Jisa is the major area inhabited by the Flowery Dai, a branch of the Dai minority in Xinping County, Yuxi Municipality. A village named “Binglangyuan” is accessible for visitors to experience the ethnic culture of the Flowery Dai. This village is composed of 60 families with a total population of about 300. Different from the Dai bamboo houses in Xishuangbanna in the south of Yunnan, most of the residences in Binlangyuan are earthen houses, similar to those of the Yi people in Chengzicun of Luxi County. Each year, the Flowery Dai hold several sacrificial ceremonies (presided over by “Wo Se”, the priests) for deities of mountains, plants, and water etc. They have kept traditional ways for making black sugar from sugarcanes by milling. Bamboo wares made in this village also enjoy a massive popularity.
