The eight biggest monsters in Yunnan are as follows

1. Eggs are sold on skewers with straw

Many places in Yunnan are mountainous and the roads are rugged. When farmers bring eggs to the market to sell, they will break if they are not careful. The farmers came up with a way to weave bamboo strips or wheat straw against the eggshells to form a long string, ten in a string, with each egg separated so that it would not be damaged during transportation. After customers take the products home, they can hang them on the wall and take as many as they want to eat.

2. Take off the bamboo hat and use it as a pot lid

Yunnan produces bamboo, and there are large bamboo forests in front of and behind every house in rural areas. They rely on mountains to eat mountains, rely on water to eat water, and rely on bamboo to eat bamboo. Many Yunnan people use bamboo as a material for their daily utensils. Pot lids in mainland China are generally made of metal or wood. Yunnan pot lids are made of woven bamboo.

3. Three mosquitoes, one dish

Mosquitoes in Yunnan are larger, have more types, and bite people more severely. So people joke that three mosquitoes make a dish.

4. Falling in love with a baby on your back

After a Yi girl gets married, she stays at her husband's house for two or three days and then returns home to settle in her natal family, where she eats, lives and works with her natal family. At this time, the husband occasionally visits his wife to fulfill his obligations and enjoy his rights.

5. Grasshoppers can be used as a side dish with wine

Then put the grasshoppers in the pot and roast them slowly over low heat. When roasted until brown, add sesame oil, pepper and other seasonings, and you can pour wine.

6. Monks can fall in love

Yunnan borders Myanmar, Laos and other Southeast Asian countries. These Southeast Asian countries believe in Buddhism very much. When men reach a certain age, they must enter temples to become monks. After adulthood, they will return to secular life and live a secular life of getting married and having children.

7. Old ladies can climb mountains faster than monkeys

People who travel to Yunnan will be surprised to find that some old ladies in their seventies or eighties in rural Yunnan are as light as a swallow when climbing mountains. , as if walking on flat ground, this is the so-called old lady climbing a mountain faster than a monkey.

8. Cars are faster than trains

Alpine valleys abound in Yunnan, and there are steep mountains and ridges everywhere. Therefore, the railways within the territory have many curves and steep slopes. For driving safety reasons, the speed of trains will become very slow after entering the mountainous areas of Yunnan, so that when traveling together, the speed of cars will be faster.
