When I traveled to Mojiang, it was nightfall. After enjoying the delicious Hani food, I became more interested in this county, because I am more interested in visiting when I am full! I read a lot of cultural stories about Mojiang Hani Autonomous County that night, and started exploring early the next morning!
Mojiang is located in a very magical county in the south of Yunnan Province. How amazing? There are more than 1,200 pairs of twins living here! Although this phenomenon sounds incredible, even unimaginable, it really exists. I am drinking a kind of drinking water called twin water from Mojiang. This drinking water is very common in the local area and is also very popular with tourists from other places. Its taste and price are similar to other mineral water.
Traveling in Mojiang, twins, is a very welcome element. Every May, twins from all over the world will gather in Mojiang, Yunnan to celebrate the China·Mojiang International Twins Festival and Hani Sun Festival.
Mojiang also has the International Twins Cultural Park, where twin cultures are displayed at the entrance and inside. In addition, there are twin towns and the Twin Star Square in the Tropic of Cancer Sign Park. There are twins almost everywhere. cultural elements.
There is a twin well in Mojiang, the well water is clear. According to the villagers, if you drink the water in this well, you will give birth to twins. The fact that there are 7 pairs of twins in 30 households let everyone know that this is not groundless. What's even more amazing is that even a brief visit from outsiders can give birth to twins after drinking well water. The picture shows the Twin Wells in Gemini Square.
Why is it so amazing? Why are there so many twins in Mojiang? Are you as curious as I am? Different people have different opinions on this, but I heard that the most common local opinion is: the secret lies in the water! Twins can be born by drinking the twin well water in Twin Village.
Many people have put forward different views on the mystery of the Mojiang twins lies in the twin well water. For example, many parents of twins have never drank the twin well water. Moreover, the staff of the Mojiang County Center for Disease Control and Prevention said that after testing, the water from the twin well is very safe and meets the national drinking water standards, but it has not yet been proved that drinking this well water can give birth to twins.
And Mojiang has a very special place, that is, the Tropic of Cancer passes through the county, (the Tropic of Cancer in the picture above!) One side is the temperate zone, and the other side is the subtropical zone! So many people think that twins are related to the Tropic of Cancer. It is the difference in climate that causes subtle changes in some elemental genes of the human body. However, some people disagree, because the Tropic of Cancer passes through many places, but other places do not have so many twins in Mojiang. Of course, there are also claims such as genetic factors from a scientific point of view.
Now, many people who travel to Mojiang will not only drink twin well water, but even take it back. There are also couples who come to Mojiang to drink twin well water and live in twin rooms for the purpose of having twins. On the day of my visit, I also saw many tourists queuing up to drink well water in Gemini Square.
Mojiang, a veritable "twin city", why are there so many pairs of twins? It seems that there is still no reasonable explanation, and no real mystery has been found. It still needs to be explored, but it is undeniable that Mojiang is really a magical place! What do you think of the mystery of Mojiang's "Twin Cities"?
