Nature has created a fantasy world in Yunnan

How long have you not traveled through the clouds and embarked on a journey that your heart desires? In the days when you can’t cross the ocean and travel waywardly, there is a place in China that has become a good place to travel. It has the isolation of Iceland, the mountains and lakes of Switzerland, and the quiet terraced fields of Bali... Created in nature Between the vast world, travelers travel through mountains, rivers, lakes, and jungles. With the ups and downs of the altitude, they wonderfully experience the changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter in one day. The blank of the 2020 travel year, let the color palette of Caiyunzhinan be colored for everyone!

Baishui Terrace: Fantasy "Terraces"

Yunnan has many spectacular terraces, whether it is the Yuanyang terraces left by the Hani people for generations, or the cloud-shrouded Nanuo terraces hidden in Yuanjiang County, Yuxi. People voluntarily take a ride and see for themselves "the most beautiful curve on earth." ". Obviously, the accomplishments of nature do not stop there. In Baidi Village, Shangri-La, Yunnan, there is a unique "terraced field".

The "terraces" whose color is like the sea of ​​stars are actually white precipitates of calcium carbonate formed after the decomposition reaction of calcium carbonate in the stone platform water, which has been continuously covered with layers of white rock over several years. Due to the high mineral content in the water, the refractive index of the water body is large, and through the absorption and reflection of light, it finally presents the blue of the ocean.

Nature has spent years of decomposition and precipitation, creating a transparent blue white water platform. It is precisely because Baishuitai is too fantastic that there are stories related to the gods among the local Naxi people. Legends have it that the Naxi gods created this jade-like "terraces" in order to pray for a good harvest.

The power of nature is so powerful that it can even make people doubtful about what created the shocking scene before us.

Lugu Lake: "Sky Realm" composed of water and light

People who have been to Lugu Lake will gradually develop the "Lugu Lake Complex", and they want to go there again after a while. Lugu Lake, located at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, has inconvenient transportation, but it also has the personality of being alone. If you want to enter Lugu Lake, you can take a plane from Kunming to Ninglang, and then take about an hour to arrive. However, because of the low cloud weather in the area, the flight may be cancelled. Second, you can go from Lijiang, Yunnan or Xichang, Sichuan, 5 to 6 hours by car, along the road is basically a winding road.

The journey through the mountains and ridges is like a "cultivation", when you reach the end, the clarity and tranquility of Lugu Lake can be more evident.

I found a homestay that was transformed from a local resident’s house. I sat on the balcony facing Lugu Lake and soaked in the sun. You can see the blue light glowing on the lake like the sky, and the pig boats rowed over two beautiful lakes. The water mark, the goddess mountain and clouds in the distance are playing hide-and-seek games... Water and light perfectly interpret the beautiful life here.

The most beautiful lake in Lugu Lake is the "land of the sky". During the daytime, depending on the difference in sunlight, the reflection of the lake will also change.

On the northwest bank of Lugu Lake is the Lige Peninsula. Standing high, you can see the purity of the "sky realm". Lige Village will also hold a bonfire party. The local Mosuo people will wear folk costumes and surround themselves in the large courtyard in the center of the village. Sing and dance over the campfire. On the southwest bank of Lugu Lake is Daluoshui Village, where there are a large number of wooden houses unique to the Mosuo people. The whole house will not use bricks and tiles, but is built with timber. Daluoshui Village still has some commercial atmosphere. Local residents will make some restaurants and Mosuo handmade memorial shops along the street, and they can also go to the Mosuo Folk Museum to learn about the Mosuo culture.

Meili Snow Mountain: a gentle and solemn watch

The poet Ma Hua, who has always stayed in Meili, said, "My favorite... is the transparency and emptiness on the top of the mountain covered by the foot of the cloud."

Meili Snow Mountain, the first of the eight great Tibetan sacred mountains, long ago, the violent crustal movement created a large north-south snow mountain group in the east of Zayu County, Tibet and the west of Yunling Township, Deqin County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan. Kilometers.

If the distant European Alps are dreamy and romantic, Meili Snow Mountain is even more mysterious and solemn. In many cases, people can only watch it as a distant observer.

Or when passing the fierce Jinsha River turn, or in the Napa Sea where black-necked cranes and bar-headed geese inhabit, or in the sacred Feilai Temple, stop and watch the Meili Snow Mountain in the distance. Followed to open up. If the weather is sunny at sunrise time, you can still see the magical sight of Sunshine Jinshan.

Regrettably, Meili Snow Mountain still prohibits climbing to the summit. Locals say that this is a mountain dedicated to gods. If humans reach the summit, gods will leave them. The usual trekking route is from Ninong to Yubeng. The Tibetan villages hidden in the mountains and forests truly have the faith of Shangri-La.
