Dali also has such a niche destination - Hedan Qixuan Village

It turns out that Dali also has such a niche travel destination. Sasha wants to share with everyone the exploration of the Yi village and feel the charm of the intangible cultural heritage. I have been to Dali several times, and it is still dominated by the Bai people here, such as Xizhou, which is known as the first village of the Bai people. I just learned that there are quite a few Yi people here. It is said that the Bai people and the Yi people have a common ancestor. In the Dali country of that year, they also occupied an important position. 🌟Located in Qixuan Village, Hedan, Dali, it is a place full of ethnic customs, and it still retains a rich Yi traditional culture. 🎉Dumb Festival: The Dumb Festival in Qixuan Village has a long history and is now the second largest intangible cultural heritage project in Yunnan Province. Every Lunar New Year's Day, villagers will wear masks or paint on their faces, dance dumb dances, remember their ancestors, and it is also a way of totem worship. 📚Ancestral Hall: The ancestral hall of Qixuan Village enshrines the wooden carvings of ancestors, which is different from our Han nationality's tablets. The one in the middle is the legendary mute girl. If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, you can touch the same part of the mute girl, and the disease will be removed when you touch it! 🥁Pray for the drum: When you come to the village, you must knock on the prayer drum and make a silent wish in your heart. You must knock 3 times, or 6 times, or 9 times, to be particularly effective! 🕺Lifting Vegetable Dance: It is a national intangible cultural heritage, also called Yi Jumping Vegetables. Dancing while serving dishes, I have been to Yunnan dozens of times and this is the first time I have seen it, it is really shocking! It is a ceremonial dance, given to guests from afar! 🌳Entering Qixuan Village, you will also feel the natural scenery and simple folk customs here. Walking on the bluestone road, there are simple houses on both sides, with curling smoke, as if going back to that leisurely and comfortable era. 🌟Qixuan Village is very suitable for slow experience, you can live in the village soon, there are several homestays under construction in the village. A recommended souvenir is a tile cat, which is so cute and can attract wealth and fortune. The price generally starts at 100, the size is different, and the price is different.
