In Hekai, we stay overnight in Dai family. The main crops here are rice and sugar cane. Every morning, the local people will put on a conoid hat to the field. Of course, people here are in manual dexterity, they will produce rattan things. This morning, I learned to basketry-bamboo basket. Local Master Yu Kang taught me the very basic skill.
About half an hour later, I made out a very simple basket; my teacher Yu Kang comfort me that I have done it well.
On the way to Menghai county, we passed a large paddy fields which have been repairing the road between the fields had a better road situation than 2008, so transportation is not a problem now even in raining season.
In the half way, we meet the elementary school principals in the schools. Once he worked in Hekai School, and last year he was maneuvered to this larger school. The appearance seems good, but the furniture (desks and chairs) is quite shabby.
Here you can see some children dressed like monks. In fact, the custom here, like Thailand, the boys must go to the temple before the adult some time, because first place to learn something is in the temple in the past and it’s a kind of custom there.
One section on the road with both sides has very tall tree with yellow flowers. It feels like driving in xinduqiao. Feel like in the fall.
Passing Menghai, we go straight to mountain area, one the road we can see Shuhu Village far away. As the vehicle roadway and trekking routes are different. So I
Only saw a rough outline but not experience it on my own feet. The mountains of the roadway is narrow, very suitable for mountain biking, motorcycle riding.
Evening we reached the final point, the Nannuoshan Hani village. We has our own base there
.On top of the village, a local cottage made by hand through 2 years hard work. We often carried out where the outdoor training activities.
Since it is Aini family (Hani), of course, live based on tea plant and make Pu’er Tea.
As each family has very good ground, people there are very wealthy. Their lives are basically very rural. When you visit that place, you can involve in their daily life which is filled with tea culture.
From the hill overlook the Gasa Airport, the night sky is very beautiful.
