Up to now, there are still matriarchal families with women as heads and members, and matriarchal clan marriage system of "men and women are unmarried, voluntarily combine and freely separate".

As soon as they set foot on this hot land, all the tourists were moved by the "Ahabala" that was suddenly far away and near, and were tempted by the motorcycle armor that rolled like a dragon. You see, the piggy boat floating in the distance, carrying A-mei, beckons to you and sticks out its throat: "Oh, my friend, don't leave when you come. A-mei will accompany you to the west of the moon. "
