When is a good time to go to Changhu Lake?

The best time in Longhu: the best travel time in Longhu;

Every year on June 24th of the lunar calendar, Shilin Scenic Area will hold a grand Yi Torch Festival Carnival. Friends who like lively and folk activities can go to Shilin at this time, which will definitely satisfy you.

Changhu Lake, a very pleasant plateau lake, lies quietly in the embrace of mountains. The slender lake is just like a beautiful girl, so lovely. Changhu Lake is located in the southeast of Shilin County, 18km, and about 120km away from downtown Kunming. It is about 3 kilometers long and only 300 meters wide. The lake is long, like a lying silkworm crescent moon, hence the name Changhu. It is also called Tibetan Lake, because it is hidden deep in the mountains and forests. Changhu Lake is the hometown of Ashima in folklore, and many scenes in the film Ashima were shot in Changhu Lake. Therefore, the locals regard the Long Lake as a sacred lake.

Changhu Lake is a karst lake, which is formed by geological faults. The long lake is very wide and big, and there are four small islands in the middle of the lake. These islands are full of wild flowers and fruits, and flocks of waterfowl live there. There are some islands in the lake called Penglai Island. The bottom of the lake is covered with rocks, pillars and stalagmites. When the water is shallow in the dry season, the rocks are bare and you can step on the island. The rocks on the south bank extend into the lake like a peninsula, and there is also a lake on the island, which is an island on the lake. There are more than a dozen small lakes around the lake, scattered in the mountains, because there are islands in the lake and lakes outside the lake, all of which are long lakes.

The lake is clear and calm. From the bamboo raft, you can clearly see groups of fish swimming leisurely in the water from time to time, and the green mountains and trees on the shore are reflected in it. That scene is pale and powerless under any flowery rhetoric. It will be a great pity to come to the long lake and not breathe fresh air well. When taking a deep breath, I feel that the air in Changhu Lake is so fresh and moist, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. In the spring, the sky in the long lake is high and crisp, and it is more charming and fresh against the blue sky, which makes the tourists here jealous of her. Tourists boating on the lake will disturb the birds on the island from time to time when crossing the island in the middle of the lake. Some birds will fly into the sky at once and keep chirping. Some birds will dip their wings in a few small water circles on the lake and then rush into the blue sky, so that you can feel the harmony between man and nature. The long lake in the sunset is also beautiful. The whole lake was painted golden by the afterglow of the sunset, with a little silver flowers and three or two bamboo rafts free. At this time, they gently slid to the shore under the urging of the sunset.

On the night of Torch Festival, Yi people gather by the lake, playing the piano, playing the flute, singing and dancing, and the bonfire reflects the lake, with the most pleasant music.

Besides boating on the lake, or fishing, or climbing mountains, or picking wild flowers and vegetables, there will be endless fun and aftertaste.

There is also a tall and straight Dushi Mountain near Changhu Lake. At the end of Qing Dynasty, Yi people He Guang and Zhao Fa led the public to rise up. According to Du Shishan, they resisted the rule of the Qing Dynasty and persisted in their struggle for more than ten years. Up to now, there are still stone wells, residual castles and grinding troughs dug by the rebels in those days. 1938, the famous historian Wu Han visited this place and wrote a poem: General Du Shishan will put up a flag, and all women and children know a general. I've been through a sea robbery and I'm still looking for ancient monuments near the sunset.
