Pakistan-USA Travel Guide

I believe that most people have been to Lijiang, Dali, Erhai and Yulong Snow Mountain in Yunnan, but there is also a mysterious and beautiful village in Yunnan-Bamei Village. Today, we will introduce Bamei Village in the north of Guangnan County, Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It is said that the village will go in and out by boat. Let's have a look.

Characteristic residence

There are two main types of houses in Bamei Village: column type and fence type: landing type and half-story type. The main house is built with wooden boards, surrounded by branches, and then coated with clay made of soil and cow dung. It is well ventilated and has a warm climate. It is covered with tile roofs, compartments, front cooling fences or fences. People live upstairs, livestock are raised downstairs, and debris is piled up. The local Zhuang people call it Malanlou, and some people call it Diaojiaolou. These old-fashioned home buildings, such as Malanlou, show historical features and are living fossils of traditional Zhuang architecture.

Special diet

The villagers in Bamei Village basically produce their own food, clothing, housing and transportation. The stockade is full of rotating waterwheels, canoes, artificial stone mills, water mills, wooden hammers, water looms, wooden oil presses, wooden bellows, wooden pears, wooden back frames, wooden ladders and wooden chopping boards. Their simple and rough appearance solidified history and conveyed ancient cultural information.

Bamei accommodation

If you want to enjoy the journey, it is recommended to return to Guangnan County. The best hotel in this county is Santa Ana Club. If you want to feel the peasant style, you can choose to stay at Bamei Farmhouse. You can also stay in Ako Town from Bamei. There are many farmhouses in Bamei Village for accommodation. The farmhouses with better accommodation conditions in the village are: Big Banyan Tree, Fuliang Farmhouse, Green Man Island, Tea House, Yuanxiyuan Inn, etc.

national costume

The clothes worn by villagers in Bamei Village are all made of handmade homespun. In rural areas, the whole process of planting cotton, spinning, weaving, bleaching and dyeing, making clothes and making flowers is done by hand at home. Women's wear is a black plaid handkerchief, a black, blue and purple round collar, narrow sleeves and waist, a round skirt with left oblique bird wings, black pleated trousers and embroidered cloth shoes. Wearing a black handkerchief, floral scarf, blue, black, white round neck, wide sleeves, wide waist, left diagonal round dress, black trousers and embroidered cloth shoes; Men's wear is black Baotou handkerchief, black double-breasted clothes and wide crotch pants. Bird clothing is related to the bird worship of ancient Zhuang ancestors. There is little difference between the clothes of local Sha people and Nong people.

Tips:

1. Transportation: 480 kilometers from Kunming to Guangnan. Kunming South Bus Station has buses to Guangnan every day. The journey takes 8 hours, and you live in Guangnan that night. The next day, I took a ride from Guangnan to Bamei.

2. Folk activities: Dragon Boat Festival, fishing, water-splashing festival, singing, playing with lions, playing badminton and practicing ancient weapons.

3. Time arrangement: The main purpose of visiting Bamei is to experience the special folk customs and living environment here, so we need to stay here for more time, so we can't take a cursory look. 2-3 days is appropriate.
