Is the rebuilt Wengding Village worth visiting?

Conclusion: Yes, it is! ❗️ 👉 It is remote, so there are not many tourists. It is not very commercialized, and the village retains its original appearance. The Wa people are mysterious, and the ticket is good value for money. 👉 Wengding Village is the last primitive tribe in China, located in Cangyuan County, a small border town in Yunnan Province. Unfortunately, I only noticed it when the fire broke out. I thought such a beautiful and primitive village had disappeared, but a few months later, it reappeared before our eyes, rebuilt on the original site with the same materials. ❗️ 👉 Since there is no highway to Cangyuan County, the mountain roads are winding, and the road to Wengding is even more winding. It is indeed difficult to reach here, so even during the long Lunar New Year holiday, there are not many tourists. ❗️ Try to stay in Cangyuan County or Gengma County one day in advance, and arrive at Wengding in the morning. I have tested it, and there are fewer tourists in the morning. 🎫 Ticket: CNY 53/person (including ticket and round-trip sightseeing bus) 👉 Free experiences: performances, Wa cuisine chicken rice, 🍶, and various traditional crafts 💰 Paid experiences: Wa face painting (CNY 20/person, highly recommended, a rare experience), costume rental (CNY 50/adult, CNY 30/child), paid meals, special souvenirs, etc. 💡 Other tips: If you are also a photography enthusiast like me, it is best to allow at least 3 hours, as every corner is photogenic! Bring a drone for a different perspective.
