Day1. Welcome Ceremony - Hotel Check-In - Bull Head Banquet
Walking into the Xikang Yunshe in Jinggu Mangka, we were greeted by enthusiastic Dai girls, dancing bamboo pole dance, splashing auspicious water, drinking ancient brown sugar water, and honey water, which made us feel the warmth of "friends come from afar" and good.
Xikang Yunshe is a healthy and leisure resort hotel full of Dai style that was just completed in January 2020. Compared with the commercialization of other hotels, its red walls and golden roofs have accumulated the Dai culture for a long time.
The accommodation area built with Dai culture has different characteristic room types, equipped with a large swimming pool, fitness center, large and small meeting rooms, restaurants, water bars, etc. The room we stayed in was very large, and the overall style was mainly brick red and sandalwood brown, with an exotic feature and a touch of Zen.
Since it is a newly built hotel, all the facilities are very new and high-grade. The bed is moderately soft and hard, and it is equipped with 2 latex pillows, and the quality of disposable slippers is also very good. The room is also equipped with rich and complete toiletries, an oversized bathtub and a complete set of tea sets for guests to use.
For the first dinner after check-in, we experienced a very local beef head feast. As the name suggests, the bull head feast is a dish made from different parts of the cow. The light shines through the Simao bamboo, weaving a poetic and picturesque feeling. The beef is thick and fragrant, the soup is rich and fresh, the original flavor of the food is suddenly released in the chef's exquisite cooking skills, and we feast on the elegant primitive style.
When the night was deep, the sky was full of stars shining on Jinggu, and the Milky Way hung high above the Weiyuan River. With the expectation of Jinggu for the next two days, I lay on the bed and had a good night's sleep.
Day2. Eat cross-bridge rice noodles for breakfast——Copy scriptures in the lobby——Songkran Festival experience——Hotel hot spring——Afternoon tea picking——Bamboo weaving experience——Dinner and peacock feast——Music bar in the evening
When Meimei woke up, she suddenly didn’t know where she was. The mountains and trees in the distance drew my eyes through the tulle of the window, as if I was still in a dream.
After washing up, we went to the restaurant. Our breakfast today is a Yunnan specialty - Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles. I am a person who has no appetite when I wake up in the morning, but in the end, there is not even a drop of soup left, and the taste is very authentic. Pour down the chrysanthemum before eating, and then pour in the ingredients one by one to eat~
Then we experienced copying scriptures. Although I am not a Buddhist, it is a fresh experience for modern people who are accustomed to typing on computers.
The season we came coincided with the Water-Splashing Festival of the Dai people, but due to the epidemic, the Water-Splashing Festival could not gather people, which was a bit regrettable, but I experienced the joy of the Water-Splashing Festival in the hotel's hot spring~
But the hot springs in Jinggu still make this trip worthwhile. Walking in the valley, there are many peaks and peaks, and the footpath is paved with volcanic sedimentary rocks. The sprayed water mist is entangled, and the huge heat wave rushes out from the cracks in the rocks. In the fairy mountain on the sea, heat waves and blisters roll on the surface of the water, making Mangka Hot Spring look like a blue and yellow gemstone.
It is said that Mangka Hot Spring is the incarnation of the peacock and the treasure of Qinxian. There are not only 15 non-additive original soup bathing pools with different styles and functions, but also public hot spring bathing areas and private pool rooms for families to meet the needs of different tourists. need. Soak in the pool of mist and water, listen to the shady birdsong, and bathe in the embrace of nature. It seems that all the troubles in the world can be washed away in this spring water and disappear without a trace.
In the afternoon, I went to experience tea picking and frying. I went to a family’s tea garden. The oldest tea tree in their house has a history of 300 years. The tea is Pu’er tea. You can participate in the whole process from picking tea to frying tea. It is also a very fresh experience.
Next is the bamboo weaving experience, and also went to a Dai village. The people here are very enthusiastic, and they also gave us goat milk fruit, pea cakes, watermelon, etc., like treating our own family members.
The old man who is in charge of bamboo weaving is doing it now. Although the things are not particularly exquisite, they also reveal a kind of quaint historical heritage.
Dinner is a local peacock feast, one of the most distinctive banquets of the Dai family, which combines the characteristics of the Dai people's intelligence, hard work and love of beauty. It collects fresh ingredients from the original ecology and is made with the traditional cooking method of the Dai family.
Satisfied with wine and food, bathed in the soft evening breeze, the music bar next to the hotel swimming pool is the best place to go. Order a special cocktail and chat with people you know or don't know. It's cozy and relaxing.
Day3. Breakfast buffet——Original glutinous rice cake experience—Health hut experience—Buddha’s traces—Afternoon tea—Atv cross-country, live cs—Hundred insect banquet——River lanterns, bonfire party
Today I have a new experience - wrapping glutinous rice cakes. Glutinous rice is soaked in water in advance and then pounded into a soft dough. The fillings inside include bean paste, pork belly, etc., and are wrapped with emerald green rice dumpling leaves. They can be sweet or salty, and come in various shapes.
Yunshe Health Academy - as a characteristic project of Xikang Yunshe, through the combination of scientific physical examination and comprehensive health care, it provides modular, professional and one-stop customization of "awakening a healthy lifestyle" from two dimensions of body and mind Serve. Here you can check your own physical indicators and get guidance from professional instructors, so that you can return to yourself from busyness and pressure, and enjoy the joy and vitality of life.
The traces of Buddha and the fairy trail are must-see places for national, religious and cultural tours. Here, as a Buddhist business card of Jinggu, the frontier minority culture and Theravada Buddhism collided in Wuliang Mountain, creating the unique cultural label of Jinggu "Infinite Treasure Land·Buddha Traces".
"The tower wraps the tree, the tree wraps the tower" The tree is tens of meters high. The tree is on the top of the tower, and the tree is wrapped around the tower. The tower is wrapped around, which is a superb view. The inseparable state of the towers and trees is also regarded by the locals as a symbol of faithful love.
Afternoon tea is a project in the hotel. There are various desserts and fruit drinks, which is very enjoyable.
In the back mountain of the hotel, a special base is set up to play ATV off-road vehicles and real Cs. The equipment is fully equipped and upscale, and an exciting experience is added to the leisurely life. It can be described as enjoyable, whether you are an adult or a child. You can play so much fun~
Today's dinner is a bit fierce - it is Yunnan's Hundred Insect Feast. The ingredients include water centipedes, bamboo worms, silkworm chrysalis, grasshoppers, firewood worms, etc. These are very common to the locals, but for us, each of them is a big challenge, especially when we finally mustered up the courage What does it taste like when you put these worms in your mouth? NO, it is simply swallowed like a pill, haha.
The three-day journey was coming to an end. On the eve of departure, the hotel held a bonfire party for us. Everyone gathered under the hotel, dancing together, playing bamboo pipes, throwing torches, and enjoying the enthusiasm and beauty of this moment. By the river, we unanimously lit lanterns and prayed for blessings, wishing our compatriots to successfully overcome the difficulties of this epidemic, and wishing our relatives all good health.
Full-bodied Pu'er hot tea, wide windows, soft beds, Dai customs, hot spring feast... There is also the bright moon and clear breeze by the Weiyuan River, the sunset on the mountains by the virgin forest, the mountain dwelling, water flow, Hot springs, tea fragrance...
Jinggu, "Reluctance" is my truest expression to you.
