Development history

It is said that a long time ago, I didn't know where a little dragon prince came from. Because he was greedy and hungry, he came to Menglai village to beg for food from door to door. When everyone saw that he was dirty and smelly, they refused to give him food. Only a kind old widow led him into the house, gave him bath water, served him delicious food, and then prepared to make his bed He said, "don't make a bed for him, just give him a dustpan.". At night, Prince Bruce Lee shows his true shape and sleeps in the dustpan, shining with gold. Early in the morning, when the old widow got up and saw it, she was startled. She ran out and told her neighbors. They didn't believe it, so she followed the old widow home. However, she saw Prince Bruce Lee changing back into human shape. She opened the pot and found that yesterday's leftovers were gone, but there was a piece of glittering gold. Everyone began to feel curious and decided to see if the beggar was a dragon? How to judge? That is to see if the person's feet are facing back, because according to the Wa people, the feet must be turned back into dragons. One day, they invited Prince Bruce Lee to a family and asked him to sit on the bench that they had smeared with liquid in advance. When Prince Bruce Lee was ready to stand up, his skirt was stained and his feet were exposed. When everyone saw that his feet were facing back, they couldn't help laughing and making fun of him. Unexpectedly, the noise angered Prince Bruce Lee. He turned into a dragon and roared away. After a while, Meng At the moment, the sky was dark, thunder and lightning were mixed, and heavy rain poured down. All of a sudden, Menglai Canyon became a vast ocean. But strangely, no matter how deep the flood was, the old widow's home was safe. Later, the flood slowly receded, and the mountain of Menglai Canyon became today's landscape because of the long-term erosion of the flood. That is to say, this mural is what the Dragon Prince left us. It is said that the remains of the Dragon Prince, prawn soldiers and prawn generals can also be seen in the front mural. Can we see that the winding kilometer gallery is really like a dragon inlaid in the valley?
