Yanhe Tujia Autonomous County's First Sheep Soup Festival, Tasting Unique Tujia Local Goats
I usually like to run around and play alone. Although I have gained a lot, the journey is too "torturous". But this time, I brought my eldest cousin with me. In order not to make trouble, I signed up for a tour group and followed the travel agency for a while, thinking that the two of them would have a contest, and this contest would be in Yanhe Tujia Autonomous County. Just in time for their lamb soup pot festival.
As soon as I got out of the car, I saw the staff setting up the site. It was very atmospheric. The site was arranged at the wharf on the bank of the Wujiang River. This is also the place to take a boat to visit the "Lizhi Gorge", one of the Wujiang gorge. It is called the Hedong Tourist Wharf.
Passing by, taste Tujia mutton powder
There are a lot of snacks along the river, big dishes - full soup mutton, Tujia nine big bowls, Tujia beef soup pot; Chinese dishes - cold Zheergen, bean curd buckwheat noodles, gray tofu, Tujia wrapped noodles, Tujia handmade water noodles; small ones - glutinous rice Steamed stuffed buns, crisps, rice tofu, soy milk fritters, and turtle dove nest tofu that you have never seen before. It can be said that Yanhe is a veritable foodie city.
This kimchi is the heavenly match of mutton powder
Seeing this steaming hot lamb soup pot early in the morning, do you want to have a bite too! Look at the stomach is warm.
The native goats of the Tujia nationality along the river are different from the goats in other places. First of all, they don’t have as strong a smell as the goats raised on the grasslands, but it doesn’t affect the taste of the mutton itself. It’s amazing. Secondly, the body of mutton contains lysine and glutamic acid. This may be related to the growth environment of the goats. The goats here are placed on both sides of the Wujiang River, eating grass that no one tramples on, there are many centuries-old Chinese herbal medicines in it, and drinking Wujiang River water and mountain mineral water. Therefore, the "Tujia Tujia Goat" brand is well-known at home and abroad. It's just that this place was previously a remote and backward area in China that was little known. Now it has begun to develop, the tourism industry has gradually improved, and the number of foreigners has gradually increased, so its name is gradually known to people.
Lizhi Gorge Scenic Area
After breakfast, we boarded the boat and set off to visit "Lizhi Gorge". The big Three Gorges, the small Three Gorges, and Lizhi Gorge today. Due to the construction of the dam, the prosperity of the Three Gorges on the Yangtze River no longer exists, and the reputation of the Three Gorges on the Wujiang River has taken advantage of the trend. Let’s go today to see if it is worthy of the saying of "coming from behind".
We started from the city and slowly entered the countryside, feeling the idyllic atmosphere. At the same time, it calmed down my irritable heart, and I was in it as the scenery changed.
We also entered the canyon at this time, and our eyes brightened. Such a beautiful scenery is only because of the sky. Usually when encountering mountains and rivers, we use "beautiful mountains and clear waters" to describe it, but using this word here will make Lizhi Gorge drop a few grades. Here majesty, strangeness, danger, precipitousness and beauty gather here, a real landscape gathering hall, a symphony of landscapes.
This place is called "Buddha Finger Mountain", which is named after its shape like five fingers. The most important thing here is that there are two naturally formed large Buddha statues.
Wujiang River is the mother river of the Tujia people, so people cherish it very much and protect the water source here very well.
"Sword Splitting Cliff" looks like it grows on the stone wall from a distance, but in fact there is a gap between the stone pillar and the stone wall, and people can pass through it. It has stood still for thousands of years, isn't it amazing?
The beauty of Lizhi Gorge is far more than that. At that time, I was only concerned with experiencing people swimming in the painting, and I forgot to take more photos. I suggest you come and see him for yourself.
Overlord Valley Scenic Area
The time to arrive at Siqu Wharf is 11:40. After getting off the boat, our car picked us up and went to the next destination - Bawang Valley.
Tip: If you don't have a car, you need to rent a shuttle bus, 30 yuan per person.
Bawang Valley is located on Fozhi Mountain in Lizhi Gorge. The mountain here is peculiar and the altitude is relatively high. It rained on the same day. "Live one day as if it were two days" is how it came about.
Located on the mountain, I thought it was a simple ticket office, but I didn't expect it to be quite tall.
Man Wang's cottage is very beautiful, and he would think of the residents' way of living and working in peace and contentment under the protection of Man Wang, and he wanted a small house to escape the summer heat.
Beacon Tower Observation Deck, Xiongshan is here waiting for your observation, Sentinel is here waiting for your discovery, and the First Village of China is here waiting for you to watch. Standing here, with a telescope, you will feel like a wonderland.
It's cold, and many vendors are hiding in the house to keep warm, but in summer, you can see small stalls everywhere, so lively.
When will the Barbarian Condor wait for the arrival of its master? Where to find this kind of loyalty and guardian spirit!
His taste is the childhood of our Tujia people. I remember that when I was young, there were no snacks at home, and I would look for them to eat when I went to the mountains to graze cattle. Of course, red seeds are the most common snacks. We started to "spoil" it when it matured, because it is real. The season to eat it is after the frost. At that time, the taste is astringent and sweet, which everyone loves.
The reason why it is named "Couple Cliff". First, because of their appearance and demeanor, they look like a loving couple, standing on the mountain in the canyon and looking at each other affectionately; second, the local descendants of Xiang Yu always miss their ancestors. The masculine strong man standing in the air outside is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. The slender and peerless beauty over here is Yu Ji,
This place is AAAA rated
When I was still thinking about it, I had to return to the voyage. I had to rush back to the boat before 4 o'clock, otherwise it would be dark and it would be unsafe to sail.

Day2. Sizhou Hot Spring City
Why is the hot spring here called "Sizhou"? It is named because Yanhe Tujia Autonomous County belonged to Gusi Prefecture during the Tang and Song Dynasties. Such a name must make the content inside different. Come, let's walk into "Sizhou Hot Spring City" together.
On the west bank of the Wujiang River along the river, there is a natural hot spring, which lasts all seasons, and the water temperature is 50°C. Long-term soaking can cure diseases, which is the love of the elderly here. However, for the sake of the city's appearance, the government funded and built a building with a distinctive appearance, named "Sizhou Hot Spring". It is a place that young people love.
The hot spring city is divided into inner hot springs and outer hot springs, and the inner hot springs are mainly provided for children and the elderly.
There are more than a dozen soup pools in the outer hot springs, large and small, with deep and shallow, and different shapes.
Various projects have been opened in the hotel, steam room is just one of them, there are also cafeteria, health massage, various soup baths, hotels and KTV to be opened soon. I am looking forward to it.
Look how excited they are, this is another group.
Soaking in hot springs is not easy to be greedy for a long time. It is fine when the body is light and light, which means that energy needs to be replenished. The main purpose is to participate in the Tujia Sheep Soup Festival.
Tujia Sheep Soup Pot Festival
This time, the Sheep Soup Pot Festival is sponsored by the government. The purpose is to pass on the uniqueness of the Tujia goat along the river, so that future generations and tourists can understand it. As far as I know, the "Mutton Soup Festival" will form a traditional festival and pass it on.
This kind of propaganda along the river is called "waist drum team", and the folk customs are really different.
It started on time at four o'clock in the afternoon, and the leader gave a speech, and the "First Sheep Soup Festival" kicked off.
Watching the performance while eating mutton and drinking mutton soup pot, like the scene of a gala, this form of praise, the atmosphere of the scene is very lively.
There were too many guests, and at night, the lights were turned on, Tujia folk songs were sung, and the barbarian king wine was drunk. You listen to their laughter, how charming their joy is.
The guests who finished their meal early participated in the bonfire party and danced the Tujia hand-waving dance to the music.
Night tour of Wujiang River
At 19:00, the night tour of the Wujiang River began. I was greedy for the barbarian wine on the shore and the Tujia folk songs sung by the Tujia girls. I can only watch the beautiful ship slowly disappearing in front of my eyes from a distance.
Although he didn't go there, it was the sound of suona coming from a distance. I heard that there is also an art troupe for the elderly on board.
There are Tujia Meier narrators on board, as well as KTV, I really want to experience some water music! Although I regret this time, I believe I will come again next time! goodbye!
