Dali Yunlong Nuodeng Ancient Village Travel Guide

travelling guideline:

1. The real and fake Nuodeng ham scam revealed:

1. Non-traditional craftsmanship: Nowadays, the output of Nuodeng salt is extremely low, so the number of Nuodeng hams actually cured with Nuodeng salt is also very small. Some of them are eaten at home or for entertaining guests. Because of "A Bite of China", most of the hams that tourists can buy now are not made by traditional methods. They are cured with ordinary salt for 8 months or a year. Vendors who sell this kind of ham will tell you the "so-called identification method", but this is nothing more than another scam. Real Nuodeng ham needs to be cured with Nuodeng salt for about 3 years, and the price is relatively high now, almost 100 yuan per pound.

2. Shoddy goods: There is another kind of ham, which tastes similar to Nuodeng ham, but the seller purchased it at a low price of more than ten or twenty yuan. Some hams even have hair on the outside, but sellers will tell you that this is only for old hams. Tourists don’t believe it!



2. Nuodeng travel tips:

1. Since there are no street lights in Nuodeng Village, the village is dark at night, so it is recommended not to arrive in Nuodeng too late, for example For the shuttle bus from Dali, try to choose one before 14:00, otherwise it will be dark when you arrive in Nuodeng, and it will be very uncomfortable to go up the mountain in the dark.

2. There is no China Unicom signal in Nuodeng Village, and the mobile and telecommunications signals are not strong, so if you book accommodation, you need to call the inn in Yunlong County and ask the inn to send someone to pick you up at the parking lot at the entrance of the village, otherwise It will be very troublesome to not be able to make a phone call or contact the inn when you arrive in Nuodeng. The whole village of Nuodeng is built on the mountainside, and there are stone mountain roads in the village. Therefore, please do not choose to bring a trolley suitcase to Nuodeng. " There are no commercial streets, no shopping areas, and no nightlife. If you can't bear the pure simplicity and isolation, don't go to Nuodeng.
