This is the place where Yunnan legend Chu Shijian, the tobacco king, started his own business and rose again after being released from prison. Although it is a small town, the planning and layout of the street buildings are like a county town, very grand.

This small town is called Gasa Town, located in Xinping County, Yuxi City, Yunnan Province, 72 kilometers away from the county seat. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers pass through the center of the town. The terrain is complex, with altitudes ranging from more than 500 meters to more than 1,900 meters.

Gasa Town is an ethnic minority inhabited area, dominated by Dai people. However, the Dai people here are different from the Dai people in other places in Yunnan. The Dai people in Xishuangbanna are called Shui Dai, the Dai people in Pu'er are called Shan Dai, and the Dai people in Jiasa are called Shui Dai. The Dai people here are called Huayao Dai, because the Dai women here wear flower belts around their waists.

It is said that Gasa used to be a poor mountain village. Since the discovery of rich magnetite and copper mines in Dahongshan, it has led to the development of all walks of life, rapid economic development, and constant exchanges of merchants. Broad roads and wide squares have been built. It is said that there are more than 100 hotels, which can show the prosperity of this town.

Isn’t using minerals to drive economic development very similar to Gejiu, the tin capital of the world? Coincidentally, Gejiu is called "Little Hong Kong" and Gasha is also called "Little Hong Kong". Although Gasha is not as good as big cities, it is very prosperous among towns.

In addition to the rich reserves of magnetite and copper ore, Gasa is also rich in other resources. It is rich in corn, sugar cane, rice, mango, banana, lychee and other grain crops. The most famous one is Chu Shijian Chu Cheng. Chu Shijian, who was known as China's tobacco king at that time, was sentenced to life imprisonment due to financial problems.

If you go to the vegetable market, you will find that there are many unnamed wild vegetables on the stalls, among which the most What is unique is the sugar beet that only grows in Ailao Mountain. It can be said to be the aristocrat among wild vegetables. When it first came on the market, it sold for more than 200 yuan per kilogram.

Although Gasa is a small town, it has rich food. In addition to wild vegetables such as beets, bracken, Chinese toon, and Houttuynia cordata, the most famous delicacy in Gasa is the ox soup pot, which is the favorite of the locals. It can be said that a person’s day starts with a bowl of beef soup pot. The freshly served beef soup is full of aroma and rich color, which whets your appetite.

There are 6 professional trading markets in Gasa, including the Large Livestock Trading Market, one of the largest trading markets in Yuxi City. In addition, there are grain trade markets, farmers' markets, fruit markets, etc. A small town has such a Isn’t the scale surprising?

Show Yunnan_Ancient Town | Gasa: fragrant soup pot, whirling thin waist, deep in the bamboo forest, in the banana forest

Settling down suddenly is like a fateful arrangement. Stepping into the long time, the fireworks of the world are like a dream, scavenging along the way, but never feeling desolate. I am lucky enough to meet you, Jisha.

Gasa Town is located at the eastern foot of the middle section of the Ailao Mountains. The Gasa River runs diagonally through the town. It is the "hometown of the Huayao Dai" in Yunnan. "Gasa" is a Dai language, meaning "on the beach" "Jiezi" has been an important town for business transactions and transportation since ancient times. It has the magnificent pastoral scenery of Ailao Mountain and strong folk customs.

When you first arrive in Gasa Town, Xinping Yi and Dai Autonomous County, Yuxi, Yunnan, you can feel the strong nostalgia here. Gasa Town is a brand-new tourist town with novel streets, numerous restaurants and inns, and plenty of sunshine. The locals are friendly and kind.

The government introduced the Daha River water from the lower reaches of Shimen Gorge into the market town, which met the needs of fountain squares, avenue landscapes, and flower street area landscapes. Gasa Town is agile because of water. I really didn't expect that a rural market town could be so beautiful, much more beautiful than Gasa Town in Xishuangbanna.

The crisp morning is very beautiful, and this is a place full of vitality and hope.

There are beautiful subtropical scenery here, and the simple Yi and Dai people are hardworking and brave. What I must say are the two temptations here, one is the temptation of Huayao Dai: because it is the hometown of Huayao Dai , the Huayao Dai villagers in the village still retain their ancient folk customs, and the women still inherit unique handicrafts such as weaving, cross-stitching, embroidery, and weaving.

It is said that the Dai woman with a beautiful waist is an expert in textiles. The women's colorful floral belts, back basket belts, rice basket belts, sash belts, shoulder straps, and men's three-string straps are all handicrafts woven by them. Under the big green trees in Huayao Dai Village, you can often see women sitting together, doing embroidery to enjoy the cool weather.

This is a street statue on the side of Gasa Avenue. There are many street statues like this. When you come here, don’t mistake the statue for a lively flower-waisted Dai girl.

Another kind of Gasa is the temptation of soup pot: Gasa has been an important town along the Tea Horse Road since ancient times. Its soup pot is famous for its horse caravans, and it has become an unforgettable delicacy for passing merchants. At that time, a large number of caravans would gather by the Gasa River every day. They would take a break, slaughter cattle and cook delicious beef soup pots, and feast on them. Countless cows would be eaten in a day.

The richness and deliciousness of the soup pot made the caravan people’s hard work in wind and rain, as well as the bitterness of traveling day and night, eating and sleeping in the open, all forgotten with the steam rising from the soup pot. Finally, it disappeared into nothing, and all that was left was the simple and satisfying feeling of happiness after a good meal.

Today’s Jiasha soup pot is made from a selection of ecological cattle from Ailao Mountain. It is made from a mixture of cattle bones, meat, intestines, tripe, heads, feet, etc., and is paired with Dai’s unique Some are spicy and dipped in water with condiments, which are fragrant and delicious. Boil the meat in a big pot, hold the meat in a big bowl, and eat the meat in large chunks. This is the charm of the Jisha soup pot!

Both temptations make people who are new to Gasa fall in love with Gasa, and make people who are about to leave Gasa reluctant to leave.

Gasa is also very suitable for resting at night. You can also go to Huajie Square to listen to music and drink some night beer. This place is known as "Little Hong Kong", with all kinds of tropical fruits and barbecues, and the nightlife is very rich!

The lights are very beautiful at night. The colored lights decorate the outline of the building and the river, making it look magnificent!

“Gasa is one of the most well-constructed towns in Yunnan that I have ever visited. It has the style of Dai Yao, tropical scenery, and buildings with ethnic characteristics; it is the second glory of the tobacco king Chu Shijian. There is also a chieftain surnamed Li (Li Runzhi) from Longxi who was probably the only one in history who was inherited from the Han Dynasty by the Emperor Qianlong. It is not a place where legends gather." ——" From a netizen.

Rich green vegetation, as well as rice that is harvested twice a year, endless pitayas and mangoes to eat in summer, passing through layers of banana forests, and patches of The houses in Gasa are really worth visiting!
