In 20 14, the karst landform of Maonan Autonomous County in Huanjiang, Guangxi was approved to be listed in the World Heritage List at the 38th World Heritage Conference, becoming a typical representative of "Karst in South China".

Huanjiang County, as the only Maonan Autonomous County in China, has high mountains and long valleys. What kind of scenery and customs is it?

Niujiaozhai Waterfall Group Scenic Area is a national AAAA-level tourist scenic spot, which is a natural ecological landscape integrating majestic karst peak forests, dense forests, deep canyons, winding streams, free and easy waterfalls and green ponds.

Maybe some people say, waterfalls? Who hasn't seen it? Detian International Waterfall, Guilin Waterfall, Jingxi Tongling Waterfall and Guangxi Waterfall are quite many.

But the waterfalls around the river are different. It's a waterfall group.

There is a first-class waterfall every 100 meter, and there are more than one waterfall 10, which is called "the most beautiful waterfall group in China" with high density, large quantity and beautiful shape.

Some are shaped like dragons coming out of holes, some are proud peacocks, some are like ladders going straight into the sky, some are like water curtain cave in Huaguoshan, and there are holes outside the curtain.

There is also the Seven Fairy Waterfalls, which is 60 meters wide and more than 50 meters high. The waterfall divides into seven streams and falls from the high cliff. They are elegant and meaningful in the air, hence the name.

The wind and spray from the waterfall, coupled with the coolness of the mountain spring, seemed to freeze the air at that moment.

As a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, it is the largest, well-preserved and most primitive karst forest in the world, with a forest coverage rate of 95.4%.

United Nations assessment experts call it "the most important gene bank of unique special resources in limestone areas of the same latitude in the world". The ecosystem of lime evergreen deciduous broad-leaved mixed forest in the middle subtropical zone is primitive and natural.

There is also the second largest elegant sinkhole group in Guangxi, which is comparable to the beaded sinkhole group in leye county. The original ecological karst forest, which covers the sky, has underground rivers and exquisite caves that come and go without a trace.

Lush trees, many caves and rugged rocks. After a long period of evolution, trees and rocks are mixed and varied, which is amazing. However, Wen Ya Tiankeng has not been developed, and it is not suitable for individual and group travel.

This winding river flows in the mountains. Gubin River is famous for its "long winding beaches and narrow rapids". There are dense forests and rugged rocks on both sides of the canyon, and the surging river is blocked into 59 rapids, which is an excellent place for rafting.

The ancient Guizhou-Guangxi road in the middle of the mountain, paved with bluestone granite, is deeply hidden in the mysterious and rare peak forest. When you set foot on bluestone, you set foot on the footsteps of the times.

Just listening to the name, I thought it was a memorial arch in the Northern Song Dynasty, but it was just naughty. But in fact, the Northern Song Dynasty is the Northern Song Village in Minglun Town, Huanjiang Maonan Autonomous County, Guangxi.

During the Tongzhi period, bandits were everywhere, and the Lushi family of nine were outnumbered and killed. At that time, young Lu Shi carefully hid under a stone trough to avoid bandits. After that, he fled to Yunnan, studied as an official, and took charge of Yunnan's finance and taxation.

He couldn't forget the sacrifice of his family in resisting hooligans, so he asked someone to report it to the court and got the approval of Emperor Guangxu. In the 20th year of Guangxu (AD 1894), two archways were built at the entrance of the village in the Northern Song Dynasty to commemorate this family.

Carve dragons and draw phoenixes on the lintel. The dragon is a dragon driving auspicious clouds, and the phoenix is a twin phoenix of Chaoyang. There are stone drums and lion guard doorposts on the base, and various three-dimensional gourds, dragon patterns and dragon patterns are carved on the top of the door. There are also various figures, animals, flowers and immortals, which are lifelike and elegant.

One says "a high fierce" and the other says "a high fierce". The whole archway is carved with large bluestone, which is seamless, with extraordinary momentum and exquisite skills.

On July 8, 1994 and 1994, Guifazheng (No.63) was designated as a district-level key cultural relics protection unit.

/kloc-the vicissitudes of 0/00 years have added a dignified and solemn atmosphere to it, and its color is closer to the mountain, so it has the majestic bearing and magic like a mountain.

Changmei River was once the main channel for trade with the outside world around the river. Standing on the mottled old pier, you can still feel the bustling scene of merchants gathering and foreigners shuttling.

On the cliff on the left bank of Xiaohuanjiang River near Xiafangtun, there are four characters "The mountain is high and the water is long", which is said to have been inscribed by Huang Tingjian, a calligrapher in the Song Dynasty. The font is bold and magnificent.

Along the waves, the misty fishing platform in Jiang Taigong, the lifelike stone of "Two Turtles Welcome Guests", the singing platform of Sister Liu, and the lifelike stone statue of Liu Bowen have stood in the river for thousands of years, welcoming countless literati.

On both sides of the river, there are lush trees, bamboo forest reflections and good vegetation protection. The river is clear and refreshing. On the small plain alluvial by rivers between mountains and peaks, there are lush vegetation, rural areas and farmhouses dotted around.

Take a boat or row a bamboo raft, feel the clear waves and flowing water there, listen to the birds singing there, and the mountains and rivers come into view alternately, just like a landscape painting, full of scholar's spirit and Jiangnan tenderness.

Miaozhai terraces are about 600- 1000 meters above sea level, and the bottom extends to the top of the mountain like a snail. The whole terrace line flows, sometimes ups and downs, sometimes winding, which is very spectacular and magnificent.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival, this terraced field is golden and stretches like a belt. Aerial photography overlooks Miao village in Zhuang township. Under the noble sky, the mountains are rolling, the terraces are layered, the mountains are surrounded and the ditches are vertical and horizontal.

The ancient Miao village is telling a thousand-year-old legend. Seeing flowers in the fog is "flowers are not flowers", with mysterious and rich ethnic customs, it went to the original Miao village and felt the original pastoral life.

The rural scenery along the river is beautiful. More importantly, it is the only Maonan Autonomous County in China, and the rich Maonan customs are even more eye-catching.

Maonan Nuo culture was born in Maonan's "wishing ceremony", also known as "hair set".

Maonan's "fat clothes" culture is mainly presented through Nuo dance, Nuo song, Nuo music, Nuo opera and Nuo sculpture. The Nuo mask sculpture of Maonan nationality with a history of more than 600 years has become a valuable asset of Maonan nationality.

In 2006, Maonan "Feitao" culture was listed in the national intangible cultural heritage protection list because of its mystery, nationality, original ecology and uniqueness.

Maonan Opera is a unique opera in Guangxi, which began in the18th century. It evolved on the basis of Maonan's "fat set" (that is, wishing) song and dance, and merged with other traditional Chinese opera arts.

Because Maonan people have no writing, many stories are passed down from mouth to mouth. Therefore, Maonan operas are mostly historical stories and folklore, praising the lives of working people and interpreting the joys and sorrows of love.

Most of the performances are songs and dances, with strong national flavor and local characteristics. Music is not recorded in the score, but is passed down by word of mouth. It is not easy to pass down from thousands of years ago.

Flower bamboo hat, known as "top card flower" in Maonan language, is an essential dowry for local women when they get married, and is known as the "national treasure" of Maonan nationality.

The flower bamboo hat is not only a tool to shelter the sun and rain in Maonan people's daily work life, but also a token of love between young men and women in Maonan people, symbolizing auspiciousness and happiness.

The flower bamboo hat culture derived from it (such as the weaving skills of flower bamboo hat and the singing and dancing of flower bamboo hat) is the cultural essence of Maonan nationality.

On May 20 1 1, the weaving skills of Maonan ethnic flower and bamboo hats were listed in the national intangible cultural heritage list.

Cultivated by local methods, the bone is fine and the meat is thick, the meat is tender and sweet, and the taste is soft and elastic.

But to see whether the fragrant duck is delicious, the key is duck sauce. Duck sauce is a mixture of blood and vinegar with spices such as pepper, shredded ginger and Guangdong coriander.
