Nuodeng village, rare collection of Bai ancient buildings

In late autumn, visitors to Nuodeng village are surely enchanted by its peaceful sight. Photos taken on October 30, 2020 show architectures featuring Bai ethnic group style in the Nuodeng village, northwest Yunnan's Yunlong county. 

The village, located in a valley to the north of Yunlong county seat, reserves numerous ancient buildings and cultural heritages of the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. Over 200 families of Bai ethnic group reside in the ancient village. 

Nuodeng village used to be a commercial hub along the Ancient Tea Horse Road in western Yunnan province due to its salt industry. Now, it has been turned into a unique sight for rural tourism, with its attractions involving salt wells, old temples and Bai ethnic customs. Pickled ham in Nuodeng is the dish that visitors are not willing to miss.
