Because the Zhonghutiao Scenic Area was closed for maintenance, we decided to take a walk to the Lower Hutiao and take a look at the Konghuanxi Observation Deck the night before, and then take a bus back to Lijiang in the afternoon.
Unexpectedly, we met Lu Ke by chance. Uncle Lu Ke was simple, kind, and enthusiastic. Because of the shortage of manpower, Lu Ke made us a simple bowl of noodles. During the conversation with Uncle Lu Ke, we learned that he had been maintaining the Ancient Tea Horse Road and built several bridges at his own expense until the last one was destroyed by a mudslide. This ancient road can go all the way from Naxi to Haba Village. Because we like the authenticity, tranquility, and strong atmosphere of life here, we decided to stay here for one more night.
Now it seems that this is one of the most correct decisions I have made in my life 😆, exploring this ancient tea-horse road that has existed for thousands of years. The scenery is considered to be the best on this high road. In addition, while watching the sunset on the snow-capped mountains at night, I enjoyed the authentic yak beef hot pot made by Lu Ke's son, as well as freshly picked organic vegetables and drinking Lu Ke's brewed barley wine, which put a perfect comma on this unplanned beauty!
Facilities: I lived in a four-person room, and the bed was very comfortable to sleep on. Lu Ke's accommodation conditions were relatively simple, and there were no slippers. But wifi, hot water and other basics were available.
Hygiene: Lu Ke may be renovating the inn during this period, and there is a shortage of staff, so the room was not cleaned much.
Environment: Lu Ke's own vegetable garden and flowers, plus the original ecology and unique beauty here are worthy of five stars
Service: Uncle Lu Ke is warm and hospitable, and eating and staying in the inn in Tiger Leaping Gorge is the king of cost-effectiveness!
Uncle Lu Ke, see you later!
