Cloud tribe? .

Log-built wooden houses, scattered villages, small bridges and flowing water, smoke curling, and the fragrance of milk wine. The quaint rural scenery is as mysterious as Kanas Lake.

Entering the home visit of Kanas Tuwa people, the hospitable host warmly entertained them. As soon as he sat down, he served yogurt, milk wine, milk tea, milk bumps, ghee, oil cakes, oil sieves and so on. You can choose anything to eat, but milk tea is a must. After the host pours the tea, he can add proper amount of ghee and milk skin according to his own taste. Butter will soon melt into the tea, a few golden oil flowers will float out, and the milk skin will soon soak in the tea and float softly on the tea surface.

Take a sip and put the milk skin in your mouth. When you chew it, a wonderful sour taste will spread immediately. When drinking milk tea in Tuva's house, you must drink two bowls, because you came in on two legs. After drinking two bowls of milk tea, you can walk out on two legs, which is auspicious and safe.

Go to a quiet and serene mountain village, step on the morning light, watch wisps of white smoke or blue smoke slowly float into the sky, the cattle and sheep in the fence bow their heads for food, stretch their arms in a quiet place, breathe the rare earthy air, and then, under the call of enthusiastic villagers, drink a cup of warm butter tea. Is there a warm sense of satisfaction overflowing your chest ~
