National Geographic didn't lie to me, this is China's last primitive tribe

🛖 This is the mysterious place mentioned in 'Chinese National Geographic', the last primitive village in China! It's also the filming location for 'Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Valley of the Worms in Yunnan', doesn't it have a super cinematic feel? 😮‍💨 🗿 Over 100 households used to live here, with a history of more than 400 years! It's not only the birthplace of the Wa people of the world but also the village where the traditional culture of the Wa people is best preserved. If you want to experience the most primitive Wa customs, this is the right place! 👌 🍃 Located in Cangyuan Wa Autonomous County, Lincang City, Yunnan, surrounded by mountains, it feels like being embraced by nature. That primitive and mysterious feeling, as if even time can't do anything about it! 😌 🎊 As soon as you enter the village, the villagers welcome you with singing and dancing, and they even say blessings to you! It feels like coming home, super warm! 🥰 🍃 In the village, you can see the Wa people resting in every corner, and they will greet you warmly. Although you can't understand their local language, their smiles are really super healing! 😊 🪘 Inside the Wa village, traditional Wa architecture is preserved - the dry-column style thatched roof 'Cha Cha' houses, as well as various primitive bamboo and wood utensils. There are also Wa village gates, village posts, 'Sa La' houses, and other traditional culture and folk crafts, it's simply a cultural treasure trove! 🏺 🪇 Here are some travel tips! 1️⃣ Remember that water spraying starts at 10 am to cool down, so remember to hide inside the houses when it happens. 2️⃣ You can also experience Wa facial painting, which is super cool! 🎨 There are also various performance activities, such as Wa love songs, Lamu drums, hair-swinging dances, and more, all with a strong ethnic flavor. 3️⃣ Specialty snacks and tea are also free, which is a great deal! 🍵🍚 🛖 The location is the Wengding Primitive Tribe.
