Home visit to a Tibetan family
Visiting a Tibetan home is a project with strong ethnic characteristics. Upon entering a Tibetan home, the elders present a hada at the door, and the women offer Qingke wine. Guests are then led to the main room, where they are offered hot butter tea, roasted barley flour, and fried foods. Qingke wine is freely available. There are songs, dances, and the presentation of hadas. Tibetan young men perform powerful dances and sing with deep voices, while Tibetan girls have graceful dance moves and sing with clear, high-pitched voices. Shangri-La has a wide variety of Tibetan songs and dances, the most representative being the Guozhuang dance of Jian Tang Town, the Nishiqing dance, Tacheng Reba, Deqin Xianzi dance, and the Yak dance, etc. These are all traditional performances in home visits to Tibetan people in Diqing Shangri-La. Tourists visiting Tibetan homes can also improvise and interact with local Tibetan families in performing arts.
Matsutake mushrooms
From June to August each year, during the rainy season, a type of mushroom called Matsutake can be found along the line from Dali and Lijiang to Diqing and Northwest Yunnan. It is a wild mountain delicacy that was once popular in Japan and Southeast Asia. Fresh Matsutake stir-fried with green peppers is fragrant and refreshing, and very delicious, but it cannot and should not be transported over long distances. If you happen to be there during the right season, feel free to enjoy it at a local restaurant.
Pipa Meat
A delicacy for Tibetan guests. Also known as pig fat meat, it is a traditional cured meat product of the Pumi, Naxi, Tibetan, and Lisu ethnic groups in Northwest Yunnan and the Sichuan border region. This area has a short frost-free period and a cold climate. After hunting, it is cured during the colder months of winter. The finished product is a beautiful red and white, with an enticing aroma. The color, aroma, and taste are similar to Xuanwei ham.
