嘎多月亮古寨
Show this to your driverGaduo: Cangyuan's lived-in 'moon village' on the Myanmar border
Gaduo, Danjia township, Cangyuan County
Gaduo is a Wa village more than 500 years old, listed as a Chinese Traditional Village in 2016, where families still live in wooden ground-level and stilt houses; many roofs carry a crescent-moon emblem. The Wa song 'The Moon Rises' (月亮升起来) was written here, which explains the moon-viewing platform and Moon Lake. Villagers run homestays and farm kitchens, so stay a night to walk the stone lanes at dusk and, if you can time it, watch a full moon from the platform.
What locals sayVisitors compare it with Wengding and like that this one is still an everyday village rather than a show; the trade-off is a drive of more than 30 km from Cangyuan town.
