Located in Tuo’an Township of Lufeng County, Langjing Village was once deemed “the biggest village of Lufeng” in the early period of the PRC. It is 13 km from Heijing Ancient Town and was listed in 2008 as a historical and cultural village of Yunnan Province. Since the Tang Dynasty (618-907), Langjing Village was known for salt production. It was even regarded as one of “the Nine Salt Wells of Ancient Yunnan” with a salt culture that can compete with Heijing Ancient Town. The religious culture there was enormously propelled by the salt industry. Kai’ning Temple, originally constructed in 725, is the best-known among those of Langjing to witness the co-existence of the Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. It’s been listed as an important historical and culture site of Lufeng County.
Langjing also has kept a distinctive native culture represented by the Dongjing Music (a kind of religious music). Most folk residences are designed in the style of the Central China; however, one also can find traditional houses of popular style in Yunnan. The highlighted architecture complexes include the Family Wen’s Garden, the Folk Residence of Li Jibo, the former residence of Zhang Jingchen who is a martyr, Dalong Shrine and the Old Pavilion of Family Jiang etc.
