Yunlong County

Nuodeng, an ancient salt-well village with a thousand years of history, and the Bi River's "Tai Chi diagram" are hidden village treasures deep in the mountains of western Yunnan.

Yunlong County lies in western Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, where the Lancang (Mekong) River and its tributary the Bi River run through high mountains and deep valleys. The most representative site is the ancient village of Nuodeng, which prospered on salt and preserves many Ming and Qing Bai houses, salt wells and old temples; Nuodeng ham is also quite famous. The Bi River winds through the county to form a "natural Tai Chi diagram." It can be visited year-round, though the dry winter and spring are best. Most visitors come by road from Dali; tourism is not heavily developed.
