Is the weather good in Cangyuan?

The top of the urn, in Wa language, means a place full of mist. It also means a beautiful mountain and Baiyun Lake.

There are women smoking pipes here. Whether at work or in leisure, they will take out their pipes and smoke a few mouthfuls. In Ondin, the tradition of men plowing and women weaving has been maintained to this day. Generally, women in the stockade will pull up the yarn at home and weave on the spot in their spare time.

Weng Ding Cun

The Last Primitive Tribe in China

Awa people are simple and hospitable, and greet guests when they see them. Wa women are very clever. They weave their own cloth and make their own clothes. All the materials used are original and pollution-free.

Wa cattle totem hanging, thatched cottages stacked on top of each other, thick smoke rolling over the whole village, swaying trees scattered on the roof and ground ... village piles, salad houses, song fields, wooden drum houses, etc. All of them exude a strong primitive tribal atmosphere.

Mangheixiaozhai

An ancient Wa village growing up in a boudoir

This is a more primitive and ancient village than Ondin. On both sides of the winding stone road, there are wooden houses next to each other. The wooden house is a little humble, and every household is basking in corn, golden, and there is dry wood next to it, which just has a breath of Xanadu. There is also a humble Burmese temple hidden in the stockade, and the little novice monk pokes his head out from time to time. ...

Mengka Daizhai

Quiet Xanadu

Among the integrated Wazhai, this Dai village is especially special. Innocence is fully displayed here, and behind the village is a sacred forest. The huge banyan trees stand alone in the forest, lush and green, like guardians behind Monka, silently guarding this land.

Banlao town

China's exotic customs

This is the last batch of villages and towns that returned to the motherland, so it also vaguely reveals exotic customs. On the top of Ban's hometown, stands a white tower. The main tower stands tall, surrounded by seven small towers, in front of which there is a hut dedicated to Buddhist gods.

Washanyun

Unpredictable magic

In the morning, the fog is boundless, like a light silver belt winding on the mountainside; The sun is half-baked, and there are many ways to bask in the sun. The low hills are gradually exposed, and the villages at the foot of the mountain are hidden. After sunrise, the fog bid farewell to the castle peak, and layers of ancient villages clearly appeared in front of us, quietly staying at the foot of the mountain like a distant paradise, as if in a fairyland.

Nangungun River

The Last Oasis on the Tropic of Cancer

This is one of the few tropical forests and monsoon forests except Hainan, and it is also the last oasis on the tropic of cancer. There are coniferous forests composed of Pu 'er pine and Yunnan pine, forming a variety of virgin forest vegetation landscapes. It is a well-preserved natural botanical garden.

Tiankeng group

Whisperd's footprints.

The sinkholes in Cangyuan are actually sinkholes. This sinkhole is 235 meters deep, 720 meters in circumference and 200 meters in diameter. It is the largest sinkhole in Yunnan Province, surrounded by six sinkholes of different sizes. A small ecosystem has formed in the sinkhole, but you can't go down to see it. You can only stand on the observation deck on the side.

Division of posts

A grotesque cave.

"Four ports" means cliff hole, and "inside" means coming out. Wa people believe that ancient people were imprisoned in cliff caves, and later rescued by gods and various small animals, and human beings came out of caves and lived and worked everywhere. The scenery in the cave is fantastic, and the stalactites are in different shapes, white and crystal clear. Deep in the cave, the river keeps flowing, crossing the cliff and heading for the distance. ...

Ancient rock paintings

Ancient traces on the rock wall

Cangyuan Rock Painting is one of the oldest rock paintings found in China at present, which was produced more than 3,000 years ago. It is painted with fingers or feathers dipped in red paint. Pigment may be made by mixing animal blood with hematite powder. Cangyuan rock paintings will change color with sunshine time, sunny day, humidity, cold and warm conditions and other factors. The local Wa and Dai people say that it is "three changes a day, red in the morning and light in the afternoon, and purple in the evening."

Guangyun miansi

Independent inheritance in the world

Guangyunmian Temple was built in the eighth year of Qing Daoguang. It is the A Dai Temple, which was announced by the State Council as the third batch of national key protected cultural relics. As soon as you enter the temple gate, you will see the panlong column in front of the pavilion, and there are many wood carving auspicious clouds on the beams and columns; There are various murals hanging on the walls of the main hall, which are rich in color and also contain various Buddhist stories and customs and cultures.

Tips: Both men and women can enter the main hall, but women need to take off their shoes before entering the main hall.

Food recommendation

When you arrive at Cangyuan, how can you not try the local food!

Chicken rotten rice, barbecue, beef jerky and dry rice are all local specialties. There are also terrible insects, bamboo worms and bee pupae are rich in protein, and they are full of delicious food that you dare not try ~

Wow, Yan Wang.

Of course, what is indispensable is the local tile king banquet to pay tribute to the guests. Bamboo leaves laid the table, and a long row was filled with local specialties. We chatted while drinking, drank with the Wa people in Cangyuan and felt the hospitality of the Wa people.

Cangyuan, a quiet and undisturbed town, is quiet and low-key, but it also radiates infinite light! If you are tired of the hustle and bustle of Lijiang Dali, you might as well go to this small border town in Yunnan and take a trip to this place.
