A 50-word introduction to the Dai Bamboo House

The Dai villages are all located near the water in Pingba. The large villages have two to three hundred households, while the small villages have only one to twenty households. The houses are all single buildings with open space around them, and each family has its own courtyard. It is a bamboo building with a wooden frame, with people living on top and livestock living on the bottom. The bamboo houses of the Dai people are of the dam area type. Due to the hot and humid weather, most of the bamboo houses are close to the mountains and rivers; outside the village, banyan trees cover the sky with low aerial roots; in the village, there are rows of bamboo houses, surrounded by bamboo fences, hidden in the green shade. ; Manjinglanzhai and Llanba in Jinghong County are the standard types of Dai bamboo houses in the dam area.
