The village Matang de los Gejia

If you like traveling, you will like Shangril�.

A different book from trips, in which the protagonist, the author who offers you this information about Beijing, penetrates in some of the most remote regions of China. In this succession of mountains that spread to the south of Sichuan and the northwest of Yunnan, inhabited by related peoples of some form with the Tibetan culture, as the Yi, the Moso, the Naxi or the Bai. Following the track that the always damned Yi mark, it will finish bottled in the Shangril� search.

In the outskirts of Kaili there is one of the most interesting areas to meet the different peoples of the family of the Miao. Between them Matang occupies a place emphasized by his situation and his interest. Matang is to only to twenty kilometers of Kaili, for a quite good highway, after the mountains in which the rebels Miao fought his last battles against the imperial troops in the XIXth century. From the highway a wooden cartel indicates a way round that it turns to the mountain up to coming to the village of Matang in strict sense.

This is one of the most beautiful villages of the Gejia, a people that, in spite of being classified officially like a branch of the Miao, they support that there are an independent cultural and human entity. In fact, the Gejia have a few garments especially attractive and his singings and dances are of the most original in the region.
Gejia de Matang is visited regularly by the foreigners, by what the population is kind and although they have the habit of offering to the visitors the option to buy some of his beautiful textiles, or to pose for them in the traditional suit, they never prefer his commercial interest to his traditional hospitality. In fact, the figure of a visitor bothers nobody smelling bad between his houses and fields, which it will receive only from the villagers to whom it surprises his visit, a cordial smile.

The country Gejia, let's say that it spreads to the north from Matang, but for someone who does not speak Chinese, it will be very difficult to be able to communicate with the people of the villages more to the interior, in that the people the days of newspaper do not usually are dressed in the traditional troop either. The highway, also, from Longchang is quite bad.
