Yele Lake, deep in the remote Liangshan Mountains, is a paradise. Why are there so few tourists?

Many people think this lake is Lugu Lake, but it is not. It is Yele Lake hidden deep in the mountains of Liangshan, also known as Yele Reservoir. Because of its relatively high altitude, there are plateau lakes. There are almost no tourists visiting the scenery, so the almost original natural features are preserved. Since few people know about it and only a few travelers go camping, it is still a paradise. On the map, Yele Lake and Yihai are relatively close.

Yele Lake is a plateau reservoir. Residents, grasslands, cattle, sheep and horses harmoniously become the most beautiful scenery here. Yele Lake is a plateau lake. The weather on the plateau is inherently changeable. The sun is shining one minute, and it may be pouring rain the next. When I first saw Yele Lake, the sky was blue, the sunlight was very dazzling, and the white clouds hung over the mountainside, as if they were within reach. Of course, there are also many people coming to play. We arrived at Yele Lake at ten o'clock in the morning. What we saw were the mountains and fields full of flowers and green flowers. A large number of tourists had already occupied a large area of ??lakeside grassland.

This is an original and quiet Yi village, unexpectedly beautiful! Yele Lake is beautiful. It will wash away the fatigue of your long journey and make you feel that the long journey is worth it! But if you can’t stand the cold in winter, it’s best not to go camping. It’s nice to take pictures and even more beautiful on a sunny day! In Yele Lake, the unpopular tourist attractions are even colder. Especially friends who go after October must bring warm clothes. Yele Lake is a place where the environment and people's soul are not polluted. People are simple, animals are peaceful, people and animals, people and nature live in harmony!

Yele Lake is actually a huge reservoir. After getting off the expressway, you need to drive about 20 kilometers on a winding mountain road. However, the road conditions are not a big problem. It is not difficult to drive a self-driving car. Just pay attention to the curves. Driving all the way, the first thing you see is the reservoir dam. Standing on the dam and looking out, you can see the mountains on one side and the huge Yele Lake on the other. Babies, don’t think that this is the end. Just continue driving inward boldly. When you see a small village by the lake, you will come to the core scenic area. The village is very original and sparsely populated. It seems to be a big tourist attraction. Some residents have already gone out to work. Under the clear blue sky, the entire lake spreads out like a vast ocean. The lake surface sparkles with sparkling waves under the sunlight. You can even see the snow-capped mountains in the distance. It is so beautiful!

When we were looking for a campsite, we saw garbage everywhere, including food packaging bags, mineral water bottles, and plastic garbage bags. It was a mess. A place with such beautiful scenery is such a mess. It's as shocking as a person suffering from a skin disease. As I write this, I sincerely hope that my friends who go out to play will leave behind your smiles, your footprints, and your presence, and don’t destroy this scenery that took so many years to acquire.

When we stopped by the lake to cook, a group of Yi children came over to watch. When we gave them some snacks, one of the nine-year-old girls asked us where we came from. Want to live here? I asked him, can I set up a tent here? She said, yes, but you can't litter. For a moment, I felt that they were like a group of little guards, guarding their own piece of pure land.

This is definitely a good place to camp. There are not many people and the scenery is good. There are mountains, water and meadows, and it is even more beautiful under the blue sky and white clouds on the plateau. The altitude is suitable, more than 2,000, so you don’t have to worry about altitude reflection, it won’t be too cold, and it’s relatively clean. Maybe we chose that location well. Take the Yaxi Expressway from Chengdu and you can drive there in 5 hours. The closest sky mirror to Chengdu is the plateau pasture, snow-capped mountains, blue sky, and reservoir. You can drive directly to the campground without hiking. I hope that the friends who come to camp in the future can also care for the environment. Take away your own rubbish and may this place always be pure.

I woke up very early the next day, because I basically didn’t sleep at night, and I didn’t sleep in the tent at all. I was freezing in the car. Except for the early night, my legs were shaking all the time. It was really too cold. I had never been so cold before.

Why do I say that Yele Lake is like an ocean among the mountains? If you approach the high cliffs, you will find that the lake water is beating against the shore like waves, accompanied by strong winds. Splashing waves. When we drove to Yele Lake, there were warning signs saying "Yele Lake Scenic Area is under construction and temporarily closed". Don't worry about it. As long as no one is stopping you, just drive in boldly! The lake is very calm. Even if the wind is not gentle at all, the lake seems not to be affected. Taking pictures in the wind is simply top-notch. Friends who go to play must bring a silk scarf to feel the speed of the wind.
