Moxian is a small mountain town, an "S" shaped street, the urban area is concentrated in the valley, this day is catching up with the residents to catch up with the market, only to see agricultural products and the like on the market, the price is cheap, there are many eggs, it is too late to look carefully and get on the car again, today to rush to Pu'er.

After the ink county is downhill road, also take the "zigzag", to the foot of the mountain is a steel cable suspension bridge, the driver said: "This is the peacock house---- the border river." "We stared at the jungle on the side of the road, trying to see the live peacocks, but we didn't see half of them out of the corner of our eyes. The border river is not wide, but the river is agitated, roaring like thunder, rushing to the southeast, and it is called the Heishui River in Qu country. Judging from the map, the Red River and the Heishui River are like sisters joining hands, both flowing to Qu Kingdom.

The car began to climb again, and the car shuttled back and forth in the mountains, which was really "the car travels in the mountains, and the people swim in the clouds". When we reached the top of the mountain, it rained hard, and everyone was drenched in water, but fortunately it was hot, otherwise they would be sick. Arrived in Puxian at seven o'clock that night.

Puxian County is also a small city with a big palm, the highway passes outside the city, many restaurants and snack shops are built along the road, so many of us live in the guest house of the county party committee, and what is more pleasing is that the bedding is very generous, nylon mosquito nets, silk quilts, embroidered pillows, spring beds, the room is tidy, this is the sweetest night since the spring city. Someone joked: I got married today and slept in a cave room, but I just didn't visit the church ....... Everyone is very grateful for the care of the superiors.

Puxian is the hometown of the famous tea - Pucha, we took advantage of the fact that the store has not yet closed, bought some tea, smelled it, the fragrance is mellow, the fragrance is fragrant, but the packaging is too primitive, comrade-in-arms Meng Yichang bought two catties, said to send it to his parents to taste.

The next day, the train departed early, crossed the mountains with heavy mountains, crossed the primeval sub-forest that covered the sky and the sun, and arrived at Sishi in the morning. Sishi is a relatively large place, the streets are relatively spacious, and many shops and guest houses have been built on both sides of the highway. The car rotated continuously, the two young men took turns to drive, we were traveling at the southern foot of the Hengduan Mountains, from the map, the north is high and the south is low, the car is downhill to the south, in fact, it is still in the mountains and mountains.

Along the way there are fewer and fewer residential areas, driving for half a day and not seeing a person, except for the road class room, did not see many residents, the car grinds and rubs, turns and turns, more than six o'clock to Wenxian, it is already dark, Wenxian is only a small inn, fortunately there is food, as soon as we arrive at the hostel, the hostel is full, and the head is asleep.

In the Sishi area, you can see mainly coniferous forests such as pine trees, and when you arrive in Puwen, there are mixed trees and broad-leaved forests everywhere, and the trees are many and dense, the road seems to pass through the tunnels of the woods, the wild flowers are full of mountains, and the tulips are fragrant, which is actually the scenery of the southern country. The mountain gradually decreased, and the car seemed to be gliding downward, arriving at Xiaoyang Town at noon, which is under the jurisdiction of Jing City, and there was a fork in the road leading to the remote Mengna County.

It is getting closer and closer to Jingshi, the capital of Mengbalaxi, and the weather is also hot, because Jingshi belongs to the tropical rainforest climate. Our convoy was parked on the side of the road, there were no big restaurants here, so a few hundred of us had to break up and find restaurants to eat.

The name Mengbalaxi is the fourth year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty (1570), when the Xuanwei Division (the highest local administrator) divided the jurisdiction into twelve "bannas". Since then, there has been the Dai name of "Mengbalaxi".

Mengbalaxi Dai Autonomous Prefecture is located in the southwest of Nanzhao Province, with an area of more than 19,580 square kilometers, bordering Laoguo and Myanmar on three sides, close to Qu, and the national border is 1,069 kilometers long. On January 23, 1953, the Mengbalaxi Dai Autonomous Region was established (later changed to a prefecture). In 1958, the total population of the state was about 100,000 (in 2008, the population was about 1 million), and the state capital was Jingshi, which has three counties under its jurisdiction. In 2008, there were more than 500,000 Dai, 250,000 Han, and 250,000 other ethnic groups.

Mengbalaxi Dai Autonomous Prefecture belongs to the tropical monsoon rainforest climate, warm all year round, evergreen all year round, abundant sunshine, abundant rainfall, divided into dry season and rainy season within a year, no winter, the average annual temperature is 21 °C, no frost and snow all year round, with the characteristics of "long summer without winter, one rain into autumn". The rainy season is from late May to late October, and the dry season is from late October to late May. Due to the control of the southwest monsoon in the Indian Ocean and the influence of the southeast monsoon in the Pacific Ocean, it is humid and rainy all year round, so the forest is dense and dense, and the flora and fauna are abundant.

In this magical and rich land, there are 1/4 of the animals and 1/6 of the plants in the country, and it is a veritable "plant kingdom", "animal kingdom", "green kingdom" and "southern medicine kingdom". Mengbalaxi is the only piece of feng shui treasure land in mainland China with tropical monsoon rainforest climate except Hainan Island.

Mengbalasi is the main inhabited area of the Dai people. The Dai people are an ethnic minority with a long history, and their ethnic group originated from the Baiyue ethnic group in the ancient coastal area. Since ancient times, the ancestors of the Dai people have multiplied and lived in the southwest frontier. The Dai people have their own language and pinyin script, and have their own unique calendar. In 1998, there were 1.096 million Dai people in Nanzhao Province, most of whom lived near mountains and rivers, mainly engaged in rice cultivation. The Dai people mainly live in Mengbalaxi Dai Autonomous Prefecture and other places. In terms of clothing, men's clothing is similar to that of Han Chinese, with men preferring to roll a towel or a hat on their heads, while women prefer to wear short-waisted, tight-fitting, thin-sleeved tops on their upper bodies, and wide long skirts on their lower bodies.

We were very excited to meet the Dai people for the first time here, they were different from us in terms of clothing, lifestyle, and language, which made us strange. The eye swept over them as if aliens had been found. They also looked at us armies without guns with amazement.

We ate at a small snack shop with less rice and more rice noodles. Rice noodles are a kind of snack that the Dai people love to eat. Soak and grind rice glutinous rice into a pulp, steam it into blocks, and then cut it into a noodle shape, first blanch it with hot water, pour it into a bowl, and then add fresh broth (or chicken soup) and meat sauce, ginger and onion condiments, etc., it tastes good and is a good snack. There are few shops in the small streets, only one shop and one small restaurant in Xiaoyang Town. As soon as the whistle sounded, everyone got on the car and set off, there were still about 30 kilometers away from Jingshi, a big mountain was in front of you, you had to climb the 15-kilometer slope out of the small street, the car snorted and roared straight up, to the top of Sanda Mountain, the car added water, temporarily rested, said that the cylinder temperature was too high, and it was impossible to walk.

There are many drill towers and rumbling machines near Sandashan, and it is said that there is copper ore underground. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking south, the sea of clouds under the mountain is vast, ethereal as smoke, and you can vaguely see the boundless plain. The driver said that there is Jingshi, and it will be there by more than a dozen roads.
