The centuries-old Chengzi Village in Yunnan features thousands of stacked earthen houses, standing strong through time while preserving its primitive charm!

|||Depart from Kunming and arrive. A May Day trip in reverse, this small city in Yunnan is super relaxing with good food, shopping and fun! |||Starting from Kunming, we arrived at Mile to taste delicious food and soak in hot springs, and then went to the ancient village of Chengzi in Luxi, which is known as the "Little Potala Palace in Yunnan". Villagers drove buffaloes slowly through the village entrance, and the winding stream flowed quietly. This ancient village like a paradise on earth makes people peaceful and tranquil~ Drive for 50 minutes from Chengzi Ancient Town to Luxi County. Sit around the barbecue grill in the evening and enjoy the roasted potatoes surrounded by dozens of seasonings. How happy! 🚗Route itinerary: Day① Various places—Kunming (stay overnight) The detailed guide to Kunming has been sorted out in Aqi's notes, so I won't go into details here~ Day②&③Kunming—Mile (stay overnight) In the morning, drive from Kunming to Mile for 1.5 hours. In Mile, you can visit Dongfengyun, Taiping Lake Forest Park, Dianxi River Wetland, Jinping Mountain, and Huquan Ecological Park (suitable for strolling, enjoying the breeze and watching the sunset). 📢The detailed guide to Mile has been organized in the homepage notes~ Mile Food: ① Yongshan Food, with huge portions, a local family restaurant.

23rd Spring Festival Self-driving Tour in Xishuangbanna It takes about an hour to drive from Mile. We made a special detour to the ancient village of Chengzi Ancient Village. This is a very niche place with very few tourists (no fees were charged when we went there, I don’t know if it is still the same now). It has not been commercially developed and retains its original flavor. We embarked on this journey just to explore the mystery of [Chin]. The road leading to the village is not particularly easy to walk, but you won’t regret it if you come! This village was first built in the Qing Dynasty. It is rare that it has been preserved with hundreds of years of history! Chengzi Ancient Village is the most distinctive ancient village landscape in Yunnan that combines Yi and Han cultures. It has unique earthen houses with huge scale. The village is built on the mountain, with layers upon layers in a staggered manner. The roof of your house is the balcony of my house, and the houses are adjacent to each other on the left and right, and every house is connected. This peculiar structure is really super spectacular! Walking into the village, it feels like being in a paradise. The prosperity and hustle and bustle of the city fade away, and what is left is a breath of nostalgia! If you come in spring, the rape flowers, peach flowers and pear flowers will all be in bloom; if you come in autumn, the rice fields will be golden; the scenery must be beautiful!

Chengzi Village is located 25 km south of Luxi County, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province. The village was built more than 300 years ago. It is built on a mountain and is a contiguous area of Yi and Han-style earth houses (tuzhang houses). The houses are connected by wooden ladders, and the platforms of each household are interconnected. Entering one house allows you to access the entire village. From a distance, the village is layered and resembles the Potala Palace. Chengzi Village is both a village and a city. The village has 204 people, and the city has Jiangxi Street, General's Mansion, Sister Wall, and the expensive yamen of the Tusi Prefecture. At the foot of the mountain, there is a towering city wall, a wide moat outside the city wall, and a three-hole bridge (originally a suspension bridge) leading into the city. There are artillery and gun positions on the east gate tower, which were originally guarded by soldiers from the Tusi Prefecture. This group of earth houses has withstood many wars and invasions over the past 300 years but has never been breached. The most interesting thing for tourists in Chengzi Village is to walk on the rooftops and enjoy the view, or to wander in the fields and look up at the village.

🔸Vienna is as comfortable as ever. A new hotel opening in 2024, located in the central business district of the county, offers an excellent experience. 👍 There's a small bar downstairs, and across the street, there are a variety of snacks. 👍 🔸The details are well thought out, with the addition of a smart toilet from the Xima brand. I checked online, and it's a big brand. 👍 The staff are very patient and deserve praise. ❗️❗️

✅️ Staying for 10 days in a row, I don’t need to tell you what happened~ There was a queue of 80 for the car wash outside during the Chinese New Year. On the first day I arrived, I caught up with the boss washing the car in the yard. I thought the hotel had free car washing, so I told the boss lady, but she didn’t say anything. We had someone wash the car for us. After washing it, we found out that they were just washing the car themselves. They were worried that we, who were from out of town, would be lonely outside during the Chinese New Year. They asked us to go out for dinner. When we got the call, we were stunned. We didn’t react and asked blankly. Why, people say, because "We Yunnan people are so hospitable." Even the most horrified person can't help but rush to a party that is rare to find. Being invited to a local family dinner during the trip is the luckiest thing ever!! The whole party showed off a lot of local food and was toasted all the time. It can be said that I was very happy and let myself go ☺️☺️ ~The boss’s sister also told us about a bitter family past. Unexpectedly, behind success and happiness, there is such an unforgettable experience. Anyone who hears it will be shocked and can’t help but be moved. ✅️ Today’s life is really not easy, and it is inseparable from the unity and progress of the family. People in Yunnan eat mushrooms, live in the mountains, and love to dance. Why are they not elves? Come to Yunnan, come to Luxi, come to Jinfeng~the scenery may be the same They all exist, this is the only one with interesting souls😭😭

1⃣ At the front desk, I met the waiter who was enthusiastic and professional. They were very helpful with my inquiries about food and attractions. Thank you very much!❗️❗️ 2⃣ The hotel's decoration details are very good, very grand, clean and hygienic, and the mattress is comfortable. 3⃣ The room has no odor at all 🌟 The shower water is strong 👍 The breakfast has a variety of options and the quality is good ✔️ The Chinese food on the 4th floor ✔️ The dishes are great, the service is in place ✔️ Very good!
