This piece of land located at the southernmost tip of Yunnan is connected by mountains and rivers to Laos and Myanmar, and is close to Thailand and Vietnam. It covers an area of nearly 20,000 square kilometers and the national border is 966 kilometers long. It is beautiful, fertile, magical, and like a bright star.
The pearl is embedded in the southwest border of the motherland.
The Lancang River runs through the north and south and flows through its territory. After it leaves the country, it is called the Mekong River. It flows through Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam before flowing into the Pacific Ocean. It is known as the "Danube River of the East".
Because of its geographical relationship, Xishuangbanna has always been an important channel and base for Southeast Asia and South Asia. It is also a window for Yunnan to open to the outside world.
As for the origin of the name Xishuangbanna, it can be traced back to the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty.
It means a thousand acres, that is, a Banna is a unit for collecting taxes and servitude). From then on, the Dai name "Xishuangbanna" came into being.
"Xishuang" means "twelve" in Dai language. Xishuangbanna refers to the twelve Bannas: Banna Jinghong, Banna Mengyang, Banna Menglong, Banna Mengwang, Banna Menghai, Banna Menghun, Banna Meng
The entire Xishuangbanna is located south of the Tropic of Cancer and has a tropical monsoon forest climate. The year is divided into dry and wet seasons. The average temperature reaches about 21 degrees, there is abundant rainfall, and the climate is extremely hot and humid.
It is precisely because of this unique climatic condition and ethnic minority customs that Xishuangbanna has quickly become the most famous tourist area in southwest China since the reform and opening up. It receives countless domestic and foreign tourists every year and is the most popular tourist area in the entire southwestern region.
area.
However, this beautiful land is close to the most dangerous area in the world - the "Golden Triangle"
The so-called Golden Triangle refers to a vast area located at the junction of Myanmar, Thailand and Laos. The reason why it is famous around the world is not because of its name, but because of something else - drugs.
Since the 1950s and 1960s, the entire Golden Triangle has become the most famous drug cultivation area in the world. The "Golden Crescent" is located at the junction of Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, and the "Golden Crescent" is located at the junction of Venezuela, Peru, and Bolivia in South America.
The "Silver Triangle" is also known as the three areas in the world where drug crimes are rampant.
Due to drugs and traffic congestion, the entire Golden Triangle area is in a kind of no-care zone. Warlords, drug lords, adventurers, special forces from various countries and some fleeing criminals are flowing here, creating a smoky atmosphere in the entire area.
But such a chaotic area is a rich and beautiful land next to Xishuangbanna.
If it weren't for the fact that the Huaxia State has always been tough and strict in controlling the border area, I am afraid that Xishuangbanna would not be what it is now. However, even so, countless drugs flow into the territory of China through various secret channels every year.
Xishuangbanna, and even the entire Yunnan and southwest areas, have always been the frontline of China's anti-drug campaign because of the Golden Triangle.
Hundreds of anti-narcotics police officers and drug lords die in this area every year, and in the tropical jungles to the south, even more people die.
After coming out of the exit of Gasa Airport, the three of them stood at the exit and waited for a while. Ye Huang made a phone call, chatted for a few words, and then led the three of them forward for a distance. About five minutes later,
A taxi stopped in front of Ye Huang and the others.
"You three, would you like to take a car? It's very cheap."
"How much?" Ye Huang replied.
"Not much, eight hundred and eighty-eight, how about it?"
"Eight hundred and eighty-eight, you are cheating! The car just now only cost a few dozen yuan!"
As soon as the latter said this, before Ye Huang said anything, Nalan Qianqi, who was behind him, stopped and took a step forward to start reasoning.
We all heard that the taxis in this tourist area are the best at carrying people, but damn, you are just saying this with your eyes open.
But before he could rush out, Ye Huang grabbed Nalan Qianqi, a smile appeared on his face, "Let's sit down."
"Hey, this gentleman is still open. I guarantee your satisfaction. Get in the car."
When the taxi driver heard Ye Huang's promise, his face tightened at first, and then he smiled. He got out of the car, opened the door, took the three people's packages and put them in the trunk.
Here, Nalan Qianqi is dumbfounded. Isn't this young man's brain broken? He actually makes such a black car?
"What are you doing standing around? Get in the car quickly."
Seeing Nalan Qianqi standing there with his mouth wide open, Ye Huang, who was about to get in the car, urged him.
"No, sir, do we really want to sit down?"
"What do you mean, I haven't gotten in the car yet! I'll explain it to you after I get in the car."
Knowing that this old boy didn't understand, Ye Huang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Brother, don't worry, I won't make your money in vain. I guarantee that you will be satisfied."
"Satisfied, I'm so satisfied! ***888, it's enough to crow chicken ten times in Yucheng." With a mutter in his mouth, Nalan Qianqi got into the car reluctantly and sat in the back seat.
.
The car started and drove towards Jinghong City, the seat of Xishuangbanna Prefecture.
Perhaps he thought it was unreasonable for Ye Huang to agree to the driver's 888 taxi fare. In the car, Nalan Qianqi stared out of the car without saying a word.
Ye Huang, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, paid no attention to the old boy.
"Brother, you're still angry. Don't worry. Eight hundred and eighty-eight is the secret code for our connection. I don't really want you to give me eight hundred and eighty-eight. Don't get me wrong."
While driving, the taxi driver couldn't help but smile when he saw Nalan Qianqi's expression and turned his head to explain.
"What? The connection code? What does it mean? What is the connection code?"
As soon as the driver said this, Nalan Qianqi became a little confused. He turned his head to look at the driver, and then looked at Ye Huang, who was a little confused about the situation.
"Xiao Huang is the contact person in Xishuangbanna arranged by the monk for us. Eight hundred and eighty-eight yuan is the secret code for contact. You old boy, you take it seriously. Do you think I am stupider than you?"
While talking, Ye Huang laughed and cursed and explained.
"The monk arranged it? Why didn't he tell you?"
"Monk, can I tell you everything?" Ye Huang rolled his eyes at Nalan Qianqi, and was speechless at Nalan Qianqi's nerve.
"No, why is it eight hundred and eighty-eight? Why don't you change it to a cheaper one? Do I take it seriously?"
"It's cheap. Wouldn't the tourists who got off the plane actually take the seats? In that case, how could Xiao Huang pick us up?"
"It seems to be the same thing."
Nalan Qianqi, who heard Ye Huang's explanation, thought for a moment and muttered, "But why do we have to use the joint code? Is there any secret in it?"
