People who love life, life also loves him

Dianchi Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Yunnan Province, is also known as Kunming Lake. Coming along the scenic road to Haigeng Dam, the view suddenly becomes wide, and there is such a vast lake on the plateau, which is worthy of the name of the pearl of the plateau. Before the arrival of winter every year, a large number of red-billed gulls fly to Dianchi Lake to spend the winter, and Haigeng Dam becomes an excellent place for bird watching, which is a beautiful scenery line in Kunming. There are several ways to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dianchi Lake: you can take a Dianchi Lake cruise, walk along the lake, or choose the Longmen cable car next to Dianchi Lake. Looking down from the cable car, the lake and mountains are all in sight. The whole Dianchi Lake, like the sea, is vast and boundless, with the sky and the water in one color. A Haigeng divides Dianchi Lake into deep sea area and shallow sea area, the shallow area is called Grass Sea or Inner Sea, and the deep area is called Outer Sea. The Daguan Tower on the shore of the Grass Sea, built during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, has a different charm to watch Dianchi Lake from the Daguan Tower. The most famous is the Daguan Long Couplet. Sun Ranweng, a poor scholar in Kunming, wrote a 180-character long couplet, which is known as the 'first long couplet in ancient and modern times', and is worth a look. |Bird watching route ( Route ①: Ship House River → Haigeng Dam → Haihong Wetland → Jiangwei Village Route ②: Laoyuhe Wetland → Haiyan Village → South Dianchi Beach → Ring Lake South Road Check-in point Haihong Wetland 4:30-6:00 in the afternoon, this year's number one or two bird watching places, there are many seagulls!!
