Manan — A Place You Simply Cannot Miss

Here stretch vast grasslands, mysterious highlands, and enchanting seas of clouds. Here you can taste mellow wine and enjoy captivating singing and dancing. This is a charming land of Yi and Miao villages, the “Shangri-La” of Yongshan. Rich ethnic traditions, simple folk customs and unique rituals will capture your heart and make you never want to leave.

The Ten-Thousand-Mu Grassland earns its name for its boundless expanse. It holds the hopes of local farmers and herdsmen. True happiness we long for is freedom without restraint: running freely across the open steppe, breathing the fresh air amid endless green pastures, and releasing all inner passion.

Honoured guests and dear friends from afar, our meetings are always few and far between. It is an ancient Yi tradition to greet guests with wine first. We offer our finest liquor to every visitor. Listen to the melodious Yi toast songs, and savour the warm three rounds of welcome wine of the Miao people. Let the melodious lusheng music and dances shut out the hustle and bustle of the city. Let the elegant Dat dance bring you the true taste of joy. My friends, when you hear the toast line — “Drink it whether you like it or not”, won’t you seize the moment and drink to your heart’s content? Let’s drink until we are thoroughly merry!

Light the roaring bonfire and ignite the fire in our hearts. Step into the graceful Dat dance along with beautiful melodies. Hand in hand and heart to heart, we experience the harmonious bond among all ethnic groups. Sing and dance to your heart’s delight, drowning yourselves in this ocean of songs and dances.

Come to Manan! Form an everlasting bond with this grassland. Warm-hearted ethnic people are waiting for you, and the vast ten-thousand-mu grassland opens its arms to embrace you.

Manan brims with passion and charm. This grassland is absolutely unmissable!
