The ancient city of Dali is ancient

That's right! But that was the first time

So, you know

there is such a place

still retains the complete

Ancient Nanzhao Period

All the legacy?

I don't know. It doesn't matter.

Let's take a look at the photo below first

Quiet family

The breath of tranquility

picturesque scenery

This is where we're going today.

Zhuomulang Village

It is in Dali Prefecture

And not far from the ancient city of Dali

In fact, it is a lonely village

Hiding alone among the mountains

I know that many people

Maybe it's the first time

hearing this name

Because it is not open to traffic all year round

So few people know about it

but it is such

so that it can be preserved

The most traditional Yi style during the Nanzhao period

A mysterious and moving village

Located in the mountains and forests at an altitude of 2000 meters

Not only surrounded by clouds,

There is also the ancient Nanzhao culture

Because it is difficult to reach, it is precious

Because he avoids the world, it is more simple

Dali is a place that needs to be experienced slowly

And Zhumulang Village needs to be carefully tasted

Walking into the village, they are everywhere

A woman in old costumes

Don't get me wrong! This is not to welcome you

And the special dress

This is how they dress on weekdays

I heard that this is a legacy of Nanzhao court costumes

Because of this, this Yi village

is also known as"The Last Tribe of Nanzhao"

Zhumulang Village in Summer

It's the most tempting

Needless to say, a perfect summer vacation

The scenery of a fairyland on earth

There is nothing to say

In the morning light, look at the mountains

Surrounded by clouds and mist, it seems like a shadow appears

It's like a magnificent palace in the fairy world

Wait until the white mist becomes thinner

Layer upon layer of terraced fields, century-old trees

Just like a young girl in a boudoir

Shyly enter people's vision

Wait until the clouds clear

Traditional houses in Zhumulang Village

Match it with beautiful national costumes

Coupled with the mules and horses bowing their heads and moving forward

The entire village exudes

An ancient scene that only existed in the ancient Nanzhao State

If the harvest comes

Every household in the village will still be there

Build a high corn rack in front of the door

Although the village has a strong legacy of Nanzhao

But the simple and enthusiastic Yi compatriots

It does not exclude the occasional outsiders

In ordinary days

Neighbors in the village

It looks even more casual and simple

And children in the neighborhood

This is how eating is

The woman from Zhumulang Village

Always on the road to labor

Just after finishing the farm work, I picked it up again

Insoles and clothes beside the table

Weaving in the flying needle

A happy and comfortable life

Although they are far away from the downtown area, the Chuculang people have always continued their pure characteristic culture.

④ Playing song festivals

The Yi folk music in Zhumulang Village is very local. The Yi people will "sing" every wedding, funeral, and festival ceremony. At least three to five people danced on the ridge of the field, and at most a hundred people sang and danced spectacularly around the bonfire. Dates for the Dagge Festival: the first day to the 15th day of the first lunar month, the 8th day of the second lunar month (the Year of the Yi nationality), the Torch Festival on the 24th day of the sixth lunar month, the Ancestral Sacrifice Festival on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, and the Reunion Festival on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month.

④ Year of the Yi People

Yi New Year's Day is called "Kushi" in Yi language, which means New Year. On the first day after the New Year, every home must be cleaned and cleaned, and then grass and pine needles should be spread in the house, symbolizing longevity. On the 8th day of the second month of the lunar calendar, a bonfire will be lit in the village, and everyone will gather in a group to sing and dance. There will also be festival activities such as blind date, wrestling, and artillery wrestling to add to the fun.

④ Torch Festival

Torch Festival is one of the most important festivals of the Yi people. It can be said to be the "carnival of the East." On the 24th of the June month of the lunar calendar, the Yi people build firewood piles on the flat ground, light bonfires at night, set off fireworks, and welcome the scenery with dance and singing.

After saying so much, I seem to have forgotten to give me the way to go. Don't worry, keep looking down!

Where is TA?

What about it?

There is no shuttle bus in Zhumulang Village. You can take a direct shuttle bus from Dali (Xiaguan) to Weishan (Xiaguan North Railway Station has a shuttle bus to Weishan every 15 minutes), and get off at Dacang Town on the way (get off here! Get off here!! Get off here!! I have said important things three times, but if I still sit down and stand still, I don't blame Xiaobian). After getting off the bus in Dacang Town, there is no shuttle bus that goes to Zhumulang Village, so you have to charter a van from Dacang Town to Zhumulang. The journey is 18 kilometers. The road conditions are poor along dirt roads and mountain roads (now I know why few people know about this paradise!) (The cost of chartering a car is generally around 100 - 150 yuan); of course, self-driving is also feasible (it would be possible to have better driving skills! There are many mountain roads and dirt roads, so I think it is more suitable for you to sit in the passenger seat for those who use the accelerator as a brake.)

Maybe you also want to know these:

accommodation

Zhumulang Village has not been developed, and the accommodation is mainly to stay at the homes of local villagers, which is about 100 yuan a day.

language

The locals do not speak Chinese (some children can speak a little), and communication requires patience.

travel weather

Once again, the traffic here is really underdeveloped, and it is not too much to call it a paradise, so pay attention to safety on the road (It's best not to go on rainy days）。

Clothing characteristics

The national costumes in Zhumulang Village are different from the simplicity and simplicity of other areas. Most of the costumes here are mainly red and green, coupled with colorful patterns.

Special food

Hidden deep in the mountains is not only the unpolluted paradise life, but also the pure natural mountain game. Even without gorgeous cooking methods and various seasonings, the original flavor here is enough to satisfy your taste buds. (I highly recommend tartary buckwheat cake, rice blood, tuotuo meat, and grilled meat bait silk)
