Sunset, ancient petrel in Yunnan

I am in Chenggong, Kunming, which is thirty or forty kilometers away from Wuhua District, the main city of Kunming. Coupled with the traffic jam in Kunming, I decided to go to Haiyan Village, the nearest to Dianchi Lake, to see the beautiful scenery of ancient Yunnan in the sunset. At first, I didn't know there was Haiyan village. I just hoped that the driver would pull me to the nearest place to Dianchi Lake. The driver told me that I could go to Haiyan village to watch the sunset. This is my night trip.

Haiyan village used to be a small fishing village, but the fishing ban in Dianchi Lake for more than ten years has gradually faded away from the traces of the fishing village. Only from the rusty chain and one or two rubber boats in the farmer's house can we guess his way of making a living. Through the flat stone road of 100 meters, through the fried potatoes and flower stalls selling along the street, the end of the road is the looming Dianchi Lake.

The sunset time in Kunming is eight o'clock, and I arrived at Haiyan Village at six o'clock. Two hours of waiting is enough to exhaust my patience. I watched young boys and girls, wearing long skirts fluttering in the wind and holding sunflowers, come to the dock on the shore in groups of three or five or in pairs, leaving photos of youth under the lens.

The weather today is not as thorough as it was yesterday. Looking up, the mountain on the other side of Dianchi Lake is vague, and the sun shines from the thick clouds, making both the mountain and Dianchi Lake dirty. Walking to the shore of Dianchi Lake, the green algae grew wantonly, and the water in the pond was dyed green with a fishy smell. If you don't observe it yourself, in the direction of Shilong Temple, this green water is like the reflection of green trees on the mountain in the pond. After an hour and a half, the sky gradually darkened and the clouds gradually thickened. The sun struggled through the clouds, and four or five beams of light broke free from the clouds and shot into the distant mountains. At this time, the wind in Dianchi Lake blew away the heat during the day, and the cool wind blew on the face, which was very pleasant.

Kunming is a pleasant and livable city. Relying on Dianchi Lake, the heat storage and heat release function of Dianchi Lake also makes the temperature in Kunming not change obviously all year round, and the only deficiency may be strong ultraviolet rays. For a long time, Kunming has been famous for its tourism and flowers, and many surrounding towns and ancient villages have also become the must-see places for punch-in tourists among network celebrities.

But I have never liked tourist cities, most of which are pleasant and suitable, and will not attract me. On the one hand, because I don't like traveling, on the other hand, because tourist cities make people fidget, stop-and-go, stop-and-go, and there is no story. Just like a long-distance train passing by, it can only pass in a hurry and cannot accumulate its own stories.

It is said that Tik Tok contributed to the sunset of sea salt. A netizen uploaded the sunset of Haiyan to Tik Tok, which attracted many students from surrounding universities to stop and watch. Slowly, motorcyclists also stopped here to see where the sun stopped, and some foreign tourists came here. Haiyan village, which used to stop fishing, began to become popular when people came. People who go out to work go home to set up stalls, sell small flowers, barbecue, and some people start cleaning abandoned small buildings by the pool. In less than a few years, a desolate fishing village began to glow with the brilliance of new machines.

In Haiyan, ancient Yunnan, how long can the sunset stop to watch? The stall owner in the village is not sure. It is said that the demolition and resettlement houses have been built for the villagers in Haiyan. Maybe it won't be long before Haiyan will become a place name on the map and will eventually be covered by vegetation again. The sun goes down as usual, but people are gone.
