Xishuangbanna is an extremely beautiful scenic spot in China. It is full of beautiful elements. You will experience different passions and exciting experiences here, which is a beautiful example. Everything is under your nose. Let's introduce xishuangbanna tourism in detail.
from Chengdu to Xishuangbanna via Zhaotong.
On the way, I saw the karst landform for the first time. There are mountains and hills, and the slope soil is priceless, like the wind pouring into the sea.
It is completely different from the desolate impression in geography textbooks. It is a corrugated fold on the earth. On the plateau at an altitude of 1811 meters, it looks like an old man who has changed a lot.
Rainforest climate is hot and humid all year round, and the temperature on April is 37 degrees, which is almost the same as that in Chengdu in August.
It often rains suddenly at noon, and then it suddenly stops. The burning sun comes out of the clouds, smiling like a child through tears. Xishuangbanna is bordered by Thailand, Laos and Myanmar. Its folk customs are complex, its products are rich and its culture is blended. Similar to ancient border trade places. On the road, I heard Chinese at one moment, and someone walked by in Thai the next; This street is still selling fruits from Laos. When you turn around, you will meet a businessman selling Burmese jade.
the way of eating and drinking can be described as a contention among the four countries. Even without the recommendation of acquaintances, you can eat authentic Dai, Thai, Myanmar and Laos dishes. You won't be disappointed if you go to the top restaurant recommended by the public comment. Dai food is spicy, Lao food likes lemon, Thai food is neutral, and Myanmar food is weird.
Dai calendar New Year: Dragon Boat Festival, Buddha washing day, Swing Festival and Water-splashing Festival.
In Xishuangbanna in April, everyone is preparing for the Spring Festival. The boy scrubbed the dragon boat and the girl prepared new clothes.
For about ten years, my knowledge of Chinese New Year was only in shopping malls, dining tables and Spring Festival Gala.
cultural apathy, that is, it happened quietly and continued to affect it. Many times, many cultures and many inheritances need a sense of ceremony. Before, I didn't understand why the emperor always worshipped heaven, closed himself to Zen, worshipped Confucius and did something big and meaningless. It is best to recuperate and develop economic construction.
However, it is these seemingly futile rituals that have changed thousands of years of war and civilization, leaving a foundation called Confucianism.
In fact, girls wearing Dai costumes can be seen everywhere on Banna Road. They have dark skin and clear eyes, and they can catch up with each other with a restrained look. Only then do I understand that there are Dai costumes here, which are obviously wedding dresses.
On weekdays, the girls from the village "hide" together, filing out, graceful and colorful, and competing for beauty in Zhuo Zhuo.
Dai people are similar to Hanfu in simplicity and complexity. They wear it in daily life and in celebration. Their process changes, streamlined workmanship and material selection are completely different. If we go further, we will naturally have a complete set of national costume culture.
The Dai people's New Year may be a feast of costume culture. Its beauty, magnificence, richness and exquisiteness are no less than a great show of Victoria's Secret in Xishuangbanna.
Nader cuisine
is divided into fruits and vegetables. Let's talk about fruit first. Banna's fruit must be one of the best in the country. There are almost all kinds of choices. There are many fruit markets that are managed by warehouses. You can choose by yourself, accept large orders and sell ready-to-eat products cut into boxes.
especially durian, pitaya, cantaloupe and small pineapple are full, sweet, rich, juicy and cheap, with an average price of several yuan a catty. You can eat all kinds of fruits and mix them together until you are full.
Let's talk about food. Because of business trip, take-out will be the first choice, and word-of-mouth evaluation depends on public comments.
I ordered chicken oil rice, lemon salsa and paluda recommended by the public. They are mellow, sweet and sour, and rich. From ingredients to spices, there is a natural plant fragrance, which is different from the direction of the eight major cuisines. They run counter to the aesthetic feeling emphasized by the central plains food culture, but they have achieved another delicious category.
You don't even have to find out whether these dishes are from Dai, Laos or Thailand, and you don't have to deliberately define their taste
Because it is hot, Banna people's day often starts at 11 pm. With the Lancang River as the boundary, it is divided into the north and south banks and the new old city. The north shore is Jinghong business district, and the south shore is a new living area, with different nightlife forms, including ghost restaurants, nightclubs, bars and KTV. At two or three o'clock in the morning, the street is still bustling, shops are brightly lit, vehicles and pedestrians are in an endless stream, and there is a high-pitched song from the other side of the Lancang River. Fan Ju of the Northern and Southern Dynasties said: Life is like a tree and a flower, which is scattered with the wind or falls on the mat; Or close the fence and fall into the soil.
Sometimes you are too used to this world, addicted to life, content with the status quo, and don't think about life and death, so you won't be surprised at this world.
You know everything is pale and hard to grasp, such as morning dew, sunset and stars.
You once walked through such a sexy and special city and wrote down its name on the western continent where the south wind blew your dreams.
I have thought for a long time and want to write a sentence as the end of Banna's travel notes.
By chance, I saw Premier Zhou Enlai's sweet words to his wife Deng in a book:
"I have been a staunch materialist all my life. Only you, I hope to have an afterlife "
I am also looking forward to the next period of time.
