Roses in the salad.

As we drove on the Pansuan Highway, the beautiful scenery of Yisala suddenly unfolded before us. The instant astonishment made us extremely excited and shocked. Everyone praised the beauty of Yisala in unison. Bright orange-red buildings are scattered along the mountain, looking like a majestic red palace complex. No wonder Yishala is known as Little Seda. Yishala is located at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan. It used to be an important post station of Laxiang Ancient Ferry and is a village inhabited by the Lipu Yi ethnic group. There is no tourist bus in Yishala, so individual tourists can only rent a car or drive there by themselves. All scenic spots are free. There is a tourist center parking lot in the scenic area. There is a small square in the center of the village, with the lake on one side and the mountain on the other. There will be grand celebrations here during the Torch Festival. All the Yi villagers wear Soma flowers and sing and dance to their heart's content. It's a pity that we have no chance to see such a grand scene. Standing in the square, the black tiles and red walls against the backdrop of the clear blue water look particularly dazzling. The purple bougainvillea and yellow firecracker flowers are also blooming exceptionally brilliantly, which is refreshing. Although Yisala has undergone cultural and tourism design and renovation, there is no sign of commercialization at all. Walking in the narrow alleys of Yisala, you can hear the crowing of chickens and barking of dogs, and smell the smell of cooking smoke. Outside the village are green fields under the clear blue sky. This is a real village with endless life rather than a cultural and tourism specimen. Occasionally, you can see some creative paintings on the walls of Yishala's streets and alleys. The most distinctive one is this huge rose, which is the rose that Yishala presents to tourists. Leaving Yishala and walking on the mountain road, you can occasionally see exposed orange-red land. That is the color of the Yi residential buildings in Yishala. In an instant, I suddenly realized why the buildings in Yishala are that brilliant red. That is the natural color of the walls built with rammed earth made from local materials. It is the most natural, most fiery and most pure color.
