The tranquil and mysterious realm in Jin Yong's writings - Yunnan·Dali, the valley of cherry blossoms in winter

When other cities have entered winter, spring here has slowly arrived. When it's snowing heavily elsewhere, flowers here have already bloomed into a sea. In November and December, cherry blossoms across the country are still 'hibernating', but in Nanjian, Dali, the cherry blossoms are creating a stunning spectacle against the natural order. Nanjian, a low-key small county at the southern end of Dali, but it has the only valley in Yunnan full of cherry blossoms. Here, is the tranquil and mysterious realm in Jin Yong's writings The cliffs locked in white fog, the rolling waterfalls hanging in the air like a jade dragon, the statues of fairy sisters in the secret rooms of the caves. The Wuliang Mountain in Jin Yong's writings is a deep valley mystery, which changed Duan Yu's life when he accidentally entered. The martial arts world in the book is not real, and the tranquil and serene Wuliang Mountain is too ethereal, so much so that long after, when people step into here and see the real appearance of this mountain, they suddenly realize that it not only exists in the novel, it is the place where spring arrives the earliest. The ancient saying goes: 'In April, the flowers in the world are fading, but the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are just beginning to bloom.' Now, when the winter snow is fluttering, the cherry blossoms in Nanjian are in full bloom. From late November to mid-December each year, tens of thousands of winter cherry trees planted in the Wuliang Mountain Cherry Blossom Valley are blooming in competition. This is the place where spring arrives the earliest, always surrounded by a faint pink, like a fairyland! At night, you can also stroll among the tea gardens and see the stars and cherry blossoms reflecting each other. The beauty here is actually an accident. 'Intentionally planting tea for ten thousand acres, unintentionally planting flowers for a thousand trees' is the best interpretation of the cherry blossoms in Wuliang Mountain. In fact, the protagonist here is not the cherry blossoms, but the tea trees planted on the mountain. Just because they planted winter cherry to shade the tea trees, they accidentally created a romantic garden in winter. The beauty here is actually just an accident.
