Guangming Village (Yangbi)
漾濞光明村
A Yi village on the western slopes of Cang Mountain with thousand-year-old walnut groves, where whitewashed guesthouses and cafés on the hillside have made it a popular offbeat destination in recent years.
Guangming Village lies in Cangxi Town, Yangbi County, on the western slopes of Cang Mountain. The village has walnut trees more than a thousand years old. Yi and Han villagers have grown walnuts here for generations. In recent years, a number of design-led guesthouses, cafés and walnut-themed farmhouse restaurants have opened, and the village is known as the "Peach Blossom Land behind Cang Mountain". You can stroll through the walnut groves and enjoy coffee, and in August and September you can take part in walnut harvesting. It is about 1 hour's drive from Dali Old Town via the Dayang Expressway, with many mountain roads along the way. It is recommended to book a guesthouse and spend a night in this tranquil mountain village.
