Find the right look to go sit not seen Jiuxiang car, only one travel agency in the recruitment of guests at the railway station square in walking aimlessly. A young man dressed in clothes Yi heard of people going Jiuxiang We Three, they Meihao Qi, saying: "do not Jiuxiang to Jiuxiang doing? To the Stone Forest." And we also insist on their own thoughts, unable to persuade us to see , he had walked away.
As it is found to Jiuxiang car, we went to the Stone Forest tourist train office inquiries, by comparison, we decided to go to Shilin, then boarded a train bound for a small stone forest. Train the boys and girls Yi introduced the visitors to three tourist routes, there are basically three kinds of combinations: 1.A Line: Stone Forest - Stone Forest is ancient; 2.B Line: Stone Forest - Large Die Shui; 3.C lines (lines 2 Day Tour) Stone Forest - Long Lake. On the square who advised us to stone forest of the young man told us that if you like excitement, it should go to B-line that is the great Dieshui waterfalls and large and small stone forest in that group combinations. After discussing the three of us, but also felt more appropriate to the B line.
Get off, B-line of cars and two tour guides dressed in costume, where Yi waiting for us, and we got on the heels. Female tour guides do a self introduction, telling us you can call her - Ashima, call male tour guides for the A Heige. Now living in the Stone Forest area of a branch of the Yi people - so called Sani people are young men and women. Ashima describes the meaning of her dress: a white hat side of the tassel is the meaning of big Dieshui Falls; hat outside the silver beads are a symbol of the spider; while their hats into the two can not move embroidery triangle and the marriage is a relationship, can not be men's casual touch; behind the belt to which the men of the department is now more like a tie (Yunnan, one of 18 odd - tie when the belt). The A Heige introduce their clothes, and a head, said Rong Hua is not engagement, flower cloth behind the fig leaf, as it will shy Well! If there is no piece of cloth had been married, then said, wearing a waistcoat is the mother of hand-woven linen waistcoat. A Heige introduced to the big Dieshui the roadside along the way there is a place called the five trees (in the Yi language is beautiful and rich place where the meaning), initially Yi people live in the mountains, unlike the Han Chinese as favorite live in groups together, is now basically finished, except that still preserved their own language, its own text, as well as some of its customs and festivals. Stone Forest area is growing tobacco and raising sheep and goats as the main source of animal husbandry, where the specialty is the leaf (Yunnan 18 odd of the two - a good smoke myself to draw, the general is not takeout), and one is from the goat's milk in the extracted out of milk cake. Then he Yunnan, some 18 odd such as: eggs, string a sell straw hat when the lid, bamboo when the pipe, vegetables crying vegetables, Erkuai called Baba, hemp rope when the strap, three mosquitoes a dish, 4 rat a sack, big girl not using belt ... ....

Unconsciously, we have come to the big Dieshui Falls, the pace gradually as the depth bottom, waterfall sound of the shock so that we talk to voice weakened a lot, looked up from under the waterfall can be considered a more spectacular, from the high The mountain cliffs, a diarrhea-down, thrown in the lake a number of mist, which makes the past of not, but Lex is also spectacular, after all, the Pearl River first waterfall. There are some mountain cave hotels available for those who want to live to live, but for those of us busy-looking people on the need not. As more tourists, in order to prevent people from falling behind, tour guides are always kept an inventory of the number of their own team. We are visiting the Great Die Shui Dao Shanzhong waist and then take the cable car to backtrack, with the tour straight back to Shilin.
