"Break into the tribe where time has stopped! The secret place of the Wa people, where the child turns into a little chief

"Dad! The Bull Head is looking at us and smiling!" 7-year-old Zhuoma exclaimed, pointing at the Bull Head stake on the village gate. In the Wengding primitive tribe, a Wa grandfather was tapping a wooden drum with his pipe. The sound of "dong-dong" startled the white pheasant on the thatched roof. At this moment, I was sure: we really traveled back to the Wa legend of 400 years ago! 🌟【Must-read before the trip】3 secrets to pass the primitive tribe 1⃣ Transportation Easter egg: Fly to Lincang Airport first, charter a car for 2.5 hours to go up the mountain, and prepare motion sickness patches! 2⃣ Dressing formula: ethnic style shawl + non-slip shoes! There will be "artificial rainfall" in the village at 10 o'clock, don't wear wet fabrics💦 3⃣ Social currency: bring fruit hard candy! 3 candies can be exchanged for 5 Wa ethnic blessing phrases 🗿【Daily Fantasy Moment】Turning the tribe into a children's playground Day 1: Entry Ceremony As soon as we passed the village gate, water was splashed on our faces. My 8-year-old son was so scared that he hid behind me. The Wa girl handed over the bamboo wine with a smile: "This is holy water to wash away your worries!" Turning around, I saw the child learning the hair-flipping dance, with his hair flipped into a propeller🌀 Day 2 Primitive Life Lesson Following her grandmother in pounding rice with a foot-operated pestle, the daughter used the rice as a trampoline. Suddenly there was a "click" sound - she had actually used bamboo strips to weave a crooked "alien spaceship"! Experience face painting in the afternoon, my son became the "little leopard chief"🐆 Day 3: Exploring the Secret Realm We found the sacrificial house where "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was filmed, and the guide revealed the legend of the human head pile. The child covered his eyes in fear, but peeked through his fingers: "Actually...actually the skeleton is not scary, it looks like a chocolate cookie..." 🎪【Cultural Blind Box】Unlock the Wa Nationality’s Survival Code Wooden drum language teaching: learn to beat the three drum beats of "Gather-Eat-Danger" to win the horn whistle Hunting game: shoot bamboo arrows at straw targets, the prize for the champion is sour papaya preserves Weaving Challenge: Learn to use a waist loom from your grandma, and your child weaves an abstract "Rainbow Python" scarf 🏡【Must-Play List】Break into the cover of National Geographic ❶ Stilt house with grass roof After crawling into the thatched house and touching the bamboo wall, the 6-year-old daughter discovered dried corn hidden in the cracks of the wall: "This is winter food for the little mice!" ❷ Afternoon tea at the Sara Room Sitting cross-legged and drinking roasted tea from a clay pot, his son frowned because of the bitterness. The Wa grandfather laughed and handed him wild honey: "Life is bitter before it is sweet!" ❸ Carnival at the singing venue A bonfire was lit under the night sky, and the whole family learned to dance the hair-flipping dance. The child put the fluorescent bracelet on the bull's head: "Put a necklace on the sacred bull!" 🍚【Taste Buds Adventure】Original Food Picture Book Chicken rice: Wrapped in banana leaves and eaten, my daughter counted out 23 spices Wine and spirits competition: Father and son compete for the "ugliest frown photo", the sour taste will be unforgettable Grilled beef jerky: Watching the dragon-slaying knife cutting meat on site, my son tried to buy the "40-meter knife" but failed 🧺【Take home a mysterious souvenir】 Natural keepsakes: tassels from thatched roofs, isatis leaves for dyeing cloth Sound Magic Box: Recorded wooden drum rhythm + Wa ethnic group welcoming song Chieftain Certification: Complete 5 challenges to get a cow bone necklace (actually made of resin) When the sightseeing bus drove away from the village gate, my daughter suddenly said, "We hid the time switch in the wooden drum!" Perhaps this is the magic of Wengding - let the children understand awe in front of the ox head pile, feel the warmth beside the fire pit, and see the original intention of civilization in the wrinkles of 400 years🔥
