Yunnan Dehong Mu Nao Zongge | Going to a grand carnival of ten thousand people

Small town with many stories

I'm from Dehong, which is in the southwest of Yunnan, just across a river from Myanmar.

Dehong is a border minority area, and its culture and style are different from those of inland cities.

When I was young, I thought that every city was similar to ours, but when I went to high school in Kunming, I realized that this was not the case. It seemed that many people didn’t know Dehong. After arriving in Beijing, Yunnan has become a relatively general concept, let alone Dehong. Hong; and then I went to London, England, and Bonn, Germany...China is enough, it doesn’t matter to explain Yunnan or Dehong

But I was still very stubborn and took my Dai outfit to every place. Every time there is an opportunity to speak, the theme must be my hometown.

Talk about the splendor of the integration of several ethnic cultures here, talk about the warmth of the four seasons here, flowers and fruits, and talk about the sincerity and hospitality of the people here.

It should be explained clearly that the peacock feast does not eat peacocks, and the green leaf feast does not eat leaves;

If you want to say how lively and fun it is during the festivals here, Mu Nao Song Song, Songkran Festival, Kuoji Festival, Aluwoluo Festival...

To talk about why Dehong Mangshi is a small town, although it is not well-known, but every resident has a sense of belonging here, and people who have visited here are also full of praise

Geographically, Dehong is located in the southwest of Yunnan. Although Kunming, Beijing and other cities have direct flights, it is not very close to Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, and Shangri-La, which are popular tourist cities in Yunnan, so the number of tourists is relatively small. Most of them are tourists visiting west Yunnan to Tengchong. Seeing that Dehong Tengchong is a neighbor, they make up their minds to drop in for a trip; or businessmen who are in the business of emerald and jade often come here.

I have experienced the majesty of the Forbidden City in Beijing, the thickness of London's buildings, the romance of France's flower season, and the madness of Thailand's full moon party...

I do think,

No place is more beautiful than Dehong.

I am selfish.

I have been to many places, but it is impossible to love any place more than I love Dehong.

I love it, the sun is shining every day and the flowers and fruits are in full bloom.

If you love the delicious food here, you can eat it for a long time without repeating it.

Love Mu Nao song, love Songkran, love all ethnic groups.

When love is happy, when it is lost, when it laughs, when it cries bitterly,

She's all here.

This place is small, small,

So everyone's emotions are very important.

if you come

You will understand.

Before starting, read some strategies

According to me, Dehong is suitable to come all year round, especially in winter, where it is warm at 20 degrees in the afternoon.

There are direct flights between Kunming and Beijing. If you avoid holidays, the air ticket from Kunming is only two or three hundred. You can also drive or take a bus from Kunming. Dehong is an ethnic autonomous prefecture with jurisdiction over Mangshi, Ruili, Lianghe, Yingjiang, and Longchuan counties. The distance between counties and cities is one or two hours' drive. Mangshi is the state capital, and the port of Ruili has border scenery. The newly opened Mr. Academy in Lianghe really wants to go. The village tourism in Yingjiang is a must. Husa in Longchuan is sure to make people Eye-opener.

There are buses between counties and cities, and of course self-driving is the most convenient. The city is not big if you don’t leave the city. I like to walk, and I can run around the city for eight yuan by taxi. Of course, there are shared bicycles and small blue cars that can be used.

The Munao Zongge on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and the Songkran Festival on the eleventh, second and third April are the most lively. If you want to come to celebrate the festival, remember to book your accommodation in advance. The price is very low, and two people can eat it sideways in the snack street for tens of dollars.

It is suggested that if you come here, don’t stop at nothing, live like a local, experience the culture of ethnic minorities, taste a variety of delicacies, and ride a bicycle laughing and laughing on the streets with fruity and floral fragrances.

This is a travelogue that has been planned for a long time.

Thanks to Taile Visual Microfilm for shooting and making the entire video, thanks to the photographer Song (@BroadenHorizon) who accompanied me across the mountains and mountains to shoot and make most of the photos and animations, and thanks to Mr. Jie and Ajiu for their company and shooting, and the harvest The support of friends from all walks of life.

So,

let us start

Munao Zongge · Jingpo Culture

If you only plan to come to Dehong once, then I strongly recommend that you must experience the [Munao Song Festival] of the Jingpo people on [the fifteenth day of the first lunar month]

In the past, I always yearned to experience various festivals in various places, such as the full moon party, the Holi Festival, the Tomato Festival, and the Loy Krathong Festival. People always seem to be like this, longing for the scenery far away, and then ignoring the excitement around them.

Dehong is an autonomous prefecture of the Dai and Jingpo ethnic groups. Everyone has heard of the famous Water-Splashing Festival of the Dai ethnic group. Although the Munao Song Festival of the Jingpo ethnic group is relatively less well-known, it is extremely exciting and lively. Experience it personally, sing a song with thousands of people, dance the Munao dance together, the whole heart is trembling for it, and you can only sigh in the music: this trip is worthwhile.

The Jingpo people originated from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and some Jingpo people settled in Dehong after several migrations. The Jingpo people belong to the mountains. They are passionate, open-minded and hospitable, and all of them are good at singing and dancing. "Munao Zongge" means dancing together in Jingpo language. It was originally a grand sacrificial activity held by the Jingpo people for the sun god. Later, Jingpo people sang and danced to pray for good weather, prosperous people and animals, and a good harvest in the coming year. Auspicious and happy.

On this day, people put on festive costumes, beat wooden drums, gongs, bamboo flutes and Dongba in unison, gather in the dance hall, line up in a long line, imitate the dancing steps and postures of birds, retrace the migration road of the past, and sing and dance heartily .

If you want to talk about the clothing culture of the Jingpo people, it's really not enough to talk about it for an afternoon. Boys’ clothing is simpler, with Jingpo patterns embroidered on simple white shirts, sometimes with black embroidered jackets, and colorful beads dotted on the headbands, and Jingpo bags and long knives are hung when attending important Jingpo events.

Girls not only have more complicated patterns, but also have many more styles than men's clothing. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of casual clothes and formal clothes. Casual clothes are light tops and skirts. There are many colors and patterns to choose from, and most of them are more gorgeous. For formal clothes, it is usually a black top covered with silver robes, and a red skirt. etc. In addition, there are many jewelry to choose from, such as earrings, necklaces, bracelets, waist rings, etc., even if they are all over the body, they will not feel awkward. After all, wearing ethnic costumes should be a radiant look.

Zhenmei and Ke Ke came all the way from Chengdu to feel the festive atmosphere. They wore national costumes and danced with people of all ethnic groups. They liked it as soon as they changed into Jingpo costumes.

If you travel to Dehong and want to wear Dai clothes or Jingpo clothes for a few years, you can go to [Bingwu Road], where there are many ethnic clothing stores, many of which can be hand-made according to the body shape~

Even though everyone is wearing silver robes, each set has a different style but conveys the same emotion.

Red, gorgeous and thorough red, flamboyant and dazzling, seems to be branded in the deepest part of Jingpo culture. Rather than being a nation of the mountains, I think it is more intimate to call the Jingpo people the nation of the sun. Most people in Jingpo are enthusiastic and unrestrained, with their own light emitting light and heat like the sun. Especially the girl Jingpo who was dressed up, her silver robe was shining and clanking, but the smile on her face was even more charming.

Mu Nao Song · Green Leaf Feast

The enthusiastic Jingpo people have an unwritten custom that they are guests who come from afar, and guests cannot leave hungry when they arrive at the host’s house. Therefore, the Munao Zongge Festival also prepares a green leaf banquet on the long street with thousands of people for tourists and distinguished guests.

There must be food when you come to the festival. You may have heard less about Jingpo cuisine. Most Jingpo dishes have the characteristics of subtropical mountains and forests, such as ghost chicken, pounded eel, grilled fish in bamboo tubes, cold tripe, fried shredded beef with sour papaya, roasted mountain pigeon with pickled vegetables, and red deer. Dried meat floss and so on.

If you want to talk about the big expectation of Mu Nao Zongge, there must be a green leaf banquet on the Long Street with thousands of people. The dining table is covered with large green leaves, and each dish is also wrapped in green leaves. The green leaf feast is a traditional eating habit of the Jingpo people, and now it has developed into a banquet for the Jingpo people to entertain distinguished guests.

Therefore, when it comes to such a grand festival as Munao Zongge, the green leaf feast must be indispensable.

Before the official start of the Green Leaf Banquet, guests and tourists from all over the world have arrived at the venue one after another. Most of them are dressed in costumes, and they have become a landscape in themselves.

The long street down from the square is full of banquets, don’t worry about the formality of strangers, if you have a chance to sit at a table, you will be a guest, you can come and chat with me for a while, and then you can get acquainted, how should you eat? Hey, the tableware and chopsticks in the green leaf packaging of the dishes are omitted, so why not let us put on gloves and grab them with our hands in a more original way! Everyone happily enjoyed the green leaf banquet, drank sweet water and wine, and watched the singing and dancing performances of the Jingpo ethnic group. It was a joy.

After the green leaf feast is opened, there are dishes wrapped in leaves, which can be placed separately or all can be moved to a large leaf. Jingpo ghost chicken, roast beef jerky, Jingpo pounded vegetables, mixed eggs, mixed vegetables, etc. are all available.

I love Jingpo ghost chicken the most. Jingpo ghost chicken is derived from the custom of killing animals and offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods of the Jingpo people. It is not only a special dish of the Jingpo people, but also hot and sour, very appetizing.

A table full of good food is naturally accompanied by good wine. During the banquet, the Jingpo girl generously poured water and wine for the guests who came from afar.

The sweet water and wine followed Jingpo girl's smile and sweetened her heart

Munao Zongge · Thousands of people dance together

Once upon a time, the call to return to school covered up Jingpo Dongba's sound.

The splendor and shock of Mu Nao Zongge is put into the photos and put into the heart, but it gradually becomes blurred with time.

To this day, wearing the familiar silver robes, in the smiling faces of everyone, in the various Jingpo delicacies of the Green Leaf Banquet, in the Jingpo ballads sung unconsciously by the music, and in the steps of thousands of people dancing together.

The soul of Mu Nao, which seems to have been absent for a long time and has never been far away, with the innate enthusiasm and fire of the Jingpo people, burns every corner of the heart, making people unconsciously burst into tears.

Ora Ora~

Gathered Jingpo compatriots from more than ten countries, tens of thousands of people gathered here today to dance together.

Even if it is scorching sun, no matter what the distance is.

Go to a carnival that thousands of people celebrate together.

When the drums sounded, ten thousand people sang a song together and danced Mu Nao dance together.

This is your Mine Nao Song.

The dance team is led by Naoshuang Nauba, and along the migration route of the ancestors, the dance steps are constantly changing with the changes of the drumbeats, sometimes interspersed and sometimes surrounded, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner without disorder.

The sound of drums and music resounded through the hearts of the men. The long knife in the man’s hand and the silver robe on the girl’s clothes shone silver in the sunlight. Red fans, Jingpo umbrellas, handkerchiefs, green leaves, and girls held all kinds of accessories and danced to the music. , I couldn’t help but sang along with the music loudly O ra O ra~ On the square, there are Jingpo girls who shuttle back and forth with water and wine, enthusiastically pouring water and wine for the dancers on the field to quench their thirst

Not only the people of Jingpo, tourists and onlookers were emotionally affected and joined the team of tens of thousands singing.

Before entering the arena, there may still be such worries: the weather is too hot, too many people, I can’t dance for fear of making a fool of myself... But when I really step into the arena, all worries will be left behind, March The warm sun and the gorgeous Jingpo costumes are just right, and the Jingpo ballads echoing with drums all over the venue can't help but dance along with it. Can't dance? This problem is even simpler. Follow the footsteps of the people in front of you. You can even switch to other teams if you get tired after dancing for a while.

Maybe when I was in it, I was just happy and didn't know it, but when I saw the news reports and the pictures in the aerial photography, I was surprised to say that the scene was so spectacular, and I was also a part of this magnificent scenery.

All night long, enjoy singing and dancing.

If you are interested, see you next year.

Golden Pagoda, the place of dreams

Whenever the plane approaches Mangshi, you can see the [Menghuan Shwedagon Pagoda] on the top of the mountain at a glance, especially at night when the night is low, the city lights are dotted, and the Shwedagon Pagoda is shining brightly, as if it is the guardian of the city .

Strolling in every corner of Mangshi, no matter where you are, as long as you look towards the Lehajan Mountain in the south, the Shwedagon Pagoda is there. Either it is resplendent in the sun, or it is brightly lit in the dark eyes to guide the direction. No matter which way it is, the Shwedagon Pagoda silently conveys a kind of peaceful power.

I think the Shwedagon Pagoda is probably the best business card representing the lifestyle of Mangshi people. Climbing a mountain after a meal to eliminate food and exercise; the pagoda is clean and peaceful, which symbolizes the simple, non-competitive and kind-hearted character of the people here. Every day on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, Buddhist believers will get up early in the morning to stick incense on the mountain to pray and fulfill their vows.

The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the clearer the view of the Shwedagon Pagoda. The lush mountains and forests can't cover up the splendor of the Shwedagon Pagoda at all. The golden light of the stupa and the sun shine down through the green forest together, warming the body and mind. Feel. If the surroundings are quieter, you can hear the crisp and smart tinkling of wind chimes.

Excited, looking forward, and approaching step by step, but all the emotions are sandwiched together, and they can't match the shock of actually climbing to the top and seeing the Shwedagon Pagoda. The largest Buddhist pagoda in Asia exudes golden light all over. Under the sunlight, there is a kind of calm and majestic temperament, but it is also a Buddhist culture, and there is a bit of calm and peaceful power in the majesty.

The road leading to the golden pagoda is surrounded by two golden dragons, two elephant statues have also become guardians, and dozens of statues of monks pay homage and worship from the gate. Pass through the gate with awe, and the closer you get, the more you can appreciate the magnificence of the golden pagoda. The pagoda has four floors, only the main hall on the first floor is open to the public. Before entering the temple, walk around the tower and immerse yourself in various statues and the myths behind them. You can also see the panoramic view of Mangshi from the viewing platform. The town is very friendly when viewed from the top of the mountain, and it is gentle and gentle under the shade of the early morning sun.

Before entering the temple, you have to take off your shoes. The Shwedagon Pagoda looks golden from the outside, but entering the Golden Pagoda is a completely different scene. No matter how the tourists outside are laughing and laughing, the only thing you can feel after entering the pagoda is peace and tranquility. The hall is full of Buddhist statues, murals, utensils, etc. A beam of sunlight at the door just shines on the back of the little monk who is silently chanting, and the people kneeling in front of the Buddha statue are full of piety. Breathing here should be lighter, for fear that I will disturb this tranquility.

Before I came to the Golden Pagoda, I only thought that the Golden Pagoda was magnificent and lively. After I really arrived, I realized that the tranquility, peace and kindness that this Golden Pagoda represents has been the spiritual pillar of the people here for a long time.

Silver Pagoda · Lighting and praying

Compared with the golden tower, I prefer [Silver Tower]

She is just behind the golden pagoda, a small road passes by

Everyone always loves the radiance of the golden pagoda, which is extremely dazzling under the sun during the day, and it is also golden all over at night, which makes people unable to leave their eyes. But I think Yinta is more like a real Dai girl. She is plain and low-key, but she always has a gentle and gentle temperament around her. She always hides behind the golden tower, like the sun and the moon.

Sunlight is the source of energy for all things,

And the moon silently accompanies those who walk alone in the dark night

Since the Silver Pagoda is not a hollow pagoda like the Golden Pagoda, most of the tourists who come here can only walk around the pagoda, and the surroundings seem relatively deserted and lonely.

But under the sun, the whole body of the silver pagoda is white but not dazzling, and it conveys the power of gentleness peacefully. Even if you are not a Buddhist, you will be touched by this kind of gentleness.

During the Spring Festival, the Silver Pagoda lights up lights to pray for blessings. The first day coincides with Valentine’s Day, and there is an endless stream of people who come to hang ribbons and light up the lights.

Wishes are densely written on the ribbon, and it flutters in the wind on the top of the mountain, as if through the ribbon, you can see a picture of several people solemnly holding hands and wrapping the ribbon together

Young faces are still wearing loose school uniforms, some tie ribbons loosely and then solemnly bow their heads to make a wish, and some girls tie their knots and quietly look sideways at the big boy next to him muttering that he can’t tie a knot

Dreams have something to depend on, wish to have something to live in

very nice

Solemnly walk around the tower three times, many small lights leaning on each other, carefully guarding those wishes

The Silver Pagoda is different at night. The whiteness of the whole body under the sun always feels unattainable. At night, the small lights are always dotted with a lot of human touch, like chirping stories for a few children, warm and cute

Dai Palace · Dai Palace

The Dai Palace is more like a cultural innovation park of the Dai people, with a variety of Dai culture presentations. Dai clothes pay attention to personal customization, which can highlight the gentle and curvy beauty of girls. Probably many girls who like to take pictures are eager for Dai clothes but are afraid of appearing weird. The Dai Palace is undoubtedly an excellent place to experience Dai costumes. It will not look awkward in Dai costumes, but also complements the environment very well.

Dai architecture, murals, brocade, etc., present the production and life scenes of the Dai people one by one. The various Dai cultural decorations are very suitable for taking pictures. There are also Dai restaurants in the park. If you are tired from shopping, you can sit down and have a rest to taste the taste of Dai people.

Reed Pond Be the King of the Mountain

[Yingjiang] is another county in Dehong Prefecture. My mother is from Yingjiang, so I have been influenced by Yingjiang since I was a child. The Daying River in my memory is a long and undeveloped river, with weeds growing on the riverside, and the boats on the river are carrying grandma's thoughts, swinging and shaking from one bank to the other bank, shaking and shaking A strand of white hair that misses you every day.

I don’t know when I started to hear about how Yingjiang’s village cultural travel can discover the essence of folk culture, or that there is a large area of reeds and flowers in Yingjiang’s wetland park, which makes people itch. I came here especially for the name and found that the sea of flowers has passed the period, so I can only walk in the reeds.

Before arriving, there will be more or less regrets in my heart, but all the regrets are completely filled by the beauty of the reeds.

Although it was late autumn in November when we went there, Yingjiang did not feel the bleakness of autumn at all. In the reed marshes, the reeds grow between the roads and are white, fluttering wantonly in the wind. The children laughed and ran around on the wooden bridge, but couldn't find any breath of winter. Suddenly, the reeds beside the Daying River in my memory began to sway with the wind, and the songs my mother used to hum when I was a child also echoed in my ears.

Every city enters winter one after another, but the winter here is poetic and warm.

On that warm winter afternoon, she smiled softly at me in the reeds. This is the most gentle picture of winter that I can imagine.

Walk along the wooden bridge, and in about half an hour, you can go deep into a place that I privately call a plant forest.

The towering green plants block out the sun, as if you have penetrated into the subtropical virgin jungle, giving you a feeling of being in harmony with nature. Let me say that Dehong's subtropical plant scenery is not inferior to that of Xishuangbanna. Even because it has not been developed, many villages in the mountains still retain the most primitive traditions of various ethnic groups, but they have a little more charm.

Come to the reeds in Yingjiang,

Come to the wooden bridge and run against the sun like a child,

Come to the botanical forest and laugh wantonly to be a king of the mountain

Forget about the hustle and bustle of the city

immerse yourself in nature

Sea of Flowers Winter Romance

Last time I regretted that I missed it and left a mark in my heart. This time during the Spring Festival, I heard that the sea of flowers was in full bloom again. I couldn’t hold back my excitement. I grabbed my luggage and went to Yingjiang to see the sea of flowers. The sea of flowers in Yingjiang opens at a fixed time every year. , usually during holidays such as National Day and Spring Festival, if you want to experience it next time, you should check the blooming time of the next season in advance

The entrance is divided into two roads until it leads to the reed marshes and plant forests, and you need to turn left to view the sea of flowers. There are so many people who come to see the flowers, they are surprised to find that even during the Spring Festival, the flowers are free to enter the venue, and the crowd is organized under the guidance of the staff, and they don't feel panic at all.

Probably because the weather is getting colder in winter, the reeds are not as white as the last time I came here, fluttering in the wind, concealing my figure implicitly, warming silently in the sun

The road to the sea of flowers twists and turns under the cover of the woods. Before arriving, you can see the general idea, and there is a lot of anticipation out of thin air. Probably this time it was too hasty and came too early. The flowers have not yet fully opened, but the scene is already very joyful.

Probably because there are countless winter looks in my mind, but none of them look like this.

Warm sun, gentle breeze, large expanses of reeds fluttering in the wind, and the boundless sea of flowers extending beyond the screen. It is said that the climate in Yunnan is really good, but in fact, the northern part of Yunnan is also bitingly cold in winter, and sometimes it even snows.

And this subtropical town in the south,

just in time

wait for you

Hua Jian walked casually, laughing wantonly at the camera, never thinking that she would become a part of this beautiful picture.

Come to Yingjiang to redefine winter,

About Huamu Handa and you.

It was getting late when we were about to leave, and the tourists had already left

Not to mention desolation, but to feel that the scenery of the setting sun is infinitely magnificent and majestic

It looks like the back view of a heroic warrior in ancient times when he went to the battlefield fearlessly

Have fun · Emotional Washe

Someone told me, you Dehong, the food is delicious, the scenery is beautiful, and the ethnic characteristics are amazing, but there is no sentimentality to speak of. It feels similar to the scenery of those villages and frontier people shown in the movie in my heart. Even if it is novel to watch and watch, I will still think of the romantic society in the romantic society.

I totally disagree with this statement.

Before arriving at [Washer] in [North of Emerald Road],

How can we talk about Dehong's sentimental theory?

Washer is definitely the first business card representing Mangshi sentiment

The boss gave up his high-paying job after studying in France, and resolutely decided to return to his hometown to build the red winery Washe. The red wine used in the store is directly purchased and imported by the staff stationed in Bordeaux, France.

It is different if you have hometown feelings in your heart. I think it should be the same for a Frenchman who is picky about details to build a winery by himself.

The lights are slightly drunk, the singer sings softly on the stage

Shaking the wine glass lightly, the next table lowered their voices to chat

There are always a lot of people's thoughts in the bar

Maybe life is very tiring, listening to others singing about a similar life in a bar, and then burst into tears in the singing.

Or just meet up with a friend for a short time, and while they are having a fight, suddenly startled because of the similar voice of someone at the next table

It may also be just laughing heartlessly, making trouble, drunk and dreaming, no matter what, I drank this drink first, saying that I live in the present, and today I just want to finish this drink.

In any case, Washer is suitable for you who have a story

This underground wine cellar is the most imprinted by Washe. You can see it clearly when you enter the door. The wine cellar is very deep and covered with glass. People often think that they are stepping on the ground without paying attention. Only after careful appreciation do they discover this wine cellar. wonderful come

There are many fine wines in the cellar, all carefully selected by the boss who knows wine

Even if you don't come to the bar to get drunk, alcohol can always soothe a frustrated soul

We always try to find ourselves when we are sober, but we forget that sometimes we have the courage to face the loss and the unknown when we are slightly drunk

Probably what many locals don’t know is that Washer actually has an exquisite backyard, and there are two unique private rooms in the backyard. The private room has a lot of space, which continues the European minimalist style of the hall, but it is a little more grand, suitable for business meetings or receiving elegant guests

Both private rooms are decorated with a large piece of red wine wall, which is pleasing to the eye as a decoration, and you can also take pictures with crazy concave shapes here~

Washe was also awarded the title of Big Banyan Tree Youth Home by the Dehong State Committee, so from time to time there will be activities suitable for young people to participate in here

There is wine, there are stories, but please feel at ease

There are scenes and emotions, just waiting for you to come

Taste·Green Leaf Feast

After watching Mu Nao Zongge, I think everyone is full of itch for the Green Leaf Banquet, but they feel that it is a pity that Mu Nao Zongge is wrong once a year. The taste of the Green Leaf Banquet can only be calculated in the next year when Mu Nao Zongge is over.

Don't worry, the [Pure Ecological Jingpo Village] on the [Reservoir] road and [Dawan Village] can fully meet all your expectations for the green leaf feast

Pure Ecological Jingpo Village is the first green leaf banquet restaurant in Dehong. Probably every Mangshi person has crossed mountains and ridges just to eat a green leaf banquet in Dawan

It may be an exaggeration to say that it is over the mountains, but for Mangshi, a small place where you can visit the whole city in less than an hour by electric bike, Dawan, which is located in the mountains by a 15-minute drive, has been classified by default. The concept of 'far away'

But even so, every day everyone still drives to the mountains in an endless stream of cars just to have a "first" and "most authentic" green leaf feast. I think this is probably the story of the ancient wine fragrance not afraid of deep alleys look like

Not to mention that his family has opened a branch on Reservoir Road, which is much closer to Dawan. Although there are still diners who go to Dawan to pursue the ultimate delicious food

The main store is located in Dawan, hidden in the mountains and forests. Don’t worry if you don’t know the place. The navigation on the map can reach you. The staff is very friendly. You can call them and they will come out to guide you (13330457817)

Before the official serving, the green leaves specially used for the green leaf feast are laid out. The main store is located in the mountains and forests, so the freshest green leaves are always used to prepare the green leaf feast

The Jingpo family always respects and admires nature, so the green leaf banquet does not use bowls and chopsticks, but mostly green leaves and bamboo baskets to serve guests. I don't know if it's a psychological effect or something real, but I always feel that the food tastes more delicious after being wrapped in green leaves

There is a whole large table, and there is already a sense of satisfaction before it starts

Vegetarian dishes, meat dishes, cold salad, spring vegetables, barbecue, and steamed buns are all available. No matter what taste you like, you can satisfy it in a table of green leaves

What is even more satisfying is that the per capita cost of this large table is only a few dozen yuan, which is still the kind that is too full to walk.

Spring vegetables and mixed vegetables are important components of Jingpo cuisine. The taste is hot and sour or salty. It is especially suitable for the slightly summery temperature of Dehong and at the same time has an appetizing and refreshing taste.

This is Jingpo famous dish ghost chicken

Usually the ghost chicken is hot and sour with a salty flavor, but if the sourness is made with lemon, the dish will turn from sour to bitter after a while and affect the taste. The boss has his exclusive secret recipe, not only the taste is just right, but also the taste of the ghost chicken will not be affected no matter how long the meal is

Of course, the ghost chickens are usually sold out just after half of the meal.

I don't know if you are as carnivorous as I am

Fortunately, Jingpo people’s love for meat is no less than ours. The various kinds of meat and various cooking methods at the Green Leaf Banquet are eye-opening and delicious at the same time.

Barbecue, Roasted Meat Wrapped in Leaves, Roasted in Bamboo Tube

Crispy bones, catfish, pork belly, quail, and more

Often eaten, never seen, surprising

Each taste gives people a different feeling

There are also a variety of snacks to make people eat meat while adjusting the taste~

The locals like to put on gloves and eat with their hands, and it is much more convenient to tear the meat

If you are not used to it, of course you can use chopsticks

Of course, when you come to the land of the bold Jingpo people, it is naturally recommended to imitate their bold temperament, eat meat and drink heavily

Don't worry about the reserved airs, if you hesitate any longer, the ghost chicken will be snatched away

Taste · Peacock Feast

The most authentic food in Dehong is often served in a small shop on the street, regardless of the ostentation or the storefront, just a group of friends get together to have fun.

But if it is the first time you come to Dehong, I would recommend that you go to [Pin Dehong] on [Emerald Road] for the first meal and try the peacock feast or the peach blossom feast.

Although Dehong cuisine is amazing in taste, many people who are new to this place may feel overwhelmed by the fact that many dishes are eaten raw and are too hot and sour. Peacock banquet or peach blossom banquet is very suitable at this time. Not only the dishes are full of Dehong elements, but also a good compromise will not cause too much burden on the stomach.

The Peacock Banquet is well-known, and even when I go to Dali, Kunming and other places, I will see it in the restaurant recommendation. However, the Peacock Banquet is the original creation of the authentic Dehong family. Probably every time we talk about the peacock banquet, we need to explain, explain and explain again. One is not to eat peacock meat, and the other is that the sculpture on the table is not a real peacock head. It's just that the dishes are arranged in the shape of a peacock spreading its tail.

The arrangement of the dishes is already amazing, and the cloud-shrouding effect of dry ice makes people feel like a fairyland.

Taste · Barbecue

One day when I was eating barbecue, a friend from out of town said that the taste of barbecue is the same everywhere, but Dehong BBQ has pickle paste, so it feels special.

I disagree, and I don't know how to refute. After all, I am not a professional gourmet person. I only think that the food here is the best, but I can't explain why.

The most eaten one is [Pukphaw Road] [Huang Dawanjia], veal tendon and sour beef are must-haves for every meal in Dehong, and vegetables such as fried snails, baked cabbage, small melon and potatoes are also full. plate. It's a bit strange to mix sweet and salty, but I still feel refreshed every time I want a bowl of glutinous rice balls.

One day, when I went to eat barbecue, an old lady came into the store to beg. While greeting the guests, the boss quickly filled a large bowl full of delicious food and sent it to the grandmother.

Perhaps the taste of barbecue is similar everywhere, but I always think that Dehong is the most special, what is more about it is not the pickle paste but the human touch.

Taste early

"Make an appointment early tomorrow, the sour beef shop, I'll pick you up at eight o'clock"

Even on a cold morning in winter, it is probably the habit of every Dehong person to wake up 20 minutes early to make an appointment for breakfast before going to work or school.

Shredded bait, rice noodles, noodles, beef in clear soup, braised pork in brown sauce, and sour soup with masala, there are all kinds of choices, and the table is full of ingredients to choose at will, and sometimes you have to have a cup of Burmese milk tea to feel enjoyable.

The pain of failing the exam, the confusion in the face of choice, and the hesitation of finding true love are all mixed in the steaming breakfast soup. A bowl of breakfast with soup and meat is wiped clean, there is nothing that cannot be cured.

Come to Dehong, the bowl of breakfast you can’t miss, whether it’s [sour beef near Guanyin Temple], [a street on Manghan Road], [Li’an’s early shop] or [beef in clear soup on Paukphaw Road], they are all full Full of Dehong flavor

Taste · Exotic food

Dehong is a border area, and delicacies from foreign countries can be seen everywhere on the street.

[Xuangang] Many overseas Chinese who sell Vietnamese small roll noodles and spring rolls speak with some accents. The skin of the roll noodles is soft and glutinous but full of strength. You can taste the difference after one bite. No wonder so many people are willing to drive for half an hour. Come here for a plate of small roll noodles.

The Burmese boy who sells Burmese dumpling across the street is shy and his Chinese is not very good. He can tell the difference between adding eggs and condensed milk, but if he speaks too quickly, he always looks at you with an innocent smirk.

If you want to try more snacks, [Best Food Court] can catch them all in one go, such as Vietnamese roll noodles, Vietnamese spring rolls, Burmese dumpling, Burmese tea beans, and many other local specialties

For me,

Dehong is the destination and the end of every journey.

After being angry and disappointed with the world, questioning loudly, and crying bitterly,

The town that still silently comforts you.

hope you come
