Living in Shanghai, your heart is still in Banna.
Banna recall with nostalgia the mountains and rivers, plants and trees; unforgettable Basho set off the Dai bamboo house, Gan Lanba side sunset dusk, quiet flow of the Lancang River; even forget where the lovely simplicity of the Dai people, the Dai quiet simple life, everything.
I stayed five nights in Jinghong, the first three days are living in Jinghong, cursory look at scenic spots. After two days, listening to friends went to Meng-Han (Ganlan Ba) and Dai Yuan, living in village homes. When I set foot on a Dai bamboo house I deeply love, and then in the past two days that I travel all the happiest two days, there was never felt so comfortable and return a sense of Only then was to experience what is the real Xishuangbanna. When I go, I have been there as my home, really do not want to go, and sometimes wonder if they can live there for life, had been there like poetry, pastoral life, put aside all the troubles the city, the simple single, and quietly stay there ... a real life as it happens.
Dai dry bar-style bamboo house is quite distinctive, divided into two levels, the lower the general store some belongings, and stocking some poultry. The old village dog has a habit of quiet volts on the first floor, boring watching other people busy. On the first floor there is hung a swing, sitting sloshing sloshing very comfortable, what do not want to. The upper level is used daily. Slippers barefoot onto the second floor, suddenly will feel extremely spacious, the whole house structure is a bit like a Japanese-style, living room, drawing room, the floor mats are paved. Dai general use was short, bamboo tables and bench, but I like to sit on the ground directly. Can be overturned any legs lying, he was how you stand up, hands pillows, watching the large high-rise roof, the heat generated by the outside, which is very cool, when the worm is called bird-ear, from different places to chat with friends lying, tired When clicking on the squint, very kind of feel at home.
Came here, the old village is very enthusiastic offered to take me to the village to see. Dai a very honest old hands you can see the Dai-specific tattoo, he would like to introduce a child the same: This is my brother's house, which is playing Silver, 66 years Lancang River floods, flooding, a house so high , ... and will ask you curious about this city that. Whenever a beautiful place, he was always excited to say, "take pictures, take pictures." Although this can only understand what he said 20%, but often we can understand each other's time, really feel very happy.
If you do not go to Xishuangbanna, the Lancang River, then would be a great regret. Only in Xishuangbanna in Jinghong is far from overlooking the bridge. By Ganlan Ba, from the Dai villages to the Lancang River just 10 minutes, you can go straight riverside, feel the real atmosphere of the Lancang River. This is a unique beautiful river, one side is dotted with tropical plants, mountains, one side of the quietly flowing over the Lancang River, she was like a beautiful little Dai, the enchanting but sentimental, meandering flow over this piece of beautiful land. Dai lived in a two-day, often come to Riverside to see, live in the city who will never really experience the beauty of her. One day in the evening, the old village rented boats lead us to the center of the river to see the island and come back when the sun has been sidelined sun, touch of a beautiful sunset to the whole river is dyed golden yellow, water flow, indistinct If fairyland, far re-Luan Diego peaks, clouds Yin Yun, Gan Lanba on the palm near the banana became silhouette, haze, Lancang River, Gan Lanba an infinite beauty ...
Live in a two-day Dai lot of memories came flooding back to me, as well as that of the less Graceful, the lovely simplicity of folk customs, Dai happy splashing water from different places come passerby, even though it is just my short stay in an inn, but everything has been deeply imprinted in my mind. When walking, the old mayor having left to say When are you going longer come. I will definitely come back, it has become a part of me, my heart home.
Also describes some of my insights:
1. Traffic Banna unreasonable train, so only the aircraft (520 yuan to Kunming, the full price, construction costs have 50, do not discount all year round) and automotive (18 hours to Kunming, 160-odd each).
The distribution of scattered sites in Xishuangbanna, in order to Jinghong as the center, points east, south and west, the northern route. In the mind there is a map of Banna as long as you can, Eastern Ganlan Ba (that is, Meng-Han) (Attractions: Dai Yuan), Menglun (Attractions: Plants circle), south Menglong (Attractions: Man shoots dragon tower), to the west menghai , daluo (10 km west Menghai another attraction: King really octagonal pavilion; by daluo may transit to Myanmar); north mengyang (in the north, 10 km Attractions: Ye Xianggu)
National Road has bus terminal in Jinghong, 7:00 later, almost 20-30 minutes a bus to go around, and close to 1 hour can be.
I want to go on a direct intercept passing car, and drivers say something very convenient.
Jinghong city in the pocket, you can rent a bike, 8 per day, very convenient. Such as the energetic can ride on the attractions to the outside Jinghong. Available to the hotel, the reception desk to ask, Xishuangbanna, 100 meters north, there is a guesthouse, two elderly people were very good.
2. Attractions Man listening Park (Spring Fun Park): to complain to see, only the main entrance of the small bronze statue of Premier Zhou Enlai splashing water in mind, so go and see.
Ganlan Ba Dai Yuan: Experience Dai style, very good. Daily 15:00 to 5:30 with dance performances and splashing Dai activities have to be to participate in ah. When splashing water, he saw a middle-aged women on the Dai Escape quickly, I heard a very powerful head, throwing 10 people, but one.
Menglun Botanical Gardens: If you like tropical plants, you can go and see, it is best to request a tour, or dance in the clouds where the general.
King really octagonal pavilion: There are a large number of Bodhi, beautiful. Novices, together with photographs, but to a dollar.
Daluo: If you do not want to leave can not go to Myanmar, where, in addition to a forest outside of Dumu nothing else. Would like to leave the country, where it could do, I heard that the morning run in the evening back on the day, 200 yuan, but also with a guide.
Ye Xianggu: Experience the tropical rain forests, is very good, if you are lucky to see elephants, it is exciting. Heard of elephants two days over again, unfortunately I did not see. Forests are also two 10-meter-long swing, be sure to swing ah.
Version Nasen Lin Park: outside to look, do not go in, I heard that, and Ye Xianggu similar.
Meng Fei Long Man shoots tower: no go, is really a pity. But I will go to Banna's.
Mengla: I heard that there's tropical rain forests is best Unfortunately, no time, I will go.
3. Ate mainly in Yunnan with hot and sour.
Suansunzhuji, Suansunzhuyu: I must eat delicious ah. But the pot too big.
Dai BBQ: very unique, I Jinghong golden beach night markets, the Lancang River on the night spots of the extra dishes, very good to eat.
Pineapple rice: pineapple sticky rice steamed in a good place to eat, the sweet of.
Roasted Chicken: I play the way Rod bought one-meter-long bamboo pole on the sandwiched with various ingredients baked into the chicken, holding it like holding a hatchet! I have bumps in the rear compartment consumes a very tasty, must eat!
There are many Dai-style dishes, such as living in the words of a certain food to be Dai.
Addition of a local fruit and cheap, on-street lot Shuiguo Tan. 4,5 more months, I went to the July general.
1 yuan a pineapple, peel directly after eating, is very fresh, sweet, Shanghai, never eat less of.
There are jackfruit, papaya, Western lotus ...
4. Accommodation in Jinghong lived 2: Xishuangbanna Hotel 100 yuan / day, not so good, from the golden sandy beaches are too close to sleep at night, noisy night markets.
Golden Banna Hotel 130 yuan / day, not bad, there is a swimming pool, stay for 5 yuan once, be sure to bring swimming trunks even.
Two days before the proposal to live in Jinghong travel the western and southern lines, the back can accommodate Dai.
If you like the rich tropical scenery, exotic ethnic minority customs, then go!
But to talk in good faith with the minority, not something the city with the past, the love of the land, you will feel a lot!
