Live Your Best Lives
From late February to early March 2024, during a trip to Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, I visited Manbie Village. This photo shows the entrance to Manbie Village.
Manbie Village is still an agricultural cooperative.
Manbie Village is a longevity village.
Manbie Village is a village that inherits the intangible cultural heritage of the Dai ethnic group.
Villagers still maintain traditional Dai customs, including brocade weaving, bamboo weaving, slow-wheel Dai pottery, palm leaf scripture engraving, papermaking, Dai paper-cutting, making Gaosheng, and brewing. This is the traditional method of boiling red sugar.
The Dai village is full of southern plants, both named and unnamed. This is curry.
This is a Dai stilt house with fighting cocks raised in front of the door.
Dai men like cockfighting. Dai fighting cocks are thin and long.
When these chicks grow up, many of them will become fighting cocks!
Manbie Village is a Dai village with a history of over 500 years. It has a good natural ecology and rich Dai traditional culture.
This is the Buddhist temple in the village.
The murals in the Buddhist temple have a bit of Western style.
