Liyuan Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces Zibi Lake on one side. Tens of thousands of thick and tall century-old pear trees stand tall. The village is hidden in the shade of pear trees. You see, the old pear tree covered with pears, the old house with red peppers, a string of big and strong corn cobs hanging on the beams, and the smoke from the kitchen on the roof, don't they show the prosperity of farmers' lives! The whole village 108 households, mainly engaged in dairy farming and tourism, with an average of 3 cows per household, is the village with the largest number of dairy cows per household in this area. Cow breeds are bred by cows originally introduced from Holland. It is said that a cow can produce up to 50 kilograms of milk every day. Beautiful scenery, complacent mentality and rich life make Liyuan people enjoy their old age. According to the investigation, the village died at the age of 80.
Since Tao Yuanming, people used to associate peach trees and peach blossoms with secluded places where people live in harmony with nature. It seems that only peach trees can achieve people's yearning for a peaceful and quiet life, but I don't know that there is a pure land in western Yunnan that is attached to pear trees, and it is also a good place for self-cultivation. That is Liyuan Village, Eryuan County, Dali, which is known as the "Pear Garden in the World". According to historical records, Xu Xiake, a great traveler in Ming Dynasty, has been to Chibi Lake. In Xu Xiake's travel notes, there are descriptions of villages and natural environment around Chibi Lake, but there is no description of Liyuan Village. Locals believe that this is because Liyuan village was an isolated place at that time and was not known to outsiders. Xu Xiake did not find Liyuan Village on this trip. Liyuan Village is located in the valley in the northeast corner of Zibi Lake, the source of Erhai Lake. It faces south, surrounded by mountains in the east, north and west, and faces Zibi Lake in the south. It is only about ten kilometers away from Eryuan County. To get there, the best route is to cross the lake by boat, where you can enjoy the clear water and four fields of Zibi Lake. Because bubbles keep pouring out from the bottom of the lake at a depth of twenty or thirty meters, it looks like a string of sparkling pearls coming out of quiet and clear water. In summer, there are precious and rare flowers in the lake. It is said that they only bloom at midnight and noon during the day, which is called "flowering meridian". Zibi Lake is also famous for its flowers.
Still on the lake, you can see a pear forest in the ravine from a distance, covering an area of about 600 mu, and the sun covers the whole ravine. Without guidance, I had no idea that there were 100 Bai families hidden among tens of thousands of pear trees. Abandoning the boat and landing, I saw someone fishing on the lake with car tires, someone washing clothes by the lake and entering the pear forest along the winding path of the fence. I vaguely saw the houses with blue tiles, white walls and red walls scattered in the depths of the pear forest. The pear garden is close to the courtyard, with lush green grass, wild flowers, birds and flowers, cicadas, chickens and dogs in the house. No matter in the village forest, the wind can't blow and the sun can't shine. Working people silently carrying laundry baskets, a scene of peace and tranquility. I can't help but envy the villagers here for having such unique soil and water and creating such a "world pear garden".
It is said that the earliest pioneers and residents of Liyuan Village are descendants of A's hereditary family in Tuzhizhou, Deng Chuan during Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. One of them, Aqianqiao, responded to the call of the imperial court to "reclaim the sea with the Israeli army" and took his two sons Cong He Cong and some people to Hutou Valley in Chibi, formerly known as Dahetou, to reclaim wasteland in the virgin forest and plant a large number of pear trees. A is A Dai from Jinggu County, Yuan Xian. After he came to the local area, he merged with the local indigenous Bai people and gradually became the "master" of the Bai people, speaking Bai dialects, wearing Bai clothes and worshiping Bai people. After several generations of painstaking efforts, Dahetou has become a densely populated village with pear trees and forests covering the whole valley. Dahetou, together with agriculture and fishery, became the main pillar of local people's life and was renamed "Liyuan Village". Up to now, no one can tell why Ashi chose to plant pear trees and decorate his beloved home with pear forests, perhaps because they "left" their hometown and missed their hometown; Maybe it's because they like the prosperity and enthusiasm of pears, or they like the taste of pears. In a word, they left a rich rice bowl for future generations intentionally or unintentionally, a harbor for us to temporarily avoid the storm in cold weather, and a model of respecting nature and harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
From generation to generation, Xiaoliyuan Village has formulated village rules and regulations to prohibit damaging or cutting down trees, and adopted measures to distribute trees to private contractors, make unified plans for land development and use in the village, and prohibit land reclamation around pear trees. These measures have better protected the precious heritage left by the ancestors of the pear forest. However, with the changes of the times and the multiplication of population, the traditional production and life style also lurks a crisis. Although Gulilin survived, after all, it could not shelter the villagers forever. Everyone in the village has six paddy fields and is self-sufficient in food. Plant coarse grains such as corn as feed to raise pigs, and then raise a few mules and horses, carrying fertilizer and the harvest in the field. Then they went fishing on the lake and went out to work. Their family income was relatively high and their life was not much problem. However, the old pear trees are aging irresistibly, and their fruits gradually have no market, so they can only rot in the ground.
Named after the village is full of pear trees, the only way out of the village is to row across Chibi Lake. The houses in the village are all hidden in pear trees. Looking at Liyuan Village from the other side of Chibi Lake, you can only see a green tree in the ravine, but you can't see any traces of the village. This is a typical Bai ancient fishing village with complete settlement characteristics. The villagers in Liyuan Village should not only protect their beautiful homes with dignity, but also actively explore new ways of production and life.
Seventy-eight-year-old Zhao Bingwen is the most energetic old man in the village. He not only helped to take care of the youngest of the fourteen grandchildren, but also helped his son to hold a farmhouse reception before and after running. He also acts as a model for curious tourists and takes pictures of them, because his image is really outstanding, kind and bearded. Before, he gave birth to three sons and four daughters, and the old people realized that having too many children caused the tension between the villagers and the land and nature, and also made them work hard and suffered a lot to raise so many children. After the reform and opening up, he can manage other things besides farming. First, he raised a lot of sheep at home, sold them, bought a big boat to take tourists to play on the lake and set up a farmhouse. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, they began to change their traditional way of life. A Yongquan, the village head, was one of the first farmers to engage in farmhouse music. They surrounded the pear forest with beautiful fences, set up tables and chairs, hung hammocks, set up swings, barbecued some fish and shrimps that were salvaged by themselves, cooked bacon by themselves, raised chickens by themselves, grew vegetables by themselves, and cooked sea fish in sea water, hides, milk fans and ginseng by themselves. After killing pigs and bleeding them, they used to burn the whole pig brown and scald it with straw. Sure, it tastes great. Many families, like the Ayongquan family, jointly develop and manage pear forests, which has little economic value. Pears can't be sold, but the pear forest has rare ornamental value. The pear blossoms in spring, the shade in summer, the red leaves in autumn, the branches in winter, the pure feelings of food and farmers, the scenery of Zibi Lake and the field scenery of the village are all enough to make people linger and stop.
People in Liyuan Village love dogs very much. Almost every family has dogs, and some of them are good German shepherd dogs. There are many tourists coming, and they don't bite. They are very sensible to get close to people and play with others, which increases the fun in the village. No matter which home you enter, fellow villagers treat each other like pears. Pear became a gift. Some people keep the old house, although it is not as good as Xizhou Deep House Courtyard, but it is also worth seeing: every household hangs red peppers and yellow buns on the porch, which is very picturesque. There is also a kind of citron in the yard at home, which is full of fragrance. Sitting in the pear forest is full of leisure and poetry; Walking in Liyuan Village, there are scenery and beautiful scenery everywhere.
It is a blessing for people in Liyuan village to have a beautiful environment surrounded by mountains and rivers. Know how to care for the environment and decorate your home with pear trees. Liyuan Village's tourism industry started from 1998, and there are 10 households developing farmhouse music, including 8 family hotels with 12 beds, 8 farmhouse restaurants with 150 seats and12 tourist boats. Every year, on the 23rd day of the seventh lunar month, it is the main temple fair of the third child in the Wanglong section of the river head of Chibi Lake. Bai people from Eryuan, Deng Chuan, Dali, Yangbi, Jianchuan and other places gather in the Longwang Temple in Hetou, Chibi Lake to burn incense to their masters and watch cultural performances and duet competitions. In the evening, a bonfire party will be held in the open space in front of the temple, watching Yi people play songs, and then arranging sea lanterns. Liyuan village is worth seeing all year round. In spring, there are pears in front of the house and behind it. In summer, the village is full of green eyes. In autumn, pears hang on the branches and are full of fruits. Even the bare pear trees in winter are placed in front of and behind the house one by one because of their colorful shapes, decorating the whole village into a beautiful sketch. Liyuan Village was originally named Hetou Li Village. In the Qing dynasty, it was named because the whole village was full of pear trees. This is a typical Bai ancient fishing village with complete settlement characteristics. The Bai people here have rich customs and charming natural scenery. Liyuan village has built 8 rural roads that go directly to Eryuan county, and cars can go directly. Take a speedboat to the county seat, and the waterway distance is 5 kilometers.
Whether it is riding an outing, lying in a hammock in a daze, picking fruit in the forest, fishing by the lake, playing cards under pear trees, different leisure ways in different seasons are all tourists' favorite ways to play. There are many delicious things in Liyuan village. Of course, roasting whole sheep is not necessary. And roast chicken. There are pears, plums and persimmons. The farmhouse has boiled earth eggs with fresh milk, milk fans made by villagers themselves, and sheep's head hoof flower soup. Fresh vegetables grown in vegetable fields near the village are different every season.

4. Surrounding attractions:
It is very close to geothermal state, Eryuan and Dali. Where to soak in hot springs? We recommend two time periods, one at dusk and one under the stars. Because geothermal state is full of wild interest and emotional appeal, it needs the cooperation of "weather". At dusk, the sky is full of red clouds, and the tired birds come back. It's really lively. At night, under the starry sky, frogs croak in the hot spring area, setting off tranquility and Zen. Wang Junxiong, the general manager of Asia Record Company, is a famous musician and producer of Asia Record Company, a Buddhist composer, singer and Buddhist monk, who has spared no effort to promote China folk music. He absorbed the aura of heaven and earth, absorbed the essence of mountains and rivers, and successively released a number of unique national music series albums. Li Yuan Chun was composed in Lyric China Series 03- Colorful Yunnan Days. The music is lively and cheerful, with typical Yunnan ethnic customs.

Spring in the pear garden
Draw people's attention
In February, the ground was warm and drizzling.
The purple blue lake is full of yarn, but there is no dragon king platform;
The spring breeze comes in March, and the tender willows are crooked.
Bi Cheng Mansion rises from the ground and ripples on the terrace.
Whispering about flying swallows, awakening the flower god to stay,
A pile of snow by the lake will destroy the village,
A leaf canoe and a plane, thousands of hectares of blue waves cut.
The jade core is concise and graceful, and the ice buries the iron arm.
Dancing like a butterfly, branches are dishonest;
All-night singing competition, sea lantern lake platoon,
A village of frost and snow, ten thousand acres of pear flowers.
Alas ~ ~, alas ~ ~, alas ~ ~; Alas ~ ~, alas ~ ~, alas ~ ~;
Alas ~ ~, alas ~ ~, alas ~ ~; Ouch ~ ~, ouch ~ ~, ouch ~ ~.
Snow-covered villages, boom, 10,000 mu of pear blossoms, boom.
In summer, the leaves are lush and green, and the roads outside the village are blocked;
Autumn leaves have fallen, eyes are golden, and fruitful branches are crooked;
Winter is bare, houses can be exposed, and branches sprout more.
(Nianbai): Xiaoyao Mibi Lake, Manmiao Liyuan Village, hi!
It is warm in February, and the drizzle is still hazy.
The yarn overflows blue lagoon, and the Dragon King does not see Taiwan;
Spring breeze comes in March, and the coast is soft and curved.
The water rises into a brothel, and the steps ripple.
Flying in pairs and whispering, the flower god wakes up and stays.
A pile of snow by the lake, the village will be exhausted,
Slide in a canoe, and the waves are clear.
Marriott condensed the jade core and the iron arm was buried in the ice.
The butterfly dance is endless, and the branches are disobedient;
All-night competition duet, lake and Shanghai lantern rowing,
Frost and snow cover a village, and pear blossoms open ten thousand mu.
Alas ~ ~, alas ~ ~, alas ~ ~; Alas ~ ~, alas ~ ~, alas ~ ~;
Alas ~ ~, alas ~ ~, alas ~ ~; Ouch ~ ~, ouch ~ ~, ouch ~ ~.
Frost and snow cover the village, bam, ten thousand mu of pear flowers, bam.
With green eyes, lush summer leaves and blocked roads outside the village;
Eyes are golden, leaves fall in autumn, and fruitful branches bend;
The house can be bare, bare in winter, and crooked branches are sprouting.
