Wengji Ancient Village
莉莉莉安 GWengji Ancient Village is one of the nine Shenyi Ancient Villages in Jingmai Mountain Ancient Tea Forest. I personally feel that it is also the most original ecological ancient village in Jiuzhai. The village is full of bullet stone roads. It is difficult to drive vehicles. The village has not been developed yet. There is no commercialization. Every household grows tea and makes tea. You can sit down and chat with any one you walk into. The villagers are warm and simple. They will make the best tea for you to taste. They don’t mind if you don’t buy it. There are many homestays in the stockade, all of which are opened by the villagers themselves. Of course, the conditions cannot be compared with Xinzhai. The night we went there was a power outage, and the conditions were really limited. But that is why the village has a more original taste. There is no large influx of tourists and it has become commercialized. If you have time, it is recommended to live in the village for a day or two, drink tea and chat at the villagers' house, watch the sunrise of the sea of clouds, and keep your body and mind. Experience the millennia of tea culture and simple folk customs in the ancient village.

The Old Bulang Ethnicity Village of Wenji
DD了个YIt belongs to Mangjing Village, Huimin Town, Lancang Laku Autonomous County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province. The main ethnic group is Bulang. The village was selected into the second batch of Chinese traditional villages. It is a cultural relic component of the "Jingmai Ancient Tea Garden", a national key cultural relic protection unit, and is also one of the nine traditional villages listed as the heritage elements of the "Pu'er Jingmai Mountain Ancient Tea Forest Cultural Landscape".
Wengji Village is located at the northern end of the Aileng Mountain (also known as Mangjing Mountain) mountain range. It is built according to the mountain terrain and surrounded by ancient tea forests. It is about 1,350 meters above sea level and above the fog line. According to the villagers' oral account, the layout of the five Bulang villages in Jingmai Mountain and Aileng Mountain is shaped like an elephant, and Wengji is located on the head of the elephant. "Wengji" means "to look at the hexagram" in the Bulang language. Legend has it that when the ancestors of the Bulang migrated to Jingmai Mountain, they looked at the hexagram here to choose a location for the village.
The village completely preserves the traditional pattern and historical features of the Bulang villages in Jingmai Mountain. The buildings are scattered around the center of the village along the contour line. Wengji has a village gate, and in the past, only houses were allowed to be built inside the village gate. Wengji Buddhist Temple was built on the terrace at the north end of the village. It is a place for religious activities and major festivals. It was rebuilt in 2009. The buildings in the village are all traditional stilt houses. Tradition requires that the entrance of the houses face the center of the village, and the roof of the building is parallel to the Aileng Mountain. Among them, 49 traditional stilt houses are cultural relics of the "Jingmai Ancient Tea Garden", a national key cultural relic protection unit. There are many large trees distributed around the village boundary and next to the temple, which are regarded as sacred trees for protecting the village by the villagers. The tree species include cypress, bodhi and banyan trees. The center of the village, the village gate, the Buddhist temple, traditional houses and sacred trees are all carriers of the heritage value of the traditional village of Wengji.
In recent years, with the development of society and the increase in population, new villages have been built and developed on the north and south sides of the old village.
