Bama is known as the "hometown of longevity in the world", which refers to Bapantun, peace village, Jiazhuan Township in Bama Yao Autonomous County, Hechi, northern Guangxi. It is called Bama Changshou Village. In this small village near the mountains and rivers, there have been many long-lived people over 111 years old since ancient times, and the oldest is 118 years old. The biggest feature here is that when you walk through the stone arch bridge and enter the village, you can see many small signs hanging at the door.
Best tourist season:
You can play here in all seasons, but you must pay attention to the following matters:
1. According to the custom of Bama, you need to prepare a red envelope for visiting centenarians, which ranges from 5-11 yuan.
2. The conversation with the elderly is usually about 15 minutes. Call them "grandpa" or "grandma", and don't send food to the elderly.
3. In fact, you don't need to visit Changshou Village in particular, and you will meet many local old people on your way to Bama for hiking or playing. Maybe the language is unreasonable, but you can see the most normal life of the local elderly.
Food around:
The most delicious food in Changshou Village is of course the farm food cooked by local villagers themselves. In the scenic spot, there are many small restaurants run by villagers, and any one of them can eat food with local characteristics, which is very delicious. Among them, the five most delicious and unique foods are: Bama Xiang pig, Bama oil fish, pearl yellow corn, hemp soup and Bama black goat, in addition to hemp tofu and hemp bitterness.
Bama doesn't have any souvenirs worth buying, but you can try the delicious food there and just stay there for a few more days and feel the ecological environment of the longevity town.
