The only fossil village in China, the New Year atmosphere of Laoxudian Village in Shiping, Yunnan!

During the New Year, visit the only fossil village in China, Laoxudian Village in Shiping, Yunnan, for a unique experience! Laoxudian is called "Luosuo Da" in the Yi language, which means a place with "Luosuo trees." This village is particularly magical, with houses, walls, and roads almost entirely built with fossils, so people jokingly call it the "most luxurious village." Upon arrival, it feels like entering a large maze made of fossils. The stone-paved road beneath your feet seems to be quietly telling stories from ancient times. The fossil-built walls have particularly clear textures, like traces left by time itself. Each wall resembles a rare fossil exhibition, with each fossil containing a piece of the past, making one marvel at the wonders of nature and how it can create such amazing things. Entering Laoxudian Village feels like stepping into an open-air fossil site. The village stretches from east to west, along the mountain, layer by layer, creating a beautiful and staggered view. The houses here are Yi-style earth houses, paired with ancient and clear fossil textures, giving a sense of solidity and solemnity. The aroma of wine and cooking smoke wafting from narrow doors and low windows adds a sense of wonder, as if stepping into a prehistoric civilization. Three hundred million years ago, this place was a dense forest. Later, a flood occurred, washing away various plants to nearby shoals. After the flood receded, piles of plant remains formed small hills on the shoals. Over time, these remains turned into fossils, and villagers used these fossils to build houses, creating the current "fossil village." If you plan to visit this village, take note. It is relatively remote, suitable for self-driving, with many curves on the road, so drive carefully. Use navigation to get there, and the attractions are free to visit, with convenient dining and accommodation options. The local cuisine is also distinctive, such as Shiping tofu, which is tender and smooth, and tastes great whether fried, stir-fried, boiled, or served cold. There are also various Yi-style grilled meats, marinated with unique spices, grilled to a sizzling perfection, and incredibly fragrant. Be sure to try them! There are also many fun places nearby, such as Shiping Ancient City, worth a visit for its ancient streets and rich historical and cultural atmosphere.
