"The rich and beautiful Lujiang Dam is praised by everyone when they see it ..." Every time this song is sung, a group of beautiful scenery shots are swept in my mind-the blue riverside is burning with flaming Panzhihua trees, the vast orchard is fascinated by tits flying all over the sky, the Dai village smoking in the dense fog, the delicious and attractive long table banquet and the singing under the big green tree.

Lujiang Dam extends for more than 111 kilometers along the Nujiang River from Menggu Village in Mangkuan Township in the north to Baihua Village in Lujiang Town in the south. Gaoligong Mountain and Nushan Mountain stand on the east and west sides. The special geographical environment makes Lujiang Dam a place rich in products. Sometimes, as the poem says, "When you fall, you can catch a handful of peanuts."

There are streets in Lujiangba, such as Mangkuan Street, Ganding Street, Mangbang Street, Xiaopingtian Street, Bawanxian Street, Daojie Street, Xincheng Street, etc. Every street takes turns to catch up, so you can catch up every day in Lujiangba. On the first day of the street, people are crowded and there are many delicious things. Take Xiaopingtian Street as an example, you can buy natural fungus, mushrooms, bracken, spiny bamboo shoots, wild banana hearts, wild honey, ground bees, Chinese toon, mountain onions, spiny old buns, walnuts, sour papaya, sour big bamboo shoots and so on from the extremely cold areas.

There are also river fish, river snails and the meat of pigs, chickens, ducks, cattle 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, pepper, mangoes, tamarinds, watermelons, green 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 rich season, the Bai people's February 8th, 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 same festivals for all ethnic groups in Lujiangba. During the festival, no matter you walk into any village or any ethnic family, 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", "make a toast" and "concentric wine" with you; Yi compatriots will have a round of "turning to wine" with you; Little bough, beautifully dressed, will sing toast song to worship you in turn, which will make you drunk with 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 a hollow root, which forms a huge tree hole. The local Dai people, because of their materials, have turned it into a "restaurant" in the tree, and on festive days, they put wine and hold banquets in the hole. The old people in the village gather in the tree hole, sit on the floor, drink and chat, enjoy themselves and enjoy their family.

Lujiangba is the main producing area of small coffee in China. Because of the abundant sunshine, the evaporation is greater than the rainfall and the large temperature difference between day and night, it is especially suitable for coffee growth and nutrient accumulation. Now the planting area has reached more than 211 thousand mu. At the coffee symposium held in the Cafe of Beijing Exhibition Hall in May, 1984, Xie Huawei, deputy director of the Rural Policy Research Office of the Secretariat, presented a poem: "The coffee is rich in Lujiang, and Chinese and foreign guests * * * taste it, and Beijing will be more spring in May, and they will still feel fragrant when they return home."

nowadays, lujiang small coffee has become a symbol of high-quality coffee in Yunnan. among them, yunlu coffee, xinzhai coffee, beaton coffee, hemei coffee and "guoxin" cat excrement coffee made from lujiangba small coffee are all outstanding coffee brands in China. Every February, a coffee tourism and culture festival is organized in Xiaopingtian. During the festival, all kinds of delicious food, including coffee, are gathered, which makes people feast their mouths.

Lujiangba is also a good place. It is the Institute of Tropical and Subtropical Economic Crops of Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, where more than 2,111 kinds of special plant resources from various hot spots are collected and preserved. It is a veritable grand view garden with exotic flowers and fruits. More than 111 kinds of famous, special, excellent and rare fruits are planted in the orchard. The fruit trees are covered with clusters of pink bell-like fruits, which are the famous fruit lotus mist imported from Taiwan Province. Lotus tree has beautiful posture and strong fragrance. Its fruit color is bright and eye-catching, and its taste is sweet. It contains protein, sugar, vitamin B, C and other elements, and has the functions of relieving fever, diuresis, calming the heart and calming the nerves in dietotherapy. The yellow round fruit on a tall tree is called egg yolk fruit. This kind of fruit is sweet and delicious when it matures, and its nutritional value is similar to that of egg yolk. This is actually the egg on the tree!

There are more than 41 mango varieties in the mango forest, each of which weighs more than three kilograms. It is a giant mango, and 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; Four-season mangoes are blooming all year round and hanging fruit. Even during the Spring Festival, fresh mangoes can be eaten. This technology is leading in the country. There are more than 1,811 mu of fruits and vegetables such as lemon, egg yolk, mango, longan and tomato in the Botanical Garden. 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. A lemon egg sold in 4 yuan is still in short supply. We are building a theme scenic spot featuring fruits, integrating scientific research, popular science and leisure tourism, and it will become a paradise for food fans.

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 have to pass through here. Food is concentrated in Mangkuan Street, Huhu, Xiaopingtian, Old Town, Baita and other places. There are also roadside restaurants along the way. The restaurants in Lujiangba are mostly Dai restaurants. The specialty dishes inside are hot and sour river fish, boiled chicken with papaya, boiled old duck in Jin Gangzuan, fried snail, pickled cabbage, herb ribs, Dai-flavor grilled fish and other specialties, as well as special dishes made of flowers such as climbing flower, broom, white flower, plantain flower and egg flower, as well as worms such as worm, bamboo worm and bee pupa.

In the restaurant 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 tree. There are several kinds of long table banquets. One is that each family makes a table with chicken, fish and home-cooked dishes, which are put out for guests to enjoy. There are also dozens or even hundreds of tables of banquet guests and all the villagers who are concentrated in killing cattle and sheep in the village and cooked them.

Baolong expressway has set up a service area in Yunnan Province at the western end of Lujiangba Extra-large River Bridge, which covers an area of several hundred mu, including Yunnan Highway Museum, miniature scenic spot of Huitong Bridge and various service facilities. Baoshan Tourism Commission and Yunnan Referendum jointly built a large tourist service center here. The center can provide information publicity, leisure and entertainment, special catering, tropical fruit supply, coffee culture display and other services for tourists, and it is a window for tourists to experience the food culture of Lujiangba in the past.
