommended attractions include Wengji Ancient Village and Nuogang Ancient Village. Wengji Ancient Village is predominantly inhabited by the Blang people, along with other ethnic groups. Temples and residences are adjacent, with a strong commercial atmosphere. The enthusiastic residents will invite visitors to taste tea, and the unique shops make one feel the ancient village's breeze and slow-paced life. Nuogang Ancient Village is a Dai ethnic village with a light commercial atmosphere and simple and enthusiastic residents. Here one can taste local specialty teas, listen to residents tell cultural stories, and experience the original charm of the ancient village. The sea of clouds, sunrise, and sunset on Jingmai Mountain are all stunningly beautiful. If the weather is clear, it will surely amaze. When taking photos, it is recommended to choose early morning or evening when the light is soft, and the smoky villages are more evocative. For accommodation, one can choose to stay in the villages of Wengji or Jingmai Dazhai, or in Lancang County or Huimin Town, and drive up the mountain early in the morning. Tea Villa Hotel at the foot of Jingmai Mountain is recommended for its tranquil environment and attentive service. In the future, there will also be a cluster of high-end hotels like Aman around Huimin Town. Local cuisine is dominated by Dai and Blang flavors, with Dai dishes being sour and spicy, while Blang cuisine is more fragrant and spicy. Blang home cooking and Menghai barbecue on Jingmai Mountain are both cost-effective choices, with an average cost of about 50 yuan per person. After leaving Jingmai Mountain, one will surely reminisce about the experience, believing that they will set foot on this beautiful land many times in the future. This place will definitely make your trip worthwhile!

Jingmai Mountain | Mengben Dai Village
Jingmai Mountain | Mengben Dai Village ❥ Mengben is adjacent to Manggeng Village, and the village layout is similar. It is also a Dai settlement, with the village architecture descending from south to north. The temple in Mengben Village (Golden Pagoda Temple) is separate from the village center, and the village buildings are arranged around the village center. In fact, Mengben Village was established first, and Manggeng was later separated from Mengben. ❥ Mengben Village is composed of one social group, with attractions such as the Dai village, Golden Pagoda, Thousand-Handed Guanyin, Three Trees, and Jingmai Impressions. It is a tourist village in Jingmai Mountain, focusing on developing village Buddhist cultural tourism. In this original Dai village, every family grows tea, and every household makes tea. Tea is like the blood flowing in their veins here. ❥ On the road entering Mengben Village, there are three ancient banyan trees, which represent the story of three elders, the tea planting history of three ethnic groups, and the symbol of harmony and unity among the three ethnic groups. It is said that the Dai and Bulang ethnic groups had a conflict over an inconspicuous piece of land on the tea mountain, which even led to a fight. With the mediation of the Lahu ethnic group leader, they swore a blood oath to become sworn brothers and vowed to be united forever. To ensure that future generations remember this history, the three leaders planted three banyan trees as a testament to their eternal unity. This touching millennium-old story is still told today. ➠ Geographic location: Located in Jingmai Village, Huimin Township, Lancang Lahu Autonomous County, Pu'er, Yunnan.
Hidden Peaceful Place | Yunnan Nuogan Ancient Village
| Yunnan Nuogan Ancient Village. If one day, your life is eroded by the hustle and bustle of the city. Would you be willing to seek the strength of the distant mountains? Experience the ecological culture of the ancient village. Take advantage of the fact that Nuogan, this unpopular ancient village, has not yet become popular, and feel its original charm. Travel Guide Nuogan Ancient Village Highlights: 1. The ancient village is currently free to visit, but with the successful application of Jingmai Mountain for World Heritage status, it may be turned into a paid scenic spot in the future, so be sure to visit as soon as possible. The current Nuogan and Wengji villages retain a good original ecology, without being overdeveloped, this simple feeling is precious. 2. The original and simple old village is located among the ancient tea gardens, and the village is surrounded by ancient tea gardens. Most families in the village make a living by planting tea. They have been planting tea for generations, simple and kind. 3. The architectural style of the houses is unique, mainly traditional earth-wood structures, with strong local characteristics. Among them, the traditional residences in the heart of the village are well preserved and are a good place for tourists to understand the local Dai culture. Climbing up to the viewing platform halfway up the mountain to overlook the entire village is very beautiful and photogenic. Perhaps only by flying a drone in Wengji can you see a good bird's eye view. In Nuogan, you can have a good view from the viewing platform or the temple in the village. Traffic conditions: The whole journey is very good, a short section of the highway was taken at the beginning, and the national highway is also OK after getting off the highway. After entering the gate of Jingmai Mountain, the road is paved with stones. Although it is a bit like a washboard, there are no pits on the road. After a long drive, your hands may feel a bit numb, but everything else is fine. Accommodation recommendation: Inside the ancient village, there are not many homestays and inns. Jingmai Dazhai and Wengji Ancient Village have more accommodation options. We chose to stay in Wengji, and the two villages are only a few kilometers apart by car. Food recommendation: In Nuogan Ancient Village, there are local restaurants opened by villagers, but we did not dine in the ancient village, so we cannot recommend specific restaurants. However, we drank local roasted milk tea in the ancient village, which is very mellow and rich. You must try it. You can also participate in roasting milk tea yourself, which is a great experience. Watching the sea of clouds: On the way up the mountain, you will see a viewing platform. We watched the sunrise over the sea of clouds here. The sunrise was at 8:00 that day, and we set off from the village at seven, and waited for half an hour when we arrived. Judging by the journey, it is almost half an hour ahead of departure from Nuogan. There are other places to watch the sea of clouds (Dajinta), according to the owner of the homestay, Dajinta can only see the sea of clouds, not the sunrise. We are not sure whether we can see it or not, because we did not go to Dajinta.

There is a popular internet-famous coffee shop here, as well as a small square where a few villagers sell tea. They warmly invite you to drink tea, and it's okay not to buy.
