At this moment, after a long journey, they finally arrived in the beautiful and mysterious Banna.

As they slowly got out of the car, the time had quietly passed around three o'clock in the afternoon.

And the colleagues who had been waiting here for a long time finally saw them.

Everyone stepped forward, shook hands and greeted each other warmly. Everyone's face was filled with eager anticipation and longing for this mission, and they sincerely hoped that this mission could be carried out smoothly and completed successfully.

After a short rest, they were led to a specially arranged guesthouse.

After everyone had packed their luggage, the local colleagues immediately said they would take them to the newly built food street to sample the unique local delicacies.

This food street was recently built with great care, and its purpose is to showcase a variety of local specialties.

Here, you can find a wide variety of Dai specialties: fragrant bamboo rice, colorful pineapple purple rice, uniquely flavorful pork belly, delicious pebble fish soup, mouth-watering lemongrass grilled fish, and the uniquely flavorful baoshao (stir-fried dumplings)...

Each dish exudes a strong ethnic flavor and regional characteristics.

It is worth mentioning that many of the seasonings used in the local delicacies are rare in inland cities.

For example, lemongrass is a magical plant that not only treats fever and headaches, but also effectively relieves body pain. It is indeed a rare external medicine.

At the same time, with its unique aroma, lemongrass has become an excellent seasoning for cooking, adding a unique flavor to all kinds of delicacies.

This sumptuous feast of food made everyone present savor their appetites and feel satisfied.

The dazzling array of delicacies on the table are not only delicious, but also include many unique dishes that are unforgettable.

However, the most unforgettable thing about this place is not just the delicious food, but the houses made of bamboo where every household lives - the "bamboo houses".

There are many practical considerations behind the adoption of such a special architectural form.

First, bamboo itself has good fire-resistant properties, which can effectively reduce the risk of fire; secondly, it is also very effective in preventing insects.

The exquisite design of the upper and lower floors of the bamboo house is even more ingenious. It can not only ensure smooth air circulation between the lower and upper floors, but also create a comfortable living environment that is warm in winter and cool in summer.

The second floor of the Dai bamboo house has a reasonable layout and clear functions. It is divided into four areas: the main room, bedroom, front porch and drying platform.

When you enter the main hall, the first thing that catches your eye is the blazing fire pit in the center and the central pillar that supports the entire house.

Wide bamboo mats are laid around the fire pit. It is not only a warm place for the family to sit together to boil water, make tea and cook delicious food, but also a happy place for them to share family happiness and have long conversations.

The bedroom serves as a private space for family members to rest and relax on a daily basis, and the number of beds inside is arranged according to the actual number of family members.

Since the Dai people advocate a simple and natural lifestyle, there are not too many complicated furniture and gorgeous furnishings in the bedroom. There are only some simple but ethnic decorations hanging on the walls.

Then come to the front porch, which is an ideal place to dine, relax and entertain friends and guests.

Here people can leisurely savor delicious food, enjoy their leisure time, or warmly welcome visiting guests and chat with them.

Finally, there is the balcony, which serves many important living functions.

Here, people can wash and clean conveniently, hang clothes in the sun, organize and dry various crops, and properly store water jugs and other utensils used in daily life.

As for why bamboo is chosen to build houses, there are naturally many reasons.

Firstly, bamboo is relatively easy to obtain and can be processed very simply and quickly.

As long as the neighbors work together to help, an exquisite bamboo house can be built in just a few days.

Compared to traditional wooden houses, bamboo houses have another significant advantage - they can effectively resist the invasion of floods.

Due to its unique lower hollow design, it allows the surging water to pass through smoothly, thus greatly reducing the possibility of flood damage to the building.

However, it is a pity that good times are often fleeting. Tomorrow, they will embark on a trip abroad, and their destination is Country L.

It is worth mentioning that Country L is not far from Banna.

As long as they prepare and submit all the required documents tomorrow, it won't be long before they can leave this place smoothly and start a new journey.

As night fell, Yue Yue and Gu Changmu lay quietly in their comfortable beds, with a thousand thoughts in their minds.

According to the plan, they only need to go abroad with other colleagues.

After arriving, we will immediately carry out an important mission.

However, after careful consideration, Yue Yue believed that it would be better to accompany everyone at the first few stops.

After all, the current situation in these countries was not absolutely stable and peaceful, and there were certain risk factors. After everyone gradually adapted to the environment, she and Gu Changmu would then proceed to complete their individual tasks.

Hearing his wife's thoughtful and considerate arrangements, Gu Changmu was overjoyed. He couldn't help but kiss Yue Yue's pink cheek and said softly, "I will follow my wife's instructions in everything!"
