Fuxian Lake, Red Land and Stone Forest —— Colorful Yunnan Tour (9)

Fuxian Lake is located in Yuxi City, and Red Land and Shilin are suburban counties under the jurisdiction of Kunming City. These three scenic spots are not far from downtown Kunming. After I returned to Kunming from Lijiang, I went to Fuxian Lake for the first time, which is very famous in recent years.

1, Fuxian Lake-the largest water storage lake in China.

Fuxian Lake is the largest water storage lake in China (the water storage capacity is equivalent to 15 Dianchi Lake and 6 Erhai Lake), the largest plateau deep-water lake and the second deep-water lake (the first deep-water lake is Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain), with an altitude of 1722 meters, located between Jiangchuan District, Chengjiang County and Huaning County in Yuxi City, among which Chengjiang County is the closest to Kunming, only 52 kilometers away. Take the bus from Kunming South Bus Station (Luosiwan Station) to Chengjiang County, and take the No.8 bus from the county to the entrance of Luchong Scenic Area, the most beautiful scenic spot on the west bank of Fuxian Lake.

Go along the scenic highway and you will reach the lakeside park. Luchong old fishing village near the lakeside park has been basically replaced by modern farmhouse music.

? There are only a few old houses left:

? According to the data, the beauty of Fuxian Lake can not be separated from the clear water, which is crystal clear and can be directly drunk. The ancients called Fuxian Lake "endless colored glass", and Xu Xiake, a traveler in the Ming Dynasty, recorded in his travel notes that "Yunnan Mountain is only rich in soil, so it flows into the sea, and the turbidity is unclear, but Fuxian Lake is the clearest". Visiting the lake in person, the water quality is really good, but it is not crystal clear and can't be seen in the end. It was cloudy and breezy when I went there. I saw that the lake was choppy and the sound of the waves was deafening, as if I had reached the seaside and could not see the other side. I think it's much wider than Erhai Lake.

? The lakeside park is beautiful;

The trees in Luchong are ancient, huge, rich and concentrated, which is rare in the world. According to the local people, there was a thousand-year-old fragrant tree in Biyan Park in the TV series "Waste Time" in the 1980s, so Luchong Village was also called Waste Time Village. I didn't go to see the Millennium Fragrant Tree, but I saw the 800-year-old Phellodendron amurense by the lake, which is the city tree of Chongqing.

Walking on the path by the lake is really beautiful and charming.

? The oldest car-water fishing area in the world has arrived.

Brief introduction of "fishing by car and water": There is a big hole in the south of Luchong Village. Spring water gushed out of the rock and merged into a big pond in front of the cave. Locals call it Zhenshui Cave. The water in the pond is slightly hotter than the lake. Fishermen dug thirty or forty ditches near the pond to connect with Fuxian Lake, and set up waterwheels where the pond water entered the lake, and set up a one-or two-meter-long moustache cage in the ditch to catch anti-wave fish (an indigenous species unique to Fuxian Lake) by virtue of the characteristics that fish like to go upstream when driving water. This is the famous "car water fishing". Every year from long summer to early autumn, almost all families digging fish ditches will take turns to go out to catch water by the lake. When the two-handed waterwheel travels along the lake for 30 to 40 days, the two arms of the waterwheel expand and contract with the extension of the handle of the waterwheel, forming a complete swing. From a distance, it looks like a beautiful folk group dance, which is very harmonious and spectacular. This fishing village style is particularly attractive to tourists. Fuxian Lake, which I went to at the end of March, naturally didn't have the pleasure of watching cars and fishing.

? Further on, we reach the core scenic spots of Golden Beach and Bijia Mountain, which are very beautiful, and we can't help but sigh: this trip was not in vain.

The origin of Fuxian Lake's name. In Fengshan Park in Chengjiang County, there is a sculpture called Fuxian Lake, which shows Xiao and the twelve immortals intoxicated in Fuxian Lake. There is such a record in the sculpture: "According to legend, there are two immortals in the sky, Shi Xiao, who were fascinated by the clarity of Chengjianghai and drove to the lake, intoxicated by the magnificent lakes and mountains, and even wandered back and forth. Over time, the two immortals put their hands on their shoulders and turned into stones. Fuxian Lake was named after it. "

2. Dongchuan Red Land

? Hongtudi Scenic Area is located in Hongtudi Town under the jurisdiction of Dongchuan (now Dongchuan District of Kunming), more than 250 kilometers away from Kunming. The main scenic spots are between 1800-2600 meters above sea level, which is the most remote area in Kunming. The data show that the land in Dongchuan area is easy to develop into red because of the high temperature and rainy weather. This kind of red soil contains more iron and aluminum, less organic matter, strong acidity, barren land and low grain yield. Fiona Fang is the most concentrated, typical and distinctive red land in Yunnan Plateau.

There are two routes from Kunming to Hongtudi Scenic Area: one is to take a bus at Kunming North Bus Station to Dongchuan and then transfer; The second way is to take a bus at North Bus Station to Ma Street, and then to Red Land. The second way is the nearest tourist route, but we should grasp the travel time. I went to Dongchuan by car for one night (mainly to see the scenery of the copper capital, but I was disappointed. Dongchuan city is only equivalent to Chongqing in the mid-1980 s. The next morning, I went to the red land by bus. The mountain that the car climbed along the way, without trees and grass, looks a bit desolate and beautiful. It can be said that there is nothing here, the only thing that can be found is the magnificent red land. Passing through Sun Valley on the way to Dongchuan;

The red land scenic spot is large, and tickets are not accepted. The best scenic spots are Luoxiagou and Hongtudi viewing building. The driver didn't stop at Luoxiagou, so I had to go to the red land viewing building. The observation building was built by educated youth who jumped the queue in Kunming that year (the wife is a local farmer, and the land for the observation building is the responsibility of the wife and family).

? The red land I saw:

There is a big difference between the red land and the propaganda photos. I think there are two reasons: first, the season is wrong, and the best viewing period of red land is May-June and September-65438+February every year; Second, some publicity photos are processed, and of course they look good. On the way back to Dongchuan, the driver stopped in front of a pine tree for everyone to watch and take photos, and introduced: This is a Sha Song tree, which is thousands of years old. It died for three years and came back to life. It is called "Old Dragon Tree" by local people, protecting people here.

I am very satisfied with my trip to Dongchuan. I saw the scenery in Dianjiang, Chongqing, and met many migrant workers (my mother is from Dianjiang). My hometown is here to help local people build houses. I had a warm conversation with them and learned that their living conditions were not bad. I am very happy for them. Traveling all over China, it can be said that no matter how remote, there are migrant workers in Chongqing and Sichuan. This spirit of special efforts deeply touched me, proud and proud. The villagers also helped me a lot, helping me park my motorcycle and take a bus back to Dongchuan. Thank you folks, I wish you peace and success in a foreign land! I also met a fellow villager in Jiulongpo, Chongqing, and met him in Xiaokongshan, Tengchong. Only three of them made it to Dongchuan, one of whom was 80 years old and the other two were over 70 years old, which was not easy. After parting, everyone told their experiences in Kong Xiao, and I blessed and praised them. We broke up again. I'm going to the famous traditional old scenic spot.

3. World Natural Heritage-Shilin

? Shilin, located in Shilin Yi Autonomous County, Kunming, is a national key scenic spot, a national 5A-level tourist attraction and a world geological park. In June 2007, it was "bundled" with Libo in Guizhou and Wulong in Chongqing to declare "South China Karst" as a world natural heritage.

Shilin is a famous traditional landscape in Yunnan. As early as 1930s, Long Yun, the "King of Yunnan", established the Shilin management organization, made preliminary planning, allocated special funds to develop Shilin tourism, and engraved the word "Shilin" on a stone peak in Oishinohayashi, becoming a famous Shilin landscape and symbol.

I am no stranger to Shilin. I went with the school during the summer vacation from 65438 to 0997. At that time, the car went directly to the core area of Shilin, and tourists could climb the stone peak. This time, I went to Shilin again. I first took a bus from Kunming South Bus Station to the county seat, and the next morning I took the No.5 bus to the gate of Shilin Scenic Area.

? At present, Shilin Park has a large area of more than 350 square kilometers, and only the core area of Shilin has 12 square kilometers. Therefore, every tourist must take the scenic spot battery car to the core area of Shilin at the gate, get off the battery car and walk to Shilin to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way and the "Shilin Lake" proposed by Comrade Zhou Enlai.

Ah, we finally arrived at the "Shilin Scenic Area". Marshal Zhu De wrote an inscription on the cliff at 1963, "Many peaks stand on the wall, and thousands of peaks overlap each other", urging tourists to explore successfully. The stone pillars and peaks rising here complement each other with the "Stone Forest" engraved on a boulder, which is fascinating. The beautiful scenery attracts tourists. There are so many tourists here that people take out their cameras and mobile phones and take pictures under the stones of the "Shilin".

Nature makes many strange peaks look like all kinds of animals, and their images are lifelike! Figure 2: My eldest brother and sister-in-law.

According to the regulations of the scenic spot, tourists are forbidden to climb the stone peak. People can visit Oishinohayashi along the scenic path like a maze, and finally reach Wangfeng Pavilion, which is the best place to enjoy the Stone Forest. At first glance from here, the stone forest is like a stone basin, standing upright and abrupt, and the stone peak is like a sword, piercing the sky.

Cactus on the stone peak:
