Autumn has faded, and the colorful colors of autumn fall one after another, leaving behind the fading and dryness visible to the naked eye. It seems that only in winter can we enjoy the splendid spring flowers, the seaside leisure in summer and the autumn leaves in autumn. It seems that apart from the cold winter snow, there are not many rich elements for us to appreciate slowly, which makes us close-minded and often nostalgic. Perhaps, in the winter all the year round, just like a person's life into old age, no one has ever said that when a person knows how to miss and recall, it means that you are old.
Those birds that used to chirp in the village lost their activity in winter. Since I can't help recalling my thoughts and following the footsteps of distant birds, I can actually find a quiet place in winter. This is the case with Nian Lake in Huize, Yunnan.
Some people say that the origin of Nian Lake is because black-necked cranes fly over Wanshui Qian Shan every winter to Yuejin Reservoir in Huizeqiao Township for the winter. When winter goes and spring comes, when I fly to the north again, I can only leave my father and mother who are too old and weak to fly to the north and miss them for many years. They can't return to these waters until the next winter comes. The black-necked crane's attachment to love turned into a lake, hence the name "Miss Lake".
Live and die together, be loyal to each other and care for each other. This is a word to describe love, and this sad story has just made this most romantic place-missing the lake. So, in winter, if you are thinking of someone, go to the lake.
Nian Lake is the Yunnan Plateau at an altitude of 2500 meters, with a beautiful and magical red land. It comes from June 165438+ 10 to March next year. The national treasure migratory bird black-necked crane is called "white crane", which is equivalent to the giant panda among birds and is a national first-class protected animal. It, together with the giant panda and golden monkey, is called the "three national treasures" of China, and will spend the winter here in the future. In addition, Nian Lake is also the habitat of tens of thousands of waterfowl such as cranes, red-spotted ducks, striped geese, green-winged ducks, red-billed gulls and herons. Throughout the year, the lake is clear, with no embankment and no bridge, and grass banks everywhere. Clusters of long reeds on the shore extend into the water and divide the lake. Occasionally, I heard the cry of "Goo Ga, Goo Ga" from the depths of the lake, which was the cheerful cry of the black-necked crane. Blue sky and white clouds set off clear lakes, silent mountains, deep lakes, red land and agile migratory birds, and a picture of peace and harmony unfolds here.
Nian Lake comes from the water deep in the mountain stream, which is cool and pure. When there is no wind, it is as quiet as a virgin, just a mirror; Breeze blowing, sparkling; The morning mist floats like a dream. In late autumn, I miss the lake, which is filled with a layer of white fog. Black-necked cranes fly and coo in the fog, and the morning sun shines warmly on the lake and people who work in the morning. The sun rose, the white fog gradually dispersed, and the lake was golden. People who farm in the blue sky and white clouds, farmhouses, kitchen smoke and afterglow have become a paradise for photographers and donkey friends not to listen to dynamic pictures. PS: National canoeists also come here for training.
Miss this point, in fact, calm down and look around the world, and you will find that the winter in Huize does not lose the scenery in the north at all. Hunan is nearly 90 kilometers below in (note: the red land in Dongchuan is further south). On the 200,000 mu alpine meadow, there is a cloud wonderland-Cao Shan in the sea.
"Sea" is the homonym of "Qi Bai" in Yi language and "the place with the highest steps". There are many striking elements in this place, such as grass, flowers, streams, blue sky, white clouds and sheep, which form a beautiful and charming picture. Against the blue sky, white clouds and little sheep, it is more and more clear, quiet, elegant and clean. Sitting quietly on the grass mountain, white clouds pass by, and the mountain wind blows slowly, stroking your face and cheeks, just like being in a fairyland.
In spring here, the grass hill is like a carpet covered with broken gold. The carpet is covered with white clouds of sheep, the sky is wide, the eagle hovers in the sky, and the pastoral slowly rises with the whip.
In summer here, Cao Shan is a world of grass and an ocean of flowers. The green grass is paved with undulating grass carpets, and the gurgling stream turns back and forth, and all kinds of mountain flowers bloom all over the grass mountain almost overnight, dyeing the original clean green grass carpet colorful. Among dozens of mountain flower families in Cao Shan, the rhododendron at the foot of Guniuzhai Mountain is the most spectacular, with 50,000 mu of red and white flowers competing to open all summer. Those who are autistic, depressed and pessimistic just need to walk in and keep them radiant. In summer, the grass is green, the cattle and sheep flock, the swift gathers, the stream is elegant, and the white songs are covered.
In autumn here, the streams are moving, and the yellow-green scenery depicts a landscape where people live in harmony with nature, full of charming customs. Strong sheep make people think again and again.
In winter here, the snow in the cold winter puts on white clothes for the vast and empty seaweed mountain, and shepherds, cattle, sheep and Xuecao Mountain play a smart winter pastoral. The clouds in the distant sky are unpredictable, and the clouds on the mountain are like fairyland on earth. It has both the charm of Inner Mongolia prairie and the charm of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is simple, natural and beautiful.
If you want to continue to follow the footsteps of the black-necked crane, then go to Dashanbao, Zhaotong, and go north 160 kilometers. This is the hometown of the "bird panda" black-necked crane, where there are elegant steps of the black-necked crane. 65438+ Every year from February to March, black-necked cranes migrate to Dashanbao for the winter. Black-necked cranes are extremely strict in their choice of environment, but as long as there is a little pollution, they will give up their habitat. The scenic spots of Dashanbao Black-necked Crane are: Dahaizi Wetland and Tiaodunhe Reservoir. Dahaizi Wetland is the place where black-necked cranes spend the night, and Tiaodunhe Reservoir is one of the main wintering habitats of black-necked cranes in Dashanbao.
In addition to the graceful dance of the black-necked crane, Dashanbao is also a "little Tibet" in northeast Yunnan, and the scenery hidden here is also fascinating.

Jigong Mountain, named after its shape like a rooster's head, is the deepest basalt grand canyon in China, with an altitude drop of over 2,600 meters. The weather is fine, overlooking Niulan River at the foot of Jigong Mountain. The top of the mountain needs a spring, and when the water comes out, it becomes an ice waterfall. What is really amazing is the majestic and unique sea of clouds of Jigong Mountain, which is one of the essences of Dashan Bao. Because of the huge altitude difference, it has become the wing-mounted flight site of the highest highway direct jump point in the world. Pay attention to the game time on the internet. If you are lucky, you can be shocked by the limits of human challenge.

Climb high and look far, waiting for the magnificent sunrise and sunset, waiting for the sunrise and sunset that dyed half the sky red.

The Tiaodunhe Reservoir in Dashanbao has the reputation of "Xianhe Lake".

Jumping pier, known as "jumping pier in ten miles", is one of the main wintering habitats of black-necked cranes in Dashanbao.
④ Xiantian grassland
The best place to enjoy the grassland scenery is Caotianshan Mountain in Ren Xian, where you can ride a horse or lie on the grassland and watch the green grass and blue sky. In addition, sitting in farmers' homes, chatting, cooking potatoes and understanding people's feelings will also give you a special experience.
