It is said that Yunnan has many tourist traps, but there are still many people traveling to Yunnan. I think the main reason is that Yunnan has pleasant air and picturesque scenery. Another comment about Yunnan is that "the wind blowing in Yunnan is culture, and the ground you step on is history." Yunnan's Erhai Lake, Xishuangbanna, Shangri-La, Dali, and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain all have stories in their names.
The first impression of Erhai Lake is "poetry and distance". Erhai Lake, located in the suburbs of Dali, Yunnan Province, is the second largest freshwater lake in Yunnan Province. It is said to be named "Erhai Lake" because it is shaped like an ear. Erhai Lake is rich in aquatic resources and has excellent water quality. It is also a scenic spot with meandering scenery. The villages, countryside, water and mountains along the coast are so beautiful. Although it is called a sea, it is actually a lake. It is said that because Yunnan is far inland, the Bai people expressed their yearning for the sea and called it Erhai. Erhai Lake is the "Mother Lake" of the Bai people, and the Bai ancestors called it the "Golden Moon".

Xishuangbanna, as its name suggests, is a beautiful and moving city. Xishuangbanna is a gathering place for the Dai people. In the literature and art of the Dai people, poetry, stories and legends play an extremely important role, and people are good at singing and dancing. There is also the famous Water Splashing Festival of the Dai people, which is also the historical condensation of Dai culture. Xishuangbanna also has the Wangtianshu Scenic Area of ??Xishuangbanna Tropical Rainforest National Park, a typical representative of China's tropical rainforest, which is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction. The Wild Elephant Valley in Xishuangbanna, located in the Mengyang Nature Reserve north of Jinghong, is a national park with the theme of animal protection and environmental protection.

? Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is even called a sacred mountain by the Naxi people in Yunnan. The thirteen snow peaks of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain are like a "giant dragon" flying over and over in an endless stream, so it is called "Jade Dragon". And because the mountain rocks are mainly limestone and basalt, and black and white are distinct, it is also called the "Black and White Snow Mountain". Due to the uneven rise of the earth's crust, the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain has formed a landform of alternating high mountains, deep valleys, and high mountains, creating its extraordinary appearance.
