Exploring the culture of ethnic minorities|The mysterious holy land of primitive religion-Long Mo Ye

There is a Longtan Park in Ximeng County, Yunnan Province. The park is connected to Awa Mountain. There is a mysterious sacred place of primitive religion in the depths - Long Moye We were full of curiosity and awe about this place before coming here And when we saw it with our own eyes, we were still very shocked. "Longmoye" is the pronunciation of the Wa people. "Long" means forest and "Moye" means faucet. Together they form a "sacred forest full of cow heads" That's where the gods gather It is said that the stairs at the entrance used to be lined with cow heads. But it’s gone now. You need to keep walking up the mountain stream. When you arrive at the Holy Land of Long Mo Ye, you will see trees and cliffs covered with cow heads. Here you will feel the mystery and ghosts of primitive religion The forest is deep and quiet, and few people usually come here. The Wa people believe that everything has animism Since ancient times, cows have been regarded as sacred mascots and worship totems. After death, people will come to Long Mo Ye During every major festival, the Wa people come here to offer sacrifices. In fact, from Wengding to the Longmo Ye Holy Land in Ximeng We have a more comprehensive understanding of the Wa ethnic minority From their history, culture, religious customs, clothing and architecture, etc. I really got to know the Wa people 🌈Travel tips: ✅Long Mo Ye is located in Ximeng County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province ✅The park is free. After entering, walk along the wooden boardwalk on the right and you will reach the foot of the mountain. ✅Respect local customs and do not touch the cow head ✅After going down the mountain, you can follow the wooden plank road in Longtan around the lake, which is 4.7 kilometers away. The air near the lake is very good and can be used for exercise. If you don't want to go, just go back the way you came. ✅If you are driving by yourself, there are many parking places near the park ✅In the small county town near the park, there is a market in the morning and a night market in the evening. It is quite lively. If you have time, go shopping together.
