Four Seasons Clothing and Wear:

In many places in Yunnan, you will definitely see clothes in completely different seasons! Don't be surprised, the average temperature in Kunming next year is between 21 degrees and 10 degrees, and "dressing in all seasons" has become a major feature of Kunming. So, in the past few days, you may see people riding bicycles wearing thick coats, and people walking on the street wearing skirts and shorts without any sense of disobedience, which is not surprising!

Jianshui Steam Pot Immortal Love:

Can the steam pot with a hole in the middle still be used? You can find out when you go to Jianshui County. The steam pot is fired with good clay, and the mouth of the hole in the middle is bulging, like a small chimney, higher than the edge of the pot, and the food will not leak out of the pot. The famous Jianshui steam pot chicken is to put the chicken into this pot, add well water and seasoning, and then put the steam pot on a round pot containing water, fill the gap between the two pots with cotton paper and steam it over a fire. The steamed chicken is white and tender, the soup is bright, the aroma is strong, and the taste is great!

Jade is brought by everyone:

In many places in Dehong Prefecture, the streets are full of jade and jade. Everyone understands three-point jade, and everyone wears jade on their bodies. I didn't wear it, and I also had a few pieces of jade stored at home. Jade jewelry from a few hundred yuan to several million yuan is dizzying. Walking on the street, you will suddenly see the jade worn by passers-by on their hands or necks is worth a house, which makes people feel uneasy. Jade comes from Dehong, just because it is adjacent to Myanmar, the only jadeite producer on earth.

Swallow Nest Emperor Love:

One of the most spectacular caves in Asia, the Jianshui Swallow Cave, is rich in bird's nests. Local farmers often climb the top of the cave more than 50 meters high and 450 meters long with their bare hands to collect bird's nests. This kind of thing made of swallow saliva has high nutritional value and is difficult to collect, and was regarded as a tribute in ancient times. In the eyes of many people, Yunnan is a poor and remote place, in fact, it is not surprising to see bird's nests~

Tropic of Cancer twins:

There is a place rich in twins, and it is said that if you drink the well water in the twin well here, you will give birth to twins. What's even more amazing is that the Earth's Tropic of Cancer passes through here, which adds a lot of reverie. There are really a lot of twins here, and the birth rate of twins is much higher than elsewhere. The local government launched the "International Twin Festival", organized locally, and invited foreign and international twins to gather here, from zero to eighty or ninety years old, which was eye-opening, dazzling, and impossible to distinguish who was who, which is Mojiang County in Yunnan.

The "Seven Star Sheepskin" is made of a whole piece of sheepskin, with a black edge sewn on the top of the upper and lower circles, symbolizing the night sky, and seven embroidered circular cloth plates nailed below, representing the Big Dipper, and a circle of sterling silver on the head, symbolizing the moon, commonly known as "wearing the stars and wearing the moon". It means that Naxi women go out early and return late, and they work hard.
