The 2 lanes of the road from Yunlong County to Norden Village are in good condition, and only a few kilometers will soon arrive at the free parking lot at the foot of the village mouth hill. It is said that it was very difficult to walk when the road was not built before. Norden is the oldest village name in Yunnan province that has remained unchanged for more than a thousand years. It means "the slopes with tigers" in Bai language. Because the salt industry flourished for a while, then declined, because China on the tip of the tongue came back to people's sight. This small village, which was found in historical records and experienced the dynasties of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties for 1138 years, was a great place in ancient times. In the Tang Dynasty "Manshu" there was a clear record of Norden, which had been digging wells to make salt at the latest in the Tang Dynasty. It was a typical village which relied on salt wells for its survival. Inoden salt is extraordinary, Baoshan, Tengchong area has been very fond of eating "Noble Salt" since ancient times. In ancient times, Norden's "Tea Horse Road" went east to Kunming, Dali, south to Tengchong, Baoshan, West to Liukupima, north to Lanping Lijiang, where businessmen from all directions gathered and prospered. Norden Village once became one of the commercial centers in Western Yunnan. The ancient salt wells in the village, as well as the old sites of Ming Dynasty Wujing Salt Course Tiju Yamen, Wenwu Temple, Weixing Gate and Yuhuangge Pavilion, are well preserved. At present, the ancient village style and many ancient buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties over a hundred years are quite intact in their original state, which are very rare in Yunnan and even in China. Entering the village, the first one on the left hand side of the river crossing is the one that has taken the tip of the farmhouse. After the tourists come in a rush, it is not easy to find the real Nuo Deng ham now. The farmers in remote areas can raise several pigs, and ham is a product that needs time to precipitate. Ham bought outside is sold to tourists as local ham. People with golden eyes can buy it. If they are inexperienced, they should not be fooled by money. The villages are all along the Shibanshan Road, and the transportation of goods still depends on horses and mules. Therefore, if you want to stay in the village inn, you'd better pack it lightly and simply. Although the owner can bring animals to help carry luggage, it's really hard to go up the mountain. Instead of crossing the river and climbing the mountain, we went straight to the east of the river to visit the Salt Museum in front of us. It's good to know the history of salt industry's rise and fall, and the introduction of scenic spots in the village. The chimney in the courtyard is an ancient relic left over from boiling salt. Behind the Salt Museum is the Dragon King Temple. It is said that the Dragon King of Norden managed the five wells of Yunlong. Unfortunately, the door of the temple was closed and it was not allowed to enter. The Longevity Palace site is the oldest building in the village. In the early Ming Dynasty, people changed the Guild Hall of Jiangxi Province into a temple, called "Zhushou Temple". During Jiajing period, Li Qiong was cited to rebuild the temple, which was not renamed "Longevity Palace" in Ming Dynasty. The same is the door locked, not allowed to enter, asked the villagers that no one at home, not to enter a good regret. Yanjie Salt Bureau, the government has nowhere to look for, only this sign marking the location. In ancient times, salt cookers handed over the salt to salt bureaus. Salt officers distributed the salt to all parts of the country for marketing. An endless stream of salt horse gangs set out here, heading east to Dali, south to Baoshan, West to Tengchong, Myanmar, north to Lijiang and Tibet on the "Salt (Tea) Ma Gudao".
