There is a small town in Dashan, Yunnan, which is called "Little Hong Kong" with developed economy and rich products.

Mango Travel Diary: There is a small town in Dashan, Yunnan Province, which is rich in copper and iron ore, with beautiful scenery and developed economy. It is called "Little Hong Kong" in Yunnan.

This is the place where Wang Chu Shi Jian, a legendary Yunnan smoker, started his business again after he was released from prison. Although it is a small town, the planning and layout of street buildings is like a county town, which is very atmospheric.

This small town, Sa Jia Town, is located in Xinping County, Yuxi City, Yunnan Province, 72 kilometers away from the county seat, surrounded by mountains and rivers passing through the town center. The terrain is complex, ranging from more than 500 meters above sea level to 1.900 meters.

Sa Jia Town is inhabited by ethnic minorities, mainly Dai people, but the Dai people here are different from those in other parts of Yunnan. The Dai people in Xishuangbanna are called Shui Dai, the Dai people in Pu 'er are called Dai Shan, and the Dai people in Sa Jia are called Huayao Dai, because all Dai women here tie flowers around their waists.

It is said that Sa Jia used to be a poor mountain village. Since the discovery of rich magnetite and copper deposits in Dahongshan, it has promoted the development of all walks of life, the economy has advanced by leaps and bounds, merchants have poured in, and spacious roads and squares have been built. It is said that there are more than 100 hotels, which can satisfy the prosperity of this town.

Is it very similar to the old tin capital of the world to promote economic development with minerals? Coincidentally, Gejiu is called "Little Hong Kong" and Quessa is also called "Little Hong Kong". Although Quessa is not as big as a city, it is very prosperous in towns and villages.

In addition to rich reserves of magnetite and copper, Jiasha is also rich in other resources, such as corn, sugarcane, rice, mango, banana, litchi and other food crops, the most famous of which is Chu orange of Chu Shijian. At that time, Chu Shijian, known as the tobacco king of China, was sentenced to life imprisonment for economic problems. Later, he was released on medical parole due to illness. When he returned to his hometown to recuperate, Chu contracted a barren hill and began to grow oranges. Because of his excellent quality, his sales are very good. The picture shows Chu Orange Manor, with open management, which visitors can visit.

Not only can Chu orange be planted on Ailao Mountain, but also all kinds of wild flowers and wild vegetables are growing. As long as you go to the vegetable market, you will find that there are many unknown wild vegetables in the stall, and the most unique one is the beet that only grows on Ailao Mountain, which can be described as a noble among wild vegetables. When it was first listed, the price reached more than 200 yuan a kilogram.

Although Sa Jia is a small town, its food is very rich. Besides beets, bracken, Toona sinensis, Houttuynia cordata and other wild vegetables, the most famous food in Sa Jia is beef soup pot, which is the local people's favorite food. It can be said that a day in Sa Jia begins with eating a bowl of beef soup pot. The beef soup just served is rich in flavor and color, which greatly increases people's appetite.

Jiasha has six professional trading markets, including one of the largest in Yuxi, as well as grain trading market, farmer's market and fruit market. Isn't it strange that a small town has such a scale?

Now more and more tourists come here, because the terrain here is complex, with natural scenery such as forests, canyons and waterfalls, and representative cultural attractions such as Chu Orange Manor, which not only develops the mineral economy, but also develops the tourism economy.

Today's sudden drop is no longer a small town hidden in the mountains, but a "small port" with rich resources and developed economy, and it is also a place where Chu Shijian, a legendary figure in Yunnan, spent his old age safely. If there is an opportunity, you might as well go and have a look.
