Experiencing traditional culture while traveling is a continuation of memory. "In addition to scenery and snacks, when people really participate and participate in understanding the local culture, the memory of the destination will be deeper.

Experience Guangxi's colorful intangible cultural heritage while traveling

Guangxi is a neighboring province of Guangdong. Starting from Guangzhou, it only takes 2.5 hours for high-speed rail to reach Guilin City, which has the best mountains and rivers in the world. As one of the most popular tourist destinations for Guangzhou people, in addition to traditional scenic tours when visiting Guilin, there are also amazing intangible cultural heritage skills to experience.

During this five-day ethnic characteristic tour in Guangxi, we experienced Guilin lacquerware, Sanjiang Dong songs, Dong Dong textiles, Yao oil tea... These colorful intangible cultural heritage is worth exploring, understanding and inheritance.

This travel note covers food, accommodation, travel, travel, and shopping, and marks many good places worth checking in, allowing you to freely explore Guilin, a city of mountains and rivers, in a comfortable and novel way.

The bustling East and West Alley, passing through Guilin City, the intangible cultural heritage experience in memory

During the trip, we deeply experienced Guangxi's rich intangible cultural heritage. The first stop was to come to the east and west alleys in front of Zhengyang Gate of Jingjiang Palace in Guilin.

Like the wide and narrow alleys in Chengdu and the Nanluogu alleys in Beijing, every "city with stories" always has an alley that combines folk customs and modernity, and is culturally and fashionable. The alleys that best represent the city in Guilin City are the east and west alleys.

Different from other antique pedestrian neighborhoods, Guilin's East-West Alley is a combination of traditional culture and characteristic buildings. It not only preserves the street style left over from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, but also has many products with national characteristics that can be experienced in the streets and alleys, allowing culture to be here. Continue, thus activating the style of "Old Guilin's streets and alleys" and retaining the Bobosheng machine.

Kagu Hall is a good place to experience intangible cultural heritage. It is hidden in an ancient alley. The entrance is not big, but the interior is decorated with antique customs. When you walk into the lobby, you can feel the cultural atmosphere coming to your face.

Most of the understanding of intangible cultural heritage in people's memory is the collections placed in museums, and it feels that it is a very serious matter to understand them.

If you want to have a more thorough understanding of intangible cultural heritage culture, personal experience is a good teacher.

I found my interest in intangible cultural heritage culture and personally felt its charm. There are many Guangxi intangible heritage skills projects to experience in Gagu Hall. We chose the most profound group fan making skills to learn.

Under the guidance of a craftsman dressed in ancient costumes, we learned the whole process of making group fans, began to get into contact with and understand the development of this long-standing handicraft and handicraft skills, broaden our horizons, cultivate our sentiments, and enhance our own Hands-on ability.

By understanding the inheritance of this culture and the edification form of art, people will be interested in understanding traditional Chinese intangible cultural heritage, feel that the skills passed down are interesting, fun and valuable, and enhance their sense of pride in the nation.

Crossing the east and west alleys, you will find the prosperous Guilin city. Dongxi Lane witnessed the rise and fall of Guilin City in nearly 1400 years since its establishment during the Wude period of the Tang Dynasty. On this ancient historical street, there are many small handicrafts with national characteristics to stroll around.

Walking on the ancient street paved with stone roads, you can see handmade brocade made by old craftsmen or fired glaze handicrafts on site, as if putting you in the middle of the old commercial boom. In the fun of traveling, I truly experienced the historical context of Guilin.

Dongxi Lane flourished during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At its peak, it was once known as a treasure land. Not only do scholars gather for business, but dignitaries also choose to live here.

Many historical and cultural landscapes such as Ma Qibang's former residence, Jiangxi Chamber of Commerce, Guangdong Guild Hall, and Long's former residence are located in Dongxi Alley.

At the same time, Dongxi Lane is also the birthplace of many time-honored brands: "Youyixuan" rice noodles,"Zhang Yongfa" dyed cloth,"Xiong Tonghe" drugstore,"Jufengtai" Commercial Bank, and "Huang Changdian" brush brush all originated here. Therefore, this is also a must-visit tourist shopping district for tourists when visiting Guilin. While shopping, it is also quite good to select some special products as a gift and take them home to send friends away.

When you come to Dongxi Lane, you can't miss the Xiaoyao Building next to it. Every night, when the lanterns first come on, it is the most charming time for Xiaoyao Tower. The perfect fusion of the historical stage and the lanterns makes it the best viewing platform to see the night view of the Li River.

Standing on the pavilion, you can see the shadows of the Li River flowing across the river close, and the green peaks rising one after another from a distance, and you can have a panoramic view of the Li River.

Xiaoyao Building was built in the fourth year of Wude of the Tang Dynasty and was built by Li Jing, the chief manager of Guilin. Historically, Xiaoyao Building was once as famous as the Yellow Crane Tower, Tengwang Pavilion and other famous buildings. It has a sense of history and vicissitudes.

There is a stone tablet at the entrance of Xiaoyao Tower. The three words "Xiaoyao Tower" on the front were written by Yan Zhenqing, a calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty. The strokes are vigorous, dignified and majestic, and are the largest work of Yan Zhenqing's surviving calligraphy.

Tour the two rivers and four lakes at night and wander among Guilin's dreamy mountains and rivers

Coming out of the East and West Alley, I came to the Jingxiang Hotel in Guilin not far away for a buffet. The biggest feature of this restaurant is the excellent scenery. While eating, you can see Guilin's emblem, Elephant Trunk Mountain.

Elephant Trunk Mountain was originally named Li Mountain, and was named because the mountain resembles a giant elephant standing on the edge of the Li River and stretching its nose out to drink water.

Elephant Trunk Mountain is a symbol of Guilin's mountains and rivers. There is a circular space left between the elephant's trunk and elephant legs, shaped like a bright moon on the water, from which the well-known "Xiangshan Water Moon" comes. At night, illuminated by colorful lights, Elephant Trunk Mountain exudes a dreamy beauty and is very charming.

If you want to experience the charm of Guilin at night, you must visit the two rivers and four lakes at night.

The night tour of the two rivers and four lakes is similar to the night tour of the Pearl River in Guangzhou. The boarding dock is within walking distance from where we ate just now. The hull is a closed cruise ship with transparent walls. When entering the inner lake, the platform on the ship is open to take photos for tourists.

The two rivers and four lakes are a ring-city water system in Guilin City that can rival Venice. During a 90-minute night tour, you can see the night view of the Li River, Elephant Trunk Mountain, fir Lake and Guilin City.

On both sides of the Li River, there is a fire tree and silver flower light show, with green mountains stacked on top of each other. Metasequoia trees stand tall and straight in the clear water, with fiery red arrow-like crowns, and the brilliance is super beautiful.

You can see more than ten traditional famous mountains such as Diecai Mountain, Fubo Mountain and Qixing Mountain along the way.

Among them, Fubo Mountain was the place where Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo in the Han Dynasty, passed through during his southern expedition. Half of it was on the land and half of it was inserted into the river pool. The foot of the mountain blocked the return of the mountains. It was praised as the "Fubo Shengjing".

Diecai Mountain is named after its stone inscriptions are spread horizontally and colorful and green, like brocade and satin.

After entering the lake area, it is like entering a "museum" of bridges, during which cruise ships pass under countless bridges.

The most impressive ones are the Glass Bridge and the Lize Bridge.

The more amazing thing is to say "Guihu Fishing Fire", which shows us the scene of traditional fishermen fishing at night through lighting and real-life interpretation.

The "Two Rivers and Four Lakes" decorate the New Guilin City with artistic lighting, wandering among the dreamy mountains and rivers, showing the city's colorful historical culture and landscape scenery. A boat trip to Guilin on the water is a new way to experience the night scenery of Guilin.

Stay at Jasper International Hotel in the evening. In the afternoon, I arrived at the hotel from the high-speed railway station and had just entered the gate. I felt the strong ethnic characteristics. Several girls in bright ethnic costumes sat cross-legged on the ground and performed bamboo pole dances for us.

The lobby exudes super cool luxury from the outside to the inside. The marble stripes on the ground look like winding and flowing Lijiang River water, which is very local. The mural in front of the Tourmaline Tea Restaurant is all made of brass. The content depicts Guilin's city emblem, Elephant Trunk Mountain, Yangshuo's thousand-year-old banyan tree, and folk houses in northern Guangxi. It looks golden and is impressive.

When I pushed open the door, I saw a faint aroma of wood. The murals were full of Chinese style, with a calm, elegant and charming combination.

The next day, I went to the Guilin International Convention and Exhibition Center in Guangxi to visit the "2019 China-ASEAN Expo Tourism Exhibition". This tourism exhibition has regional characteristics and is a tourism cooperation platform open to the world.

The tourism exhibition has a total of 7 exhibition areas, namely the "Belt and Road" theme hall, the overseas tourism professional exhibition hall, the Guangxi International Friendship City Tourism Alliance exhibition hall, the international tourism commodity exhibition hall, the tourism consumption exhibition hall, the Guangxi Tourism Image Exhibition Hall and domestic tourism professional exhibition hall.

In the tourism exhibition, what I am most interested in is the display of Guilin's intangible cultural heritage. In the Guilin Intangible Cultural Heritage Tribe, I saw the only Guilin lacquerware making technique that has been passed down in Guangxi to this day. It is an intangible cultural heritage of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

Guilin's traditional lacquer-making skills have a long history and are an outstanding representative of ancient Lingnan craftsmanship, technology and culture. Among the ancient lacquerware varieties in Guangxi, the only precious cultural heritage restored and made.

There are many varieties of ancient lacquerware in Guilin, but there are roughly two types with the most local characteristics. One is lacquerware in northern Guangxi. The process source was influenced by Jingchu lacquerware and developed the characteristics of Guihua; the other is the work of the people of Lingnan. In life, natural body lacquerware is a masterpiece of clever use of natural resources.

At the scene, I saw that these natural lacquerware were unique in shape, colorful and very exquisite. It turned out that these small and elegant lacquerware were mainly used by literati in Guangxi to dress up fine wine in ancient times, reflecting the living preferences of cultural people in Guilin at that time. It was quite interesting.

Catering is a kind of culture and nostalgia. Eating in our country is even a poetic enjoyment. Guangxi's local customs and customs are also conveyed to the world through delicious food.

At the ASEAN Expo Tourism Exhibition, Le Wanjun once again experienced the "intangible cultural heritage food" on the tip of his tongue-Gongcheng Camellia oleifera.

Gongcheng Camellia oleifera was listed as an intangible cultural heritage of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in 2008. Camellia oleifera is the daily food of the Yao people. Its raw materials are local glutinous rice, tea oil, tea, rice flowers, crisp soybeans, fried peanuts, and chopped green onion.

Camellia oleifera has the effect of strengthening the stomach and promoting digestion. Guangxi is a famous longevity city in my country. There are many longevity stars over the age of 90. According to scholars 'postgraduate entrance examination, the reasons for longevity are closely related to their diet. One of them is that they all like to drink rapeseed.

Camellia oleifera is mainly made of tea and ginger. At the scene, the inheritor of Camellia oleifera wearing national costumes showed us the production process of Gongcheng Camellia oleifera. First, the tea leaves, ginger, garlic and other ingredients are pressed together with the tea leaves, and the tea is fried. When making soup, use a tool like a bamboo basket to filter the tea residue.

When drinking camellia oleifera, put the rice flowers, fried peanuts, etc. prepared in advance into a bowl, and pour the filtered tea into it to get the camellia oleifera with beautiful color, aroma, etc.

These unique delicacies and food cultures have been passed down from generation to generation, and their existence, together with Guangxi, has conveyed the beauty of China's intangible cultural heritage food culture to the world.

The ASEAN Expo Tourism Exhibition not only displays intangible culture from Guangxi, but also displays other places in the country. For example, in the Guizhou exhibition hall, there is a display of the traditional ancient method of tie-dyeing of Dong plants. This is an ancient method of making blue dyeing of Dong nationality. The materials used for dyeing cloth are derived from natural plants.

The secret of the color of tie-dyeing is these natural plants.

Different plants can produce different colors. It's amazing.

At the booth in Lijiang, Yunnan, there is a display of Dongba culture, and the intangible cultural heritage inheritors write their names in Dongba language for the audience on the spot. In 2006, Naxi Dongba script was listed as the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage. Professor Ryuo Nishida of Kyoto University in Japan even called it "living hieroglyphs."

Dongba script is a materialized form of Naxi national culture. The inheritor of Dongba culture at the scene was Master He Huaqiang from Baisha Town, Yulong County.

For young people, travel is no longer a rudimentary experience as tasting delicious food or checking in to take photos. People hope to find memories of a certain destination and gain a deeper understanding.

Understanding the craftsmanship behind a handicraft, or the bowl of Gongcheng Camellia oleifera that awakens the taste buds every day... are intangible cultural heritage that we can't imagine. Walking in Guangxi, we experience different intangible cultural heritage during travel, and try to find The most distinctive connotations of local ethnic minorities can make your travel memory deeper. This kind of tourism is more meaningful than simple scenery sightseeing.

Living in the scenery and accompanying mountains and rivers is a new way to spend a vacation in Guilin

Guilin's mountains and rivers are the best in the world, and Yangshuo can be said to be the best in Guilin. The peaks reflect the mountains and floating water. Without mountains and water, one cannot be immersed. If you want to deeply appreciate the essence of Guilin's mountains and rivers, you must visit Yangshuo. This time, Le Wanjun specially chose a resort hotel on the edge of the Li River to immersively enjoy a poetic landscape vacation.

A hotel built for vacation along the Li River

Alila. Yangshuo Sugar House is a super beautiful resort hotel located on the Li River. It was converted from an old state-owned sugar factory. The first impression is that it is full of industrial style, mottled wall tiles, and conspicuous slogans... The traces of time tell the history of the old sugar factory.

Entering the lobby, you will find that the interior design is very elegant. The red sunken sofa is fashionable and innovative. The lobby was formerly the power generation room of the sugar factory, and various art works in the interior also solved the depression caused by the old building.

The carpet depicts a map of the essence of Yangshuo of the Li River. The designers 'demands on details are a perfect interpretation of Yangshuo's local culture.

Internet celebrity check-in points are the swimming pool. The view is super beautiful. No matter who has seen it, they will be amazed at the designer's creativity.
The swimming pool was converted from the dock where sugar cane was originally harvested. Several original columns from the old sugar factory are still left around, making it magnificent.

You will feel like you are integrated with nature when you are in the swimming pool. They embed Guilin's unique karst landscape in it.

The magnificent columns are like picture frames, embedding the charming landscape of the Li River in it, making it amazing.

Hold your hands on the glass railing on the edge of the pool and look out. Looking out at the mountains and the pool water up close. Everything you can see is a refreshing and beautiful scenery.

Every night, whenever "Impressions. When "Third Sister Liu" begins to perform, the sky above the swimming pool will project a psychedelic colorful light beam, as if in a world of magic novels.

The whole hotel is built for a vacation. The designer retains the original rough industrial style, but the design inside is extremely fashionable and unique. Strolling around the hotel at night, you will find surprises everywhere.

The 1969 Bar, which was converted from the sugar factory press workshop, is another surprise place. Designers use art as a medium to revitalize old things and integrate new objects into old spaces.

The bar is staggered in height, and you can see the constantly changing lights outside through the large glass windows.

The floor will also glow and convert various colored lights, which is very interesting.

When we first arrived, we had afternoon tea on the first floor of the Sugar House Restaurant. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very special.

It's like attending an art exhibition. There are many paintings imitating old photos hanging on the walls and surrounding pillars. They use pictures to tell the stories of the people who once lived in the old sugar factory. It is so interesting.

People before the Lijiang River made a living by fishing, and the food also integrated this feature. On the plate, elements such as fishing wongs appeared, allowing the food to also incorporate cultural characteristics.

Some old-fashioned parts stained with rust were also preserved and placed in the stairway, like art exhibits.

Yangshuo Sugar House has old factories and industrial elements, and its overall strength is very strong. Designers use modernity to collide with new dialogue in old spaces, so that every space has a strong color and achieve the ultimate artistry.

At breakfast the next day, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there were a group of portrait sculptures on both sides of the restaurant. The family waved to two rock climbers.

The two groups of sculptures are separated by the entire lobby. This creative design that transcends space is very interesting.

The chandelier and lampshade of the dining table are made of handmade papermaking, which is very environmentally friendly. The ornaments use old objects or some local characteristic elements, or green bamboo as materials, which is very down-to-earth.

The hotel as a whole is very thoughtful about integrating Guilin's landscape culture. There are many artificial water features around the building. The water features reflect the surrounding buildings into the water. The landscape is almost the same color as the Lijiang River water and seamlessly integrates with Yangshuo's landscape and is very beautiful.

The spacious terrace in the room embraces the surrounding mountains. You can fully enjoy these beautiful scenery by staying in your room without leaving home. Privacy and romance can be said to be the best interpretation here.

The turndown service was very good. When I came back from swimming at night, I found that the housekeeper had lit a fragrance lamp next to the bathtub. The entire room smelled of fragrance, making it super romantic when taking a bath.

The sink is designed to separate dry and wet, and the sink can also be used by two people at the same time.

Living in the scenery and accompanying mountains and rivers makes travel in Guilin no longer a walking horse and horse sightseeing.

Overlooking the mountains and rivers of Guilin from the sky, tips for playing with hot air balloons

People who like to travel may have a dream, which is to experience a romantic hot air balloon. There are many places around the world where you can experience hot air balloons. The most famous one is definitely Turkey. However, if you are not convenient to go abroad, then in China, you can also experience it when you come to Yangshuo, and you can also overlook the mountains and rivers of Guilin from the sky.

The hot air balloon location in Yangshuo is at the Lufthansa Airlines Camp, where you can overlook the Yulong River and the beautiful mountains and rivers of Yangshuo.

As one of Yangshuo's new Internet celebrity projects, the hot air balloon project is divided into two types: tethered flying and free flying. What we experience is "tethered flying".

The hot air balloon is fixed in a specific position by 4 special ropes, vertically up and down, and will not fly away. The whole process takes about 5 minutes, which is very safe.

On the day of the experience, the weather was very good, the airflow was stable, and the sky was clean and thorough.

The young lady in the cabin took out her mobile phone and took photos of the beautiful scenery of Yangshuo.

Watching the Jungle of Yangshuo Peak from high altitude and being in such a picturesque scenery feels very wonderful and exciting.

People are swimming in paintings, and bamboo rafts are drifting in the Yulong River

It is a pity not to visit the Li River when you go to Guilin; it is even more a pity not to visit the Yulong River when you go to Yangshuo.

The Yulong River is known as the "Little Li River" and is the longest tributary of the Li River in Yangshuo.

The Yulong River has a total length of 43.5 kilometers. The river water is clear, the water flow is slow, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful. The Yulong River is famous for its green mountains, green water, green bamboo, strange bridges, and clever villages. It is one of the best scenic spots in Guilin's mountains and rivers. The best way to experience the Yulong River is to take bamboo raft rafting.

Different from hiking on the Li River. Yulong River is lying lazily on the recliner of a bamboo raft listening to the singing of the boatman and feeling "people swimming in the painting".

Enjoy the sunshine and the singing of birds and flowers around you, look at the green green mountains on both sides of the strait, and the beautiful scenery of the countryside. Everything is so beautiful.

During the entire two-hour rafting, there was no thrilling element, except that when crossing the weir, the upper half of the bamboo raft felt a little weightless when it entered the water.

The tour guide said that the Yulong River was called "Anle Water" in ancient times. It is said that long ago, the Dragon King of the East China Sea cruised here and hid himself when he saw the beautiful scenery here. At first, he only surfaced at night to enjoy the beautiful scenery greedily. Later, he couldn't help but sneak out during the day. Many villagers along the river were lucky enough to see it. In commemoration of the stone arch bridge built on the river named "Yulong Bridge", people later changed the name of Anle River to Yulong River, taking the meaning of "living when encountering dragons".

The Yulong River in Yangshuo is a scroll with various mountains on both sides. The beautiful mountains and rivers have brought countless inspirations to artists. The famous painter Mr. Xu Beihong created the masterpiece "Spring Rain on the Li River" here. Guan Shanyue, a master painter of the Lingnan School of Painting, created the "Hundred Miles of the Li River" on the bank of the Yulong River.

Summary: Looking at the Li River, there are bamboo rafts made of PU plastic pipes and equipped with diesel engines everywhere; if you want to experience pure human, primitive, natural, simple and pure bamboo raft tours, then Yulong River rafting is a must-miss tourist project.

Guilin is on the tongue, a must-eat delicious food when traveling to Yangshuo

Yangshuo not only has beautiful scenery, but also has delicious food. Today, let's talk about the delicious food that we have to eat when traveling to Yangshuo.

Beer fish is the number one food in the "Yangshuo must-eat hot list".

However, the locals claim that there are only two tricks to make beer fish: one is to use water from the Li River in Yangshuo, and the other is to fresh wild fish from the Li River.

On West Street, there are many beer fish restaurants. Every family has different tastes. To judge whether a beer fish is authentic, it mainly depends on whether the fish has scales. Authentic Yangshuo beer fish must be scaly!

The fish is cut open without scraping the scales. Cut it in half, cut it horizontally a few times on each half, sprinkle in salt and shredded ginger, put it in a frying pan and fry it over high heat. When the scales turn yellow, roll it up, sprinkle with soy sauce, sprinkle with red pepper, pour in half a bottle of Liquan Beer, cover and simmer. When the lid was lifted again, the aroma suddenly overflowed. At this time, the beer fish skin was crispy, tender, smooth and fragrant.

The focus of many people traveling is not shopping or sightseeing, but mainly for food and drink. Beer fish is a must-miss local specialty and is worth adding to your travel list.

A must-check attraction when visiting Guilin,"Impressions. Third Sister Liu

I have seen the most beautiful mountains and rivers in Guilin during the day. When night falls, let us come to the Lijiang River to enjoy a vivid story between the mountains and rivers. On the Li River, which has a radius of two kilometers, with twelve peaks as the background, the vast sky forms the largest landscape theater in the world to date.

Traditional performances are performed in the limited space of the theater. "Impression. "Sister Liu" takes natural creation as a real-life stage. Looking around, you can see the water of the Li River, the mountains of Guilin, the grand folk songs and dances and the bright lighting effects, allowing you to completely indulge in this beautiful Yangshuo scenery.

I was impressed by the performance of "Fishing Fire in the Lijiang River" by Sanjie Liu. The fishermen wore coir hats and there were ever-bright oil lamps hanging on the bamboo rafts, like starlight shining in the sky. Fishermen skillfully paddled bamboo rafts and moved quickly back and forth on the river. At the same time, they also danced red silk to create a simple working style and natural inheritance.

Classic scenes: The crescent moon elves dance, bathing, and getting married. This is the climax of the whole play. The elves guarding the mountains and rivers dance on the crescent moon, lighting up the Li River at night.

The girls bathed and changed clothes next to the river, welcoming their sisters to be married, and slowly putting on her wedding dress.

The bride dressed neatly, bid farewell to her family, and boarded the groom's boat.

The overall performance of "Impression of Sister Liu" has no continuous story context or accurate lyrics translation. Instead, it uses Sister Liu as a guide and representatively displays the customs of Zhuang, Yao, Miao, Dong and other ethnic minorities in Guangxi through freehand paintings and familiar folk songs. There are many scenes showing the singing skills of local people, such as the singing of folk songs by girls.

The entire performance lasted 60 minutes, integrating elements such as classic folk songs, natural scenery along the Li River, the life and work of fishermen and villagers, ethnic minority customs, and fishing fires on the Li River into the landscape without trace through visual effects and artistic arrangements. While we watched the performance, we also saw the daily life of Lijiang people.

The costumes used in the performance of "Impression of Sister Liu" are the costumes of local people. The costumes of ethnic minorities are very exquisite, including Zhuang, Yao, and Miao. The fishermen and actors are all villagers from five nearby villages. It is precisely because of their existence that the performance contains rich local culture.

The audience seat of Sanjie Liu is composed of green terraced fields. The auditorium has 2200 seats, including 2000 ordinary seats, 180 VIP seats, and 20 presidential seats.

This time we experienced the presidential seat, which is the highest in the sea of all seats and has the best view. Each box can seat 4 people. There is a small dining table in front of each person with fruit plates, handkerchiefs, drinking water, etc. placed on it.

The presidential seat box is on the third floor, and there are welcome staff wearing national costumes downstairs to provide guidance services.

Each person also has a service bell. When you need service, press it lightly and the staff will come over. The experience is very good.

The most dreamy place in the Li River landscape, the Three Thousand Li River

The "Three Thousand Li" Shanshui Cultural Resort is located on the bank of the Lijiang River, the most beautiful landscape in the world, and is perfectly integrated with China's most beautiful real-life landscape paintings! The 20-yuan "Yellow Cloth Reflection" observation deck in the resort is the most dreamy place to check in the mountains and rivers of the Li River.

This place called "Mirror of the Sky" is essentially an Internet celebrity swimming pool in the resort. Whenever it is sunny and there is no wind, the pool water is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the sky and mountains and rivers delicious food in the water. Between the real and the real, it is like a fantasy of mountains and rivers that ethereal outside the world, making tourists fascinated.

Dusk is the most beautiful time to take photos. At this time, the light is soft, the surrounding peaks are stacked with green peaks, and the sense of layering between the peaks is the strongest.

Yangshuo's mountains and rivers are superior to Guilin, and Yangshuo's mountains and rivers are in Xingping. Under aerial photography, we can see that Sanqian Li Shanshui Cultural Resort is next to the Millennium Ancient Town of Xingping. The first opening area is a waterfront cultural tourism district built with the theme of fishing culture based on the landscape resources along the Dayuan River.

When you are in Sanqian Li, you will no longer be a traveler passing by in a hurry. You can also be a local and have an intimate contact with the cultural heritage of Guilin's mountains and rivers:

The resort is the creative base of Guangxi Minbowen. You can experience the making process of a bowl of authentic handmade freshly squeezed rice noodles, hand-weaving Zhuang brocade or Yangshuo straw weaving and other ancient art cultural experiences. Since we had experienced the making of group fans when traveling in Guilin, we chose Hanfu experience this time.

The Ancient Art Culture Experience Center changed into a set of Hanfu and walked on the street, allowing tourists to feast their eyes while also enjoying their "Hanfu addiction".

The water-friendly plank road along the river is the most popular among everyone. Although it is already autumn, Yangshuo still has many flowers, yellow, red, pink, blue, purple, and countless flowers. Standing among the flowers wearing Chinese clothes and taking photos is so beautiful.

In addition to the Hanfu experience, there is also the Guangxi Museum of Nationalities in Sanqian Li. There are many exhibits with ethnic minority characteristics on display here, including the characteristic costumes, historical culture, and cultural customs of the 12 ethnic groups in Guangxi. It is very suitable for people who like ethnic style come to check in.

In Sanqian Li Shanshui Cultural Resort, there are currently three themed hotels open for accommodation. Each theme takes Guangxi's local intangible cultural heritage as a clue, creating a rare leisure time among the most beautiful landscape of the Li River.

I stayed at the Yujiao themed hotel. Cormorant fishing has been passed down for thousands of years and is a unique fishing culture along the Li River. The Yujiao theme uses elements of bamboo rafts and bamboo baskets to decorate it. The light and shadow seem to travel through a century, and you can feel the busy fisherman when the fishing fire is bright.

Shuttling through the corridors and sitting quietly in the house, the places where the fishing lanterns are often lit are the most simple atmosphere of the Lijiang River. Tradition continues, the essence enters the heart, and the poetry of living elsewhere is also in this little fishing lantern.

The room was cozy and comfortable. Landscape elements are integrated into it, which has a very cultural atmosphere.

If you stay in Sanqian Li, you can have a rich evening life. You can watch the romantic starry sky under the peak forest with your lover, or you can go to the river to watch a free night tour dream water show, and perform the real-life landscape performance of "Three Generations, Li".

Unlike the performances you usually watch, the theater here is mobile, and a performance is held in three venues. Audiences need to move their viewing positions as the plot develops.

There is a river separating the performer and the audience, and various dreamy lighting performances are very beautiful.

The whole story tells the story of a fairy fish descending to the Three Thousand Li River, indulging in the Li River, accidentally entering a fishing net and being rescued by a fisherman, and repaying her kindness in three generations.

The entire performance lasted about 1 hour. After the end, Le Wanjun took a group photo with the male and female protagonists.

The name "Three Thousand Li" comes from the Buddhist scripture "Take one scoop from the three thousand weak waters". What it means is that when people travel around the south of the Yangtze River and read all the scenery in the world, they suddenly look back. I think Sanqian Li is the destination worth staying for a long time in my mind.

Visit the original ecological customs of the Dong people and appreciate the beauty of intangible cultural heritage on the tip of your tongue

China is a vast country and rich resources, and each ethnic group has its own different "label". Just like the Dong nationality, which has countless intangible cultural heritage projects, the Dong nationality song may appear in many people's minds immediately. However, in addition to singing, the hard-working Dong people also have intangible cultural heritage food worthy of our visit.

The Dong Hundred Banquet is the most distinctive dietary custom in Sanjiang, Guangxi. It is also known as "closed meal" and "long table banquet". It has a history of hundreds of years in Sanjiang. In 2008, it was included in the Guangxi Autonomous Region Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Project.

The Baijia Banquet is not only the highest etiquette for collective hospitality in Dong areas. It was originally a ceremony in which relatives and friends visited and the entire family came to entertain guests. Today, the "Hundred Banquets" have become the distinctive cultural tourism business card of the Dong family, attracting tourists from all walks of life.

We experienced this Hundred Dong Banquet in Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County (Guandong Scenic Area) in Guangxi. After getting off the bus, the villagers had already lined up at the foot of the mountain to block the road to welcome guests. After they had to sing folk songs to each other, the stockade master allowed us to enter the village.

The "Hundred Banquet" is the most solemn hospitality custom in Dong Village. Before eating, Dong women serve each tourist a bowl of Camellia oleifera.

Camellia oleifera is an important etiquette for the Dong people. No matter where you go in the Dong area, the owner will invite you to drink tea. After eating Camellia oleifera, we can only have dinner. Compared with the previous ones eaten and eaten in Guilin, this Dong camellia has the characteristics of fragrance, crispy and sweetness, and the experience is more authentic.

After drinking Camellia oleifera, I began to appreciate the performances of the Dong people. Guandong Village has a strong ethnic cultural atmosphere, and all men and women in the village can sing and dance well.

The performances mainly include Dong song and dance cultural customs such as Dong textiles, Lusheng stepping halls, and Duoye dance.

The performance venue was held at the highest point of the shanzhai, in the square in front of the Dong Family Drum Tower.

After watching the song and dance, I began to experience the Dong food culture firsthand. The hundreds of banquet tables are in the shape of a long row and are made up of several rectangular tables. The long tables are arranged in a "one" shape. It is a special dietary custom for Dong villages to jointly hold banquets and entertain guests.

At the banquet, the host and guests sat opposite each other, toasting and singing toast songs. The scene was very lively and spectacular.

The dishes include fried grasshoppers, silkworm figurines, pickled fish, pickled pork, home-grown green vegetables, brewed sour peppers, liqueur wines, glutinous rice and glutinous rice cakes. Field snails, white-cut chicken, etc., are rich in food, sweet, sour and spicy, and have everything.

The scene of the Baijia Banquet and the toast was lively and harmonious. Although it was not a delicacy of mountains and seas, its simple rural atmosphere, hospitable villagers, and strong Dong customs would be unforgettable for a lifetime.

In 2008, Sanjiang's "Hundred Hundred Dong Banquets" were included in the Guangxi Autonomous Region-level intangible cultural heritage protection project. The "Hundred Hundred Banquets" have become the distinctive cultural tourism business card of the Dong family, attracting countless tourists. If you pass by Sanjiang, remember to let the tip of your tongue appreciate this unexpected intangible cultural heritage beauty.

A must-see for tourism in Sanjiang, a stormy bridge carrying a century of cultural history

Sanjiang is named after the confluence of Rongjiang River, Xunjiang River and Miao River. It is located in the northern part of Guangxi Province. This Dong autonomous county has many wooden buildings with Dong characteristics such as Drum Tower, Fengyu Bridge, and Dong residences.

Walking into Guangxi and visiting the most beautiful Dong rural customs, we came to Chengyang, where many wind and rain bridges carry hundreds of years of cultural history of the Dong people.

After getting off the bus, the first thing I saw was the Chengyang Fengyu Bridge built in 1916. This bridge integrates the essence of Dong's characteristic wooden construction skills. It has been more than a hundred years and still stands upright on the river, reflecting the Dong people's craftsmanship.

Chengyang Fengyu Bridge is the crystallization of the wisdom of the people of Dong Township and an artistic treasure in Chinese wooden architecture. It is called one of the ten most incredible bridges in the world. Together with Zhaozhou Stone Arch Bridge, Novawo Steel Beam Bridge in Romania, and Luding Iron Chain Bridge, it is listed as the world's four famous historical bridges.

The wind and rain bridge is the best location to see from near the large water car. At this time, the entire bridge appears in front of you in a panoramic view. There are 5 tower bridge pavilions and 19 bridge corridors jointly built on the piers of Chengyang Fengyu Bridge. The pavilions and corridors are connected and integrated, making it very majestic.

Walking on the bridge, you will also find that the amazing thing about its architecture is that the entire bridge does not need to be nailed and riveted. Large and small pieces of wood are chiseled and connected with tenons. There are also benches on both sides of the bridge for people to rest on.

Mr. Guo Moruo, a great literary hero, once wrote a poem for Cheng Yangqiao's title, and the handwritten inscription is now stored not far from the bridge.

It is said that Cheng Yangqiao was named after about 700 years ago, two families named Qian and Yang first came to live here. They built the bridge and took the names of the two families, and they named it Cheng Yangqiao.

Heading east along the Linxi River and up the river are endless villages. The Dong people set up villages along the river and the mountains. Rows of blue tile wooden buildings are tall, uneven, simple and elegant. The so-called Chengyang Bazhai was born in this situation.

Ma 'an Dong Village, one of the eight villages, is one of the ancient villages of the world cultural heritage. It is said that Cheng Yang's ancestor Cheng, when he first came here, he sat on a horse. When resting, it turned into the southernmost slope of the eight villages in Cheng Yang. Because the shape is very similar to a saddle, this village is called Ma' an Village.

Helong Bridge is a wind and rain bridge connecting Yanzhai and Pingzhai. It was built in the Qing Dynasty. It is the oldest ancient bridge in the scenic area.

There is a bridge corridor on the bridge for pedestrians to take shelter from the rain. Some Dong women set up stalls here to sell some handmade goods. It looks like a very distinctive indigo dyed Dong green clothes and blue pants. Pure hand-embroidered small flower bags, etc.

Qiaolan is also a good place for art college students to learn painting and sketching. They enjoy the tranquility of this field.

There must be a gate in a fortress. The gate of Dong Village is generally built at the intersection of entering and exiting the village, which is one of the symbols of Dong Village. In ancient times, it was used to defend against enemies, but now it is a place where villagers welcome guests, salute them to block the road wine, and sing the road song.

The Dong folk houses in Chengyang still retain the ancient Yue "Ganlan"-style wooden building structures, like these suspended buildings. In the Dong Village, the stone roads that can never be completed are the stone roads. They are witnesses of the ancient enthusiasm of the Dong people, because the road construction cannot be completed overnight, but you pave a section and I pave a section, and the accumulation makes a lot. Finally, it connects into a complete stone road.

Drum Tower is the tallest building in the Dong village and an important place for the inheritance of the Dong traditional culture. The Dong people have a saying that "buildings are built before villages are built." It can be seen that the Drum Tower is different in the hearts of the Dong people.

The drum tower of Dong Village is a multi-layered wooden structure, made of columns and boards made of fir through tenons, without having to nail one willow. Except for the two floors on the roof of the Drum Tower, the rest of the tile eaves are equidistantly divided, the layers are compressed, and the floor is pyramidal. It is a unique cultural symbol of Dong Village.

The Drum Tower has functions of assembly, discussion, entertainment and leisure.

In today's society, people are constantly pursuing high-quality lifestyles, which is an inevitable trend in social development. When traveling, they choose what kind of hotels and hotels to stay in. They just want to find a nest to sleep and eat enough. This behavior has become a thing of the past.

To share the fun of travel and experience the local culture, I chose Sanjiang Jingxiang Hotel. The reason why I chose it was that the location was particularly good, at the highest point of the entire county. Sitting on a chair in the room at night and looking at the landmark building of Sanjiang County-Fengyu Bridge, it is super romantic.

Another reason that attracts me is that Sanjiang Jingxiang Hotel integrates territorial elements and life aesthetics well. The decorative paintings in the rooms are full of Dong cultural elements.

The bathroom is large and comfortable, and the design of the dry and wet area is satisfactory.

The rooftop restaurant has an elegant environment and a unique 360-degree outdoor view. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Three Rivers while tasting the delicious food.

The restaurant can taste many dishes with Dong characteristics, which are made by chefs using local ingredients. Dong cuisine in Sanjiang is mainly sour and spicy.

Dong nationality specialties: dustpan and firewood duck

Dong's specialty dish, Dong's pickled cabbage

There is also five-color glutinous rice named after its colorful scenery. It has five colors: black, red, yellow, white and purple, and is also known as "black rice".

In Guangxi, people have the habit of making five-color glutinous rice on the third day of the third lunar month or during the Qingming Festival every year. Natural pigments are beneficial and harmless to the human body, each with a fragrance and a unique flavor. The five-color glutinous rice has excellent color, aroma and taste, and also has nourishing, fitness, medical, and beauty effects.

Select high-quality glutinous rice, pick purple rattan, yellow flower, maple leaf, red blue (red silk thread), soak it out, mix it with glutinous rice respectively, and then steam it together. It is not only colorful, but also tastes fragrant and pure, symbolizing a beautiful life. Du Fu once wrote a good saying about it: "There is no green rice that makes me better in color."

Dong grilled fish is also a must-eat food that must not be missed.

Dongxiang customs and intangible cultural heritage charm that must be seen in Sanjiang tourism

After having a full meal and wine, if you want to deeply experience the Dong customs at night, you can go across the hotel to watch a performance of "Dong Listening to the Three Rivers" focusing on intangible cultural heritage. The performance combines many mysterious stories and beautiful legends of the Dong people.

The performance of "Dong Listening to the Three Rivers" is divided into three chapters: "Magnificent","Yao Xiang" and "Dong Listening". It vividly presents the strange customs of the Dong people's production and labor, annual seasons, marriage and love customs, food traditions, etc., with multiple levels and multiple visuals. It displays the beautiful, beautiful and ancient and mysterious "Three Rivers" customs.

The picture shows Dong Township's "lifting officials"

Ancient customs such as Guangxi's intangible cultural heritage "Dong Camellia oleifera" and Dong Township's "Carrying Officials" have been set up as open and experiential programs, extending from the plot to outside the stage. Audiences can personally participate in the Dong family praying for blessings and drinking Dong tea., seizing Dong ceremonies and other real links, experience the folk customs of the Sanjiang ethnic minorities up close, and immerse themselves in the ups and downs of the drama situation.

Relying on Dong culture and integrating the rich connotations of Sanjiang's intangible cultural heritage, the rich performances and interactions on site made the audience very excited. At the same time, vivid performances and program arrangements were also used to understand the relationship between man and nature. The origin of the profound culture and customs of the Dong people.

There are 11 programs with 11 customs, among which the representative one is the Dong Song. The Dong song originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and has a history of more than 2500 years.

In 2009, the Dong song was included in the list of representative works of the world's intangible cultural heritage of mankind. In 2018, it also appeared on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

The Dong people are one of the most fond singing ethnic groups in the world. Most of the Dong songs sing about nature, labor, love and friendship among the people. The melodious singing sounds as if you hear the solemnity of the ethnic people discussing in the drum tower and the wind and rain on the wind and rain bridge. Baptism, you can also hear the gurgling water under the bridge, the chirping of warblers and birds in the forest, and the thunder in the summer night.

Sanjiang is a small ethnic minority county town with pleasant scenery. It has the longest wind and rain bridge in the world and the tallest wooden drum tower. You can experience the unique style of Dong Township when you come here. After reading the message, tell Xiaobian that you want to experience it.
