What are the interesting places in Yunnan?

There is a place in Yunnan where you can watch the sunrise and sunset for three days a day. This is the dawn scenic spot in Lijiang.

Thanks to the special geographical location, at the northern end of Liming Street, you can see three peaks with special shapes in the east, one of which is much higher than the other. So at about 8: 30 every morning, the sun will rise from the lower back of the first peak and climb slowly. It takes about half an hour to disappear like the second peak, and it feels like the sunrise was just about to meet in Liming Street, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye. After a while, the sun rose from the left of the second peak, hid behind the peak for half an hour, and rose from the upper right of the third peak for half an hour. This place is as magical as its name-Dawn.

Dawn is also one of the core scenic spots of the world natural heritage "Three Parallel Rivers". Every spring and summer, the mountain flowers bloom and compete for beauty, and a mountain rhododendron forest is colorful like a cloud; Winter is coming, the trees are full of silver flowers, the mountains are covered with snow, and the scenery in the north is beautiful. This kind of landscape is rare in the world.

Cashier Chaoyang

Qianguishan is located in Liming Township, Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City. It is the magical Danxia landform area with the largest area and the highest altitude found in China so far. A large piece of bare weathered rock is like a giant turtle crawling, and hundreds of giant scaly rocks on the turtle are like small turtles. The crawling direction of chinemys reevesii and Little Turtle is in the east where the sun rises, hence the name Qiangui Mountain.

This is due to the high altitude, resulting in an extreme "freezing and thawing" climate, thus creating a magical Danxia landform. Because there are cracks on the surface of red sandstone, weathering and erosion have taken place in the cracks, so a series of convex landforms with cracks have been formed, which are shaped like turtles. The scale and quality of its landscape are the most representative in China, and it is a must in China. Different seasons, different times, different weather, different angles, there will be completely different thousand turtle mountains.

Baishuitai

Shangri-La is the last pristine pure land that nature has given to the world. Many strange landforms naturally formed here amaze the world, and Baishuitai is one of the strange products left by nature.

Baishuitai is located in Bai Di Village, Sanba Township, southeast of Shangri-La County, with an altitude of 2380 meters from the county seat10/km. It is the birthplace of Dongba culture of Naxi nationality. Its shape resembles a terraced field, forming a dazzling silver screen in the sun, like a thousand jade steps on the platform, and like a thousand waves of clouds and snow. From bottom to top, one layer is a platform, one layer is a layer, and clouds and snow are piled up, pure white as fat and jade, spotless.

On the table, some are like scales, full of twists and turns; Some are like silver rings rolling and interlocking; Some are like silk fans, with flat folds; Some, such as petals, form various exotic flowers and grasses; Some, such as terraces, are stacked on top of each other.

Qianhu Mountain and Mingming Lake

There are two places in Yunnan that are said not to speak loudly, because noise will destroy the natural ecology such as air pressure over the lake. If someone shouts at the lake, it will rain or hail even on a sunny day. In any dry year, people at the foot of the mountain will prepare sacrifices, sing and dance and pray for rain from the gods. Suddenly, dark clouds rolled and it rained cats and dogs.

These two places are Qianhu Mountain in Shangri-La and Tingming Lake in Gaoligong Mountain in Nujiang River.

Qianhu Mountain is covered by virgin forest, quiet and mysterious. Lakes of different shapes can be seen faintly in the vast smoke, some are round like mirrors, some are curved like crescent moons, some are like crystal-clear necklaces made of pearls and jade, some are as shallow as ankles, and some are abyss. In the eyes of Tibetans, the lake is sacred and inviolable. Never touch the water with your hands and feet.

It's a little difficult to go to the Lake of Destiny. Tingming Lake is located 600 meters below the snow gate of Gaoligong Mountain, with an altitude of more than 3,500 meters. From Lushui County to Tingming Lake, it is necessary to cross steep valleys, pass through large areas of forests and alpine shrubs, and the road is rugged. Tingming Lake is clear and transparent, and the water depth is unpredictable. Pheasant, donkey, golden monkey, red panda, antelope and other rare animals protected by the state live here all the year round.

Jiyi rift

Deep in the mountains of Wuding, Yunnan, there is such a geological wonder-the Jiyi Rift Valley. The Great Rift Valley in East Africa is about12km long, 200m at its widest point and 6m at its narrowest point. Cliffs on both sides of the rift valley are opposite, and there are rich ancient trees in the gaps between the cliffs on both sides. At the bottom of the valley is the fast-flowing Daliang River, which forms a magnificent, strange, steep and beautiful cliff spectacle. At the narrowest part of the rift valley, a natural boulder crosses it and becomes the only channel connecting the two sides of the rift valley. Locals call it "Tianshengqiao". Villagers on both sides of the rift valley pass through here.

On both sides of the Great Rift Valley, chickens and dogs hear about each other, but it is difficult to get together all day, because the deepest part of the Great Rift Valley in the middle is more than 300 meters, which is bottomless, forming an amazing strange cliff spectacle.

The welcoming pine, which grows at the entrance of the Great Rift Valley in the crevice of the cliff, still stands in the air after years of wind and rain.
