Reluctant to share, this obscure ancient village in Yunnan has almost zero tourists

Reluctant to share, this obscure ancient village in Yunnan has almost zero tourists. 🌲In my mind, the most niche village in Yunnan is not in Dali or Lijiang, but hidden deep in the Nujiang valley, only a 2h drive from these two popular spots, in a village called 'Luoguqing'. . 🏔This is an ancient Pumi village surrounded by green mountains and ancient trees. If you don't look for it on purpose, you will really miss this isolated utopia. Traditional wooden houses are stacked layer upon layer, with fields and cornfields 🌽 everywhere. Every household still wears traditional Pumi costumes, speaks Pumi language, and shows a simple and kind smile to strangers. . Behind the village, there is a large alpine meadow, 🐏🐏 herds of cattle and sheep graze here, the spruce trees are lush, wildflowers are everywhere, log cabins, shepherds, it's like a scene from a fairy tale world. . 👬There is also a less-known hiking route in Northwest Yunnan — the 24KM Luoguqing Big Sheep Farm trekking route. You can see primeval forests, alpine Danxia, meadows and pastures, and in May-June, there is a sea of azaleas all over the mountains. The highest point is over three thousand meters, which is also suitable for beginners to challenge. And since it's still niche and not many people know about it, the hiking experience is more pure. . 📍Self-driving navigation location: Lanping Luoguqing, Nujiang. . ‼️Tips 1⃣Departing from Lijiang or Dali, half highway + half national road, it takes about 2.5h to arrive. In addition to self-driving, you can also choose to carpool in a business vehicle, which costs about 100 RMB per person from both Lijiang and Dali. 2⃣In the village, there is a newly opened hiking-themed homestay Nujiang·Shujia Wuxiang. The rooms are distributed among Pumi households, but the hardware and design are very aesthetic, and every window offers a view. The accommodation includes guided hiking, bonfire jumping, Pumi home visits, etc. 3⃣In ethnic minority areas, please respect local beliefs
