Ximeng Wa Mountain is located in Cangyuan Wa Autonomous County, Yunnan Province, which is an excellent tourist attraction. The perfect natural landscape has no traces of modern human destruction, and the people are living in peace and leisure, so here is a travelogue of Ximeng Wa Mountain.
When it comes to Ximeng, it's natural to think of the Wa girls' long hair and spirited hair dance, as well as the song "A Wa People Singing New Songs," which has been familiar since I was a child, but I've never been there. It was not until this year's summer trip to Simao that I had the opportunity to set foot in Ximeng,
and see the colorful and mysterious Wa Mountains.
Golden town under the blue sky and white clouds
The car was driving on the highway to Ximeng, and the winding mountain road made people a little dizzy, but the eyes were full of refreshing blue sky and white clouds, and the rolling mountains were intermingled, which made people relaxed and happy. I can't count how many hills around, into a small city built on the hillside, into the eyes of the golden yellow and brown color tone, unified style of the rich national characteristics of the building, that is the Ximeng.
I remember when I was young, my father often traveled to Ximeng, told us that Ximeng County is a mountain town, even the size of the soccer field is difficult to find flat land, so many years I have been imagining that the children of Ximeng may not be able to experience the fun of playing soccer
More than 10 years ago, the Ximeng County relocated to a new site, the newly built city of Ximeng built on the mountain, a straight avenue on both sides of a small building, most of the buildings, and the city of Ximeng, the city of Ximeng, the city of Ximeng, the city of Ximeng, the city of Ximeng, the city of Ximeng. A small building after another, most of the buildings have the design of Wa totem shapes such as the bull's head pattern, and each building has a different shape when you look at it closely.
There are different combinations of balcony designs and color schemes, and what is especially striking is the straw tassels on the buildings densely covering the balconies, reminiscent of the coziness of a straw house in a fairy tale.
A closer look, these small buildings or government offices, or a company's business hall, or a shopping mall into the night, each building on the lights turned on, golden, outlining a beautiful shape, the city is small, but exquisite chic, Ximeng, a small golden city.
Mysterious and serene green Longtan
If Ximeng is a golden city, then Longtan is a green pearl beside it. Reed wetlands, primitive forests around a blue water around the Longtan, like a ballet in the water of the spring is the Longtan quiet, unfathomable source, the mountain reflected in the water, water nourishes the mountain, mountain and water, water and water, water and sky in one color. Walking on the soft wooden paths, or mossy stone paths, breathing in the moist, fresh air, feeling that the whole person is going to be drunk in this green oxygen bar.
The Longmao Master's Sanctuary is a special place, which may be a place of worship for the Wa people. Close to the clear spring with constant flow of water, all the trees and stone walls are covered with cow heads, and it is said that the Wa people are a people who have entered the modern society directly from the primitive society, and the cows are an important part of their life.
Every important day is filled with cows, and their heads are offered to a special place. Next to the sacred site of the Longmao master, the ever-flowing spring and the mossy tree trunks and bull's head have become one and the same, giving one a sense of eerie coldness, but also letting one smell a kind of spirit of life.
Red and black intertwined Wa mountain feelings
When we finished walking around the dragon pool and followed the sound of the song to the stage in front of the straw house, a Wa song and dance show had just ended here. For several of our viewers, the young men and women who were preparing to unload their clothes performed three programs for us: the hunting dance of the Wa hanzi, the lilting male solo, and the enthusiastic head-throwing dance. Although we have often seen similar dances on TV, it was a different kind of shock to enjoy them so closely, especially the sweet smile of the Wa girl was unforgettable.
The announcer asked us at the beginning of the show: what are the characteristics of the Wa girls? And he prompted us to say: the Wa people are a nation that takes black as its beauty, both the little girl and the young man are all dark-skinned, and their costumes are all in black color with bright red, which makes them look more vivid in the exuberant and enthusiastic dances.
When I first met Wa Mountain, the golden small town, the green dragon pool, the red and black intertwined spirituality, together with the intoxicating blue sky and white clouds, constructed a colorful picture, which left me with a wonderful memory.
