Gao Bie (pronounced gau-bier),1 also spelled Gau Bie, is a large town in the Sun Shogunate of Songbai234 that serves as a waystation for land and river trade routes. Its name is derived from the Tien phrase for "goodbye".4

During peacetime Gao Bie hosts traders and furloughed soldiers, and the town's lack of security despite its strategic location also draws criminals and adventurers.4

Cuisine

Its inns serve the town's renowned gaobiejiu sorghum liquor with meats fried in peppercorns.4
