Dali Jianchuan photography

Mango Travel Diary: When it comes to lakes in Yunnan, some people will think of Lugu Lake at the junction of Yunnan and Sichuan and Erhai Lake in Dali, others will think of Fuxian Lake, the largest water storage lake in China, and Dianchi Lake, the largest plateau lake in southwest China, but few people should think of Jianhu Lake in Jianchuan.

Jianhu, located in Jianchuan County, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province, is 6 kilometers away from the county seat, 6.2 kilometers wide from east to west, 2.3 kilometers long from north to south, and 2 186 meters above sea level. Surrounded by swamps, it is one of the important plateau wetlands in Yunnan.

When I asked Yang Ge, the innkeeper who stayed in Jianchuan, what scenic spots in Jianchuan were worth visiting, he recommended Jianhu. He said he felt much better than Lugu Lake and Erhai Lake. I was dubious about this, but he added that the lake was built in Jin Yong's "Tianlong Babu", which immediately aroused my interest.

In Ba Long Cloth, Duan Yu falls off a cliff and walks into Jianhu Palace seamlessly. "I looked up and saw the full moon. The clear light on the lake was like a layer of silver." The next evening, I saw "the sky is already west, and a rainbow appears on the lake, which is extremely beautiful." In fact, Mr. Jin Yong never went to Jianhu at all when he wrote this novel. 1When he was invited to Jianchuan in April, 998, he couldn't help sighing, which was almost the same as he imagined.

"Autumn Moon in Haimen" and "Fishing Lights on the Sea" are the beautiful scenery of Jianhu Lake. Unfortunately, due to the shrinking of the lake, the "autumn moon in Haimen" no longer exists, but the "fishing lamp at sea" can still be witnessed. There is a poem that says, "A boat on the sea is light, and the fishing fire comes as late as a star. On which floor does the bright light shine in the rough waves? "

Jianhu is not far from the county seat, about 20 minutes' drive. Along the way, we walked through villages and fields and occasionally met sheep. You can also see that women drive pigs. Not only chickens, ducks, geese, cows, sheep and horses are stocked here, but even pigs seem to be stocked.

As far as scenery is concerned, I personally think Jianhu Lake is not as good as Lugu Lake and Erhai Lake, and its area is much smaller, but it is very primitive and there are almost no tourists. Bai villages are scattered around the lake, with white walls and gray tiles reflected on the lake, sparkling, mountains rolling in the distance, green grass nearby, cattle and sheep grazing leisurely, just like a quiet landscape picture.

Jianhu Lake has not been developed, so there are no cruise ships. Brother Yang helps to contact fishermen. Boating on the lake, the blue waves are rippling and the breeze is slow, which is particularly comfortable. I only heard the sound of paddling into the water, and a few waterfowl occasionally sang, as if they had entered a dream. That kind of feeling is probably the feeling that Duan Yu entered Jianhu Palace.

Jianhu Lake is not as clean and clear as Fuxian Lake, but it shines with sapphire under the blue sky and white clouds. As soon as the boat turned around, the lake was as green as jade. Occasionally, a fishing boat passes by, looks at each other and drifts away.

The most beautiful waterfowl in the world, the purple waterfowl, lives here. Their numbers are very rare in China. Most of them live in lakes, swamps or grass and feed on insects, mollusks and aquatic plants. They are meek and timid. They can only watch from a distance and run when they get close.

June 15 of the lunar calendar is the most lively festival to build a lake every year. The villagers will dress up and walk around the lake in groups. Passing villages will go in and be guests, singing and dancing all the way, which is very lively. The villagers here are very enthusiastic. Even if they don't know each other, as long as the newcomers are all guests, they will be treated as guests.

It is said that the most beautiful place in Jianhu Lake is at sunrise and sunset, but it was already late in the morning when I went there. After swimming around the lake, I understood why Yang Ge said that he thought Jianhu was better than Lugu Lake and Erhai Lake. When you go boating on the lake, the world is so quiet, as if only this boat is floating in the vast universe. That kind of feeling is very special, which has never been seen in other lakes.

When I got off the boat, I couldn't help sighing that the sword lake written by Jin Yong was really extraordinary, which could make people find a little peace in the increasingly impetuous modern society, as if there was a shade of trees in the hot desert, which was a place to relax their hearts.
