During the summer vacation, I had the opportunity to visit Dianchi Lake in Yunnan.
There is no sea on the plateau, but plateau people yearn for the sea, so they call the lake "Hai" or "Haizi". However, Dianchi Lake in Yunnan, known as "a pearl on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau", has the appearance of the sea due to its vast lake surface. However, it is neither called "sea" nor "lake", but "pool". Holy pool on the plateau. Dianchi Lake has both the magnificence of the sea and the beauty of the lake. It is the mother lake of Yunnan and the holy water lake in my heart...
"Dianchi Lake, also known as Kunming Lake, is located in Kunming City, the capital of Yunnan Province. To the southwest is a typical plateau lake with an altitude of 1,886 meters. It was formed by the collapse of ancient geological faults and is a famous plateau freshwater lake in the country. "
Dianchi Lake is dotted with lakes around its long shoreline. There are many natural villages. I can see villages everywhere, the fishing nets drying in the villages, and the scene of the fishermen in the village returning late from fishing. "Their life is really easy-going" I thought.
The sun was shining brightly at noon that day, the sky was clear, and there were large white clouds floating in the blue sky. We took a boat into Dianchi Lake from the side of Daguan Tower in Daguan Park beside Dianchi Lake. The cruise ship slowly sailed away from the lake shore and then accelerated. In Dianchi Lake, the sky and the water are connected, and the water and the sky are the same color; the water surface is full, as if it is about to rise out of the horizon; looking from a distance, it is so white that it is impossible to distinguish the water, sky, and mountains; up close, the light is like gold, which is dazzling to the eyes. Tourists were intoxicated by the scenery of the lakes and mountains, taking pictures as souvenirs.
I was even more attracted by this magnificent scenery. The Grand View Tower behind us gradually moved away from us and turned into a landscape. The boat rows across the water, and the ripples collide with the scattered sunlight, refracting various apertures, which are colorful and very charming. I was completely immersed in the huge water polo and felt the sacredness of Dianchi Lake. At that moment, my soul was not dusty, as if I was a saint, merging into the vast, holy and spectacular "Sky Lake" of Dianchi Lake. In the front right is the Western Mountain, which is close to the water. The continuous Western Mountain is like a sleeping beauty, wearing a green dress, smiling shyly against the white gauze shrouded in clouds. Boating on the lake, the water and sky are of the same color, and the mountains are light and rippled, and you can truly experience the transcendent state of nature.
In the evening, smoke rises from the villages along the lake, and fishing boats rush back. The bow and stern of the boat are pointed, and there are several baskets of harvest in the narrow and long boat. The boat rides on poles. The long poles are much longer than the boats. The fishermen are quite skilled in poles. The fisherwomen all wear hats and scarves on their heads, and they are not inferior to the men when they are rowing boats. It is like a competition, you chase me, and they sail very fast. A group of white gulls and waterbirds flew busily overhead, as if they were looking for an opportunity to eat the small fish on the boat, or they were celebrating the fisherman's harvest after a hard day's work. The golden-red sunset illuminated the sky and the lake into a deep blue. This scene was as beautiful as what I saw in the paintings when I was a child.
Dianchi Lake, your shining pearl, is embedded in the central Dian Basin with green mountains and graceful scenery.
I praise you, you are the holy water lake in my heart forever.
