A glimpse of Ximeng Va Eco-tourism Area

Name: Ximeng Va Eco-tourism Area

Level: National AA Level Scenic Area

Address: Ximeng Va Autonomous County

Scenic spots: Mengsuo Dragon Pool, Likan Waterfall, Muyiji Holy Valley, etc.

Brief introduction: There are over eighty thousand Washan people living in the World Va Cultural Conservation Area—Ximeng Washan. Cultural heritages, including the original and mysterious Mengsuo Dragon Pool, Yongkeluo Park, Sigangli Tribe, Longmoye Holy Land, Muyiji Holy Valley and the Relics of Three Buddhas in Fodian Mountain, are still preserved in the conservation area today. Activities such as pottery manufacturing, musical instruments, painting, weaving and dyeing, dancing and singing and sacrificing rites in this area serve as the living fossils for modern people to get to know the childhood of humanity.

Ximeng County is located on the bank of the mysterious Mengsuo Dragon Pool, based on the modern architecture with folk features of houses for Va people, extending five kilometers to all directions. Surrounded by the old-growth forest with evergreen plants, it enjoys fresh air and a clean environment. In addition, it also has unique and rich Va folk customs. All those contribute to an excellent eco-environment of "people in the city and city in the forest", hence its nickname “The first Eco-city in China”.
