I don't have too many rules and regulations in my travels, I don't follow in the footsteps of others, and I don't give up other places I want to go just to take a look at popular attractions, so many psychological burdens will not exist. This kind of journey always makes me more Cherish your encounters, after all, unexpected encounters are always so exciting.
After coming out of Pu’er City, I headed all the way to the Mojiang River, shuttling through the mountains along the way, and the beauty of nature never repeats. The scenery in the deep mountains of Yunnan is different from other places, and I can always feel a sense of Warm yet rustic atmosphere. I thought I would just enjoy the scenery like this, and go to Mojiang to have dinner at night to end the day, but I didn't expect to meet Na Keli!
Nakeli, a village hidden in the deep mountains of Pu'er, Yunnan, is located in Tongxin Town, Ning'er Hani and Yi Autonomous County, with nearly 300 people in the village. When I first arrived here, there were no other tourists, only a few women from the village set up a stall at the entrance of the village, selling the local specialty snack Ciba, which was deserted and quiet.
Nakeli is an important station on the world-famous Ancient Tea-Horse Road. Today, the big stone at the entrance of the village is still engraved with a schematic diagram of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road. Of course, you still have to walk into the village to feel the charm of Nakeli. Surrounded by mountains, the village is surrounded by verdant forests, and the village is like a world forgotten by time.
There are still too many original things and traces here. It has a kind of magic that attracts me to go deep into the village. Everything around me gives me the illusion of time travel. Nakeli is a mixed-ethnic village, where Yi, Hani, Dai, Han and other ethnic groups live. Walking in here in the afternoon, you can still see the neighbors chatting around, looking like a quiet time.
The simplicity of this ancient tea-horse road post station is not just talk, because it still preserves relatively well-preserved ruins of the ancient tea-horse road, as well as historical relics such as horse lanterns and horse drinking stone troughs used by caravans, which have a long history and profound Tea Horse Road Culture. History is no longer far away here, but within reach.
Strolling through the village, I couldn't hide my liking. Comfortable climate, mild sunshine, vines covering the walls, stone roads worn by time, native chickens foraging, flowers blooming in front of the door, fields full of vegetables, gurgling streams, familiar dogs barking ...Nothing is superfluous, no sound is abrupt, all I have to do is feel with my heart.
Nakeli, formerly known as "Makuli". According to legend, caravans passing through here must rest overnight at the Rongfa horse shop in Nakeli. Caravans entering and leaving the Rongfa horse shop must wade across a small river in front of the horse shop. Tired horses will shed in the cool water. Sad tears, hence the name "horse crying". Ma Guotou, who regards horses as his life, wrote to the government several times, and the government fulfilled Ma Guotou's wish and built a "Wind and Rain Bridge" with a length of more than 20 meters and five grids. That Curry".
"Nakeli" is taken from the pronunciation of the Dai language. The meaning of these words: "Na" is the field, "Ke" is the bridge, and "Li" is good. When combined together, it means fertile land, small bridges and flowing water. Ideal home. When I walked on this wind and rain covered bridge, I unconsciously wanted to sit down, listen to the gurgling stream, listen to the wind blowing in the bamboo forest, listen to the chirping of birds, watch the smoke from the kitchen... and enjoy the beauty brought by travel.
Next to the Fengyu Bridge, there are two cake-shaped things like this. I was curious and chatted with the aunt in the village for a long time, but I still can’t remember the name of this thing. Do you know what it is?
Opposite the entrance of the village, there is still a stream, which spans the millennium bridge. The huge waterwheel is slowly turning under the impetus of the stream. I can stand aside and watch it for a long time. It is really pleasant to be in such a beautiful environment. It is inevitable that time will be forgotten.
This wobbly wooden cable bridge is suspended above the stream, and it will sway non-stop when I go up. I was resisting all over my body, but I forced myself to challenge once, and ran over while screaming. Along the plank road by the river, I can walk along the direction of the river for a long time and enjoy the surrounding mountains.
Nakeli, a small mountain village that has not been over-developed and has a primitive appearance. Looking for a quiet afternoon, step into the water and soil hidden in the deep mountains like me, and go deep into the ancient tea-horse road culture and ethnic customs and culture among bridges, streams, plants and trees, maybe, you will also find what you want The simplicity that yearns for. Would you like such a small mountain village?
