Wenshan, Producer Of Pseudo-ginseng

Wenshan, Producer Of Pseudo-ginseng

Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture is the gateway of Southeast 
Yunnan and borders with Vietnam. It abounds with pseudo-ginseng, which is stated
 as “more valuable than gold” in the book An Outline of Herb Medicine (Ben Cao Gang Mu)
 by Dr. Li Shizhen (1518-1593) who was a reputed herbalist in the Ming Dynasty 
(1368-1644). Wenshan is thus dubbed as the hometown of pseudo ginseng.
Along this tour route, tourists can not only appreciate Karst landscapes with Puzhehei 
being the highlight, but also enjoy such ethnic festivals such as Miao’s Caihuashan
 (Singing Festival), Yao’s Dujie (Adulthood Ceremony for Yao lads) and Zhuang’s 
Bronze-drum Culture etc. Major tourist draws attractions of Wenshan are Puzhehei 
Resort of QIubei County, Bamei Village of Guangnan County, Fengyandong Village
 and Laoshan Mountain etc.
