RV China Border Tour Day145-147: Wengding Primitive Tribe, Hulu Town

Last time I mentioned: Park Changnyeong Hall Square ...

Today we came to Lincang City. Lincang is located between the Lancang River and the Nu River. It is named because it is close to the Lancang River. It is home to 23 ethnic groups and is one of the birthplaces of Wa culture. .

Park at the lively Lincang Municipal Government Square at night

In the evening, we cooked pork ribs and lotus root soup in the RV and ate cucumber salad.

Good night!

The next day, drive to Cangyuan Wa Autonomous County to visit the Wengding primitive tribe

Entering Cangyuan Wa Autonomous County, you can see the cow head logo of the Wa ethnic group everywhere.

Coming to the Thousand Meters Chinese Painting Gallery , the unique mountain scenery is like a splash-ink painting on rice paper, stretching for thousands of meters.

Hehehe I like the beautiful scenery here very much

At noon, we stopped at the foot of the mountain to drink pork rib soup and eat pickles.

After dinner, we came to CangyuanYahua Valley. There were landslides along the way and it was not easy to walk.

The sun was scorching outside, and as soon as we entered the valley, we got into the shade.

Climb thousands of steps and finally reach the top of the mountain with pleasant scenery

The little red figure carved high on the cliff is a cliff painting. Although it is different from what you imagined, it is still very interesting.

I think it is the most interesting cliff painting among them.

After reading the precious cliff paintings, we came to today's final destination - Wengding primitive tribe . "Wengding" means a place shrouded in mist in Wa language. This is the most complete preservation of the history, culture and characteristic architecture of the Wa people. The Wa people live in tribes.

Overlooking the entire tribal village from a high place, the Wa people still live in such a primitive tribe today.

The distinctive Wa houses are very primitive and simple in construction and function.

At night, the tribe looks a bit eerie

I was shivering when I got back to the car, but hehehe slept like a pig. Good night!

The next day, continue to Lancang Lahu Autonomous County

Passing by the Cangyuan Earthquake Reconstruction Monument

Arrive at Cangyuan Calabash Town at noon. Calabash is the totem of the ethnic minorities here.

In the center of the town stands a huge gourd

The relief of a gourd has birds on the top, humans in the middle, and livestock on the bottom.

giant scoop

Ethnic sculptures should be used to hold some kind of ceremony or festival

Mengjiao Tribe

The walls are covered with little figures painted on cliffs. The little figures with wings on their bodies should be wizards, but the painting style is strange. No matter how you look at it, they look like the ruffian boss in SpongeBob SquarePants.
