Scenic spot introduction:
The Wengding Wa Village in Cangyuan is the most primitive Wa tribe in China. The village is characterized by primitive natural scenery and ancient Wa customs. It has been hailed as "China's last primitive tribe" by National Geographic magazine. Cangyuan Autonomous County is where the Wa people live, and Wengding is a relatively well-preserved Wa village. The mountains and rivers here are majestic, with lush grass and abundant forests. Green farmland and crops are spread up and down the slopes. The quiet river meanders through the village along the foot of the mountain. The Wa folk houses made of bamboo and wood are nestled at the foot of the green mountains. In the early morning, wisps of cooking smoke float over the village. The farmers in simple clothes started their day's work with their cattle. Due to the inconvenience of transportation, they seem to be living in isolation deep in the mountains. Therefore, they also retain a pure land that is difficult to reach by modern civilization. Visitors here can not only enjoy the fresh and charming pastoral scenery, but also appreciate the simplicity and enthusiasm unique to the Wa people. Although they do not have abundant material enjoyment, the smiles that emanate from their hearts are so beautiful and contagious that tourists here forget all their troubles and sorrows and cannot help but blend in and share. This shared joy.Attractions distribution:
Walking into Wa Village, the enthusiastic "touch your black" team on both sides of the gate hold hands to welcome guests from all over the world. Simple Wa houses, walls surrounded by cacti, and the Wa Wang Village, where Wa leaders gathered for meetings during the primitive tribal period, are scattered in the village. The cow heads, goddess totem piles, Wa king's throne and wooden drums in the village all exude the mysterious and ancient flavor of the Wa people. In the local houses where tourists can stay at night, the simple Wa hosts will thoughtfully prepare a sumptuous table of wine and food for the guests. After the meal, they will play a Lusheng song to add to the fun. In this way, in the unique Wa style music, The tired guests fell into a deep sleep. With such pure pastoral scenery and rich Wa customs, I believe all tourists will miss Shu.Scenic spot qualifications:
