The cooking method is based on the local Dai flavor to satisfy fans of "wild" fantasy. The food in bamboo tubes has a unique taste. With a natural fragrance, Dai-style food is mainly barbecue, some spicy, crispy, and some characteristic cold salads and desserts. The locals call it "roasted and long-winded", which is a must-eat food for the Water-Splashing Festival of the Dai people.

After a full meal, continue to pass the rubber tree. There are paved stone steps. At the beginning, there is not much feeling. After passing the thousand-year-old banyan tree, the rainforest walks to the end. The security officer of the scenic spot will lead the travelers out of the comfort zone and enter the rainforest. From a muddy path that has been stepped on by someone, with no handrails and unrepaired plank roads, only by looking for it can you go out and be the first person to eat crabs. On the way, you can see the sense of sight, trace the stream, walk in the rainforest, observe clear water fish, and get to know each other. Plants, learning various outdoor survival methods, until arriving at the Dai village, walking 8km + rainforest crossing, and returning to the scenic spot by a passionate pickup truck for 9km, the task of the whole line has been completed.

Every household in the "Chengzi Village" closest to the scenic spot is full of human fireworks. There are villagers wearing Dai costumes, some are driving home on motorcycles, there are laughter from the residential buildings on both sides, and you can understand me.
