    In the evening, we held a party in a local restaurant, and witnessed lots of Tujia food and custom.

1.Bar wine:“Bar wine” is an ancient custom. When guests fromfar away, “bar wine" is set up at the Gate. It's a very solemn etiquette.

It is a rice wine brewed by the Tujia people themselves

2.High mountains and flowing Water (Toast): The main way they toasted tourists was to use the traditional "high mountain and flowing Water" toasting method. "High mountain and flowing Water" means that the Tujias' stockaded village is located on the high mountain, and the scenery is infinite and beautiful. The Tujias are rich in products and rich in life, and they are happy, just like the mountains flowing down the river. The wonderful happy times will last forever. This toasting method expresses the Tujia family's hospitality and longing for a better and happy life.

    Bloomden's trip to Zhangjiajie ended with laughter. A very good trip to Zhangjiajie. I have to say that Zhangjiajie is a good place. The mountains and rivers are more beautiful. The concentrated presentation of different types of natural landscapes and diverse ethnic minority cultures will not make you feel boring.
