Fangwu Zhiwai·Abaila | Find the meaning of nature, let the city.

🎈"Tea mountain as a companion, sea of clouds sleep together". In the place where the clouds and mist gradually dissipate, it is like a bright pearl hidden in the wilderness between the mountains and the wilderness - Fangwu Zhiwai·Abaila Homestay✨. It is quietly located on the top of Jingmai Mountain, perfectly continuing the vibrant cultural tradition of the Bulang people, and cleverly integrating the aesthetics of life into the traditional dry column architecture of the Bulang people🥰. Bring people warm, natural and in-depth local service and activity experience, and strive to create an ideal community atmosphere full of ethnic culture and high-quality local cultural experience.💖 🌟The architecture of the homestay is unique, with stone tiles on the top and wooden tenons on the bottom. The 4 independent villas and 1 core courtyard are cleverly connected through the corridor. Such a settlement distribution echoes the ancient village, and the local village and homestay grow together. Staying in Abaila is not just returning to a warm home🏠, but also entering a kind village.😃 🌸Inward is history, outward is nature. From the public area to the guest room, the use of Bulang ethnic elements in different areas of the homestay corresponds to the cultural customs, historical legends and tea mountain nature of Jingmai Mountain.😍 🎊The family members who have been out for a day return to the homestay, can sit around the fire pond with their friends and relatives, listen to the Bulang singing, roast tea, warm wine, chat, and spend a different "Jingmai Night" in the enthusiasm and innocence of the Bulang people.😎 This is an unforgettable journey, which makes people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.💕

Inside the rooms, the rustic decorations and exquisite tea sets seem to narrate the stories of the tea mountains, allowing me to hear the whispers of the tea trees and feel the elegance of the tea fragrance. 🌿 In terms of food and drink, the place perfectly blends the culinary philosophies of the East and West. Each dish is made with the finest local ingredients and cooked with care, allowing one to taste the delicacies while also experiencing the profound cultural heritage of the land. 🌲 What I find most unforgettable is the 'introspection' experience here.

What is Jingmai Mountain applying for as a World Cultural Heritage site?

What is Jingmai Mountain applying for as a World Cultural Heritage site?

When you come to Jingmai Mountain, you pass through the ancient tea forest, visit Nuogan Village, see the sea of clouds in Mangbai Village, photograph the sunset in Wengji Village, drink ancient tree tea, taste tea tree leaf fried eggs, how to integrate these fragmented experiences, this question found the answer in the Jingmai Mountain Ancient Tea Forest Cultural Landscape Heritage Exhibition in Huimin Town. The Jingmai Mountain Ancient Tea Forest Cultural Landscape is a system that includes nine villages, five ancient tea forests, and three separate protective forests. With tea forests, forests, and villages as the core, it wisely distributes production, ecology, and living land. The nine villages include: Jingmai Dazhai, Mengben, Manggeng, Nuogan Laozhai Manggeng of the Dai people, Mangjing Shangzhai, Mangjing Xiazhai, Manghong, Wengji, Wengwa of the Bulang people. The exhibition includes tea tree domestication, heritage elements, tea making, tea trade, tea and faith, etc. The exhibition methods are quite diverse, for example, it also presents the biodiversity of Jingmai Mountain through the paintings donated by Mr. Zeng Xiaolian (a famous Chinese botanical painter), displays the life and festival scenes of Jingmai Mountain villages through photographs, and introduces the life of the indigenous people through daily necessities and house models. Compared to the crowd shooting the sunset in Wengji Village, there are very few people watching the exhibition. Perhaps it is because the exhibition itself is not well publicized. Among the many travel notes I have read, few mention this exhibition. If you could see this exhibition before going up the mountain, perhaps the two-day footprint on Jingmai Mountain would be more purposeful and less random. Tips: 1. The exhibition is free and there are two floors in total. It takes at least 1 hour to look carefully. The quality of the exhibition is very high. It is recommended to watch it before going up the mountain, which will help you have a comprehensive understanding of Jingmai Mountain. 2. The documentary shown in the exhibition is only open to paid tour groups, but it can be found on the website of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage. There is a Pu'er Magazine Heritage Application Issue at the front desk, which you can buy to read and supplement some information. 3. The Tea Horse Ancient Cellar next to the exhibition is a commercial project under construction, mainly to improve the chain of Pu'er tea in Jingmai Mountain from tea picking, production, storage, and sales. The design of the tea cellar is quite particular, and if you have time, it can be part of the visit for understanding.

Jingmai Mountain has five cultivated ancient tea forests

Jingmai Mountain has five cultivated ancient tea forests

Jingmai Mountain/Wengji Tribe Jingmai Mountain has five cultivated ancient tea forests, mainly distributed between altitudes of 1140-1600 meters, covering an area of over a thousand hectares. The indigenous people of Jingmai Mountain have wisely utilized the rainforest ecosystem to provide a favorable environment for the growth of tea trees, and the traditional method of planting tea under the forest has continued to this day. The Wengji is a traditional Bulang ethnic village that has preserved its original appearance. Generations of the Bulang people have lived in bamboo and wood structures. Ancient traditional houses still have Dendrobium growing on the roofs, and the eaves feature totems symbolizing the 'one bud, two leaves' of tea, reflecting the deep connection between tea and the Bulang people in the ancient Wengji Bulang village.

Jingmai Mountain is quiet and peaceful

Jingmai Mountain is quiet and peaceful

Jingmai Mountain's ancient villages are worth getting up early to visit. We first visited Nuogan Ancient Village. It was early and very quiet, and we could feel the life of the people living there. Then we went to Wengji, which was a different experience. Wengji is closer to the sea of clouds, and although it is more commercialized than Nuogan, both villages are worth visiting! In Jingmai Mountain, we experienced the culture of the local ethnic groups and the mystery of the ancient forest. We truly experienced life in the mountains, which was comfortable and relaxing! Here, we experienced the harmony and resonance between life and life
