Mohei Ancient Town
磨黑古镇
A town built around thousand-year-old salt wells in northern Ninger, with a Peacock Screen section of the Tea Horse Road nearby and salt heritage in its old streets.
Mohei Town lies in the northern part of Ninger County. It grew prosperous because of its salt wells, and since ancient times it has been an important salt-producing site in southern Yunnan and a must-pass point on the Tea Horse Road. The town preserves its salt wells, old streets and some old houses. Nearby are Tea Horse Road relics, including the Peacock Screen and Chaan Tang sections. The old town is not heavily commercialized and has a strong local atmosphere, making it a good detour for visitors who love old towns and ancient roads. It is about 20 km from Ninger county seat and can be combined with a visit to Kunlushan Tea Garden on the same day.
