Today's itinerary is Ximeng County-Menglian County-Lancang County. The total distance is about 170 kilometers, and the road conditions are relatively good.

The first stop is Likan Waterfall in Ximeng County, near the county seat.

This is the entrance of the scenic spot, empty.

Looking at this sign means that the staff cannot go in during get off work hours, nor in extreme weather.

Today is neither extreme weather nor work time. I came here thousands of kilometers and I must go in and take a look.

The road inside is like this, and there are many spider webs. In fact, I was worried that there would be snakes, so I had to pick up a stick and beat it along the way to make myself bold.

This kind of fruit looks like longan, but it is not edible.

The path winds up between the rainforest and the boulders

Seeing this pavilion, I remembered the head pile in Wengding Guzhai the day before yesterday. I felt a little hairy. Will foreigners be beheaded if they break in?

Pass a wooden bridge

Still broken in the middle

This suspension bridge is very local, we saw it for the first time.

The suspension bridge is made of tree branches and planks. The branches are short and long, the short end is hung on the ropes on both sides, the long end is tied to the other side, and the middle is covered with planks. This is the Likan Waterfall Bridge. People walked on it, swaying, and there was a layer of mud on the wooden planks, which was very slippery. When crossing the bridge, they had to grasp the ropes on both sides, making them yellow mud.

This is the Likan Waterfall, the rain is mixed with yellow mud, and the waterfall is chocolate-colored.

Rushing down rumblingly

Looking at the current, it is not too big, and the momentum is not small.

Gusts of water rushed toward your face

Stay here for a while and it will turn into a clay figurine, so hurry up.

I wiped my hair with a wet tissue...

What is more "intimate" is that there is a faucet tens of meters down the suspension bridge, which can be washed.

Restore the door to its original state. I realized it carefully, and I mean that at my own risk, the scenic spot will not be responsible for splashing you all over with muddy water, ha ha.

The road from Ximeng to Menglian is easy

I bought two pineapples on the road, each for 4 yuan. When I ate it at night, I realized that we used to eat "fake pineapples"; how fresh and sweet the pineapples here are. impression. I seem to understand one thing. For long-term preservation, perhaps the pineapples sold in the Mainland are not fully mature.

Yesterday, I saw villagers harvesting in Shuangjiang, and Ximeng has already started farming. It seems that two seasons of rice will be planted here a year.

The kid was selling bananas, and asked, said 2 yuan a catty, I said to buy a little, but the kid wouldn’t say, I said that I would buy the smallest one for 3 yuan, and he asked me to take the larger one. , I said this big one is several kilograms, and finally I took the small one, and the kid broke two more from the big one. Later I learned that many places in Yunnan are calculated in kilograms. So, am I too real? Haha

Menglian County has arrived and it is raining.

In 1254, the Mongolian army forced part of Mengmao's subjects to move south. At that time, four Mengmao officials led the people and migrated south in three separate routes. After all the difficulties and dangers, they found a beautiful river valley, Pingba, Menglian (Dai language: the place found).

I found a Dai restaurant, and braised tilapia became my must-have dish, and the taste was too good.

It was still raining after lunch, so we took an umbrella and visited the ancient city of Nayun, right in the middle of the county seat.

Two hundred meters away is the Zhongcheng Buddhist Temple.

Looks relatively "low-key"

You need to take off your shoes to enter the Buddhist hall, otherwise you will be fined 5 yuan. I think this fine is not strong enough. Looking at the time again, it was written in 1992.

Take a closer look, and there is a "bai" in Wu Yuan. Over the past two decades, prices have not risen so exaggerated as a hundred times. There are still more than ten times.

A more characteristic restaurant, let's go in and visit.

The peacock is an auspicious bird in the hearts of the Dai people. There are many beautiful and moving myths about the peacock. The Dai people call the peacock symbolizing love the sunbird, and the peacock is their iconic pattern. Peacock dance is the most prestigious traditional performing dance among Dai folk dances.

There are only our family of tourists in the entire ancient city, and all the attractions in the ancient city are free.

Menglian Xuanfu Division, an ancient government. Chieftain is a kind of official position, which is found in the minority areas of the southwest and northwest. It has been established since the Yuan Dynasty. There are three military attaché positions: propaganda envoy, propaganda envoy and comfort envoy. The Ming and Qing dynasties set up chieftains along the border. Since the Ming dynasty, three types of civil officials have been added: Tuzhifu, Tuzhizhou, and Tuzhixian. The chieftain is the chief of national autonomy, hereditary (requires court approval). "The chieftain undertook certain taxes and services to the court, and provided troops in accordance with the court's levy orders; internally, he maintained his right to rule as a tribe leader."

Menglian Tusi Mansion Introduction

This flower is so red in our home village, it can be used as an earring when it is taken off.

Tusi House

The first floor is very large and should be the meeting hall.

Toast sedan chair

I’m a little confused about this throne. Let’s sit on it, it’s a bit high. Let’s sit on the ground. The backrest is not flat...

The toast still has farm tools at home, so does the toast still need to farm?

Toast’s Kitchen

The tusi's house is very big, and there are several wives.

This wicker chair is very beautiful, with wooden sticks inserted on both sides is a sedan chair.

Going up is the upper city Buddhist temple

The upper city Buddhist temple is under renovation, we did not go in. The upper city was originally the place where Menglian chieftain and family slaves lived. The main existing buildings include the upper city Buddhist temple and the Menglian Xuanfu Department.

How can there be three temples in a small Nayun ancient city?

"Nayun" means "inner city", it is the former living area of ​​Menglian Tusi; Nayun ancient city is composed of the upper, middle and lower cities and the two villages of Mangfanggang and Mangfangmao, commonly known as "three cities and two villages" , The level is clear. With the "Xuanfu Department Office" as the center, Shangcheng is the residence of the chieftain, Zhongcheng is the residence of the officials of the Xuanfu Division, and the Xiacheng is the residence of the clerk of the Xuanfu Division and the village chief.

It was too early to arrive from Nayun Ancient City, so we decided to stay in Lancang County.

This is a pineapple I bought during the day, and I can smell it across the screen.
