Then visit the Likan Waterfall, Muyiji (a supreme deity worshipped by Dai people in Ximeng County), and Dragon Pool in Mengsuo and Yongkeluo tribe in Ximeng County. (In the Likan Waterfall scenic spot, one can enjoy the grand and majestic Likan Waterfall, and experience the vine bridge of the Wa ethnic minority, which is also reputed as the ancestor of modern bridges. The Dragon Pool in Mengsuo was formed in late Jurassic on a fault lake. Green mountains surrounding the pool and sparkling waters reflecting the inverted images of the sky and mountains make for a picturesque and charming scene integrating the beauty of the pool and the grandeur of the mountains. Longmoye who is said to live in the Dragon Pool is a divinity worshipped by Wa people, and the Longmoye Holy Valley is a place to make sacrifices to ancestors and pray for blessings and safety. In the scenic spot, numerous ox heads are hung on lofty cliffs, inaccessible precipices and towering ancient trees, giving people a strong visual shock and filling them with solemnity and reverence. In the Yongkeluo tribe, the largest wooden drum in the world is kept.) After that, have dinner at Ximeng County and take part in the Ximeng revelry – the fire dancing party of the Wa ethnic minority. The accommodation is arranged at Ximeng.
