Come to Menghe Town, Gaoligong, and take you to taste all kinds of Lujiangba cuisine.

"The rich and beautiful Lujiang Dam is praised by everyone ..." Every time I sing this song, groups of beautiful scenery are swept in my mind-the blue riverside is burning with red Panzhihua, and the 10,000-hectare orchard is fascinated by tits flying all over the sky, Dai villages in dense fog, long table banquets and graceful dances under big green trees.

Lujiang Dam extends along the Nujiang River for more than 100 kilometers, starting from Mongolia Village in Mangkuan Township in the north and reaching Baihua Village in Lujiang Town in the south. Gaoligong Mountain and Nvshan Mountain stand on the east and west sides. The special geographical environment makes Lujiang Dam a place with rich products. Sometimes, as the poem says, "With a banana on your head and a pineapple on your feet, you can catch a handful of peanuts when you fall down."

Lujiangba has Mangkuan Street, Ganding Street, Mangbang Street, Xiaoping Tianjie Street, Bawanxian Street, Daojie Street and Xincheng Street. And every street takes turns to catch up, so I can catch up with the street every day at Lujiangba. On the first day of shopping, there were many people and a lot of delicious food. Take Xiaoping Tianjie as an example, you can buy natural fungus, mushrooms, bracken, spiny bamboo shoots, wild banana hearts, wild honey, ground bees, Chinese toon, scallion, spiny old steamed stuffed bun, walnut, sour papaya and sour bamboo shoots in extremely cold areas.

There are also river fish, snails and the meat of pigs, chickens, ducks, cows and sheep raised in the original ecology in the small street. Here, you can also buy tropical and subtropical fruits such as bananas, lychees, longan, peppers, mangoes, tamarind, watermelons, dates, sugar cane, ginseng fruit, egg yolk fruit, annona, cowhide fruit, citrus, pitaya, cattail, waxy olives, Burmese peaches, passion fruit and lemons, as well as cucumbers that will be on the market all year round. In Lujiangba, there are many ethnic groups, such as Han, Dai, Lisu, De 'ang, Yi, Miao and Bai, who have their own traditional festivals and food systems.

The Torch Festival of the Yi people, the Water-splashing Festival of the Dai people, the Lisu people's peak season, the Bai people's February 8, the Miao people's Huashan Festival, the Han people's Spring Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival ... have almost become the festivals of all ethnic groups in Lujiangba. During the festival, no matter which village or ethnic family you enter, the host will enthusiastically hold out Ciba and wine to bless you! On days without festivals, folk customs are as strong as festivals. Here, a generous and charming man will drink "pour a glass of wine", "toast" and "concentric wine" with you; Yi compatriots will have a round of "wine transfer" with you; A well-dressed young man will sing a toast song to respect you in turn, so that you can indulge in laughter. ...

Lujiangba is a paradise for banyan trees. There are tens of thousands of big banyan trees growing here, and Lv Yun is in the sky all year round, which constitutes a vivid background in the life of Lujiangba residents. There is a huge banyan tree with hollow roots, forming a huge tree hole. The local Dai people, because of the materials, have turned it into a "restaurant" in the tree. On holidays, they put wine and banquets in the cave. The old people in the village gather in the tree hole, sit on the floor, drink and chat, and have fun.

Lujiangba is the main producing area of small coffee in China. Due to abundant sunshine, evaporation is greater than rainfall, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, which is especially suitable for coffee growth and nutrient accumulation. Now the planting area has reached more than 200,000 mu. 1984 At the coffee symposium held in Beijing Exhibition Hall Cafe in May, Xie Huawei, deputy director of the Rural Policy Research Office of the Secretariat, presented a poem: "Lujiang is rich in coffee, and Chinese and foreign guests * * * taste it. In the spring of Beijing in May, they are still fragrant when they return to China. "

Today, Lujiang coffee has become a symbol of Yunnan's high-quality coffee. Among them, Yunlu Coffee, Xinzhai Coffee, Beaton Coffee, Hemei Coffee and Guo Xin, a cat waste coffee made from Lujiangba Coffee, are all excellent coffee brands in China. Every February, Xiaoping Tian holds a coffee tourism culture festival. During the festival, all kinds of delicious food, including coffee, gather together, which makes people feast their mouths.

Lujiangba also has a good place, that is, the Institute of Tropical and Subtropical Economic Crops of Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, where more than 2,000 kinds of characteristic plant resources in tropical areas are collected and preserved, and it is a veritable grand view garden with strange flowers and different fruits. The orchard has planted 100 kinds of famous, special, excellent and rare fruits. The fruit trees are covered with clusters of pink bell-shaped fruits, which is the famous fruit lotus spray imported from Taiwan Province Province. Lotus trees are graceful and fragrant. Its fruit is bright in color and sweet in taste. Contains protein, sugar, vitamin B, C and other elements, and has antipyretic, diuretic, calming the heart and calming the nerves in dietotherapy. The yellow round fruit on the tall tree is called yolk fruit. This kind of fruit is sweet and delicious when it is ripe, and its nutritional value is similar to that of egg yolk. This is actually an egg on a tree!

There are more than forty kinds of mango varieties in the mango forest, each of which has more than three kilograms. It's a giant mango. One mango is enough for five or six people. Pearl mangoes are only the size of quail eggs, and one person can eat more than a dozen at a time; Mango blooms and bears fruit all year round. Even during the Spring Festival, you can eat fresh mangoes. This technology is leading in China. There are lemon, egg yolk, mango, longan, tomato and other fruits and vegetables in the Botanical Garden 1800 mu. In recent years, the institute has also developed lemon pigs and lemon chickens fed with lemon, corn and cassava. Because it contains more nutrients than ordinary pigs and chickens, it has become a rare food. Lemon eggs for 4 yuan each are still in short supply. We are building a theme scenic spot featuring fruits and integrating scientific research, popular science and leisure tourism, which will become a paradise for food lovers.

Lujiangba is not only a tourist destination, but also a transportation hub of western Yunnan tourism circle. From Baoshan to Tengchong, mangshi, Ruili, and from Nujiang to the above destinations, you must pass through here. Food is concentrated in Mangkuan Street, Tribal Tiger, Xiaopingtian, Old Town, Baita and other places. There are also roadside restaurants along the way.

In restaurants run by Lisu people, you can also eat hand-grabbed rice with roast suckling pig, roast chicken and grilled fish as the main ingredients. If you come during the festival, you can also attend a long table banquet under the big green trees. There are several kinds of long table banquets. One is that each family cooks a table of chicken, fish and home-cooked dishes and puts them out for guests to enjoy. There are dozens or even hundreds of tables of banquet guests and villagers in the village who concentrate on killing cattle and sheep and cooking them.

Baolong Expressway has set up a service area at the western end of Lujiangba Bridge in Yunnan Province, covering an area of several hundred mu. There are Yunnan Highway Museum, Huitong Bridge miniature scenic spot and various service facilities.
