In late autumn, when you come to Borrow Mother Creek, in addition to enjoying the layers of forests here, you can also feel the joy of harvest. The rows of corn and red peppers hanging outside the feet of the Tujia are telling stories about autumn.
Here, you can sit around a round table with the locals and listen to their interesting stories. At night, under the mountain breeze, go to bed early. The idyllic song of "sunrise and sunrise, sunrise and rest" is daily here.
See a show and feel the unique culture
Come to borrow Muxi, the wonderful live-action drama "Bamarin Blossom" is not to be missed. During the farming period, in order to reproduce, there was a "wife system" in some remote areas, in which women from outside the mountains were brought to the village, and then sent back after completing the task of having children, and the children were left behind, never to be seen again. The only remnant of this "pawn system" is in the Borrowing Mother Creek, which has a unique heterogeneous cultural connotation.

"Bamboo Blossom" is based on the "bamarin" stories and characters circulating in the Muxi area, and integrates the national intangible cultural heritage prefecture puppet opera and the provincial intangible cultural heritage Yuanling mountain song trumpet into the performance through the forms of performance, such as pupant dance, panmu trumpet, tea-picking song, etc., telling a series of tragic and joyful stories between a local carpenter worker Spring Niu and a fox flower girl Wan'er.
