Nujiang｜Captured the photo of a lifetime in an ancient village!!!

In northwest Yunnan, there is a super off-the-beaten-path but highly worthwhile route — the Nujiang Luoguqing Dayangchang hiking trail🏕️ On this hiking trail, you can see primeval forests, alpine meadows, 🌸flower seas with cattle and sheep, colorful Danxia landforms, steep cliffs… and you might even spot the protected golden snub-nosed monkey🐒 There are different hiking distances to choose from based on your condition: 5KM / 12KM / 24KM, each offering different scenery. The 5KM route is low intensity, suitable for a family leisure hike, and leads to the local Pumi ethnic group's sacred Mother Tree. 🏕️For the hike, we will stay in Luoguqing Village — Shujiawuxiang Luoguqing Hiking Homestay, a village with very low commercialization. This village is home to the little-known Pumi ethnic group. Their wooden log houses use wood as tiles and are built near pastures. It is said the Pumi are descendants of the ancient White Wolf Kingdom, full of mysterious and ancient vibes. But here you can also experience down-to-earth ethnic life. Generations of simple Pumi people live here, still preserving ancient customs like fire altar rituals and mountain god worship. Villagers still wear traditional ethnic clothing, full of ethnic beauty. They farm and herd in the most primitive ways, backed by green mountains, stacking wood as tiles, surrounded by mist all day long. It feels as if time has stopped here👣 📌Tips: ✔️ Group packages available with round-trip transportation from Lijiang to Luoguqing🚙 ✔️ Hiking altitude is around 2400 meters, avoid intense exercise ✔️ Prepare cash in advance💰 ✔️ Prepare hiking gear in advance, such as hiking shoes and jackets
