As the descendants of the ancient frontier strongmen, what ancient folk activities of the Lisu nationality have been preserved so far for tourists to participate in?

Lisu is a minority in Yunnan, China. Deep in the mountains, this nation has preserved ancient customs for many years, has its own language and believes in primitive religion. The biggest festival in a year is "Kuanshi", and various activities will be held. During the Spring Festival, Lisu people will hold a "spring bath" in Nujiang Gorge, which is very large. In addition, Lisu people have their own unique cooking methods, so tourists can also taste many delicious foods here.

Generally, there is no specific time in the open season, and it is generally judged by the time when cherry blossoms bloom. During the festival, Lisu people will not only pray for good weather in the coming year, but also hold various competitive activities, such as archery, dancing and playing games. , quite ornamental. These activities are related to hunting in ancient times. Visitors can also join their activities.

The Lisu people held a large-scale spring bath during the Spring Festival. Generally, as long as it is a suitable hot spring on the Nujiang River, it may become their bathing place. They believe that hot springs can wash away the filth of the past year and inject new vitality into the production activities in the coming year. This activity has been passed down for hundreds of years, and visitors can feel it.

Another thing I have to mention is the food of Lisu people. Sour bamboo shoots, braised chicken with wine and stewed duck with lacquer oil are all Lisu specialties. Sour bamboo shoots are made of vast bamboo forests in Yunnan, fresh and original ecology, and through multiple processes. When cooking braised chicken, you need to put a lot of white wine, and then add eggs after removing the fishy smell. Braised duck with lacquer oil is a traditional food loved by Lisu people in Nujiang Gorge. On holidays or the arrival of friends from afar, Lisu people will cook this dish to celebrate the festival and entertain distinguished guests.

Visitors to the Lisu Autonomous Region should not miss it.
