Daluo Town-Jinghong City

Today's itinerary is to visit the scenic area of ​​Mengjinglai, and then to stay in Jinghong City.

The total journey is about 125 kilometers and 2.5 hours.

Mengjinglai is a filming location for the third season of "Where Are You Going, Dad". It's actually a Dai folk village. There are just a lot of fun things that kids will like more.

I wanted to see the Lower Boundary Monument, but the locals said there were armed policemen carrying guns in the woods, so it's better not to go in.

Friendship schools. There are some such schools on the border where students from China and Myanmar attend classes together.

The national gate is also being renovated. It's nothing to watch. There is a market next to the port, selling small commodities and jade.

What kind of plant is this? I asked the villagers, but they couldn’t make a clear statement. Maybe they couldn’t translate the Dai language into Chinese.

Tallinn

This is a Dai nationality musical instrument, the name is hard to remember, the sound is crisp, and it sounds very nice to play.

Learn

This should be an elephant foot drum

The original ecological scenic spot is actually a village.

There was a welcoming ceremony when the tourists came in, and the maids did a dance.

With accompaniment

As soon as I entered the village, I saw a rush market, just some stalls selling local specialty products.

We arrived earlier, and the group guests haven't come yet, so it's quieter.

Where is Dad going? After the third season aired, Meng Jinglai's reputation became much bigger.

Single tree into forest

The houses of the villagers are all attics made of solid wood

The first floor is ventilated on three sides, with a kitchen and a dining room, farm equipment, parking, etc. It is very cool.

The second floor is the bedroom

It stands to reason that there is more rain in the tropical rain forest area, and the air is relatively humid. I don't know how many years such a wooden house can last, but this is not a big problem because it is convenient to obtain materials.

I saw this guy again, and I figured it out here. It turned out to be used for squeezing sugar, with huge gears, sugar cane stuffed in, turning the lever, and the sugar water came out. After that, the sugar water was boiled and poured into the mold. With sugar cubes.

I bought a set of ethnic costumes, this should be Miao costumes.

coconut

Such a bunch of bananas cost 5 yuan, which is more than four catties, right?

The unfamiliar youth

Handmade Bamboo Weaving

I bought a small tin, the one that the doll is carrying, asking price 25, I said 20, the deal is done. The old man said that one person will make up for three days...My wife said to me again, saying that this should not be bargaining, make up for three days...

To make pottery pots, this one does not use electricity, it is called slow-wheel pottery. You can't take it with you after it's done, because it needs to be dried naturally for a week before firing it into a clay pot.

It was very slow to make clay pots. I walked around and saw two reed chickens.

it is done

The two little Dai boys seemed to be asking for change from their grandmother.

Later I learned that they were welcoming tourists on the side of the road, and then taking pictures with the tourists, earning one yuan each time.

Myanmar or Thailand soap?

I didn't taste the homemade wine made by the villagers because I had to drive.

At noon, I suddenly smelled a scent.

Follow the fragrance and enter the villagers' homes

I was in Shaozi and fried beef liver. I said I wanted to try fried beef liver, but the hostess said it was okay.

I personally grilled another tilapia

Open up. This table is made of bamboo, which is very interesting, but unfortunately it is too big to take. In the afternoon on the road, I saw a driver who bought a table like this, strapped it to the luggage rack and took it home.

The girl in red is the child of the eating house. The two children are also looking for tourists to take pictures and make money. They handed the money to the hostess during lunch and made a lot of money.

Take care of business

Papermaking craft. This kind of paper is made from a kind of bark. I forgot the name of the tree. Later I saw it in Yexianggu. The bark is made by multiple techniques such as beating and cleaning, and you can make this kind of painting yourself.

Lin Yongjian's bedroom

Dai people's weaving crafts, we Han people have a lot of embroidery, and Dai people's patterns are woven directly, and the craftsmanship is relatively cumbersome.

The patterns are symmetrical

Going towards Jiehe, the two villagers are fishing, which is a bit rewarding.

We also went into the water to play. The security guard said that there might be leeches in the water, so we ran quickly.

Jiehe is in front

Go see the boundary monument

national boundaries

The banana I bought earlier was too heavy and it was stored by my grandmother. When I went back to get it, I saw that she was cooking mangoes and used them as dried mangoes.

Dried mangoes drying

These banana leaves (or banana leaves?) are used by villagers as "rice bowls". They are eaten wrapped in rice and thrown away after eating. So, is it convenient to wash the dishes or to make it? Maybe it's going to work, you can use this to bring food.

I ate a piece of sorbet and left, and stayed overnight in Jinghong City.

End of episode 13.
