This mysterious place is in Ximeng Wa Autonomous County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province, so "Long Moye" is a Wa pronunciation, "Dragon" is a forest, and "Moye" is a buffalo head, meaning a forest sacred place where bull's head is hung.
Buffalo is a symbol of wealth, power, and auspiciousness in the Wa people, and whenever the Wa hold a major event, the buffalo is used as the best sacrificial object for the event, a grand dart bull event is held, and the bull's head is kept in the "Dragon Moye". Gradually, there were more and more bull heads in the "Dragon Moye", and by now, it is said that more than three thousand bull heads have been hung.
The holy land of Longmoye is in the Mengsuo Longtan in the city of Ximeng Wa Autonomous County, and if you live in the county seat, you can reach it on foot.
Enter through the gate, walk along the right walking path, walk for ten minutes, and you will arrive at Long Moye. Don't go left, it will make a big circle along Longtan, and it will take more than an hour! Of course, if you want to hike around the lake, just ignore my tips!
In the early morning, the sun has just risen, the water surface is covered with mist, and the grass tip hangs crystal dew, which is reflected in the golden red by the sun.
There was no one on the boardwalk, only the sound of their empty feet.
The more I walked, the more frightened I became, and my heart beat the drum.
Some people must ask, isn't this a very nice and quiet environment, what are you afraid of?
Ahem, look down!
Has the style changed? Mossy stone steps, on both sides are decaying bull's heads, the sun is far beyond the forest, can not shine in, the whole mountain forest, filled with an inexplicable eerie atmosphere...
Of course, it's also possible that I scare myself. After all, I have seen pictures on the Internet for a long time, and I have psychological hints.
The sun passed through the bull's head, gathering a strange light, as if the bull's head, which had been corroded to the point of obscurity, had vitality.
Pass under these many bulls...
The Sacred Land of Dragon Moye has arrived.
What comes into sight is the densely packed bull's head, on the treetops, on the cliffs, on the creek, on the grass, there are bull's heads everywhere, and when you see it, you are shocked beyond measure!
These bull heads don't know how many years they've been hanging here.
The bull's head is covered with moss... How long has it been.
Not a single person.
In this place, deep in the mountains, even if the sun has risen high outside, it is still dark.
I coughed loudly, sang songs, and emboldened myself.
It was easy to hear people's voices, it was a few uncles and aunts in Yunnan Province, they said that they were also afraid, so the four people came together.
I heard that I was alone, and they all gave me a thumbs up, and I was actually a little scared! Just no way, who let their own nature, is a little risk factor, like this strange and strange place! Often because of a picture, an interesting custom, thousands of miles to find the past. This time to Ximen is also, in order to see Long Moye, on the irrelevant no attraction line, live rushed for three days.
A clear stream babbles through. I don't dare touch it, in case I disturb which god?
There are also cigarettes and alcohol on the altar, which are probably respected by the locals.
About three or four years ago, women were forbidden to enter. However, now that tickets are sold, there is naturally no such provision.
You should also walk very carefully so as not to kick or touch the bull's head lying around.
The Dragon Moye Holy Land is actually not large, it is the size of a single-family villa, but because of so many countless bull heads, the shock force given to people is very large.
