Discovering Brown Hill
Even for the locals who live in Xishuangbanna, Brown mountains and there are still many legends and mysterious atmosphere. There, inhabited mainly by ethnic minorities in Xishuangbanna, one of the clan has lived in Blang. Hill is also named here. As the traffic blocking, remote, in addition to routine civil servants, a few scattered traders, the local most people actually have little chance to Brown Hill. People mention Brown's Hill, and wild animals are always inseparable. For people who love hunting, in the years prior to hunting, there really is a hunter's paradise. Brown Mountain area between the mountainous region, full of trees of the primeval forest, which habitat for bison, wild boar, tiger, leopard, tiger cubs, red deer, monkeys and other wild animals. Brown's story about the mountains hunting, casually walked into Brown Hill a cottage, surrounded by bonfires, a few days and nights I am afraid that is also lots to talk about.
5 years ago, I had been once. Brown Hill left my original, mysterious atmosphere is still vivid and unforgettable. Isolated here, as if the "paradise": can be seen everywhere along the well-preserved primeval forest; the majority of all ethnic groups living in the relatively primitive state of poverty and the rich. Poverty is the material. In most villages, people live in as the "birdcage" the same hut, in addition to the daily lives of a few simple items like appliances, the "birdcage" small space is difficult to accommodate more of the life of luxury . Here good ecological environment, but also to make people concentrate on the Brown Mountain, "mining Ju Tori, the leisurely to see the mountain," as idyllic life like all the yearnings and aspirations: Here, man and mountain, and water, and forest close to integrated, life was simple and natural, complete return to basics.
Brown Hill was to go in a hurry to return to much haste, touched like left such impression. Days in an increasingly flat, the inner surface from time to time Brown Hill faint shadow of Korea, that mountain, and that water, that person, always haunted. Perhaps, in the depths of my soul has always been a wild flowing blood, the original ecological state of human life is full of longing and fascination. With the Buddhist explanation, as if a moment was a result of inter-planted, has been waiting for a chance result of ... ...
Return to the Brown Mountain
In my scenario, return to the Brown Mountain is a piece inevitable. Thereby expanding the shuttle bus to the Brown Township government, and then on foot through out, is entirely unintentional.
Brown's trip to that mountain after a certain period of a day, I sit in Jinghong City "foreigner" frequented by one called "the United States and the United States coffee" bar where backpackers from around the world look at the information left behind , it was found Brown Mountain Tai Meng Long has long been written in many foreign tour on China's self-help book like Yunnan, part of a classic trekking routes. Dunsheng lamented: thousands of miles of the foreigner knew how to play let's this place, and may include its own, including many locals are living in this mountain I do not know clouds deep ah.
Select on foot through the Brown Hill, has naturally become my way of a return visit to Brown's Hill. This opportunity to finally in 2003, "11" long vacation arrived. October 1, in the state capital of Xishuangbanna - Jinghong life of 8-bit "Donkey" Friends of the back pack and go off the line and started the long-awaited foot Brown Mountain - damenglong trip.
The weather that day was unusual, in the early morning it began to rain. We consider again, the sleeping tent all ready to leave, bring enough to pay for three days of dry food and rain gear on the road. The Menghai city is 12:30, is under a heavy rain. A pedestrian rain washed into a nearby Muslim restaurant wolf, return bus terminal in time to the complete 14 o'clock bus to the Brown Mountain. From the Menghai menghun dam out, Kun Luo along the highway heading for a large segment of the distance and then suddenly on the road towards the left side of a turn, a passenger on the steep mountain road. I once again set foot on this mountain is dreamed of.
Brown Hill is still very few people. Our bus ride (43-seat vehicles are sitting more than 20 people) into the mountains, in addition to the morning encounter issued by the empty bus coming out from the Brown Hill, met no other vehicles on the road. Brown's Hill Road leading to bumpy winding spiral. Along the way, Castle Peak accompanied green water surrounded by golden rice dotted the green forest, the faction of the ideal world charming scenery. 5 years later, into the Brown's Hill, it seems nothing changes in mood. The scenery outside the window because the car has not changed: the forest is so lush, the roadside village, or primitive, ancient, still come across the mountain and the shepherd boy stay late. Encounter, those Blang kids roared with excitement towards bus ... ...
From time to time on a quiet mountain road, raining, weather is also strange: This section of road is also under the heavy rain, and the other section of the road but the road Dry, without water. Hill Road on the bus into the deeper the more dense forest and vegetation types of the more abundant, rushing toward the vast expanses of green, and constantly impact on our vision. Taxi companies in which, as through a green dream.
The Dablanc Township resident, when the Government is already 18:30. The harvest fields and mist shrouded the sunset after the rain the shining of Castle Peak, the colors brilliant, beautiful and charming, as if put us into a fairy-tale world.
Warm and honest in this village has long been waiting for dry (pre-contacted), but also help us arrange delicious place to live, save a lot of trouble. Eat dinner, everyone in the streets silently stroll around in a circle, early in the sleep.
Blang Mountain exceptionally quiet night, a night without dreams.
Brown Mountain Morning
October 2 early morning wake up, out of the hotel, we saw the opposite side of Castle Peak does not disperse on the mist-filled, like a beautiful purity of the townships to get up early regardless of the dressing, do not have a frightening moving charming sophistication. Are catching up with the harvest season, the morning mist shrouded the fields faction harvest scene, quietly in conveying the joy of harvesting.
Brown Hill the morning of the charm does not stop there, to the morning market on time for a drive, they should not have some fun.
The last years, when morning market are arrayed along the street to sell vegetables in Blang women thinly. However, the selling flavor, quite a unique species, are mining the mountains to the characteristics of wild vegetables, wild fruits, as well as from the river to touch the fish, shrimp and so on. The morning market now have a special place, and to be a lot of excitement, the transaction types and quantities of agricultural by-products is clearly to appear. Since the market there are many kinds of seasonal vegetables, which were all without any chemical fertilizers, Shi green food ah. One to follow the mother out of selling vegetables in the Blang girl caught my eye. I raise my camera targeting her, she was very shy around dodge. Who sell fruit's mother rushed out of the pickled olives, olive grasping How many pieces of fruit to me. Ate 2, Suanse taste after a long reverberating Unit, sweet fragrance in the mouth.
Xishuangbanna, Blang believe in Hinayana Buddhism (Theravada Buddhism). The new Man E Mountain Village in the Peak, there is one. He's back, naturally going to look at. Morning rush end, we came to the township government in the vicinity of the new Man E Mountain Village. Jin Zhai, after a leisurely squatting Mulou Bulang man looked at us, full of curiosity. Zhaili repair of a concrete road to the summit of the Burmese Temple, was walking up a long stage. Before climbing a few steps far along the Buddha saw the temple steps to go down, as if like a premonition. We saw a pedestrian, feet a bit unwieldy large Buddha Temple turned to accompany us to return to Myanmar. Five years later, in addition to Burma temple dedicated to the one next to the multi-shipped from Thailand to the black statue outside, it seems that there is no other change. Compared with the Dai-built temple, this temple seems primitive, original, true reflection of these two somewhat different aspects of life in people.
In the Burmese temple next to sand back the first time I witnessed the redemption of this practice: two dressed in a black headscarf wearing 100 costumes, Blang woman head wore a plastic bag preparation, from struggling to climb the stairs. Climb up to, will be back to the sand, piled on the Burmese temple next to a lot of sand, piled into a tower-like, after paying homage to his knees. They kept repeating the move a day.
According to Blang Buddha said, who has done bad things, bad things, to get the Buddha's forgiveness, we must continually put the sand back into the river to Burma Temple, Xiangfo atonement, and seek relief. This matter so that I could feel that the masses of local Blang how devout belief in Buddhism and how deeply rooted.
Mountain walk through
Coming down from the Burmese temple, we are on the road. Brown, a native of the mountains Hani guy, township government armed forces minister Li Jie enthusiasm to do our guide.
The trek across the brown mountain, Weidong Village is a necessary, this is also the first day of hiking destinations. Weidong village 12 kilometers far from the township government, is a Hani village, near the stockade a very steep waterfall, was well known. 5 years ago, I shook bumpy mountain road all the way to Weidong Zhai, no Gude Shang see waterfalls, only Chile Dun dinner on the night returned.
The last to go mountain tourism is now being built off Xihuan. However, the income is not the purpose of the forest is the golden green fields, there is a crystal clear stream alone, whispering, all the way with our peers. In such a harvest season, walking in such a blue sky green water accompanied by the Castle Peak field, surrounded by mountain cottage road, almost like a landscape painting into a colorful, it is really a pleasant surprise! Ease of mind to see our beautiful rural scenery along the way, photo-hing big hair, the beauty of income from time to time along the camera, burst into singing along. Return to the pastoral feel really fantastic!
Once again passing through a class called the South East, Lahu Village. 5 years ago, I came here, they were extremely poor and backward village shocked by the situation. This stockade all the villagers were too poor to live in You Zhaiyou small "cage", the utterly destitute, all pale and thin, ragged clothes, lived in not enough clothes and food days. Five years have passed, ban the South East, great changes have taken place, old thatched cottage has been replaced by a spacious Mulou roof. Walled most out of prime-age adult in this busy farm work, leaving only the elderly and children. Front of my camera with them, old and young are scared 4 dodge, only to shoot the black dog upstairs Moriie. The dog standing at the wood upstairs, looked at us with great vigilance. Lahu saw a dog as a friend, between people and dogs have deep feelings. See our walk a longer distance, and hiding in the room of the child was only quietly opened the door and looked out.
Wei-Dong village to go on the road, there is one called "fairy feet" of the place is very famous in the local.
"Fairy feet" in a village near the Ming Jiaopa Code of Blang, approximately one kilometer apart. Buddha is said to have set foot here, the local people also have different legends. Li Jie for us to talk about a the "fairy feet" of the legend: Once upon a time there is a pair of Blang farming couple in this wasteland. Nothing will be available for harvest in the days over the poorer. One day, a toast passing through this place, learned of the situation, the court pointed out a piece of wasteland next to the river there is a small miracle of a large stone right Blang couple said, as long as the stone lifted, the grow grain harvest will be . Toast the couple skeptical manner according to the words to do. A result, indeed efficacious Since then, the stone will be dedicated to them. Today, the village of Blang village par code in the "fairy feet" on the roof of a small built houses, and in which large pieces of stone, brush a layer of powder is dedicated to a small Buddha statue. 2 small cottage next to Bodhi, the tree still attached to the streamer. If you know beforehand that passing through the area, no one will not notice this very common roadside hut.
All the way sunshine, we sometimes walk through the jungle, and sometimes baked by the sun, go sweat. 1:30, we finally reached the village Weidong. 12 km path of more than 4 hours, we are pretty good mental state.
Weidong Hani River Village is located in a hillside, the villagers Mulou patchwork manner built along the slope. River opposite the Mid-slopes have been cleared into a paddy field of the. Has just entered Zhai Men, we see the opposite in that one golden village of the Hani terraced fields, we feel very comfortable and pleasant. Warm hospitality of the village have been killed chickens, made Hani guests the most impressive dish - chicken and rice porridge waiting for us (before departure, Li Jie makes motorcycle to inform the village to prepare lunch for us).
Climbing Baizhang Yan Falls
A village we smell a wave baked wine out of wine when you distribute, import really were not disappointed: I am really fragrant alcohol of the wine again!
After dinner, drink enough wine, Li Jie and his party started to return to the township government. Mayor arranged for a guy named Young III, Hani, took us to Weidong Bai Zhangyan waterfall near the village.
8 "donkey" sub under the scorching sun, along the opposite Weidong Hani terraced fields in a rugged mountain pack light ahead. Shining in the sun, the terrace issued golden light. Terrace at the junction with the virgin forest there is a diversion canal. We go straight down the weeds of the ditch right-hand less than 10 minutes, I heard "buzzing" sound of the water. A few more steps and saw a silver band down from the mountain streams Fei Liu, spilling splash great success. Waterfall about 10 meters high. Photo photo-op, and we followed behind the three Yang, along the waterfall next to the steep mountain climb. Bai Zhangyan Falls group of insurance is really unexpected. The cliff paths are slippery little carelessness could slide into the foot of the mountain. However, everyone's spirits high. Accompanied by three MM, one point is not timid, and GG in the wizard, under their arm, under the weeds in the jungle without fear upward crawl. Climb over a dangerous road, eyes showing a second waterfall, much higher than the first, more sublime. Fei Liu falls, cliff a jade beads flying splash. Excited group of people facing the waterfall can not help but praise the sound issue. Magnificent waterfalls in thick jungle in front of a donkey are open-minded, bare nature, threw himself back to the embrace of nature, the feeling is really incomparable comfort and cozy!
Emotional donkeys were followed Young three behind continue to work in steep, rugged cliff climbing. A second waterfall climb the top of the wizard's arm, a month off from the stream next to the leap-frog, the situation is so grave that the slightest mistake, they will fall to go. Emergency vent down across the stream and then climb. A PLMM crawling crawling in the jungle, suddenly at the foot of a slide, good insurance! Almost slipped a few tens of meters high streams, thanks to timely and approached the back pulled up to the GG.
After a difficult journey, we finally reach the third platform falls (more than a second and high a lot, about 40 meters high). Falls around the jungle, surrounded by steep cliff vine wrapped around Ge, towering trees and majestic beyond have added air of mystery. Although not large streams may be in the woods came a sudden volley Zhixie, as if a veil of white fell into a forest, there is an indescribable beauty of the dim misty.
This waterfall base level of more than 10 units, to the highest waterfall in the third station, it was already 17:30, and we did not climb again. It is said to see waterfalls were the most appropriate time for the morning around 10 o'clock. At that time, too much sun can shine just the Falls, the waterfall will be raised on a beautiful rainbow, hanging in the flyings jade-like mist on the very beautiful.
The rocks near the waterfall there are many hornet's nest, a number of villagers have been carefully counted, as many as 90 wasp nest. Waterfall on the rocks, there is a pit hole. A small hole can be inside the cave had been great. Before the hole on the "living," with 100 small monkey shape. Later, may be affected by human interference, the monkeys were gone. Hole high, very few people climb into the village went to the only one who climbed into the hole into mining "monkey blood", the out of the crazy, and then later died. After that, then no one would dare climb into the hole. Monkey gone, the cave has ushered in a large number of guests - bats. I do not know since when, that brought together hundreds of thousands of cave bats. 4,5 each month of a particular day, cave bats flew out to be a large-scale time. That size, very spectacular, was shot down with the camera, but also on the TV news.
These wonders are subsequently return to their villages to drink only heard.
Hani guest cottage
Back to Weidong Zhai had been 6:30, the village head one is busy for us to do to eat. 8 "donkey" sub-tired at the balcony of his house flew around. Village more than 60-year-old father on the balcony smoking a Smokeless, smiling face, full of good looks at us.
Dark sky gradually down, and we entered the house, sit around the fireplace. Village has been good for us a pot of hot burning feet of water.
Dinner was finally put in the ranks, content, and at noon to eat less, steaming, fragrant. A group of people two tables, made of rattan strips around the local round-table and sat down and began drinking. Main dishes, or rice porridge stewed chicken and the rest are Suansunzhuji, miscellaneous Fried Chicken, stewed dog meat, bitter soup, peanuts, pickled banana heart, is very rich. Pickled banana heart is the first time to eat, taste good, very appetizing. From the food and living point of view, with the local Blang, Lahu compared to the days of Brown's Hill Hani relatively better.
Weidong from the Brown Mountain old ban chang village to move out. Brown Mountain in the vicinity of the Hani village, it seems that classes can all be traced back to the old chapter, where the Hani genuine preserved folk customs, there are over a year Pa Ga Soup Festival (Hani and New Year), coincides with the old ban Zhang Jian Walled 100 years. We drove from the Brown Hill Road into one another across the vast expanses of tea land, after several twists and turns came to hide in the dense forest of old ban chang Walled participate in village festivals. Villagers are honest, kind and warm, hospitable impression had been remembered.
I do not know when to drink alcohol and listen to the village mayor several Liaolehenduo things, as well as anecdotal Baizhang Yan waterfall wonders. Drinking wine, everyone rejected the invitation of several villagers, all playing at home in the village ground floor to sleep. Go to bed, came home in a Hani village small group, one of whom is in a GG taught students. Everyone around the teacher, but also styled a second wine shop. In addition to donkeys who had the best capacity for liquor to accompany the teacher to stay together "battle", the other machines see the flash, and soon the sleeping drunk.
October 3 morning, host family Jiupaqilai busy to do breakfast for everyone. A "donkey" Jiupaqilai son before dawn every day to see the stars still remained Morningstar, revisit childhood looking at the night sky in a shed in a good mood. I awoke, went down Mulou, climbed to the village and enjoy the charming village Hani rural scenery. Morning, Weidong the fields opposite the village rises a layer of clouds, far looked like a fairyland in general attractive.
Come back, a group of people have all got up, and sitting on the balcony, shower in the morning in the genial sun light. To get up early the villagers have also opened their own busy. 1 GG saw a few points to far out of the village barber, let me quickly captured. It turned out next to a donkey is waiting. I have photographed, he suggested the name "waiting for the donkey hair." Oh, interesting.
Weidong Zhai a unique landscape there: every woman holding hands all the time a pure hemp line package weave. The way both in Shimoda, or stopping by on his way out, the basic not leave the body. Weidong Village on foot to the "foreigners" like those of pure hand-woven jute yarn package. Every time I come to be bought. Some "foreigners" is very slippery, specifically from Thailand to bring big mouth aluminum pan and on foot to Weidong village, barter, a big gulp of aluminum pan and bring it 2, 30 hand-twine replacement, a heart Gouhei The.
After lunch, we start at 9 am on time. Still want to do three of the Young Wizard. Cottage along the right path out of the village. I switch back to a very lingering looked Weidong Zhai, once again with the camera to record the Hani village's only reluctantly Sheung.
Through the Brown Mountain
The day's journey of about 17 km, are Bashansheshui. We are ready to come to a Mingjiaomanbo of Blang village accommodation. Heard that there are hot springs near the village on our party had a great temptation, the idea of hot springs bubble all the way never ceased.
8 "donkey" at midnight and walked mountain Road, sometimes walking through the jungle where, from time to time wading, into perspective is still in the mountains. Sometimes, they walked, a small river on the block in front of the mountain. Water is not deep, nor too fast, can be at the foot of the stone is slippery. We Tuo Lexie, help each other with, wade by. Sometimes, in the densely vegetated mountain walking a great section of the road, suddenly a worn cross in front of a bamboo bridge, walking on the bridge, shake sway, do not have some fun.
The way, we enter pass a Lahu stockade rest. This stockade among all the small thatched room. Next to a crystal-clear stream across from the Walled side. The other side of the river is the vast expanse of virgin forest. Far heard, "Hua Hua" sound of the water and children playing in the river, the laughter. We came downstairs one of rest, a face vicissitudes of life, clothing, ragged old man is the balcony of the Lahu cut tobacco. This scenario seen sour people's hearts to hand, took out a lot of candy given to the elderly. Elderly people dissatisfied with a wrinkled face showing a brilliant smile, eat very fragrant. Song 2 is the Lahu village of Walled name, called it very strange, was too poor to have that simple.
Out of pine two forts and a very dense forest along the mountain roads, and the roads covered with weeds, a MM walk in the front walk and walk, a nearly 2-meter-long black snake suddenly crossed in front of her past, she was scared exclaimed loudly. Walking in the back of the wizard MM Yang 3 was astounded. He said, as if he is a king cobra. Really dangerous!
Sometimes, passing a number of hamlet, we did not quite welcome, keep in crude thatched room and a watchdog of our staring contests and bark to stay at home are afraid of seeing the children of strangers, are hiding in the half-open door to steal看.
To Daman Bo zhaiqian, we've got a very tough road. If we say that the day before the walk is also worth a vestibular walks, then October 3 it can be said on this day go heavy and hard, a people are tired all tired. In particular, I and a MM, crawling behind the waterfall when the leg joints sprained tendons, the pain from a severe downturn, only teeth, adhere to walk forward. Thus the way was the hot sun baked, uphill downhill, ever in the test of our patience.
Mambo Village surrounded by the Castle Peak, under a pristine creek across from the Village next to it looks very beautiful. In fact, not in the Mambo spa village, but also a gap of two kilometers. Mambo rest in the village for a while, we continue to work in Hot Springs embarked. Watching us find any of the appearance of the village's children are surprised, ever end with, until out of the village.
At 5 pm, we finally reached the hot springs, can not help but disappointed - the so-called underground Tang Chu spa is only a small share of water, can only be used for hot hot chicken. At once, thought to the United States and the United States to soak hot springs, Xie recover from fatigue shattered all expectations.
We listlessly lying next to a hot spring just returned from the mountains to move down the Aini village - Cha la chay upstairs in a wooden rest. The owner was not home. Cha la chay villagers are still the majority of mountain crafts. 1 MM tired, lying on the floor up on sleep. Host family's dog is very gentle way to see who slept beside her. Hey, this piece of harmony and warmth, I photographed the picture has been down.
We had planned to spend the night in a spa or Mambo village. From this vehicle, it can be through damenglong. There may be from the big Meng longzhen nearly 20 kilometers away, had to go an entire day to reach. We discussed a moment: a number of "donkey" October 5 to do the revolution, two GGMM also go scarred, a great strain on longer follow the day was definitely overwhelmed at the same time will also affect the second day of the revolutionary work . Unanimously decided to rent a tractor last night rushed to the big Meng longzhen accommodation.
Walled to pull from the check dam damenglong this bumpy dirt road, but also bad slippery, bumpy too powerful tractors are dangerously heavy, almost turned the car on several occasions, Zhengou exciting! 8 people crammed in a tractor insurance find music, all the way laughter continued.
Damenglong to eat barbecue
In the slippery mountain road bumps along the 8 km, tractor carrying us into the damenglong dam. Damenglong Yehao go over the dam area of the road, and are spacious, flat Shashi Lu. The field is replete with broad school of harvest scene, the scene is very spectacular harvest. Dai villages are passing, every village has a Burmese temple, the temple has a monk, self-contained Road landscape.
In order to successfully return before dark chara Village, Hani, Dai village chef at the roadside where looked for a mini-van to one of our cars down to the Dai master. We crowded into the mini-van, bathed in golden light of sunset, along the road watching the charming rural scenery, a walk through Brown's Hill after the satisfaction of the new heart wells up.
Meng longzhen reaching the sky was dark. We looked for a hotel stay there, washing away the finish straight to a very famous local barbecue restaurant Dai Flavor - Taron Brian, taste authentic damenglong barbecue. Ravenous donkey who appetite to eat a big release. The Dai and Jinghong barbecue flavor compared damenglong barbecue taste does have its uniqueness.
From the Brown Mountain to damenglong two days on foot, we walked over 30 kilometers. For 8-bit ass in the vast majority of people on foot so far is the first time. Is particularly worth mentioning is accompanied by three MM, although some minor injuries a small pain, physical and mental state was unexpectedly good.
October 4 early morning up to damenglong of the fair trade market a walk. Market size is much greater than the Brown Mountain, farm types, the number of varied and colorful, everything. . The difference between mountains and the dam is also very evident at the market. A head wearing a "cowboy" hat of the Dai women attracted my camera. To see me around her side, took the opportunity to sell to me. In addition to Tongqun She was also wearing a hat selling overhead. In her sweet persuasion, I really bought one, but, later returned home, forgotten by the roadside, a Burmese temple.
Visit all morning and we went to town not far from the tower of Man dragon bamboo shoots (Dai language called "Tower waxy"). Man Dragon main tower and several smaller towers are built in a tower base on the same main towers 16.29 meters high, surrounded also has eight small towers, the shape of bamboo shoots, but also like a gourd; tower base diameter of 8.6 meters, shape was octagonal. According to Dai language documented by the book, this tower was built in Dai Li 565 years (AD 1204), has been classified as national heritage preservation projects.
That afternoon, a friend of MM and in what house restaurant dinner we Dai flavor. After lunch, a pedestrian crowd in a rented mini-bus, the voyage took more than 60 kilometers to return home safely, ending this period of exciting unending journey on foot.
A four-day trip, the means of transport apart from the feet, there are minibus, buses, tractors and mini-car; In addition to enjoy watching along the beautiful natural scenery, but also cursory of Blang, Hani, Lahu Dai customs, eating Blang, Hani, Dai snacks; go all the way though difficult, can be also filled with song and laughter, the body although tired, tired, mental relaxation is absolutely free. For eight donkeys, the donkeys this line will never forget ... ...
