Come to Zhengying Village, a small ancient village in Yunnan, to experience the beauty of ancient buildings

Travel to Shiping On the way, we went to an ancient village with a history of more than 600 years - Zhengying Village, known as the "No. 1 Village in Yunnan", which is famous for preserving many complete ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. 🌳 Ancient Village Features: The most distinctive feature is the ancient buildings preserved in the village. Even though we have seen Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings in many places But when I came to Zhengying Village We were especially shocked by the scale and exquisiteness of the Chen and Zheng clan ancestral halls. It is said that there are 403 courtyard houses in the village, 28 of which are intact. 🏚Must-check in at the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall and the Zheng Clan Ancestral Hall Two places are large in scale Exquisite wood carvings for architectural decoration The whole building is very symmetrical Walking inside is simple and elegant, time is long ✅️The layout of the ancient village "three streets and nine alleys" It has been preserved since the village was built. Walking in Zhengying Village, it seems as if time has slowed down Feel the unique history, culture and scenery Every blade of grass here Every brick and tile tells an ancient story. 📍Zhengying Village Located in Shiping County, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province Shiping Ancient Town is 11 km away No tickets, free admission 🔆tips: ✅️Although it has a long history, it is very small and has few tourists! You can take a leisurely walk in the village! ✅️There is almost no business in the village, only locals live there ✅️The specialty here is hairy crabs. I didn't get to eat them when I went there because it was not in season. ✅️The village is not big, so you can plan about 2 hours to visit it. You must especially visit the Zheng Clan Ancestral Hall and the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall.

Shiping Old Street

Shípíng (石屏) is an ancient town in the Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture in southeastern Yunnan, about 240 km (150 miles) from Kunming, the provincial capital. The stone-paved streets are really pretty, and the local tofu with all kinds of mushrooms is delicious (though some of the wild mushrooms can be poisonous, so you have to be careful!). I stayed in a guesthouse that was built in a 300-year-old traditional house—it was such a cozy place to relax. The courtyard there was especially nice, perfect for sitting down with a cup of tea.

Yilong Lake (异龙湖) in 石屏 is a beautiful spot where you could easily spend the whole day strolling around. It’s a large freshwater lake in Shiping County, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan, with a surface area of about 32 square kilometers (12 sq mi). The scenery is stunning, especially when the colorful lotus flowers are in bloom. The lake reflects the blue sky like a giant mirror, creating a calm and peaceful vibe. It’s also a great place to hit your 10,000 steps on your tracker, and the sunsets are really pretty. It’s definitely worth visiting twice—once in the morning and again in the evening (but best to skip noon time).
