What strange things have you encountered during your trip?

Seeing men and women taking a bath in Mengla Hot Spring in Jinping County, Yunnan Province is an eye-catching event, and it is also a strange thing I have encountered during my many years of travel.

Jin Ping who stood me up was a little disappointed.

The first time I went to Yuanyang, Yunnan, I met an old-timer, a photographer with a fever, who was the vice chairman of a photographer's association. He rented a car and went out early and came back late every day. I followed him and helped him lift the guy. The seniors may think that I am smart (embarrassed to boast) and want to teach me technology for free. They said that I would go to other places to do creative work in the future and asked me to go with him. Knowing that I was not cut out for this material, I dared not promise him. Later, I learned that he used to be a guard in an important department of the country. No wonder he is tall and strong.

After filming Yuanyang, he asked me what other distinctive places in Yunnan were worth visiting. The Dai girl I mentioned wears a skirt to take a bath in Mengla River. He is very interested and wants me to take him there to pat the customs of ethnic minorities. Because I have to go somewhere else temporarily, I stood up during this trip to Jinping.

But going to Jinping has always been my concern.

On the way to Jinping, I stood up again for mongla, a Dai girl, taking a bath in the river.

A year later, on the first day of the Spring Festival, I embarked on a journey to Jinping.

Spring Festival travel rush couldn't find a car, so he had to transfer to Kunming and wait for the old car at Nanyao Station. When I arrived at the old place, it was getting late, so I had to find a place to live first and find a place to live while walking. Unexpectedly, I stepped on a flight of steps and my foot was severely sprained. After finding a place to live, I checked my foot injury. As soon as I left, it swelled up and hurt. I'm a little worried about the next trip.

After getting up for the second time, I felt that my foot injury was much better, at least it didn't affect my walking, so I decided to continue to go to Jinping. Take a bus to Jinping county at Gejiu bus station. Jinping is a border county, where there is border inspection. Just have your ID card. Don't be nervous. However, it is difficult to walk along the way, so be prepared for it. It will take almost a whole day.

After arriving in Jinping, I lived in the county seat, and the next day I immediately rushed to Mengla, where there are many Dai villages. I was probably the only local tourist at that time. When I went to Mengla village, I met several local children who could understand Chinese. After communication, disappointment began to come to mind. It turns out that local Dai girls can't see the custom of wearing a tube skirt to take a bath in Mengla River every day. Usually, when they celebrate the Dai New Year (Water-splashing Festival, from April 13 to April 15), they will see three or five groups of local girls bathing together in tube skirts by the river (think of those beautiful pictures).

Dai girls didn't meet in the bathtub, and Han handsome boys were swimming in Mengla River. Under the guidance of children, I came to the Mengla River. They took off their clothes and went into the water. I took a bathing suit and changed clothes in the wild. I followed them to swim in the river for a while, which was much smoother.

Mungra Hot Springs in Jinping experienced the bathing of local men and women, and finally paid off.

Fortunately, I have a plan B and a plan C for this trip to Jinping. They went to Mengla Hot Spring to experience the legendary hot spring bath for men and women and visited the only Hongtouyao village in Jinping. Plan A failed, but plans B and C were successfully completed.

Mengla borders Vietnam, and ethnic minorities account for 94%. When I got there, I became a real minority. Bananas and rubber trees are planted everywhere here, which is a tropical pastoral scenery.

If I remember correctly, it costs several dollars to enter Mungra Hot Springs. Out of respect for the local people, I didn't take pictures and didn't want to get into trouble. So it's good to borrow some photos that can be found online for everyone to see.

Entering the hot spring, it is steaming everywhere. There is a big pool and a small pool, and the temperature is 50~60 degrees. When I went there, I felt that the environment around the hot spring was a little too simple or even messy. In fact, someone is holding a puppy and bathing them by the pool.

There are men, women and children in the pool. Most of the elderly and young people are naked, and young girls are generally soaked in clothes. Everyone is no stranger to me. A stranger carrying a bag basically treats me as if I don't exist. Specific pictures, each one should fill the imagination of the brain.

C plan and go to the local area to learn about the story of the Mang people (ethnic minorities not included in the 56 ethnic groups, which have almost disappeared at present), and we will talk about it later.

I like traveling. Although I am young, I have been to many places. Guangxi, Guangdong, Xinjiang, Tibet, Zhejiang, Hunan, Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang. All these places have my footprints. Of course, many strange but interesting things happened during the trip.

Once, I went on a trip with my classmates. I originally planned to go to Guilin, because I have been longing for the Elephant Trunk Mountain, Yangshuo and Longji terraces in Guilin. When making the plan, I also looked up a lot of knowledge about Guangxi's landform and climate on the Internet, and then booked tickets one week in advance.

The night before I left, I met her and got a ride at the train station at 9 am. Who knows that she was the last to check in and get on the bus in a traffic jam. It was too late. Fortunately, she got on the bus to Guilin. We fell asleep as soon as we got on the bus and didn't pay attention to the arrival information at all. I slept for five or six hours as soon as I slept, and I missed Guilin Railway Station perfectly. When I woke up, I was already in Beihai. We looked at each other in tears and silently made up the tickets.

Just getting off the bus, the whole person has mixed feelings, who I am, where I come from and where I am going. Walking out of the station, a group of people gathered around and asked us if we wanted to stay. Because we were still high school students and had little social experience, we foolishly followed an aunt to the place where we lived. Looking back now, we are all lucky. What if we meet the bad guys? The consequences are unimaginable.

On the way, my aunt said that the hotel was opened by herself, and the house belonged to her family, so she could live in peace of mind and the cost was cheap. Looking at my aunt's simple dress and simple smile, we believed her. When I arrived at the hotel, it really looked like a private residence. A big table was set and the food was served. The fee is charged by a middle-aged man, and it should be the aunt's husband who listens to them. The hotel is a little dark and lacks light, which looks quite scary. We began to be afraid in the room, afraid to sleep at night, afraid of being dragged away. And blocked a big table in the room. We slept in fear all night.

I woke up in a daze in the morning and my aunt asked us to have breakfast. Although we were hungry, we refused because we were afraid that my aunt would poison our rice. I am anxious to check out in the morning. Just out of the reception hall, I saw a handsome guy in police uniform sitting there playing with his mobile phone. Aunt said that this is her son who is a policeman and is ready to go to work. We got to know each other, smiled, relaxed and decided to stay. We asked our aunt where it was fun. Aunt said that it is time to fish at home. Would you like to go to sea together? We actually agreed. Went to my hometown with a strange aunt. Finally, I had a good time. I vomited after eating seafood, and I got the contact information of the handsome policeman.

I dare say, this kind of weird plot, the film dare not shoot like this. But it's interesting.

True experience, I went to Jianmenguan in Guangyuan alone to take the Shu Road for an hour, and I met dozens of snakes, which scared me to death.
