【Three Pudi Scenic Area】
The Baili Rhododendron Scenic Spot is huge in scale. How to visit such a large scenic spot so as not to miss her excitement?
Baili Rhododendron Scenic Area is mainly divided into Pudi Scenic Area and Jinpo Scenic Area. Generally, tour groups will take tourists to visit Jinpo Scenic Area in the morning, and then go to Pudi Scenic Area in the afternoon. When we arrived at Jinpo Scenic Area at 8 o'clock in the morning, there were already a sea of people. Therefore, it is recommended that tourists who do not follow the group go to the Pudi Scenic Area first in the morning, and go with the tour group on the wrong peak.
Main scenic spots in Pudi Scenic Area: Wucai Road, Yuntai Ridge, Shuhua Peak, Shexiang Ridge, Zui Jiuniu, Red Army Square.
Wucai Road is located in the core scenic area of Pudi, formerly known as "Wucha Road". It overlooks thousands of miles of mountains and beautiful bouquets up close. This is a mountain road meandering in the sea of flowers. It was originally the only way for the coal caravan of the Yi family to shuttle through the villages.
During the blooming season, there are rhododendrons all over the mountains and plains on both sides of the road. Just like the colorful clouds in nature, the cherry blossoms on the road are as beautiful as ribbons, hence the name "Colorful Road".
They bloom tenderly and full of strength. It is the azaleas that have been bred for a whole winter and have experienced wind, rain, frost and snow.
Take a sightseeing battery car and drive on Wucai Road. After arriving at Shuhua Peak, you can enjoy the flowers while walking on the road. There are also some trails on both sides of the kilometer, where you can watch Rhododendrons up close. There are very few people on this section of the road, so if you want to take beautiful photos, you don't have to go to the crowd to grab a seat.
"Shuhua Peak" is the highest peak in the entire Pudihua area. Here, you can see all the peaks of flowers, which is a kind of heroic yet gentle temperament.
One mountain after another, one after another, like a sea of flowers, boundless. The waves are green, and the rhododendrons of different colors are the waves, and the rolling is bright and shocking.
There is also a "colorful pavilion" on the mountain, which is one of the scenic spots in Pudi Scenic Area where the interest of life of the Yi people is deposited.
Avoid the crowds in the Pudi Scenic Area, and go to encounter the sea of flowers that only belongs to you. When the spring breeze opens your heart, you will witness a reunion that is difficult to separate.
Standing on the top of the mountain, I suddenly understood the flower language of the Great White Rhododendron: time is no longer distance, and distance is no longer a shield, because there are spring forest songbirds expressing affection, and stars all over the sky are watching kindly. When you understand Ling Yun Gathering and Scattering, you will understand how cherished Shou Wang is.
【Si·Jinpo Scenic Area】
Baihuaping in Jinpo Scenic Area can be said to be one of the wonderful places for Baili Rhododendrons. It is the scenic spot with the most varieties of rhododendrons.
Every year when the rhododendrons bloom, people of all ethnic groups in the area gather together to pray for good weather and peace for the country and the people.
Legend has it that every year in the third month of the lunar calendar, the fairies in the sky will secretly come to the world to enjoy the flowers and dance with the girls and boys in the flowers. Therefore, since ancient times, it has become a good place for the flower arrangement festival of the Yi people and the slope jumping festival of the Miao people every year.
The Wanhua Building in Jinpo Scenic Area is also a viewing point where you can climb up and overlook the panoramic view of Huashan Mountain. Climb high and look far away, surrounded by flowers, with emerald peaks.
There is also a cable bridge downstairs called Soma Flower Bridge, which has now become a famous bridge here. Recently, we were unable to go to the bridge due to maintenance, so we were lucky enough to take pictures of the Soma Flower Bridge without people on the bridge. It exists like a fairyland, which is all our illusions about beauty.
There is a lantana forest in Jinpo Scenic Area, which is also one of the important scenic spots in Baili Rhododendron Scenic Area. It is the place where the lantana rhododendrons are concentrated.
Rhododendron lantana is also called "lantana flower" and "Soma flower". It is said that it is a sacred flower turned into the blood of the girl Soma.
Lantana is the big red tassel worn on the horse's head in the past. Rhododendron lantana trees are relatively tall, with dense corolla, large and beautiful.
Walking into the lantana forest, looking up and looking around, like a cluster of fire burning flowers on the branches, it reflects the sky and the earth red. It is the red heart, the fiery love, the enthusiasm in a tired life.
[Wu Transformed into a girl of the Yi nationality, leaving a beautiful shadow in the rhododendron bushes]
Here is not only a "paradise of flowers, wilderness of heart" where you can see the splendid rhododendrons for hundreds of miles and wash away the dust of the city, but also appreciate the original ecological ethnic culture of Wumeng.
There are places to rent ethnic costumes in the scenic area. It is also a different experience to choose a set that you like, shuttle among the flowers, and record the most beautiful moments.
It's better to turn into a girl of the Yi nationality and explore the "Rhododendron Township, the ancient area of Yijiang".
According to legend, after the branch of the sixth ancestor of the Yi nationality ancestors, the Mobu Deshi family of the Yi nationality entered the northwest of Guizhou to expand the territory and multiply. A long time ago, there was a beautiful Yi girl named "Soma", who was the third princess of Pule, the chieftain. Her intelligence impressed the world, her hard work made the villagers admire her, her beauty made the mountain eagles forget to fly, and her singing voice made all the birds jealous.
There is a sheepherding Yi boy named "Azhe" who is hardworking and kind. He is like an eagle flying in the sky. His vigorous figure amazes the sun and the moon, and his bravery can make monsters tremble (fear). "Soma" fell in love with Azhe, and they made a private decision for life. Due to various reasons, Pule did not allow Soma and Azhe to get married (here, the marriage of young men and women in ancient times was decided by their parents).
On a moonless night, when people were sleeping, Soma and Azhe fled their homes and fled to the sparsely populated Jiulong Mountain. They picked wild fruits, ate yams, drank mountain springs, and they brewed wine with sweet spring water. The beautiful Soma girl sang the most beautiful wine song: "When the clouds and the rain meet, let the rainbow drink; When the sun and the moon meet, the stars have a toast; when girls and boys meet, heaven and earth have a toast; when relatives and friends meet, Soma (later people changed "Soma" to "Yijia") to respect you Three hundred cups." They lived in harmony with compatriots of all ethnic groups and were respected by the people.
It's a pity that the good times don't last long. The leader "Azhi Luoni" fell in love with "Soma"'s intelligence and beauty, and killed "Azhe" on the way to pick wild fruits, forcing "Soma" to marry him. "Soma" swears to die, and jumps off the cliff to show favoritism to "A Zhe". The rhododendron that was dyed red by Soma's blood turned into a fiery red rhododendron, and her soul became a beautiful rhododendron. Today, when I walk in the flowers, I still seem to hear the sad voice of the rhododendron "Azhe, Azhe" cry.

There are two small islands in the lake called "Love Island" and "Couple Island". According to legend, the two islands were originally on one side of the lake.
Later, because of love, they kept moving towards each other. Over time, the two islands gradually approached, and it looked like Colorful and Ana were still performing and telling their love story.
