A land where women rule is not just a legend: it's an every day reality in the Musuo villages surrounding Lugu Lake. After a visit to this spectacular body of water, at 6,000 feet above sea level, Martin visits a local household and meets with three generations of Musuo women. He witnesses their tea making customs, sips their famous yak butter tea and shares snacks with family members. He then learns about and witnesses the coming-of-age ceremony of a Musuo girl. Later, Martin is invited to attend a special annual tribute to Heaven, Mountain and Water, during which he tastes specially aged pork and local spirits. As night falls, he joins his hosts to dance the evening away. Martin's Cooking Tip: Stir-Fry Techniques.
