Day8. (Nuodeng Ancient Village Yiweishan Ancient City Yi'er Seaside Xiajiyi Village) After breakfast, I played in the homestay promise garden for two hours to go down the mountain, first high-speed and then National Highway 215 over the mountain. Arrive at Weishan Ancient City at noon. Weishan Ancient City is located in the west of Yunnan, belongs to the source of the Red River, and was once the true capital of Nanzhao Kingdom. The Nanzhao Museum sees the mysterious kingdom that has existed in Chinese history for more than a hundred years, Nanzhao, how it was established and why it perished. Weishan is still the residence of the Yi and Hui ethnic groups, and the ancient city tourists have not been rubbing shoulders, and the ancient city is full of strong life of local residents. Whether the people who open shops, walk, drink tea in tea houses, or chat under the eaves on the street are all locals, there is no noise and noise, it is very quiet, and people live a calm and relaxed life. However, I heard that the annual Yi Torch Festival is very lively here.
My companion Jin Hua rushed into the store when he saw the woodcarved armored horse, selected many woodcut board prints, and sent us "Road God" and "God of Wealth"....... Said that when she got home, she would go to the and hang it on the wall. In every household in the ancient city, many doors are pasted with this carved wooden vest on both sides to ward off evil spirits.
The vendors in the ancient city were also quietly waiting to do business, and we walked through the streets and alleys, but we didn't hear the shouting. While looking for lunch, we also struggled to find a restaurant, as if the residents were eating their own meals. This is the city's own home, not just for tourists.
