Reverse travel! A hidden mountain town that is both unpopular and niche

❤Recommendation reason: Nuodeng is a small and charming mountain town in Yunnan. The houses here are stacked up and built on the mountain. It is a Bai village with a thousand-year history. It is the origin of the ham in Tongue Tip and an important town on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road. The ancient house at the entrance of the village is a thousand-year-old salt well. About Nuodeng: The village is small and can be visited in one day, but it is recommended to stay for two more days if you have time. The whole village is built on the mountain, so the roads in the village are uphill and downhill. Items need to be transported by mule or horse 🐴 The B&Bs in the village are all very beautiful. It's really nice to find one you like and stay there for two days to have a quiet stroll. You must go to the viewing platform at the entrance of the village. The afternoon light shining on the village houses is really beautiful. You must try the Nuodeng ham that was featured on A Bite of China. You can also go and see how the salt and air-dried ham are made in Dongcun. The Jade Emperor Pavilion is located at the top of the mountain in the village. It is an ancient building complex with an ancient caisson. ✅Must experience: Ancient Salt Well, Observation Deck (where you can take panoramic photos of the village), Jade Emperor Pavilion Complex, East Village, Daqing Tree 🏨Hotel environment: Nuoyan Garden B&B, Wilderness Luxury B&B, Daqingshu Inn, Hemerocallis B&B 🚉Transportation strategy: No public transportation 3 hours (200km) self-driving from Dali, chartered car - around 600 Carpooling: 73/person Unlock holiday selfie backgrounds
