2025 Ximeng Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

Our wish to drive to Pu'er was finally fulfilled this year. This time, in addition to visiting some niche villages, we also made a special trip to a niche destination that we had wanted to visit before - the Longmo Ye Holy Land in Ximeng. Address: Longtan Park, Ximeng County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province, China Ticket: 30 yuan "Longmoye" is pronounced in the Wa language, "dragon" means forest, and "Moye" means buffalo head, which means the sacred forest place with a cow's head hanging on it. "Longmoye" is a primitive religious sacred place full of mysterious atmosphere deep in the Awa Mountains in the Ximeng Wa Autonomous County on the border of Yunnan. Here, there are dense forests and dense grass, with clouds and mist hanging all year round. Countless buffalo skulls hang on the treetops and cliffs at the bottom of the deep valley. The Wa people who have lived in the Awa Mountains for generations believe in animistic nature worship. Since ancient times, the cow has been regarded as a sacred mascot and worship. totem. Over time, more than 3,000 "sacrificial" bull heads have been enshrined in this holy land. As a fan of "Ghost Blowing Lantern", you must come here to experience it in person, because this is also the filming location of the TV series Yunnan Worm Valley. Although I have learned a lot about it before, I was still shocked when I actually came here! Because It is located in Longtan Park and is relatively niche. There are too many people traveling in Yunnan this year, so I prefer such a less popular place. Our itinerary: DAY1: Pu'er - Cangyuan County DAY2: Wengding Ancient Village - Ximeng DAY3: Longmo Ye Holy Land - Menglian DAY4: Menglian - Jingmai Mountain DAY5: Wengji Ancient Village/Nuogang Ancient Village DAY6: Jingmai Mountain-Xishuangbanna

| Ximeng · Dragon Demon Lord's Holy Land. A very niche attraction, but definitely worth the visit. This place feels like a corner forgotten by time, ancient and mysterious. Starting from the moss-covered stone steps, I slowly ascended step by step, as if I had entered a Hayao Miyazaki animation world. Unconsciously, it felt like stepping into a primeval forest, with ancient trees growing freely in silence, many tropical plants I had never seen before hiding in the crevices of stones and dead wood. Suddenly, you can hear the sound of rushing water. Is it the sound of raindrops falling on the leaves? But I didn't feel any rain... A few steps further, a stream rushes down along the mountain path. When you focus on watching the stream, you unknowingly walk into the Dragon Demon Lord's Holy Land. Everywhere you look, there are sacrificial cow heads, some scattered on the ground. It's a very small place, but I spent a full hour wandering around because I liked it so much. Being there felt like being separated from the noisy world.
