Show off Yunnan’s ancient towns

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

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 Dai language, meaning "street on the beach". It 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 It is a tourist town with novel streets, numerous restaurants and inns, plenty of sunshine, and 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 Be animated by 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 is that there are two temptations here, one is It’s 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 Jiashuayao Dai women are experts in weaving. 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 next to Gassa Avenue. There are many street statues like this. When you come here, don’t leave the statue. Look at the lively flower-waisted Dai girl.

Another temptation of Gasa is the soup pot: Gasa has been an important town along the Tea Horse Road since ancient times, and its soup pot is famous for its caravans. It became famous and became 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 short break, slaughter cows 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 make the caravan people's hard work come and go through wind and rain, as well as the bitterness of traveling day and night, eating and sleeping in the open air, all are... As the steam rose from the soup pot, it was forgotten and turned into nothing. All that was left was the simple and satisfying feeling of happiness after a full meal.

Today's Gasa soup pot is made from carefully selected ecological cattle from Ailao Mountain, using the cattle's bones, meat, intestines, tripe, head, It is stewed with a mixture of chicken feet, etc., and paired with Dai's unique spicy dipping condiments. It is 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 a good place to relax. You can also go to Huajie Square to listen to music and drink some night beer at night. . 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 best-built towns in Yunnan that I have ever visited, with a flowery Dai style, tropical scenery, It is a building rich in national characteristics; it is the place where the tobacco king Chu Shijian achieved his second glory; there is also a chieftain named Li (Li Runzhi) from Longxi who was probably the only Dai-invading Han Dynasty descended from Emperor Qianlong in history. It is said to be a gathering of legends. There is no place for it." ——" from netizens.

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