I am a person who likes small things. Every time I travel, I will choose local specialties, and even if I don't need them, I will buy some for others. This time I went to Greater Bay Area, Pu Tian. I was attracted by the dazzling local specialties, and I still lingered until the end of the trip.

Pu Tian Dawan is a beautiful mountain village in Xinxian County, Henan Province. It is a century-old village with beautiful environment, mountains and rivers and lush pastoral scenery. Arriving in the afternoon, although the mountain village in early winter is bleak, it looks lonely and quiet, which makes people feel at ease easily.

Walking into the mountain village, agricultural products can be seen everywhere. Since the fire broke out in Tianwu Bay, villagers began to sell their own delicious food, the most common of which is tofu milk.

Tofu in Xinxian County is very famous in the whole province, and many people will buy it. I fell in love with it the first time I ate it In the square in front of the village, the whole piece of tofu was sun-dried, white and yellow, and the color was attractive. The villagers said that these are the raw materials for making tofu milk. They are naturally dried in the sun and made by hand and old methods. The tofu milk produced by the assembly line tastes different.

After the tofu is ready, the villagers will sell it at their doorstep. It is milky yellow and neat in blocks. It is used as a side dish or rice when eating. It has a strong flavor and endless aftertaste, and is called "the gold in tofu".

Then I walked around, and I entered a handmade embroidery shop, which was full of embroidery products, from insoles to embroidered shoes to embroidered pillows and hats. The colorful patterns are dazzling.

I like tiger-headed shoes, which are the representative of traditional folk crafts and are rare now. Tiger shoes are for children. The toe cap is a tiger's head, which is cute and exaggerated. The tiger image is used to ward off evil spirits and pray.

Don't underestimate these shoes. The production process is extremely complicated, which requires various stitches such as embroidery, flower picking and seed beating. The colors are mainly red and yellow, and the tiger's mouth, eyebrows, nose and eyes are outlined with thick lines to show its ferocity. I asked, a pair of tiger-headed shoes cost 100 yuan, which seems not too high, you know, they are all handmade.

Insoles are more popular than tiger-headed shoes. They are embroidered with colorful patterns, such as mandarin ducks playing in water and peach blossoms in full bloom. The colors are full and gorgeous, and the animal images are lifelike. You should know that these are all embroidered with needles, which are rare and precious.

A pair of exquisite insoles takes three days to complete, and the technology behind it is years of accumulation. Craftsmanship is popular now, focusing on polishing a product. According to this requirement, there are many craftsmen and artists in Nadianpu Dawan.

There is a bamboo weaving shop in the mountain village. An uncle insisted on knitting utensils with both hands. When we went, he was still knitting, absorbed in his work and didn't look at us. Uncle is ingenious, making many daily necessities into craft bamboo weaving, which is of high quality, beautiful and generous, and full of pure natural atmosphere.

Uncle said he had been doing this for a long time. A simple bamboo basket can only weave two pieces a day. This kind of concentration of doing only one thing in your life is the best ingenuity.

There are many cultural and creative shops in Greater Bay Area, Pu Tian, and many small objects are unique to the local area, such as lovely grass dolls, which are filled with grass on the mountain and endowed with agility by villagers, making them look small and lovely.

Greater Bay Area, Pu Tian is also the first village in Henan with the theme of "Maker". There is a maker park in the village where young people can display their talents and pursue their dreams.

Since it was changed into a tourist village, the income of local villagers has increased and their happiness has become stronger. Villagers also sell specialty products through e-commerce and expand sales channels. The idle courtyard on weekdays has also been changed into a mountain house, which can meet the accommodation of a family. I also eat green farmhouse meal, which is healthy and nutritious.

I saw a beautiful bookstore in the village-Meet by chance. Its name is elegant, just like the concept of slow-paced life conveyed by Pu Tian and Greater Bay Area. Here, meet the real life and meet the warm and peaceful self.
