A strong sense of nostalgia pervades the old village.

Nowadays, with the development of tea tourism integration and cultural tourism integration,

tourists can also slow down their pace, apart from visiting ancient village.

Experience the fun of tea roasting and tea making.

Taste the nostalgia with an immersive experience.

"Football on the Roof" was filmed in

Chengzi Ancient Village in Yongning Township, Luxi County, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province.

The film opens with the girls running across the rooftops and kicking grapefruits.

The audience can see through their movements

To get a general understanding of the ancient village.

The village follows the mountain terrain and rises in steps.

It blends into the landscape, becoming an inseparable part of the slope.

Green grass spreads, and rivers adorn the landscape.

This is a simple, natural, and peaceful ancient village.

The warm light of the golden sun illuminates the village.

The earthy yellow houses look more vibrant.

The villagers are quietly busy with their own things.

The atmosphere of life and the unique characteristics of the ancient village are overwhelming.

Chengzi Ancient Village is currently the largest complex of Yi Tuzhang houses in southwest China.

It can be called the "living fossil" of Yunnan's residential architecture.

In fact, there are many beautiful ancient villages in Yunnan.

Niru Village, for example, is mentioned in "Lost Horizon".

Azheke Village is situated in the heart of the Honghe Hani Terraces, a world heritage site.

Yuhu Village under the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

and Nuodeng Ancient Village, known as the "Millennium Bai Village,"

these traditional villages carry the excellent traditional Chinese culture.

They are also the emotional carriers and cultural genes of many people.

In recent years, Yunnan Province has introduced a series of policies to

strengthen the protection of traditional villages

in order to retain villagers, protect the hometown, and remember the nostalgia. 

Encounter the beautiful Yunnan in the film.

Enter the reality and experience "A lifestyle called Yunnan."
