The ginkgo trees in Ginkgo Village are hidden in the mountains and appear among the smoke of the farm. Their age makes this small village look simple and profound.
According to research, the history of Ginkgo Village can be traced back to the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. The army brought ginkgo seeds from Yunnan from the Central Plains. Passed down from generation to generation, over time, hundreds of years of brewing, it has formed the scale of today, and finally constructed a beautiful fairy tale world.
Ginkgo Village is just a representative of the colorful autumn scenery. The unique hot and humid climate makes the ginkgo trees tall and straight, with a long life span. After the autumn wind, the yellow apricot leaves can hang on the strips for more than two months.
Strolling on the trails in the village, the nostrils are filled with fragrance. The black and honeycomb volcanic stones are piled up with a winding wall, which is very unique. One end of the wall is a simple wooden door. Ginkgo trees also have young seedlings planted year by year by later generations, which are uneven and have various colors.
The villagers of Ginkgo Village are a group of interesting people. Some small details make this place so cute and lovely. The old lady in the village will also collect fallen leaves and string them into strings of ginkgo "garlands" to sell to young and beautiful women. girls.
Ginkgo Village in the evening is quiet and serene, except for the occasional dog barking and cock crowing, only the rustling of feet on the soft ginkgo leaves.
Strolling in Ginkgo Village, you can see everywhere, the path, the wall, and the front and back of the house are all golden.
In the blue sky, the sun shines on the roof through the gaps in the ginkgo leaves, and the smell of the soil penetrates into your nose. A gust of wind blew away a few leaves, which fluttered in the air and refused to fall.
Picking up a piece casually, the conspicuous golden veins seem to still retain the temperature of the sun. Carefully rubbed, soft and tough, just like the protagonist in a fairy tale. I couldn't help picking a leaf with a complete shape, thinking about taking it back to make a bookmark and put it in the book, so that it would not be considered as disappointing the beauty of this leaf.
Drunk in the world of mortals, yellow in late autumn!
In autumn, immersed in the embrace of the autumn sun, the smell of autumn is getting stronger, the wind is getting cooler, and the yellow is getting deeper. Return your body and mind to the clear mountains and rivers, and enjoy the autumn scenery slowly.
Falling leaves know autumn, and falling frost knows coldness. If it is said that the autumn wind gives autumn colors, then ginkgo is the most gorgeous one under the sun.
Stepping on the golden fallen leaves all over the ground, walking in the forest with mottled light and shadow, with the warm sunshine and the love around you, the scenery must be indescribably beautiful. Here is a quiet autumn scene like a paradise; here is a golden dream in winter.
The earthen houses built of yellow mud are covered with black tiles, dry corn cobs are hung on the beams, and ginkgo trees are planted in front of every house. Some trees are hundreds of years old, and the village has been accompanied by ginkgo for generations. They have witnessed the long history of this ancient village.
Tired from walking, I chose a small courtyard to sit down. If I didn’t pay attention, I couldn’t see the tables and chairs covered with thick leaves. They were all the same. I pushed the fallen leaves off the table and ordered a pot of farm tea to drink slowly. , or simply don't push it away, the smell of soil and plants is all over the nostrils, and you can feel the simplicity and depth of this small village when you calm down.
The left hand is life tea, the right hand is wine today.
Perseverance is a belief, and hard work is a long-cherished wish. May we all have a beautiful company, and our dreams can bloom into petals. May every day of our years be safe and sound!
Here, you can have fun as much as you want, because in the pure and beautiful fairy tale world, there will never be troubles! In the fairy tale world, it is always easy to lose yourself, but here, you will still find the direction you want in the lost.
I stayed at the Ginkgo Village Inn at night. There were several century-old ginkgo trees in the courtyard. Unfortunately, we came a week late and all the leaves fell off, leaving only a golden place. The proprietress told us that the best time to appreciate ginkgo is from November 20th to 30th. In fact, it's not bad to wear golden armor all over the city.
For dinner, I ordered stewed chicken with ginkgo fruit, scrambled eggs with ginkgo flowers, and stir-fried local small squash. It was very interesting to dine under the ginkgo tree in the yard.
There is also a special local dish here, which is actually fried bait cubes. It is said that in the early Qing Dynasty, Emperor Yongli of the Ming Dynasty fled to the west of Yunnan to avoid the pursuit of the Qing army. He was so hungry that he found a place to rest and eat it When the fried bait was served, the emperor said, "The fried bait saved my lord!", hence the name.
If you walk into any small farmyard in the morning and spend a few yuan, you can eat a bowl of hot shredded bait. The taste is delicate and tough, and it will last for a long time. It is delicious when served with fresh vegetables and meat.
The villagers of Ginkgo Village have continued the natural style and retained the original nature of human nature. With their kindness, enthusiasm and hospitality, the waves of tourists who come here are deeply remembered in their hearts!
Some people have said that if you miss the ginkgo, you will miss the autumn. If you only have the chance to see the ginkgo once in your life, then I choose to go to Tengchong Ginkgo Village, a quaint village with yellow waves. The small village under the remaining photo is golden, and the yellow leaves on the branches are twinkling in the breeze, illuminating the green mountains of Gaoligong Mountain.
The sound of trees in autumn, the cold colors of mountains, Tengchong Ginkgo Village, it must be a place you will visit once in your life.
