If I had to give Banna a color, it would be yellow. Not because its most abundant (green is - with all the trees and mountains). But because of the important things here like
The Lancang river - it provides the livelihood for the entire Dai people and is a natural landmark of the region. It's also amazingly beautiful
The dirt - which is responsible for the yellow color of the river
Pineapples and Mangos - which are the most common fruit that people eat here
The bamboo - they have yellow bamboo instead of green here! and yellow watermelons too!
The peacocks - although they are blue and green, in the architecture, they are usually gold
The inspiration for this ode comes from Alberto's telling me that I look good in yellow, which surprised me because I always thought I looked horrible yellow, but I think now I will buy more yellow clothes.
